Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

Fortunately, within a few days, news came that Prince Duan had miraculously survived!

However, although his life was continued, Prince Duan was paralyzed in bed and unable to move!

When the news came, everyone sighed with emotion.

After all, a former hero on the battlefield is now paralyzed in bed, living a life worse than death.

Shortly after Prince Duan "woken up", he impatiently submitted a memorial requesting to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

In the court, everyone witnessed the once mighty God of War being carried into the hall on a stretcher.

Zheng Dinglian's whole body was wrapped in gauze, and blood was faintly visible through the gauze, the scene was shocking.

His originally handsome and majestic face was now as pale as paper, and looked extremely sick, as if he would die at any moment.

The court officials were all moved. Even those who had been prejudiced against Zheng Dinglian in the past could not bear to say anything more.

Zheng Dinglian was carried to the front of the palace. He tried hard to stand up and salute the emperor, but his body did not move at all. He could only salute the emperor with trembling hands, his voice choking with sobs:

"Your Majesty! I have fulfilled my mission. In this battle, we sacrificed 100,000 warriors, repelled 300,000 enemy troops, and captured 200,000 prisoners. They will be escorted back to the capital soon!"

"This victory was entirely due to the protection of Your Majesty's divine power! But... I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for my disrespectful behavior of not being able to perform the ritual of kneeling and bowing!"

The emperor was sitting high on the dragon throne. Hearing Zheng Dinglian's words, he couldn't help but be moved. He stood up with tears in his eyes and said repeatedly:

"Good! Good! Good! My dear Lord Zheng has established immortal merits for our Great Yong Dynasty! How could I blame you? My dear Lord, you have worked hard and made great contributions, but now your health is..."

The emperor looked at Zheng Dinglian with a look of deep sorrow and asked with concern.

Zheng Dinglian sighed, his eyes met with the emperor's, and he said slowly:

"I am now a useless person, and I am afraid I will never be able to serve the country again."

After a brief pause, Zheng Dinglian took out a tiger talisman from his bosom, handed it to the emperor solemnly, and said:

"I have accomplished my mission. Your Majesty, please take back this tiger talisman."

Zheng Dinglian's move instantly made the atmosphere in the court tense!

Tiger Tally?

As soon as Prince Duan returned, he handed over the tiger talisman that symbolized military power? This behavior shocked everyone.

Everyone had different expressions, and their eyes were all directed at Zheng Dinglian. There was a complex light flashing in everyone's eyes.

Even the usually calm emperor was stunned for a moment.

He had always relied on Zheng Dinglian's talents, but at the same time he was wary of him. He had conquered the surrounding countries at a young age, and now he had a large army in his hands. How could the emperor not be worried?

If Zheng Dinglian had developed rebellious thoughts, the Western Wei Dynasty would have changed hands in a blink of an eye.

However, when the emperor was still trying every possible means to find a reasonable reason to make Zheng Dinglian hand over the tiger talisman, Zheng Dinglian unexpectedly handed over the tiger talisman on his own initiative.

Is this all going too smoothly? Or is there a hidden conspiracy behind this?

But no matter what, it is much better for Zheng Dinglian to hand over the tiger talisman voluntarily than for the emperor to force him.

The emperor first symbolically declined, then put away the tiger talisman with gratitude on his face, and then praised Zheng Dinglian highly.

The ministers in the court followed suit and praised Zheng Dinglian with the emperor.

People always enjoy adding icing on the cake.

Seeing this, Zheng Dinglian took the opportunity to respectfully say to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask for."

The emperor had just received the tiger talisman, and the joy on his face had not yet subsided. After hearing Zheng Dinglian's words, his expression suddenly became stiff, and he thought to himself:

Sure enough, how could Zheng Dinglian hand over the tiger talisman to him so easily? There must be something else going on!

However, the emperor had just received the tiger talisman, and it seemed inappropriate to refuse it now, so he hid the murderous intent in his eyes and said with a fake smile:

"If you have any request, please tell me directly. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Upon hearing this, the court officials' heartbeats quickened with nervousness. They lowered their heads and kept silent, but their ears perked up, eager to know what request Zheng Dinglian would make.

Now that he was the Prince of Duan, did he intend to ask for a fiefdom and become a local emperor? However, the Western Wei Dynasty had long abolished the feudal system. If Zheng Dinglian dared to make this request, blood would probably be splattered in the hall today.

At this moment, a man stepped forward, coughed heavily several times, and then said to the emperor in a hoarse voice:

"Your Majesty, Prince Duan has fought for the country and the people for many years and has made outstanding contributions. No matter what reward he requests, I agree with it."

Everyone looked at the person who was speaking and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

It turned out to be the Great General Dongfang Shenqi!

As everyone knows, General Dongfang has been on sick leave for many days and has not attended court for a long time.

But today he came despite being ill, and to support Prince Duan Zheng Dinglian.

This is not surprising. As military generals, there is always a tacit understanding between them.

But others did not dare to be as bold as Dongfang Shenqi. They could only lower their heads silently and dare not make any sound.

The Minister of Revenue Dou Hongwei was pale and terrified at this moment.

He secretly glanced at Dongfang Shenqi and thought that his father-in-law was so reckless. Why did he interfere in this matter?

If he angered the emperor because of this, the entire family would probably be implicated, and he would not be able to escape the blame.

Thinking of this, Dou Hongwei gritted his teeth, then stepped forward and said:

"General Dongfang, no matter what Prince Duan requests, we should follow His Majesty's wishes."

Dongfang Shenqi coughed a few times, glanced at Dou Hongwei, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and sneered:

"Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This is the way for a wise ruler to govern a country!"

Prince Duan and his loyal soldiers sacrificed their lives to create a glorious and prosperous era for the Western Wei Dynasty! Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how can you ignore such a small wish?

These words undoubtedly put the emperor under the watchful eyes of the public and under a fiery test.

If this request came from Zheng Dinglian, and the emperor was unwilling to agree to it, wouldn't he be a tyrant?

Dou Hongwei's face turned red, and he tried his best to wink at Dongfang Shenqi, but Dongfang Shenqi didn't care. He held the tablet in his hand, his face was stern, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the emperor.

Fortunately, the Grand Tutor beside him came to the rescue and said with a smile:

"Why do you two have to argue endlessly? Why don't you ask Prince Duan to explain first what exactly he wants?"

The Grand Tutor's words not only avoided the emperor's embarrassment, but also left room for both parties to maneuver.

Zheng Dinglian lay on the stretcher and turned his gaze to General Dongfang. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why Dongfang Shenqi would defend him.

After suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zheng Dinglian slowly opened his mouth and stated his request to the emperor.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the court became tense and everyone looked at Zheng Dinglian in astonishment.

Inside Prince Duan’s Mansion.

At the end of the winding corridor, in a hexagonal pavilion near a pond, Gu Qinlan was flipping through a medical book attentively, gently gesturing with a golden needle in her hand.

A small head quietly popped out from behind Gu Qinlan, tiptoed closer, suddenly stretched out its arms, covered Gu Qinlan's eyes, and whispered mischievously:

"Guess who I am~"
