Su Ling's Time Travel

The following morning, in the main hall of the palace, the Emperor sat upright on his dragon throne, his majestic gaze sweeping over the crowd below. He spoke slowly, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness: "I have decided to send the First Prince, Tong Jincheng, and the Second Prince, Tong Jinyu, to the battlefield to train under General Jiang Yexuan. This is a test for them, and also a training opportunity."

In the main hall, everyone nodded in agreement, and no one dared to raise any objections. Su Ling stood to the side, gazing at the Emperor's imposing face, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her. She knew that the Emperor's decision was irreversible, and she could only silently accept it.

Tong Jincheng and Tong Jinyu stood in the center of the hall, their faces resolute. They knew this was a rare opportunity, but also a severe test. They had to prove their worth and ability through their actions.

"Your subjects obey your command," Tong Jincheng and Tong Jinyu said in unison, their voices filled with determination and resolve.

Looking at the resolute expressions on his two sons' faces, the Emperor felt a surge of pride and satisfaction. He knew his sons had grown up; they possessed the courage and determination to face difficulties. He nodded slowly, his voice carrying a hint of encouragement and expectation: "Very well, I look forward to your performance. Go forth and prove yourselves with your courage and wisdom."

Tong Jincheng and Tong Jinyu responded and turned to leave. They knew that a path full of unknowns and challenges awaited them. But they also believed they possessed the courage and wisdom to face anything. They would prove their worth and ability through their actions.

Watching her two sons' departing figures, Su Ling felt a surge of inexplicable emotion. She knew they were about to embark on a path filled with unknowns and challenges. But she also believed they possessed the courage and wisdom to face anything. She silently prayed for their safe return.

As the days passed, Tong Jincheng and Tong Jinyu, under Jiang Yexuan's guidance, gradually adapted to life on the battlefield. They experienced countless battles and trials, gaining immense growth and experience. Their courage and wisdom were fully demonstrated on the battlefield, and they gradually became Jiang Yexuan's capable assistants.

And what about Su Ling? Although she was in the palace, her heart was always with her two sons. Every day she would send people to inquire about their whereabouts, and whenever she heard that they were safe and sound, she felt a sense of relief and peace. She knew that her sons were proving their worth and ability through their actions, and she was proud of them.

A chilly autumn wind blew, leaves fluttered down, and a faint melancholy seemed to settle over the glazed tiles of the palace. Inside Phoenix Palace, Su Ling sat before a 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. A maidservant rushed in, her face pale, seemingly carrying 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, the imperial decree has arrived. The First Prince, Tong Jincheng, and the Second Prince, Tong Jinyu, are about to set off for war."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling's heart tightened, and the jade hairpin slipped from her hand, falling to the ground with a crisp sound. She understood that this was not just a simple expedition, but a test for Tong Jincheng and Tong Jinyu. She remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "When will they depart?"

The maid bowed her head and spoke even softer: "Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will see them off outside the city gate."

Su Ling closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her turbulent emotions. 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 feelings.

As night fell, Phoenix Palace was brightly lit. Su Ling sat in her study, a book in her hand, but she couldn't turn the pages for a long time. Her heart was filled with longing and worry for her two sons. At this moment, the study door was gently pushed open, and Tong Jinyu walked in.

"Mother, are you still worried about my brother and me going to war?" Tong Jinyu's voice was filled with tenderness and concern.

Su Ling looked up at Tong Jinyu's handsome face, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She gently shook her head and smiled, "Jinyu, you're wrong. I'm not worried about your departure for the campaign, but about your safety. The battlefield is ruthless; how can I not worry?"

Tong Jinyu walked to Su Ling's side, gently took her hand, and said with a firm voice, "Mother, don't worry. My brother and I will return safely. We will definitely use our courage and wisdom to win honor for the country and the royal family."

Looking into Tong Jinyu's determined eyes, Su Ling felt a surge of relief and pride. She knew her son had grown up; he now possessed the courage and determination to face difficulties. She gently patted Tong Jinyu's hand and smiled, "Good, Mother believes in you. You must return safely so that both the Emperor and I can witness your bravery and growth."
