Changsun Wugou was reborn in the body of a plain village woman in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan. As soon as she arrived, she learned that her precious son, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, had rebelled! He had even been stripped of his title and exiled to Qianzhou!
What was going on?
A thousand questions raced through Changsun Wugou’s mind.
After thinking it over, she finally made the long, arduous journey to Qianzhou.
She wasn’t going to confront Li Chengqian. She knew that deposed crown princes had never had an easy life.
It would have been one thing if she hadn’t returned. But now that she was back, she couldn’t let her Chengqian live like all the deposed crown princes before him, forgotten and left to suffer hunger and cold.
She would look after him. Even if she could no longer give him the dignity of a son of the imperial house, at least she could make sure he never had to worry about food, clothing, or keeping warm.
Besides, she didn’t know whether the old injury to Chengqian’s leg had healed. She would have to see for herself before she could rest easy.
But...
What did they mean, the twelfth year of Zhenguan, when the Emperor had said before the entire court, “If something should happen to the Crown Prince, how can we know that one day the princes won’t rule over you all?”
What did they mean, Prince Wei had once bragged about his riding and archery before the assembled court officials, mocking the deposed Crown Prince’s injured leg?
What did they mean, someone in Changsun Wuji’s service had once said that Zhao Guogong had considered eliminating the deposed Crown Prince once and for all?
Fine, fine! Erlang, Qingque, brother, so this is how you treat my son when I’m gone?
Chengqian, don’t be afraid. Mother is here!
If they won’t love you, Mother will!
If your father doesn’t want you, Mother does!
As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully you again!
PS: Li Chengqian is frail throughout, but he’s like a phone on one bar of battery that just keeps running.
How could the proud man of heaven end up like this! The ruthlessness of history leaves only heartache here. Li Chengqian, let's be a commoner's child in the next life!
From a very unique perspective, Cheng Qian can finally be loved well 😢
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great, Li Chengqian finally has the support of his mother, haha, cheers for the author!!!
It's good to save regrets
It's a very good and rare angle. It's both sad and funny to watch. I hope it can have a happy ending.
