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

Zheng Zhuoling looked at Jiang Shaohan with horror on his face, sweat dripping down his head, and he was completely soaked.

Jiang Shaohan had a blank expression on his face, and there was a barely perceptible coldness in his eyes.

Du Yunsheng sat quietly aside, looking at everything in front of him with complicated eyes.

Zheng Zhuoling knew very well that he had violated Jiang Shaohan's bottom line this time, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

He gritted his teeth, finally mustered up the courage, and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, Princess, I...I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

Jiang Shaohan glanced at Zheng Zhuoling coldly, and said in a cold tone: "Zheng Zhuoling, do you know your crime?"

Zheng Zhuoling knelt hurriedly and kowtowed: "I know, I know. I deserve to die, please have mercy, Your Majesty."

Du Yunsheng sighed softly and said, "Zheng Zhuoling, do you know what crime you have committed?"

Zheng Zhuoling replied tremblingly: "Princess, I have committed the crime of betrayal. I am sorry to the prince and the princess."

Jiang Shaohan's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Since you know you are wrong, then just end it yourself."

Zheng Zhuoling's eyes widened with horror. He didn't expect Jiang Shaohan to be so heartless. He struggled to defend himself, but swallowed the words back. He knew that any defense at this moment would be futile.

At this moment, Du Yunsheng gently pulled Jiang Shaohan's sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness, although Zheng Zhuoling made a big mistake, he was also impulsive. Considering that he once worked for me, why not spare his life and let him make meritorious contributions while serving his crime."

Jiang Shaohan was silent for a moment, turned to look at Du Yunsheng, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He nodded gently and said, "Since the princess pleads for him, then let him live. I hope he can remember this lesson and not make the same mistake again."

Zheng Zhuoling looked at Du Yunsheng gratefully, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would be loyal and serve the Prince Jing's Mansion in the future.

One day, Zheng Zhuoling was trimming flowers and plants for the prince in the courtyard. Jiang Shaohan came over, looked at him, and suddenly said, "Zheng Zhuoling, do you know why I can tolerate your betrayal?"

Zheng Zhuoling was stunned for a moment, and answered cautiously: "My Lord, is it because the princess pleaded for me?"

Jiang Shaohan shook his head: "No, it's because I believe you still have loyalty in your heart. As long as a person has loyalty in his heart, he deserves to be forgiven."

Zheng Zhuoling was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

Jiang Shaohan's expression became serious, and he immediately asked, "When will Zheng Zhuoling come?"

Du Yunsheng sat aside, took a sip of tea, and replied calmly: "He said he would arrive at 15:30. However, Zheng Zhuoling always keeps his word, so he shouldn't be late."

Jiang Shaohan nodded slightly, but a trace of worry flashed across his brows. He turned and looked out the window at the garden of Prince Jing's mansion. The spring sunshine sprinkled on the flowers in the garden, which looked particularly bright, but he couldn't relax.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the gate, and as the concierge informed them, Zheng Zhuoling appeared in front of everyone. He was dressed in green, with an upright figure and an extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows.

"Lord Zheng, you are here." Jiang Shaohan immediately stood up to greet him, and his expression became enthusiastic.

Zheng Zhuoling smiled and bowed in return: "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing, I have heard of you for a long time."

Du Yunsheng smiled gently and said, "Master Zheng, you are too polite. Please take a seat."

The three of them sat down as host and guest, and the waiter quickly served them the fragrant tea. Zheng Zhuoling picked up the teacup and said softly, "I came here to discuss the border issue between Western Wei and Southern Tang. This matter is of great importance, and I hope that Your Highness and the Princess can give me more advice."

Jiang Shaohan frowned slightly and said, "Sir Zheng, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time. The border issue between Western Wei and Southern Tang is a matter of great importance. If it is not handled properly, it may lead to war."

Zheng Zhuoling nodded gently: "Your Highness is right. But I think there is still room for maneuver. As long as we handle it properly, it may not be impossible to resolve it peacefully."

Du Yunsheng interrupted, "So, what do you think, Lord Zheng?"

Zheng Zhuoling put down his teacup and his expression became serious: "The root cause of the border issue is disputes. To solve this problem, we can invite envoys to come and discuss together to seek consensus. At the same time, we can also strengthen patrols in the border areas to prevent conflicts between the people of both sides."

Jiang Shaohan pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zheng's suggestion is good. However, I think we still need to show a certain level of strength during the negotiation to prevent the other party from asking for too much."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Your Highness is right. Strength is the cornerstone of negotiation. We can strengthen our deployment before the negotiations and let Nan Tang know our bottom line."

Zheng Zhuoling cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best."

Du Yunsheng looked at Zheng Zhuoling and smiled, "Sir Zheng, we will hold a banquet for you tonight as a sign of respect."

Zheng Zhuoling hurriedly said, "Princess, you are too polite. How can I disturb the peace of your mansion?"

Jiang Shaohan said, "Sir Zheng, you have come from afar, so we should do our best to be the best hosts. You must come to the banquet tonight."

Zheng Zhuoling couldn't refuse any longer and had to agree.

As night fell, the lights in Prince Jing's mansion were bright and full of laughter. At the banquet, Zheng Zhuoling, Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Shaohan suddenly said, "Sir Zheng, I have something to ask of you."

Zheng Zhuoling put down his wine glass and said, "Your Highness, please speak."

Jiang Shaohan smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and said: "Lord Zheng, the border has been repeatedly invaded by foreign races recently. I want to go to the front line in person to supervise the battle and stabilize the situation. But during my absence, the internal affairs of the palace may be neglected, so I entrust you with this."

Zheng Zhuoling was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to take care of all the affairs of the palace for you."

At this time, Du Yunsheng chuckled and said, "Sir Zheng, your highness's trip is of great importance. You need to be more careful during your time in the palace."

Zheng Zhuoling looked at Du Yunsheng, secretly admiring her wit and steadiness, and replied: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best."

Jiang Shaohan's trip is of great significance. Once he leaves, the power structure in the palace will inevitably change.

After five rounds of wine, Jiang Shaohan said, "Sir Zheng, I have something else to ask of you. I have a son named Jiang Yunfan, who is only ten years old. He has a naughty personality but is very intelligent. While I am away, Sir Zheng, please take good care of him, teach him to read and write, and let him understand the importance of his country and the world."

Zheng Zhuoling said solemnly: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Du Yunsheng looked at Zheng Zhuoling, sighed softly, and said: "Master Zheng, Yunfan lost his mother when he was young, and he has a withdrawn personality. You need to show more care and love when teaching him."

Zheng Zhuoling's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will do my best."

After the banquet, everyone went their separate ways. Zheng Zhuoling returned to his room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

In Prince Jing's Mansion, he not only has to take care of the palace's internal affairs, but also has to take good care of Jiang Yunfan, and even more so, he has to deal with the covetousness of various forces that may arise.
