The Yuan Family took everything that rightfully belonged to the Wei Family, using them as tools and weapons, draining them of every ounce of blood and bone, making their lives worse than death, gradually withering away. After so many years, Wei Liuyu can finally make them pay the price.
This is what she has lived for all her life.
"This child is nad Qian. When I see him, I will rember Lu Jian. In the future, the people of the world will always rember Lu Jian." Wei Liuyu stood up, walked to Wei Junzhuo, and together they looked at the baby in the cradle.
"The one who killed Lu Jian was Rong Heng. He and I will et again one day." Wei Junzhuo closed his eyes and sat down on the steps.
Rong Heng is a difficult opponent, stirring a long-lost fighting spirit within Wei Junzhuo.
"The Emperor of Yan intends to turn Rong Heng into another Rong Shuo, but with Gu Lan by his side... he’s an unpredictable variable."
The face of the young man appeared in his mind, and he couldn’t help but purse his lips.
Wei Liuyu smiled and said:
"The Martial Virtue Bureau has sent news that this Young Master was once deeply in love with Princess Ning’an of Dayan. It was for her that Princess Ning’an entered court service. With Yan’s great victory this ti, perhaps this matter can co to fruition. Furthermore, Gu Lan has even made Prince Rui’s daughter Rong Baoyi her personal trusted aide... Junzhuo, do you really think she would forsake the Princess and County Princess to beco a homosexual with Rong Heng? That’s just baseless gossip from the marketplace."
Wei Junzhuo frowned, looking deeply at Wei Liuyu, and said seriously:
"I don’t know, but Princess Ning’an and County Princess Changle are not ordinary won... Sister, when the child reaches one month, let Yuan Zhen die, and you need not call yourself ’I’ anymore; you will be the Empress Dowager of Great Wei."
Wei Liuyu responded with an "Hmm," showing no discomfort with his words.
Even though Yuan Zhen is now in Lin’an, protected by that Crown Prince Yuan Lang, with just one order from her, the people hidden around Yuan Zhen would ensure he ets a quiet and reasonable... end.
When the ti cos, she and Wei Junzhuo will assist this child nad Yuan Qian in ascending the throne. As for Prince Lin’an, Yuan Lang, he will beco the deposed Crown Prince, even a traitor.
Wei Liuyu looked deeply at the maps of various countries hanging behind Hanzhang Palace, the place where successive Wei Emperors handled court affairs, now her seat of command for issuing orders.
"This is... what Sister has grown accustod to. We have endured so much hardship for so many years, and now our great revenge is fulfilled, and the major events will be accomplished. From now on, sister is just your sister, a descendant of Great Wei’s Imperial Family, no longer the Princess Consort Jin of the Yuan Family."
Wei Junzhuo nodded, pursing his lips into a smile, the coldness on his face dissipating.
His smile was shy and gentle, appearing almost foolish.
Wei Liuyu raised her hand, gently caressing Wei Junzhuo’s handso and resolute face. Sitting by his side, her tone was suprely gentle:
"Junzhuo, if you’re tired, take a nap. Sister is here."
"As long as Sister can beco an Empress Dowager who listens behind the screen, I won’t be tired."
Wei Junzhuo lowered his head wearily, obediently closed his eyes, and lay on Wei Liuyu’s lap, his voice gentle as water.
The world-fearing thief of the nation, in front of his sister, seed like a wounded little beast.
Wei Liuyu patted Wei Junzhuo’s shoulder one stroke at a ti, just as she had coaxed her two younger brothers tornted by dication to sleep, gentle and careful.
At this mont, Wei Junzhuo, lying on her lap, slowly opened his mouth:
"Sister, I found Yuan."
Wei Liuyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, her soft hand hovering in mid-air, not falling for a long ti.
Wei Junzhuo recalled the news he had received—a young man with golden eyes, sowhat resembling himself, appeared under Gu Lan’s command, backed by Gu Lan’s words to him—
His smile curved at the corners of his lips as he said, "Yuan is still alive, and should be doing well."
After a long ti, Wei Liuyu ca back to her senses, her voice slightly choked:
"That’s good. Among the three of us, at least one should have the freedom to live out their life."
...
Yan Capital.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Rong Jing seed to hear the joyful cheers of the people in the Capital City.
Even though he deeply feared the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and disliked Gu Lan, upon receiving the great victory news from Yinzhou, a trace of joy still involuntarily appeared on his face.
Rong Jing finished reading the report from Duoji in the Northern Territory, a dark gleam flashed in his eyes, then he smiled gently:
"Zhang Fengcai, read it to them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Fengcai swiftly took the battle report and began reading it with great flair and emotion.
At this mont, the people of the Capital City were still imrsed in the joy of Prince Xiang and Pingnan General repelling Wei’s 100,000 troops, pursuing the remnants for a hundred li, reclaiming several border towns. Today, a great victory also cos from the Northern Territory, a double blessing.
