Chapter 550 - 529: One More Update
Zheng Congyuan stepped forward, and with this step, the previously enraged face of Empress Dowager Yan Ping suddenly turned ashen. She suddenly understood what Zheng Congyuan was about to do. The Zheng Congyuan, whom she had always seen as the future hope of Nanzheng State and who had sacrificed so much for Nanzheng State, wearing himself out in the process, had he been nurtured only to this end?
Nurtured with nothing but a sense of public duty, everything for Nanzheng State, for its future. He would not watch Nanzheng State perish, so he was willing to sacrifice himself.
It seemed everyone realized Zheng Congyuan’s thoughts. This Crown Prince, who had exhausted himself for Nanzheng State, met such a fate. Everyone felt it was unjust of the heavens.
How unjust the heavens are!
Empress Dowager Yan Ping grabbed Zheng Congyuan’s arm, shook her head slightly, the words of the Marquis of Zhenbei and Old Master Wen Kang were not to be trusted, absolutely not to be trusted. Once you fall into their hands, there are hundreds of ways to die, and definitely not one would involve their own hands.
Zheng Congyuan patted Empress Dowager Yan Ping’s arm, smiled faintly with a calm and detached air, as if he had seen through it all.
"Imperial Grandmother, your grandson has always been selfless for Nanzheng State. If he survives this great disaster, your son has one personal request, hoping the Imperial Grandmother can fulfill it," Zheng Congyuan spoke.
Caught up in her own emotions, Empress Dowager Yan Ping did not understand at first, staring blankly at Zheng Congyuan. How can he survive this calamity? She knew well the nature of the Wen Family.
"Imperial Grandmother—" Zheng Congyuan suddenly softened his voice, and Empress Dowager Yan Ping seemed instantly brought back to when he was a child, softly calling her Imperial Grandmother while nestled at her knees.
