Chapter 123 "I want him to divide Lu Mingchao's military power, but I don't want him
Shen Tingyu knew that the two of them were very much in love.
But since it concerns the survival of Qi State, he... has to make a choice!
"How's the injury?"
Shen Tingyu pretended to greet Jiang Ci'an, trying to lower his defenses and get closer to him.
Jiang Ci'an didn't buy it.
He withdrew his gaze from Shen Changle, who was sitting far away at the table, and said lightly:
"Your Majesty, just speak frankly."
Shen Tingyu was choked by the retort.
Rub your fingers gently behind your back.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around, lifted his robe and sat down.
"Then I'll be frank. The armies of Anyue and the other states are approaching, and the army is in need of men. Are you willing to don armor and fight?"
Jiang Ci'an's heart skipped a beat.
As smart as he was, he immediately guessed what Shen Tingyu meant -
He undoubtedly wanted to use his identity as the only descendant of the Anguo royal family to contain Anguo!
But is this... reasonable?
Not to mention what to do when meeting Liang Yi, the chief general of Yue State, just talking about the matter of fighting against An State...
What if General Anguo is that person...
Do you want him to go against his own father?
He frowned and lowered his head deeply.
Seeing him struggling, Shen Tingyu threw out the bait:
"As long as you fight and defeat the enemy and achieve military merit, Qi will recognize you as a prince consort and allow you to legitimately become the father of Changle's child."
Oh, Prince Consort...
Jiang Ci'an sneered silently.
I thought to myself, if his identity is exposed, can he still be the prince consort of Qi?
An Guo will definitely come looking for him!
At that time...
Will Changle still want him?
Would you be willing to go back to Anguo with him?
I'm just afraid...
Things are going to get worse...
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Shen Changle breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s best if he doesn’t want to go into battle!
Even if he doesn't want to, the emperor's uncle can't force him to go!
She turned around at the table, looked at him sitting on the bedside, and said softly:
"Ci'an, just say whatever you're thinking!"
Seeing that his resolute profile was tense, he never raised his head.
Shen Changle stood up, walked to the bedside, and guided him softly:
"I know you once served in Yue Guo's army. If you don't want to fight against your old friends, we understand. It's okay..."
Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an's eyes twitched.
Although he didn't say it, he knew in his heart...
Changle has always wanted him to replace Lu Mingchao.
She had hinted at it many times, and he understood it all!
He just didn't know how to respond...
This time, he couldn't escape...
Slowly raising his eyes, he looked into her eyes.
So clear, bright and clean.
Only his figure was reflected...
So why isn't he?
In his world, from beginning to end, there was only her!
Thinking of this...
He suddenly figured it out!
Changle has done so much for him, how could he retreat?
I finally have the opportunity to stand beside her openly!
As long as you go to the battlefield...
Just help her protect her country!
As for Anguo...
That's right.
Anguo is indeed his hometown, and Jiang Wen is indeed his father!
But…Anguo has been expelling him;
Jiang Wen never raised him for a single day!
He never committed treason!
An Guo owes him!
He doesn't owe anyone anything except... Changle.
He raised his hand and took her hand, looking into her eyes and whispered:
"I listen to Changle."
what?
How did he...
Shen Tingyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him say that, but he saw...
Shen Changle's face changed and he suddenly shook off Jiang Ci'an's hand.
"What are you talking about? Ci'an, war is no joke. There are no mercy on the battlefield. You can't go!"
"Changle..."
Jiang Ci'an didn't expect...
His Changle actually loves him so much!
He originally thought that his Changle would definitely choose family, country and the world, and would put the overall situation first...
But she was worried about him!
She didn't want him to go to the battlefield!
His Changle really loves him...
But unlike him, Shen Tingyu was very unhappy and scolded in a deep voice:
"Changle! State affairs are more important, don't act willfully!"
capricious……
How can she be considered willful if she doesn't want her husband to go to the battlefield?
Shen Changle didn't understand, tears welled up in her eyes and her heart ached.
Turning back to refute:
"But why does he have to go? Will Qi be defeated without him? Don't you still have Lu Mingchao?"
She didn't know Jiang Ci'an's identity, she only knew that she didn't want him to be in danger!
Seeing her like this, Shen Tingyu felt a little distressed.
but……
"Changle, I said last night that the assassination of Yuanyang was the work of Lu Mingchao. He is unreliable!"
"Changle..."
Jiang Ci'an felt very uncomfortable when he saw her crying.
I gently held her hand, wanting to hug her and comfort her, but she pulled away.
Seeing her stubborn temper, Shen Tingyu tried to persuade her earnestly:
"Changle, we have discussed this before. If his family background is clean, we will send him into the army for training.
This would not only erase his bandit history, but also divide Lu Mingchao's prestige and military power.
Now that we are at war, wouldn't it be more legitimate for him to come back and marry you after he has made military achievements?"
Shen Changle frowned.
Bluntly speaking:
"I want him to divide Lu Mingchao's military power, but I don't want him to die!"
Jiang Ci'an has never trained soldiers in the military camp. If he surrenders today, who will obey him?
How can I go to the battlefield without any trusted subordinates?
To put it bluntly...
If he were to be harmed by Lu Mingchao on the battlefield, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be anyone to collect his body...
Thinking of this, tears suddenly fell.
She turned around firmly and said in a resolute tone:
"No matter what, I won't let him go to the battlefield!"
Shen Tingyu felt a little helpless.
Before, I was only thinking about how to hold Jiang Ci'an hostage, but I didn't expect that the problem would arise with Changle!
I can only harden my heart and pretend to be strict.
"In that case, your marriage will have to be called off! Your child..."
"There are no children! There are no children!"
Shen Changle subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.
She couldn't let this child... become a bargaining chip to threaten his father!
He turned around, shaking his handkerchief.
At this time, she didn't care whether Shen Tingyu would be angry or not.
Said angrily:
"I'm not pregnant at all. He never touched me from the beginning, not at Wohu Mountain, not in the palace!"
"What did you say?"
His brows became more and more depressed, and he grabbed Shen Changle's wrist.
He pulled her around to face him.
"Shen Changle! Say what you just said again!"
Shen Tingyu is really angry this time!
If she had not been sent to Yuanyang, how could Qi have reached this point?
"Shen Tingyu, let her go! What are you doing?"
Jiang Ci'an thought he was going to hit her and jumped up from the bed in fright.
Shen Tingyu glared at him fiercely.
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here!"
Then he glared at Shen Changle and rebuked him in a deep voice:
"Your brother really spoiled you! If you hadn't sneaked out of the palace and gotten into trouble, why would I have sent you all the way to Yuanyang?
How could your royal brother leave the capital? How could the two nations of Anyue invade? Now you tell me that all this is fake?
You are willful and rebellious, disobey your elders, and disregard the people of the world. Is this what I taught you?"
