Chapter 1044: Chapter 844: Taking Back His Wife

The noble consort suddenly looked at the Emperor, and the Emperor also looked at her. He had already guessed what she wanted, but he hadn’t expected it to be true.

After coming out of Xiaoye’s room, the noble consort looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, you must have already investigated Xiaoye’s affair, right? Including that of his wife?"

The Emperor nodded: "I have had people look into it, but it’s a very thorny issue."

"How is it thorny?"

"It involves the war among three nations. If we wish to help Xiaoye reclaim his wife, we must be prepared for war. Our strength is comparable to that of Dajin, but since Dajin has already suffered losses at the hands of the barbarians, our chances of victory are even slimmer. The only possibility is to ally with Dajin, and with two nations attacking one, we might have a chance to retrieve Xiaoye’s wife. But it’s quite difficult. I fear Dashun will be enraged and instead of releasing her, they might kill her. It’s said that when Xiaoye’s wife left, she was already pregnant, and by now, she must have given birth. Any negligence could result in two lives lost."

Upon hearing this, the noble consort could no longer hold back, and she quickly knelt down before the Emperor.

"My beloved consort, why are you doing this?"

"Your Majesty, please hear this humble consort’s words. The reason Xiaoye disappeared, I believe we are all at fault. Because of such a fault, we have let him suffer greatly. Do you know how he grew up? Over at Dajin, there is what’s called a ’Devil’s Training Camp’ where everyone must fight against each other, and only the victors can survive. Even though they don’t kill their opponents, can you imagine Xiaoye constantly challenging his comrades as soon as he entered? Under such circumstances, he certainly could not afford to make friends; he could only live life coldly. Xiaoye’s life has been full of nothing but training and waging wars. He surely has not had many good days, but he treasures his wife so much, she must be extremely important to him. I feel that we should do something for him to make up for these years of regret. Your Majesty, please ensure that Xiaoye’s wife is rescued. Only then will we have no regrets."

The story of Xiaoye was told to the noble consort by Nangong Nini, and while listening, she couldn’t stop crying. Indeed, he was a famous general, as glorious as he appeared to the public, his life behind the scenes was filled with hardship. Among the Emperor’s princes, none had suffered as much as Xiaoye. The most they had to endure was a heavy load of studies, spending some time learning music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and archery. They never had to fight for their lives.

After listening to the noble consort’s entreaty, the Emperor also felt a pang of sorrow.

He had many sons, but Xiaoye was the first. When he first became a father, how delighted he was, watching over his son endlessly, every day. Although he later had many princes, he could never find that initial joy of fatherhood. Moreover, among all his sons, it was Xiaoye who resembled him the most when he was young.

After considering the matter, he helped the noble consort to her feet: "This matter requires careful and long-term planning. For now, I will send an emissary to Dajin to see what they are thinking. If they are willing to join forces with us, then there is hope that Xiaoye’s wife can be rescued. My beloved consort, rest assured, I will keep this matter close to my heart."

...

"Is Nangong Ye truly a prince of Dazhou?"

Dajin.

The young Emperor, upon hearing a report from a minister below, was quite surprised.
