Chapter 787 Epilogue, Xiao Ling's World (Twenty-Five)After being released from prison, Mrs. Qi wanted to talk to Qi Jiejing alone, but Qi Jiejing did not give her this opportunity. Fortunately, she had the memory of her previous life with her. Otherwise, anyone who lived under such bias since childhood would either become psychologically dark and harm others, or become cowardly and inferior and constantly consume themselves. No matter which path they take, the harm they suffer would not be small.
What's more, it's only her. Otherwise, who would have a selfish brother like Si Hengnian? How could anyone have a good ending?
So there is no point in apologizing. It just makes the mother in this life feel better. Ultimately, it is for her own sake.
Fortunately, everything is almost over. Feng Shao's misfortune in this life should be on Si Hengnian and Xu Huixin. Si Hengnian has the ability, but unfortunately he is too arrogant. Even if they are not there, with his stepmother around, the ending is obvious.
The tragedy that the court officials were worried about, that the eldest prince and the second prince would fight for the throne, would not happen. Perhaps the fifth prince would succeed to the throne in the end, but the fifth prince was just a young child now. He needed to be educated carefully. Although he could not be a wise ruler, at least he could not touch these people.
Song Lingling found it funny when she thought about what the Fourth Princess said, that Concubine Xian became much more obedient after Si Hengnian escaped from the capital.
"After all, they are not my own children. Concubine Xian claimed to be ill and said she was unable to raise them. Now the fifth child has been sent back to the prince's residence. It's pitiful. The child is only two or three years old and is worried all day long." The third princess Song Xinghe felt a little sorry. "I went to see him yesterday. He held me tightly and refused to let go. I realized that those maids were irresponsible."
"How did you deal with it in the end?"
"Of course, I sent someone to inform Concubine Chen. Now that Concubine Chen is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, she is the only one who is most qualified to manage it. However, it is not a good idea for Old Five to have no one to teach him."
"So you brought it to the general's mansion?" Song Lingling looked at the child peeking out of the door and waved helplessly.
"I brought this child out of the palace only after Concubine Chen agreed. If this child is not corrected, his character will be spoiled."
Song Xia picked up a piece of cake to tease the child, and then thought of his previous life. Although the fifth prince succeeded to the throne in his previous life, all power was in the hands of Si Hengnian. He was more of a puppet than an emperor. He could not even command the eunuchs and guards in the palace, and lived in fear all his life.
The fifth prince saw her smiling gently, and ran in with a sweet smile on his face: "Thank you, madam."
Song Xia touched his face and said, "You are so good. You are a prince, and your two sisters are here too, so you don't have to feel restrained when you come to the general's mansion."
"Ah."
Seeing that he could make Song Xia happy, the third and fourth princesses had a better impression of him. After all, it was unlikely that the two royal brothers would succeed to the throne, so in order to have a more comfortable life in the future, it would be better to train this little royal brother well!
"Since you like this place, I will try to bring you here when I leave the palace in the future."
The fifth prince's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"
"Father has been obsessed with alchemy recently, and the harem is entirely under the control of Mother Chen. Mother Chen is a gentle person, so there is no need to worry."
In fact, Concubine Chen was not as peaceful as she is now. It was because she could not bear the eldest prince she gave birth to that she gradually became so Buddhist. Not only her, but also Concubine Shu, who gave birth to the second prince and the third princess, and Concubine De, who gave birth to the fourth princess, have gradually become quiet in recent years and become indifferent to the world. Otherwise, how could Concubine Xian come to the fore? Even if she is so favored, does it not affect the status of the other three concubines?
"Thank you, Imperial Sister." Even though he was only two or three years old, the Fifth Prince could already read people's faces, which showed how difficult his daily life was.
After deciding to raise a child, the third and fourth princesses thought about finding a teacher for Little Five. In fact, they could teach him themselves, and much of their knowledge was unknown to people in this world.
But firstly, they are lazy, secondly, no matter how much they know, they don't know the art of being an emperor, and thirdly, their knowledge cannot be used casually to influence the course of the world, so it is better to ask the ministers of the court to teach them, they need to be more professional. The fifth prince, who was favored by the two princesses, was treated better all of a sudden, and often went to the palaces of the other three concubines to pay respects, which made Concubine Xian angry.
But who made her give up the fifth prince first? And now His Majesty is focused on seeking immortality and rarely comes to her palace, so even if she wants to regret it, she can't.
Such frequent mischief finally made Concubine Chen unable to bear it anymore and punished her by confining her to her house. In addition, the other two concubines secretly targeted her. After suffering several losses, Concubine Xian had to behave herself.
The harem was calm and peaceful, but at the border, there was panic at this time. Even the most ordinary soldiers smelled something unusual.
The eldest prince's eyes flashed coldly: "He really did contact Jingguo. For the sake of power, he even sold out the lives of the people and soldiers at the border. Is such a person worthy of so many supporters?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. He was really fierce in those ten years of fighting, so it's understandable that the soldiers obeyed him."
"But he is now using the lives of tens of thousands of people to achieve his ambitions!"
"Fortunately, all his actions are under our control."
Si Hengnian and his troops were stationed in a desolate mountain area. Judging from the thousands of weapons buried in the mountain, he had planned to do so a long time ago.
"Originally it was just the last escape route, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon." Si Hengnian looked at the weapon with his ambition rising wildly, "Since you want to get rid of it, don't blame me for being rude!"
The followers all said in unison: "We will follow our master till death!"
"Well, since your majesty is unfair, I will lead you to attack the capital from now on."
Xu Huixin stroked her belly and looked at him worriedly. Although there were servants and doctors waiting for her, she still did not feel comfortable after traveling such a long distance, and her face looked ugly and pale.
Si Hengnian frowned: "Didn't I tell you to rest? Why did you come here?"
"I'm just a little worried. Is that really the only way to go?"
"Did His Majesty give me another choice? Hui Xin, now that things have come to this, please stop saying discouraging words."
Xu Huixin hesitated a few times, but finally swallowed her words. She still hadn't decided whether to cooperate with Mrs. Song and others for the sake of the baby in her belly.
Si Hengnian seemed to see through everything. When he went to bed that night, he was not on guard at all. He placed the list of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border who had surrendered to him on his desk, and a secret letter with instructions on when to take action, with one corner of it opened.
Xu Huixin was feeling uncomfortable during her pregnancy and had something on her mind, so she couldn't sleep well. When she woke up and saw these things, her heart started pounding.
Finally, she couldn't help but unfold it, and didn't notice Si Hengnian behind her opened his eyes in disappointment.
What's more, it's only her. Otherwise, who would have a selfish brother like Si Hengnian? How could anyone have a good ending?
