After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

In addition to the emperor, Concubine Min in the palace also heard the news and immediately sent someone to invite Du Yunsheng to the palace for a talk.

The palace maids moved around the courtyard tiptoe, fearing to disturb their master's meditation.

Concubine Min sat in front of the window, looking at the skyline outside, but her heart was surging. She learned that Princess Jing Du Yunsheng would meet her, and she felt both anticipation and inexplicable nervousness.

Soon, Du Yunsheng slowly walked into the Qiluo Palace. She was wearing a lavender silk dress embroidered with delicate plum blossoms, and her steps were light and elegant. Concubine Min immediately stood up to greet her, and their eyes met in an instant.

Concubine Min smiled and said, "Sister Yunsheng, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Du Yunsheng smiled gently and said, "Sister Imperial Concubine, you summoned me. What advice do you have for me?"

Concubine Min waved her hand to signal the maids to leave, leaving only the two of them in the room. She walked over to Du Yunsheng and poured her a cup of tea.

Concubine Min's eyes were gentle: "Sister Yunsheng, you may not know that I have been paying attention to you since you married into Prince Jing's Mansion. I admire your talent and wisdom."

Du Yunsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Sister Imperial Concubine, you are too kind. I just try my best to be a good wife and a good mother."

Concubine Min smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Sister Yun Sheng, you know, everyone in the palace says that you and I are incompatible, but I think we have similarities."

Du Yunsheng was very surprised: "Oh? Why did the Imperial Concubine say that?"

Concubine Min sighed, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

"In this deep palace, we all long for freedom and sincere friendship. On these two points, we have similar pursuits."

Du Yunsheng was silent for a moment. She looked at Concubine Min with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, I know how miserable you are. But in this palace, we can only live very carefully. Any small mistake may lead to our eternal damnation."

Concubine Min nodded slightly. She looked out the window with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Yes, sister Yunsheng, we all have to be careful. But I believe that as long as we support each other, there will always be a glimmer of hope."

The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, the distance between them was shortened a lot.

Concubine Min suddenly became serious: "Sister Yunsheng, I invited you here this time, not only do I want to talk to you, but I also want to entrust you with something."

Du Yunsheng was a little surprised: "Sister Imperial Concubine, please speak."

Concubine Min took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Du Yunsheng.

"This jade pendant was passed down from my mother's family. It represents my identity and status. I hope you can keep it for me until I need it."

Du Yunsheng took the jade pendant, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, what do you mean?"

Concubine Min sighed, her eyes revealing a bit of determination.

"Sister Yun Sheng, you may not know that I have encountered some troubles in the palace recently. I am worried that something bad might happen to me. This jade pendant is my last hope."

Du Yunsheng's heart tightened, she held the jade pendant tightly with a firm look in her eyes.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, don't worry. As long as I am here, this jade pendant will be safe."

Concubine Min looked at Du Yunsheng, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

"Thank you, sister Yunsheng. I believe that with you here, I will be able to get through this difficult time."

……

Du Yunsheng's indifferent gaze was like a pool of still water, without any ripples.

Du Chenting couldn't help but tremble in his heart. There was deep disgust in his daughter's eyes. That was the evil result he had sown over the years.

"Yun Sheng, why...why are you looking at me like that?" Du Chenting suppressed the panic in his heart and tried to ask in a calm tone.

Du Yunsheng raised his chin slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Father, do you really not know? Or are you pretending not to know?"

Du Chenting smiled bitterly: "I know that my indifference to your mother and neglect of you and your sister over the years is all my fault. But, Yun Sheng, I really did this for the good of this family and for your sake."

"For us?" Du Yunsheng sneered, "Have you ever thought about what we really want? Is it the glory of the family, or the warmth of family affection?"

Du Chenting was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I know I owe you too much. But, Yun Sheng, you are my daughter, you should understand that the glory of the Du family is your glory, and the rise and fall of the Du family is your rise and fall."

"Father, you are wrong." Du Yunsheng's eyes became firm. "The glory of the Du family has nothing to do with me. I only know that I am a person, I have my emotions, and I have my dignity. I will not sacrifice my happiness for the so-called family glory."

Du Chenting's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his daughter would say such a thing. He pointed at Du Yunsheng with a trembling finger: "You...are you contradicting me?"

Du Yunsheng smiled gently: "Father, this is not a contradiction, this is just my true voice. Over the years, I have seen you sacrifice everything for the benefit of the family, including our family relationship. Now, I just want to live for myself and no longer be bound by you."

Du Chenting's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak. He sighed deeply, and his eyes revealed endless sadness: "Yun Sheng, are you really willing to give up your family and everything we have?"

Du Yunsheng shook his head gently: "Father, I have never given up on my family, I just don't want to live for it anymore. The true family glory is not achieved by sacrificing family affection and happiness."

Du Chenting was silent for a long time, and the sadness in his eyes gradually turned into a complex emotion. He looked at Du Yunsheng, as if he saw the shadow of his youth. He suddenly realized that although his daughter's words were harsh, they were right.

"Yun Sheng, maybe you are right." Du Chenting said slowly, "I was wrong. I was extremely wrong. All these years, I always thought I was doing this for your good, but I never thought that I would make you suffer so much."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect her father to be so frank. She looked at her father, and the disgust in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep sympathy.

"Father, let the past be the past. As long as you are willing to change, I believe we can start over." Du Yunsheng said softly.

Du Chenting nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "I will change. For you and for this family, I am willing to start over."

……

Du Yunsheng had just finished breakfast when she saw Xiang Zhu rushing over to report, "Princess, it's bad. Ning'an Marquis is at the gate of the palace with his men. You should go out and meet him now."

Du Yunsheng frowned slightly when she heard this. She put down the porcelain bowl in her hand and slowly stood up, with a hint of doubt and displeasure in her eyes. She looked at Xiang Zhu, her tone calm but with unquestionable majesty: "What is he doing here?"

Xiang Zhu pursed her lips, looking a little nervous: "Princess, I don't know either, but judging from the look on Ning'an Marquis's face, it seems like there's something urgent going on."
