Chapter 420: Lighting Candle For n.o.ble Consort Su

Seeing her son leave, the Imperial n.o.ble Consort rather wanted to stop him, but ultimately just watched him quietly. What was that saying again? People sure enough become increasingly greedy the more they obtain. Turns out, she also wasnt an exception. Prior to seeing her son, it was enough to just see him and speak with him. She didnt count on her son being able to become aware of her ident.i.ty, even able to be not scared her, and moreover acknowledge her.

These things that were just like a dream, in the end, just happened like that. Then, after hearing his words, sure enough, she wanted to continue existing like this for a long time.

The small children shed seen before in the past, those were all other peoples children. Even when still back in the Pei family, towards the small children at home, at most it was just teasing, and didnt feel there was anything special about them. But, if that was her own grandson or granddaughter? With her son, she didnt have the fortune, not having been able to see his small and cute appearance, but what about the grandchildren generation?

Thinking of that soft and small body, fair and plump, growing up little by little, letting out an incomparably innocent and pure smile, just this was all able to make her heart melt.

Actually, the Imperial n.o.ble Consort still wanted to ask her son whether or not he knew that he was a ghost child. Although towards her sons birth, she wasnt aware, it was still more than enough to show that her son was indeed born after her death. And that mans att.i.tude towards him was also more than enough to prove this. Speaking of which, the ones that knew of this matter, aside from herself, most likely it was just that man and Su-s.h.i.+. As such, for Su-s.h.i.+ to have raised Yuaner, it seemingly wasnt that strange. These two people probably wont have this matter told to him. As for whether or not there were others that knew of this matter, it was hard to say. As long as they reveal clues, her son will be able to know. Ghost child, this kind of thing, she didnt mind, but in the end, it wasnt anything good. As such, she could only press it down and not mention.

Compared to the Imperial n.o.ble Consorts joy of being recognized by her son, as well as her longing towards the future, thus even if weak, she was still in a considerably good mood, Li Hong Yuan who knew even more, his heart clearly was a bit heavy. However, after seeing Jing Wans rather concerning gaze, heavy feelings and whatnot also just dissipated quite a bit. Defying the heavens and altering fate, this kind of thing, if theres a first, there will be a second. Although until Wan Wans death anniversary pa.s.ses, it cant be considered completely changing fate, but when times comes, if the heavens truly want to stand in his way, then so what if its letting thousands of people accompany in death! On his birth mothers matter, he admit, he definitely wasnt able to reach this level, but he will do everything he can.

Seeing Li Hong Yuans complexion relax, Jing Wan also relaxed a breath. Looks like it wasnt anything too difficult. -Alright, if Jing Wan knew what her own husband wanted to do, afraid she wont be this relaxed. This while, she didnt ask anything. If able to let her know, then earlier, he probably wouldnt have let her leave. And what he hid from her, its not that he was unwilling to tell her, but majority of the times, she believed it was for her sake, so how could Jing Wan betray his good intentions.

When leaving, Li Hong Yuan turned back for a glance. Separated by a layer of muslin, Shu Consort seemingly couldnt hold up any longer, falling asleep. By the time she wakes up again, it will most likely be the real Shu Consort. In one body, two different souls, the foreign one, under the circ.u.mstance of having no external force, naturally cant win over the original owner. Moreover, his birth mother also wont do this kind of thing.

However, Li Hong Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.

Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan let someone pa.s.s on a message to Gong Jiu in Kunyi Palace. On the Empress side, it just need to be good enough and can throw the rest to the imperial physicians, letting him have his focus placed on Ganlu Palace.

Gong Jiu was aware that Shu Consort Qin was someone on his own masters side. The so called close and distant relations, didnt it precisely reflect on this bit? Furthermore, Empress Sun was even their enemy. Thats why, there was no need for Li Hong Yuan to instruct. From the start, hed already seamlessly leaned towards Ganlu Palace. The excuse and what not, it was also very easy to find, so others easily wont be able to find any holes.

Le Cheng Emperor still had matters at hand, and Li Hong Yuan was also too lazy to go wait to pay respect to him, so directly left the palace. n.o.ble Consort Su who was originally waiting for him in Yucui Palace, upon hearing this, violently threw a fit. This, for her, really was exceptionally rare. However, after venting her anger, n.o.ble Consort Su also could only feel hurt and wronged, full of sadness. Yet, some things, there was nowhere to recount, especially when even his Majesty all had complaints towards her.

However, n.o.ble Consort Sus true days of misery were still waiting to come.

After leaving the palace, An Yi, have the matter of Min Xiangs fuma raising an outside mistress, even having illegitimate children, leaked to Min Xiang. Additionally, third imperial brothers rear court not having any movements in a long time, should also let her Highness n.o.ble Consort become aware. Judging from his birth mothers meaning, her relations.h.i.+p with n.o.ble Consort Su, afraid, wasnt as good as what n.o.ble Consort had said. Moreover, he had originally planned on looking for a bit of something for n.o.ble Consort Su to do. Right now, the timing was also just right, and can avoid having Su-s.h.i.+ use all her energy on him. Moreover, when unable to exert energy on him, perhaps she will just turn towards Wan Wan.

He didnt believe that because of his words, n.o.ble Consort Su will just change her att.i.tude towards Wan Wan. Perhaps it wont intensify, but it will most likely become even more hidden. After all, for some women, once stuck too deep in one direction, especially someone like n.o.ble Consort Su who had her desire for control hidden away, it was further impossible to turn back.

Jing Wan slightly opened her mouth, but afterwards, remained silent. n.o.ble Consort, you best start praying.

Min Xiang and her fuma, on the surface, were still pretty good, but in private, heh

Originally, Jing Wan felt that fifth fuma, that kind of spineless man, never mind freely allowing Princess Min Xiang to abuse him, Min Xiang not wanting to give birth to children, thus aborting the child on her own, he was also able to endure. Under the current societal backdrop of valuing children, if brought before Le Cheng Emperor, he would all be in the right. Yet, even this, he was all able to pretend as if nothing happened.

However, unexpectedly, prior to Min Xiang marrying him, hed already had two children. Under this kind of circ.u.mstance, he still dared to marry Princess Min Xiang! Thats why, when an honest person grows bold, it really was able to pierce the heavens. But, presumably, it was also because he had descendants, he thus was able to forcibly endure Princess Min Xiang aborting his child. After all, he may have suffered a loss, but his family had obtained great benefits.

However, fifth fuma raising an outside mistress prior to marrying, and even having children, this was probably the most overboard thing hes done. With just that soft personality of his, it really was being extra careful and cautious. If not for the unreconcilable conflict between him and Min Xiang, even his parents wouldnt have known that he actually had children. As such, one can gather, n.o.ble Consort Su that while had only ordered someone to randomly investigate, and the person investigating was actually also quite half-hearted. After all, in their eyes, no one had the guts to dare deceive them, and thus, this matter unexpectedly didnt get found out. And fifth fuma, after learning that he was chosen as a fuma, had this matter covered up even more tightly. It wasnt that he was daring, but precisely the opposite. Because his guts were too small, he was afraid of the consequences of angering n.o.ble Consort Su as well as Rui Qinw.a.n.g, and he also knew, if the matter of having children were to get brought out after marrying, things will only be even more serious. As such, he was even more careful.

Princess Min Xiangs temper was placed there, and fifth fumas parents also didnt want their own son to have no descendants. Thus, after learning of this matter, they naturally helped him cover up.

If Princess Min Xiang were to find out about this matter, the heavens would definitely overturn. After all, in her eyes, the person that was absolutely grasped in her palm actually dared to do this kind of thing. One can imagine, just how angered she will be, and without n.o.ble Consort Su by her side, losing her rationality and doing something irreversible, that was absolutely possible.

And by the time n.o.ble Consort Su finds out, afraid itll all be too late.

As for Li Hong Ming, that was the one that n.o.ble Consort Su truly cared about the most. Not having a grandson has always been a thorn in n.o.ble Consort Sus heart, yet now, discover that her son may no longer be able to give birth, that would definitely be able to take half her life. Someone that cant give birth and also has no son want to become emperor? Heheh, no matter how bias the one on the throne can be, he still wouldnt possibly do this kind of thing. If they still want to continue fighting for the throne, then they must have this matter concealed. And if driven in a corner, perhaps might even produce an illegitimate child to fill the numbers. Then, when times comes, exposing truth..

That image was too beautiful. Jing Wan expressed that she also didnt dare to imagine.

(T/N: Jing Wans s.a.d.i.s.tic side is showing again lol.)

Additionally, Li Hong Ming as a man that cant give birth, under the current societal background, probably was just a bit better than a eunuch. In Jing Wan eyes, that persons heart wasnt that open and bright to begin with, so in the future, afraid it will become even darker. That kind of person was actually very scary. In any case, he wont need to consider for the future anymore, thus daring to do anything.

However, Jing Wan looked to the man by her side. She actually wasnt that worried either.

If not enough, have Su Ming Zhangs matter leaked out as well. Li Hong Yuan continued.

(T/N: Refer to chapter 386 part 2; if anyones wondering how I remember, I dont, I had to skim a lot of chapters for this.)

In other words, there wasnt the most ruthless, just even more ruthless!

Jing Wan looked to the sky. Although she just saw the roof of the carriage, the result was the same. She felt that she can rest easy now.

Her daughter causing trouble, her son in despair, and the most capable person in her maiden family falling from power, this was equivalent to breaking the Su family, this pillar. Dont know how many people in the Su family will collapse along with.

With all these various matters, if n.o.ble Consort Su were to still be able to come give her trouble, then n.o.ble Consort Su practically wasnt human.

An Yi and them naturally moved exceptionally quick. By the next day, the matter had completely pa.s.sed on into Princess Min Xiangs ears. And Princess Min Xiangs movement was also even more swift than what Jing Wan had imagined, immediately taking people and directly charging to the place where fifth fuma raised his outside mistress. And as luck would have it, she just happened to catch fifth fuma on the spot as well.

Jing Wan felt it was quite boring, so this kind of gossip, she naturally just let the people below keep an eye on and report to her if something happens.

Meanwhile, Jing Wan prepared to go visit the national inn to look for the female emissaries of Cang Jin. However, after receiving news, she felt that it was best to delay her plans. In any case, the emissaries of the various countries wont be leaving anytime soon either.
