Chapter 352 Chen Shengda fainted at the gate of the palace!
The person who was most happy about Chen Wentong's return alive was his father Chen Shengda. He was sitting at home and suddenly learned that his eldest son had returned. He was so happy that he was at a loss what to do.
After it snowed in the capital, the weather became cold and Chen Shengda's leg disease recurred. As he had broken his leg before, he suffered from a cold. Whenever it snowed, rained or was bad weather, his leg would be in unbearable pain.
After the court was dismissed today, Chen Shengda was resting in bed at home. Suddenly, Pan Hong came back and said that Chen Wentong was back! He also saved Shen Ruyi's friend. Now he said he had important information, so he was taken to the palace by the prince.
Chen Shengda excitedly tied a few hand warmers to the leg, then took a carriage to the palace gate to wait for his son. He knew that his son would have good fortune in the future after surviving a great disaster!
When the old father saw his son being led out of the palace by his brother-in-law, he stumbled out of the carriage, limping from the pain in his legs as he rushed over and shouted, "Wentong... Wentong, my son!"
Chen Wentong quickly ran over and hugged his father, but he hadn't seen his father for two years and half of his father's hair had turned white, looking as haggard as a man in his 50s or 60s!
Chen Wentong cried out in distress: "Daddy, your son is back. I'm sorry, I'm unfilial! I'm back late...Daddy...I'm sorry for you and mom...Wuwuwu...Daddy..."
At this time, an old father was holding his lost and found son. He couldn't stop crying and was shaking with excitement. Later, Chen Shengda couldn't breathe and fainted!
Chen Wentong was so scared that he hugged his old father and hurriedly carried him to their family's carriage.
Pan Zhengqing rushed over nervously, his tears streaming down his face as he said, "Wentong, your father has been your father since you were eight years old. He has truly poured all his love into you over the years, and it has not been easy for him...
Now that you are back, you will have to shoulder the burden of being a son in the future, do you know that? Your mother is gone, and you can't blame anyone for that, it can only be called fate!
When he knew that your life or death was uncertain, he kept sending family members to look for your whereabouts, and even spent money to find the leader to send people to look for you...
Your mother never got any information from you, and she collapsed while waiting. She went completely crazy... She took her anger out on the Duke of Fuguo's family, and rushed to the Duke of Fuguo's mansion again and again like a madman, wanting to kill their son...
Later, Yun'er shocked the Empress and made her faint. The Empress fell into a coma and was thrown into prison. Your grandfather, your father and I knelt at the palace gate to plead guilty. After kneeling for a few days, the royal family did not say anything about implicating the Pan and Chen families. Your mother died a few days after she was thrown into prison.
In fact, her death was not due to any other reason, but because she thought you were dead, so her heart died...
Now your father is trying hard to lead a good life with your brother. He lets Pan Hong live in the old house of Chen Mansion, hoping that one day you will come home!"
Chen Wentong hugged his uncle and said, "Don't worry, uncle. Wentong will be filial to my father and take good care of my younger brother... and will comfort my mother's spirit in heaven..."
Pan Zhengqing sighed: "Okay, go home... everything will be fine in the future!
You are a person with great luck. Many people went to the battlefield and never returned, but you can come back again, which proves that you are a person with great luck... Go back quickly!"
Pan Hong and Chen Kuan drove the carriage and took the Chen father and son home in a flash. Chen Wentong came back at the gate of the palace, and Chen Shengda fainted from crying. This incident soon became explosive news in the capital.
The next day, Chen Shengda did not attend the morning court and asked for leave, saying that he had a serious leg disease and could not walk.
Pan Zhengqing asked for leave from Chen Shengda. Today, Pan Song came to the court in good spirits. He hoped to perform well before the new emperor ascended the throne, so that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he could recommend his son-in-law or his son to take over his position.
Now that his grandson is back, he still hopes to help his grandson. At least his grandson has just escaped from Dongguan and brought back some important things. He said that it was the news he brought back that caught the traitor in Dongguan in Daqin. This is a meritorious service!
Sure enough, today in the court, Emperor Bogu and Crown Prince Qin Jinan both praised the Chen father and son, saying that Chen Shengda had taught his son well, and that Chen Wentong was a smart and brave young general.
Everyone could see that the signal revealed by the emperor and the prince today was that they would make important use of Chen Shengda and his son in the future.
Pan Song was so happy that he didn't know what to do. It would be a good thing if he could help his son-in-law and grandson to succeed before retiring, because his little grandson would follow in the footsteps of his father and brother when he grows up after being in his teens!
Chen Wentong sent his younger brother to school early in the morning, prepared medicine for his father, helped him take the medicine, and then went to the Wei family army camp to report to the commander-in-chief Wei Wanlin.
After reporting to the military camp, Chen Wentong returned to the capital in the afternoon. After thinking about it, he went to the small courtyard where Xiao Muwan was.
Because Chen Wentong was the battalion commander of the Wei family army, the people guarding the door knew him. Chen Wentong said he wanted to visit Xiao Muwan, so someone reported it to him. When Xiao Muwan heard that it was Chen Wentong who came, he was very happy to meet him.
Chen Wentong told Xiao Muwan some things about Dongguan, saying that Dongguan’s prince Xiao Cang is now in charge of Dongguan’s political power, but he still spared no effort and wanted to kill Xiao Muwan, so he told her to be careful!
Xiao Muwan looked at Chen Wentong and suddenly felt that this man was polite and reasonable, and had a strong sense of justice!
"Master Chen, do you know why Xiao Cang wants to hunt me down, even to the point of fighting until I'm dead?"
Chen Wentong shook his head: "I don't know about this. I only know that Dongguan has issued a death order to get your head. I heard that you were taken back to Daqin by Wei's army, so Dongguan will continue to send assassins to us!"
The little girl curled her lips, looked into the distance and said calmly: "Because the destruction of Dongguan... was my doing!
Although I am the princess of Dongguan, Xiao Cang's mother and my father killed my mother together.
My mother gave me endless love, but she was killed by them. Before her death, she said that if I wanted to survive in Dongguan and have the final say over my own life and death, then I would have to become the king of Dongguan!
If they killed my mother, then they would have no reason to live. My father was extremely cruel. He said that my mother was ambitious...
Oh! Do you want to live without ambition? Then you have to have ambition, right?
Since they treated us like this, why should I show mercy? So I borrowed the hands of your Daqin Wei Army to take over the entire Dongguan regime!
Xiao Cang is only the county governor at the moment, but that position will be mine sooner or later!"
Chen Wentong was completely shocked. Such a thin little girl actually said such domineering words. It seemed that she was indeed an ambitious person!
Perhaps all princesses and princes born in the royal family have ambitions? Chen Wentong's three views were overturned. He couldn't imagine that the little girl he had saved, who was almost killed, was actually the princess of Dongguan, and she was going to become the king of Dongguan!
The girl turned her head and looked at Chen Wentong, her lips curved: "Mr. Chen, don't be afraid, I will succeed. Maybe you don't know the trump card in my hand now, but in the future I want you to see how I rise!
My mother is right. If I want to be my own master and decide life and death, I will become the king of Dongguan. Those who have harmed my mother will never live!
Chen Wentong...
"Miss, your idea is actually correct, but as a girl, it will be extremely difficult for you to take back the power of Dongguan. I think you should find a strong helper."
Xiao Muwan smiled very happily, she looked really good when she smiled! "Mr. Chen, will you help me?"
Chen Wentong...
"If Miss Xiao wants my help, Chen will definitely do his best!"
