With his mother around, he would definitely not be alone.
The Imperial Consort looked at her son who was beaming with joy and sighed in her heart.
“What about the other two conditions?” She asked.
Prince Anyang gathered his emotions.
“The second condition is that father hopes that after 1 succeed the throne, 1 can continue to promote the Arithmetic Books and increase their influence. Three years later, the Arithmetic Books will be included in the imperial examination.”
The Imperial Consort was stunned.
She was a little surprised by this condition.
“Father wants to leave a good name for himself in history before he dies,” Prince Anyang smiled and explained.
“He values the Arithmetic Books very much. He thinks that the book is not only useful to the people of the Great Yan, but also beneficial to all the people in the world.”
It was fine if he knew about the feud between his father and the Imperial Advisor. He didn’t say much about that his mother.
The Imperial Consort nodded.
“That’s understandable.”
The Emperor had been in power for many years, but he did not have any achievements. On the contrary, he even ceded land and paid compensation, causing the Great Yan to lose its territory.
Now that he was dying, it was understandable that he wanted to earn some reputation for himself.
“Yes. Therefore, 1 have already promised father this.” Prince Anyang smiled.
The Imperial Consort glanced at Prince Anyang. “What about the third condition?” She continued to ask.
In the end, just as she asked, the smile on Prince Anyang’s face disappeared again.
Seeing this, the Imperial Consort’s heart tensed up.
“Tell me quickly.”
Prince Anyang carefully looked at his mother before hesitantly spoke.
“The third condition is that father wants to see Consort Shu before he passes away.”
The Imperial Consort’s expression stiffened, and she subconsciously pinched her hands.
Then, she smiled and let go of his hand.
“Consort Shu?” She smiled and asked Prince Anyang.
When Prince Anyang saw that, he was a little worried.
“Yes.” He nodded.
“Father said that he had already found out that Consort Shu had left the palace, and it was you who helped.”
The Imperial Consort froze again.
“But he doesn’t blame you.”
“Also, about Lady Yu poisoning father…” Prince Anyang glanced at the Imperial Consort.
Seeing her body tense up a little, Prince Anyang said, “1 think that father might also know who is behind this.”
“There’s also Zhang Shi. He knew long ago that she was arranged by me.”
The Imperial Consort’s face had already turned pale.
Prince Anyang smiled.
“But he doesn’t care anymore. Right now, he only wants to see Consort Shu.”
Thinking of this, Prince Anyang actually admired his father a little.
For the sake of the Great Yan, he had forgiven the Imperial Advisor who had betrayed him, his mother who had poisoned him, and his unfilial son.
The Imperial Consort seemed to have caught her breath in an instant.
“So you agreed to it?” She asked Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang shook his head.
“No-”
“The Nangong family has a grudge against father. If Li Xiao and Consort Shu don’t agree, I can’t make decisions for them.”
When the Imperial Conosort heard this, her expression recovered a little.
“Indeed, you can’t do without the support of the Nangong family.”
Hmph, deep love?
Who was he showing his deep love to?
He loved Consort Shu so much, but didn’t he also destroy her maiden family and even kill his own son?
If she were Consort Shu, she would not choose to forgive either.
Thinking of this, the Imperial Consort did not hate him anymore. Instead, she hoped that Consort Shu would go and see Emperor Yan.
Using Consort Shu’s hand, she would make that man suffer even more.
Thinking of this, she quickly had a plan in her heart.
“I’ll write a letter right now. Get someone to send it to Consort Shu in Qingshi Town. Have someone bring Consort Shu to the capital.”
Prince Anyang was stunned.
Only then did a smile appear on the Imperial Consort’s face.
“Since the three conditions have been met, why take the risk?”
As she spoke, the Imperial Consort reached out and grabbed Prince Anyang’s hand.
“I also hope that the throne will come rightfully to you.”
Prince Anyang was touched.
“Thankyou, mother!”
The Imperial Consort smiled and then got up to write the letter.
Fifteen minutes later, Prince Anyang received the letter and left the Imperial Consort’s bedroom.
After returning to the mansion outside the palace, he went to talk to Li Xiao.
When Li Xiao heard Prince Anyang’s words, his expression darkened.
“I know that this matter has put Li Xiao in a difficult position.”
“But Consort Shu is still father’s concubine. Moreover, they had Ninth Brother together.”
“I’m afraid that father doesn’t have much time left. Let them meet, maybe it will reduce some regrets..”
