Chapter 2800 disputes between mother and son (1/2)
As a concubine living in the Imperial Palace, although she was fresh and waterless before, she was bound to have some desire for power under the influence of the environment. Therefore, she also hoped that she could be the Empress Dowager and her son could be the emperor. In that case, their mother and son would have a better life in the Imperial Palace, and would not be bullied or looked down upon.
However, when this desire for power is related to her son's life, Princess Li has no hesitation in choosing her son. She would rather continue to live the same life as before, rather than be the Empress Dowager or the emperor. She also does not want to see her son go to the front line and take risks. She is such a son, and she is reluctant to give up.
however, after hearing the words of his mother, the eight Prince shook his head and said, ”no, I have already promised the princess's Royal Highness on the main hall and in front of many ministers. How can I go back on this time?”
The eighth prince was naturally afraid and nervous. He was also reluctant to give up his mother. Now the rebels are not the former ones. Once he was on the front line, he is likely to be defeated and captured like the former generals.
However, since he has made a choice, the eighth Prince doesn't intend to regret it. Originally, he should have no chance with the throne. Now, because of Princess Qi, he has a chance. He doesn't want to miss this chance. He wants to fight.
”You can go to Princess Qi and say, you want to give up fighting for the throne, right? If others want to gossip, let them talk. ” Princess Li said that she would rather listen to the gossip than see her son take risks. What's more, she hasn't heard the gossip in the Imperial Palace these years. Moreover, if she can survive in the Imperial Palace, there's no problem in this aspect, and she won't care about the gossip.
”I can't. You say I'm ill. You'll stay and take care of me.” For the sake of her son's safety, she would lie, she said.
The eighth prince saw that his mother was so worried about himself. He was funny and moved. If he could, he would like to stay with his mother all the time. However, he knew that he had to fight this time. For the sake of his life and his mother's later life, he had to fight this time. Even if it was really dangerous, he could not flinch.
”Mother, don't worry. Even if I go to the front line, I won't be able to do anything. I'm the prince. It's not up to me to fight and kill enemies. At best, I'm commanding in the camp. Nothing will happen.” The eighth Prince comforted his mother.
”That's not safe either.” Princess Li shook her head and said, ”I have heard that the camps where the troops were stationed were taken by the rebels. Even if you stay in the camp and don't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it's not safe. Who knows if the rebels will come again?”
Princess Li's worry is obviously not unreasonable. When the rebel forces were not so strong before, they were able to bypass the front-line army and end the old nest of the imperial army. Now, after a big victory, the strength of the rebel forces is stronger. If there is another operation to end the old nest, the imperial army will not be able to bear it.
”It's OK. They were too careless and despised the enemy before. You can rest assured that I won't underestimate the enemy and nothing will happen.” The eighth Prince consoled.
As a matter of fact, the eighth Prince has no bottom in his mind. If the army of his court didn't underestimate the enemy before, he would still be sure to defeat the rebels. However, now that the strength of the rebels is stronger, they are weaker. Even if they don't underestimate the enemy, they may not be able to beat them.
However, in this way, the eighth prince would not say to his mother that his mother was already worried about him, and he could not say anything that made her more worried.
However, Princess Li was not moved by the eighth prince, and she was still worried to persuade the eighth prince to give up the fight.
At this time, some servants came to report, Princess Qi came.
Princess Li and the eighth prince are slightly stunned. They don't know what Princess Qi is doing at this time. However, Princess Qi's identity is not ordinary after all. Both Princess Li and the eighth Prince dare not neglect. They hurry to invite Princess Qi in, especially Princess Li. They are already thinking about how to tell Princess Qi about the eighth prince.
