Chapter 1667: Chapter 1668: Husband, I Miss You So Much

Dongfang Tianyang genuinely didn’t want An Jing to die in such a manner, so he just stood at a distance.

It wasn’t until he saw An Jing seem to have handled the wound on her neck in front of the bronze mirror that he breathed a great sigh of relief.

From then on, Dongfang Tianyang dared not force An Jing to become his woman.

Once Dongfang Tianyang left, and once all the attendants had retreated, An Jing rose up, walked to the window, and gazed in the direction of the King of Xiyun’s mansion. After looking for quite a while, she lightly murmured, ”Husband, I miss you... miss you so, so much...”

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Changyi had just infiltrated the Nan Chi Kingdom.

Nan Chi Kingdom has eight cities, and it would take Xiao Changyi at least half a year, if not a full year, to search through them all.

Because he can only eat a little at each meal, Xiao Changyi has become extremely thin.

...

An Jing is unaware that Xiao Changyi is in the Nan Chi Kingdom, yet she is certain that Xiao Changyi is undoubtedly searching for her.

Her husband would never let her disappear without seeking her.

Time passed bit by bit, as An Jing’s neck wound was about to heal, Dongqing Kingdom’s Third Prince Dongfang Tianchong came to visit Dongfang Tianyang.

Dongfang Tianchong was once a defeated subordinate of Xiao Changyi’s, obsessed with martial arts, disinterested in the throne, exceedingly ugly, but had an excellent relationship with Dongfang Tianyang, naturally owing much to the fact that Dongfang Tianchong and Dongfang Tianyang shared the same father and mother.

The reason Dongfang Tianyang could become Crown Prince initially and succeed the Dongqing throne was largely due to the tremendous support of his elder brother Dongfang Tianchong.

At that time, Dongfang Tianyang was the Seventh Prince, and Dongfang Tianchong was the Third Prince. Later, when Dongfang Tianyang ascended the throne, the first thing he did was appoint his elder brother Dongfang Tianchong as Prince, and he was known as ’Third Prince’.

”Why have you come, royal brother?” Upon seeing Dongfang Tianchong arrive, Dongfang Tianyang was quite surprised. Everyone knew that usually, his elder brother only cared about training in martial arts and military matters, completely disregarding affairs of the Imperial Court.

”Emperor,” Dongfang Tianchong also did not sit; he walked directly in front of Dongfang Tianyang to speak, embodying a rather informal demeanor, ”I heard that a concubine of unknown origin has appeared in your palace, so I came specifically to understand the situation.”

”Who told royal brother?”

Dongfang Tianchong did not conceal it, ”The Empress, she came to me, saying that you send all good things to the Quiet Heart Garden and no longer visit other concubines, always running to the Quiet Heart Garden every day. She is worried that without you visiting other concubines, the Royal Family’s branches will be scarce, which is not favourable for Dongqing’s eternal continuation. She specifically asked me to understand the situation.”

Dongfang Tianyang sneered, ”Why doesn’t she come herself to understand.”

Dongfang Tianchong sighed, ”You two have a poor relationship.” He paused, ”Emperor, let brother speak sincerely to you; don’t mind brother being too verbose.”

”What are royal brother’s words, royal brother has protected me since childhood, especially after mother died, you protected me even more, whenever any prince bullied me, you stood up for me, and even helped me become Emperor. How could I mind royal brother being verbose? Royal brother, feel free to say whatever you wish.” In this world, the one who treats him best is undoubtedly this royal brother.

Only then did Dongfang Tianchong say, ”You’ve stabilized your position as Emperor, but it’s by relying on the Xu family that you’ve stabilized it. Although Empress Xu is jealous and domineering, the Xu family holds considerable power in the court. If you can achieve harmony with Empress Xu, it’s better to be harmonious.”

Dongfang Tianyang said, ”Royal brother’s words, I also understand, but royal brother, I truly do not like Ms. Xu.”
