Chapter 142 The Weak Wife of a Servant Is a Heartthrob 6
The eldest princess walked into the hall holding a dragon-headed cane, bowed slightly, and saluted to Gu Linfei.
This was the courtesy given to him by the late emperor. He didn't have to kneel to anyone. It was also a reminder to Gu Linfei that as long as the royal family members were still alive, it was impossible for them to watch him do something that would disrupt the government and harm the country.
"Why is my aunt here?"
Gu Linfei let go of his hand. After all, people’s words were scary. He was not afraid, but he was afraid that his wife would mind.
He took a look at Yunzhi's huddled appearance, and finally gave up the idea of catching her in his arms, trying his best to maintain the emperor's dignity.
"If I hadn't come, what would you have done today?"
The eldest princess gave him a cold look, feeling unhappy.
When Gu Linfei was young, the late emperor honored her as the Regent Princess.
Even though the young eagle has grown up now and no longer needs a huge mountain pressing down on his head, all the power in the court has been handed over to Gu Linfei, but those forces that are still loyal to her cannot be underestimated.
This is also the reason why Gu Linfei treated him with such courtesy.
"I heard that the emperor had something to do with General Zhenbei, so I came to see him. Now that A Jing is not here, I naturally have to take care of his wife."
The princess patted Yunzhi's hand to let her know, and stood in front of her. "But as soon as I entered the room, I heard people shouting and guards wanted to arrest someone. Why is that?"
"If Ah Jin comes back, he will think that we treated his wife harshly."
"I'm afraid Jing won't come back."
"What do you mean?"
"General Zhenzheng has died on the battlefield," Gu Linfei pretended to be sorry.
As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess's face turned pale instantly. The maids and servants beside her hurried to support her.
"Princess, I'm sorry."
The eldest princess pressed her brows. She had a very good relationship with Wen Jing's mother. His father also died in the war. His mother had a strong personality and killed herself by hitting her head against the wall.
It was a good thing that the two of them left, leaving behind only the five-year-old Wen Jing, and she could only help take care of him.
Originally, I was just taking care of little Wen Jing as a responsibility.
Unexpectedly, little Wen Jing has a pure heart. Even though his father died in the war, he did not hold a grudge. Instead, he vowed to conquer Mobei and avenge his father.
After all, she had raised him for so many years, and gradually developed feelings for him. Moreover, she had divorced her husband in her early years, and she had no children, so she treated him as a mother and son.
I didn't expect that he would end up like his father. If I had known he would be so, I would never have let him go to Mobei.
The eldest princess was overwhelmed with emotions, and even her spirit and energy were weakened. It is conceivable how much of a blow this incident was to her.
"If that's the case, then..." She suppressed her sadness and pointed at Yunzhi casually, "Then let his wife take care of the funeral affairs."
She was about to walk out with Yunzhi when Gu Linfei spoke up.
"Wait, my wife is now a thorn in Mobei's side. Someone even offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold for her life."
“Why don’t you come with me to the palace and look after the ladies more.
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intention.
If you go to his territory, can you come out safe and sound?
The emperor now holds great power and has become more and more arbitrary. Sometimes she cannot persuade him.
But for Wen Jing, even if it is impossible to persuade him, he has to be persuaded.
"There are too many people in the palace, and the harem is empty. Putting Zhizhi in there will only increase gossip."
"The Princess's Mansion should be more vigilant during this period."
