Chapter 1983: Finale
As a witness to the relationship between Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, he was very clear about the serious consequences if Lin Yuelan was really caught by Xiao Jingrui.
That was to use Lin Yuelan as a hostage to threaten Jiang Zhennan in order to achieve the goal of invading the Longyan Kingdom.
Then, the Emperor said,” Fortunately, when they were trying to capture the girl, they were seen through by the girl and quickly escaped from the Black Clouds Kingdom!”
This was a risky move, but fortunately, both of them dodged it.
Hearing the Emperor’s words, the Crown Prince heaved a sigh of relief. He asked doubtfully,” Father, how many people know that the Great General disguised himself as Captain Wu and accompanied the Princess to the Black Clouds Kingdom?”
The Emperor frowned.” Other than the three of us, the girl and her husband, there’s only Eunuch Zhang.”
The Crown Prince was puzzled.” Then, Father, how did the news of the Great General accompanying the Princess to the Black Clouds Kingdom and the fact that the Great General in the military camp was fake leak out?”
The Emperor’s gaze turned sharp as he asked,” Crown Prince, what exactly are you suspecting?” Was he suspecting that someone among them had leaked the news?
This was simply impossible.
Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang treated Lin Yuelan as their own granddaughter, so how could they possibly do anything to hurt her? Also, Eunuch Zhang had been following him all these years, serving him loyally, so there was no reason for him to leak the news.
The Emperor’s sharp eyes instantly stared at the Crown Prince and said,” Crown Prince, they will definitely not leak the news.”
When the Crown Prince heard this, his heart tightened, and his expression stiffened. He shook his head and said,” Father, I’m not suspecting anyone. Instead,” the Crown Prince bit his lip and said, “I’m thinking if the Great General exposed his identity midway.”
The Emperor’s pupils constricted, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He then nodded and said,” Perhaps what you said makes some sense. I’m afraid that something happened to them, and their identities were exposed. This news has spread to the military camp.”
Hearing the Emperor’s words, the Crown Prince heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he frowned and asked,” Father, what should we do now? The identity of the Great General in the military camp shouldn’t be hidden for long. If his fake identity is found out by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
The Emperor thought for a moment and then asked,” Then, Crown Prince, what do you think?”
The Crown Prince immediately kowtowed and pleaded,” Father, please allow your son to go to the border military camp!”
Hearing the Crown Prince’s request, the Emperor covered the official documents on the table with one hand and tapped the table with the other as if he were thinking.
A moment later, he said,” Fine. I order you to be the vanguard marshal and lead a hundred thousand troops to the border to join the Jiang family’s army. Before the Defender General, Jiang Zhennan, returns to the camp, you will be in command.”
The crown prince’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately said solemnly,” Your son will obey! Your son will not fail his mission!”
The Emperor took out a token from a box and said,” This is the Tiger Seal Order Faction that commands 100,000 troops!”
The Crown Prince took it from the Emperor and said,” Thank you, Imperial Father!”
The Emperor waved his hand and said,” Then go and prepare. We’ll set off immediately!”
The Crown Prince replied,” Yes!”
After the Crown Prince left, the Emperor looked at the Crown Prince’s back with a frown. A moment later, he sighed and said,” Crown Prince, I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
The Crown Prince held the Tiger Tally Token in his hand, unable to conceal the joy on his face.
With this token, he would have 100,000 soldiers.
With military power, he would have the right to speak in the army.
But then, he felt a little dissatisfied.
The Emperor allowed him to command these hundreds of thousands of soldiers before Jiang Zhennan returned, but once Jiang Zhennan returned, he had to hand over the command.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince felt a wave of frustration.
However, he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.
The news that the Crown Prince had been conferred the title of General and had led a hundred thousand soldiers to the border to fight and kill the enemy spread throughout the capital in a short while.
When the Crown Prince rode out of the capital in his military uniform, the people of the capital ran out to watch.
At some point, someone suddenly shouted,” The Crown Prince is mighty! The Crown Prince is wise, and his prestige is unprecedentedly high.”
When the Empress learned that the Crown Prince was going to lead the army to war, she had a big fight with the Emperor.
She only had one son, but her husband had sent him to the battlefield. What if something happened?
