Su Ling's Time Travel

On his way out, Tong Jinyu couldn't help but shed tears. He didn't understand why Su Ling was so cold to him, why she couldn't forget Consort He's miscarriage. He felt innocent and helpless. He didn't know how to face this cruel reality, nor how to stop the pain in his heart.

And Su Ling? Watching Tong Jinyu's departing figure, a strange emotion welled up within her. She knew her coldness today might have hurt him, but she couldn't control her feelings. She felt conflicted and helpless. She didn't know how to face this cruel reality, nor how to stop the pain in her heart.

As night fell, the city lights gradually came on. Tong Jinyu walked home alone, his heart filled with loss and sorrow. He didn't know how to get through this special day, nor how to face the future.

And Su Ling? She sat alone at home, watching the lights outside her window dimly. Her heart was filled with complex emotions: pain, guilt, and helplessness.

Su Ling sat before the bronze mirror, a delicate jade hairpin in her hand, about to insert it into her hair, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the window. She frowned slightly, gently placed the hairpin on the table, and turned to look out the window. She saw a maid rushing in, her face pale, seemingly carrying some urgent news.

"What's the matter that you're so flustered?" Su Ling's voice was calm and authoritative; she could see the panic in the maid's heart at a glance.

The maid knelt down, her voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, news has come from the border that there is some unrest. His Majesty is planning to send the eldest prince, Tong Jincheng, to the battlefield for training under General Jiang Yexuan."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling's heart tightened. She understood that this was not just a simple trial, but a test for Tong Jincheng. She remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "What about the Second Prince, Tong Jinyu?"

The maid lowered her head and spoke even softer: "His Majesty also intends to have the Second Prince go along, saying that he wants to train the two princes."

Su Ling closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knew this was a good opportunity to train her two sons, but the battlefield was ruthless, and she was also worried about their safety. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the garden outside, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Go ahead, let me think about it." Su Ling's voice was tinged with weariness; she needed time to consider this issue.

The maid responded and hurried away. Su Ling stood alone by the window, her mind churning with conflicting thoughts. She knew that as the mother of a prince, she couldn't only consider her own feelings; she also had to consider the interests of the royal family. But as a mother, how could she not worry about her son?

As night fell, Su Ling sat in her study, a book in her hand, yet she couldn't turn the pages for a long time. Her heart was filled with contradictions and struggle. She knew she had to make a decision, but she was also afraid that her decision would bring unpredictable consequences.

Just then, the study door was gently pushed open, and Tong Jinyu walked in. He was dressed in a brocade robe, with a touch of heroic spirit between his brows, but his eyes revealed a hint of unease.

“Mother, I heard…” Tong Jinyu’s voice was hesitant, as if he dared not say what he was going to say next.

Su Ling raised her head and looked at Tong Jinyu, her eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "Jinyu, what have you heard?"

Tong Jinyu lowered her head and said in an even lower voice, "I heard that I am also going to the battlefield with General Jiang Yexuan."

Su Ling stood up, walked to Tong Jinyu's side, and gently patted his shoulder: "Jinyu, this is your opportunity, and also your test. Are you afraid?"

Tong Jinyu raised his head and looked at Su Ling, his eyes shining with determination: "Mother, at first I was a little scared. But I know that this is my responsibility as a prince. I must face it and overcome it."

Looking into Tong Jinyu's determined eyes, Su Ling felt a surge of relief and pride. She knew her son had grown up; he had the courage and determination to face difficulties. She gently took Tong Jinyu's hand, her voice filled with tenderness and encouragement: "Jinyu, remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, never give up. Your father, your brother, and I will all be there to support you. Go, prove yourself with your courage and wisdom."

Looking into Su Ling's gentle yet firm eyes, Tong Jinyu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew he had the support and encouragement of his family, and he had the courage and determination to face anything. He held Su Ling's hand tightly, his voice filled with determination and gratitude: "Mother, thank you. I will, I will definitely prove myself with my actions."

Watching Tong Jinyu's resolute figure recede into the distance, Su Ling felt a surge of inexplicable emotion. She knew her son was about to embark on a path filled with unknowns and challenges. But she also believed he possessed the courage and wisdom to face anything. She silently prayed for Tong Jinyu's safe return.
