Dajin royal family

Chapter 36 The Return
The emperor said: "How can I blame you for this matter? The King of Han's rebellion is his crime. What has it to do with you. I am very happy that you can care about the people and have a compassionate heart."

"You are in danger for the country this time, and I feel very guilty. Tell me, I will give you whatever reward you want."

Jiang Chengxiao was startled for a moment, and then he hurriedly cupped his hands and refused: "For state affairs, Cheng Xiao will do my part. Your Majesty will not blame me for not completing the task. Cheng Xiao is already satisfied. As for the reward, I have never thought about it."

The emperor showed a slight smile, and then said: "The reason why you didn't complete my mission is because this time it exceeded the difficulty of the mission itself. I want to give you a reward to compensate you, so don't refuse. Tell me, if you want What?"

He was indeed very satisfied with Jiang Chengxiao's attitude, and wanted to give him some compensation. This time, no matter what, he was indeed a bait.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao thought to himself, the emperor didn't look like he was testing.

That being the case...

Jiang Chengxiao said angrily: "Your Majesty, I want to go to the front line, and I am willing to be a pawn and personally defeat the anti-king in order to avenge my house arrest."

Hearing this, the emperor laughed, and this kid was a bit angry, he wanted revenge instead of rewards.

"That won't do."

The emperor shook his head and said: "How can you go to the battlefield without the strength to restrain a chicken? This is not a reward. It is harming you. I cannot give you this reward."

"Change it."

Jiang Chengxiao was a little "discouraged", bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing his childlike appearance, the emperor felt a little funny and said, "Okay, I will allow you to go to the front line."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao showed joy, and then the emperor changed his voice: "However, this time you have to accompany another person."

……

Not long after, Jiang Chengxiao left the imperial study.

The emperor summoned his servant, "Go, find Shen Guang."

Not long after, a man wearing the armor of the Jinwu Guard came to the imperial study room and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years."

If Jiang Chengxiao was here, he would definitely see that this person was one of the Jinwu Guards who followed him to Qi County.

"Clarify everything that happened along the way, and don't miss a single thing." The emperor's expression became indifferent.

"Yes."

Shen Guang then explained clearly what happened on the way to Qi County, and what happened on the way back.Basically, it was the same as what Jiang Chengxiao told the emperor.

The emperor was silent in his heart. It seemed that Jiang Chengxiao hadn't deceived him. He had indeed escaped from death this time.

"He didn't notice you?" the emperor asked worriedly.

Shen Guang shook his head, "The prince never paid attention to me, he only wanted to complete the task. Although it was absurd to get away when he was in Qi County, it was also a helpless thing."

The emperor nodded and let Shen Guang go down.

On the other side, Jiang Chengxiao left the palace, looked back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Daiwangfu.

Dai Wangfei Zheng was lying on the couch, looking haggard and faintly sick. These days, she has a small illness every three days, and a serious illness every five days.

"Princess, the prince is back!" A servant woman rushed over and shouted back outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps, Jiang Chengxiao walked into the room, and saw Princess Zheng lying on the couch.

Seeing Jiang Chengxiao's appearance, Mrs. Zheng's pale cheeks suddenly flushed, "Back... back."

She wanted to get up, but she was too weak to get up, so she could only struggle to get up.Jiang Chengxiao quickly walked to her side and knelt down, "I made my mother worry, I'm back."

Looking at Zheng's weak appearance, he said in relief, "It's all right, I'm back."

Zheng Shi reached out to touch his cheek, with tears in his eyes, "I'm so thin, I'm really worried for my mother, my son."

As she spoke, she began to cry in a low voice.

Jiang Chengxiao was silent in his heart, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard Uncle Mai talk about Zheng's situation.After the news of Han Wang's rebellion spread to Chang'an, Mrs. Zheng ate fast and prayed for him every day. She washed her face with tears all day long, and her body became more and more haggard day by day. Recently, she was unable to get out of bed and walk.

He never thought that this "biological mother" would care for him so much, even though his attitude had not been very good before.

Perhaps, his heart is really too hard.

The Zheng family really regarded him as his own son, which Jiang Chengxiao couldn't understand the importance the ancients attached to their offspring.

"The son is back. The princess said last time that she would trade her life for her life, so that the son can come back safely." The servant woman who was waiting next to her said.

"Talk!" The concubine glared at the maid, then looked at Jiang Chengxiao and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, my son, I'm so happy for you to come back safely."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled faintly, sat on the couch, supported Mrs. Zheng in his arms, "Aniang, I'm fine."

Leaning on Jiang Chengxiao's shoulder, Zheng's heart was suddenly touched, and tears flowed down again.

"Don't cry, Ma'am, it will hurt your health."

While picking up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, Jiang Chengxiao took the soup from the maid and fed it to her himself.

Zheng Shi drank it sip by sip, and occasionally asked herself in her heart, is this a dream?

Jiang Chengxiao fed Zheng Shi some soup, then helped her lean on the cushion, and told her what he had encountered along the way.

"Fortunately, my son is fine, and I will fulfill my wish for my mother to worship Buddha in the future." Zheng's eyes stayed on Jiang Chengxiao, and he couldn't leave him for a moment.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly, "Although I am in danger this time, it can be regarded as taking risks for the country, which is nothing."

Zheng said: "Your father is already loyal to the country, you shouldn't be in danger, and next time I will never let you go out for my mother."

Seeing Zheng's protective face, Jiang Chengxiao said: "Okay, I will listen to Auntie from now on."

This "A Niang" made Zheng wait for more than ten years, and she finally got what she wanted, and she was in a great mood.

Mrs. Zheng suddenly remembered something, "My son has time, so I should go to Shunguo Duke's Mansion."

"Why?"

"When you died, the third lady of Yuchi's family came to pay my respects every day." Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "Mother helped you to see the third lady, she is not vulgar, she is a great beauty."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao coughed twice, "What are you doing, Auntie?"

Seeing that he was at a loss, Zheng said: "My son will be a man after the coronation ceremony, he should start a family, and then give my mother a good grandson, how can I be shy."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled wryly and nodded, "Listen to Aunt."

Mrs. Zheng felt that today was the happiest day she had married into the Dai Palace for decades. This son finally called her mother and was finally willing to get close to her.

At this time, the little Princess Leping heard that Jiang Chengxiao was back, and hurried all the way into Zheng's room. When she saw Jiang Chengxiao, she immediately threw herself into his arms, crying.

Jiang Chengxiao patted her little head, and said in a harmonious voice: "Brother is fine, brother is fine."

Mrs. Zheng looked at this scene with satisfaction, and then said: "Le Ping, get up, how can you lie in your brother's arms, it's not proper etiquette."

Le Ping got up slowly, looked at Jiang Chengxiao, and said, "Brother is finally back, Aunt misses brother and is sick, and Le Ping is really worried about brother."
