Chapter 236: Meeting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He did not expect Mo Yuan to be so quick-witted. Could the water that that kid boiled be suitable for Young Madam to drink? Who knew if he would drug her?

Ah Xun looked at Rooster’s actions and gritted his teeth angrily.

“By the way, do you know who those people were just now?” Shen Yijia did not notice the mood of the other three people. She suddenly looked up and asked.

When they fought just now, she realized that these people’s moves were a little strange.

At this point, Rooster glanced at Ah Xun and spat out three words. “They were Huns.”

Shen Yijia followed his gaze and saw that Ah Xun looked conflicted. She did not ask further.

In Xunyang City, the streets were in a mess. Broken walls could be seen everywhere.

Because of the rain, the injured were squeezed under the eaves that could barely shelter them from the rain.

Although the Hun army simply surrounded them, they would harass them from time to time every few days. They would use the catapults to throw stones into the city before retreating, making people hate them to the core.

At Lord An Le’s residence.

Pots of blood were carried out of the master bedroom. A few armored men were waiting anxiously outside the door.

The door opened again. An old man with a white beard walked out first, followed by a man dressed as a butler.

A few people swarmed up and surrounded him.

“Doctor Fang, how’s the prince?”

Doctor Fang stroked his beard and said, “He’s fine. He just lost too much blood and needs to rest. It’s not appropriate to be disturbed for the time being. Generals, why don’t you go back first?”

Doctor Fang was brought over from the capital by Shangguan Han and had always been by his side. Everyone was willing to listen to him.

Hearing his words, no one dared to make a fuss about entering. They all instructed him to take good care of the prince and left.

After they left, Uncle Yang, who was dressed like a strategist, walked out from the side. The man looked at him and nodded.

Uncle Yang immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If something happened to Lord An Le, he really didn’t know how to explain it to Eldest Young Master.

Speaking of which, King An’s injury was purely an accident.

Today, he returned to the residence after visiting the injured soldiers in the city. He did not want a house by the road to suddenly collapse.

However, there was a child standing below. He rushed up to save her, but before he could dodge, a piece of rubble hit his head.

Uncle Yang wanted to ask something, but the man whispered in his ear. His pupils instantly dilated as he looked at the closed door in disbelief.

In the room, a young man lay on a couch with a pale face. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his facial features looked young. He looked slightly childish.

At this moment, he was staring unblinkingly at the man in black who had suddenly appeared in the room.

After looking at it for a while, he closed his eyes and opened them again. It took him a few times to confirm that he wasn’t hallucinating.

The pressure he had endured for more than a year surged into his heart like a tide. His eyes slowly turned red. “Cousin…”

Song Jingchen didn’t have the sadness of a brother reuniting after a long time. His face darkened and he reprimanded in a low voice, “How can you cry like this?”

Shangguan Han was three years younger than Song Jingchen, born a month later than the fourth prince, Shangguan Yao. He was ranked fifth among the princes and had just turned fifteen this year.

He was made the crown prince when he was born. Not only was his mother the empress, but he also had the powerful Bulwark Duke’s residence as his support.

As soon as he was born, he had something that others could not obtain in their entire lives. He did not need to work hard to get what he wanted.

He always saw the ‘bright’ side, so he developed a naive personality.

After the incident, Song Jingchen asked Uncle Yang to pay attention to Shangguan Han’s situation at all times. Apart from ensuring that his life was safe, Uncle Yang was not allowed to interfere in anything else.

He hoped that after this incident, Shangguan Han would be able to understand that the bright side he had always seen only came about because his close relatives had blocked the dark side from him.

After all, the price he had to pay was too great.

It was true that the dragon robe and letter were planted by others to frame him, but if he had taken more precautions and been more careful, he would not have given others a chance to take advantage of him.

Shangguan Han quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve. His excitement dissipated, and he forced a smile. “Cousin, why are you here?”

Thinking of something, his gaze landed on Song Jingchen’s legs and he said in surprise, “Cousin, your legs…”

Before leaving the capital, he had learned about the situation of his maternal family from others. Unfortunately, his aunt’s family had left the capital before him.

Actually, he understood that even if they hadn’t left the capital yet, he couldn’t have done anything. He couldn’t even save himself, so what could he do to help them?

When Song Jingchen was asked about his legs, his eyes softened for a moment, but in the next moment, he put on a cold expression and said concisely, “I was lucky to meet an expert and recovered.”

Seeing that he was so excited that he wanted to cry but didn’t dare to, Song Jingchen sighed and asked with dry concern, “How are your injuries?”

“I’m fine. I just got hit. I’ll be fine after resting for two days.” Shangguan Han didn’t expect his cousin to care about him. He grinned.

As he laughed, she suddenly covered her eyes and cried. “Cousin, why wasn’t I the one who died?

“If I died, would my grandfather and uncle still be fine? My mother would not have been forced to stay in the cold palace either.”

“Aren’t I his son? Why is he so heartless? If he’s not satisfied with me as the crown prince, I can give up the position.”

“Even if you demote me to a commoner, as long as my grandfather, uncle, and mother are fine…” he choked while speaking.

After the incident, he couldn’t believe anyone around him. He couldn’t vent the pain in his heart.

He had been suppressing these emotions until he saw his family.

Sadness flashed across Song Jingchen’s eyes, but he quickly covered it up. However, this time, he didn’t reprimand Shangguan Han like before.

When he was done crying, he said, “Leave Xunyang’s matter to me. Rest well in your room for the next few days.”

With that, he turned around and left. When he reached the door, Shangguan Han’s firm voice suddenly sounded behind him. “Cousin, I will definitely avenge my grandfather and uncle, no matter who that person is.”

Song Jingchen paused. He didn’t turn around or reply.

In the guest room of the residence.

Uncle Yang paced back and forth in the house. How could he not be excited that the Eldest Young Master had come personally?

Ever since he sent a letter, he did not dare to keep sending letters if there wasn’t any response from Song Jingchen.

This was because it was impossible for the Eldest Young Master not to give any instructions about Lord An Le.

In order to prevent the private army from being exposed, he would not send a message unless something major happened.

The eldest young master knew this, so there were only two possibilities for not replying. The first was that the letter had been stopped, and the second was that something had happened to the eldest young master.

There should not have been a second letter of either kind.

Someone jumped into the room through his half-open window. Uncle Yang’s thoughts were pulled back. When he saw who it was, he quickly closed the window and locked it.

He walked up to the person and knelt down.
