Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-621-1

Out of the Blue (1)

Jing Wan slightly lifted her brow. Towards her son’s assessment, she was actually a bit surprised. However, soon after, she smiled again, “Falling short of the best, but better than the worst.”

Li Tian Lin quite acceptingly nodded, “Indeed, not that far from the best, much better than the worst.”

“This evaluation of yours, your imperial father won’t not necessarily ‘appreciate’.” That man simply didn’t care about other people’s evaluation towards him. If you say too much, he perhaps will just feel annoyed.

“En, just the two of us knowing is enough, won’t tell him.” He appeared very earnest, his eyes seemingly also carrying that innocence from his childhood, hiding a little secret with his imperial mother.

However, how could he really still have that kind of innocence. In his growth, what he should experience, he all experienced, and what he shouldn’t experience, he also experienced. Jing Wan believed that in his heart, he was actually far more mature than now. For a sixteen year old, it was actually somewhat like ‘pulling up the root to help grow’, letting her can’t help but think of her ‘other’ son. Because of the deficiencies in his childhood, when trapped in a five year old shell, he really would have a bit of innocence, unable to feel anything out of sorts. However, in merely just ten some days, that innocence just shedded away. He was ultimately an adult.

Li Tian Lin right now was probably worrying that because he’d been away for so long, his imperial mother might not be able to adjust.

Speaking of which, these five years were actually Li Tian Lin’s most crucial development period. If it was just living in a relatively simple environment, it was still okay, the influences probably not that big, but he just had to get thrown out by Li Hong Yuan. In this way, how he will be in the future, this period of time for the most part can have a determining effect. Originally, according to Jing Wan’s idea, waiting until this current age of his, and then going out for a few years, it also won’t be too late. His temperament at sixteen, no matter what, would all be stronger than when he’s eleven. His mental fortitude also won’t be on the same level, and he also won’t be that easily influenced by the outside world. But, some things, once her husband insisted, she can only move aside.

Fortunately, their son didn’t grow crooked, his temperament also not bad. Compared to his imperial father, that severely ill snake disease patient plus obsessive pervert, it was practically just like comparing the upright, humble, and extremely charming big male lead with extraordinary bearing and high specs, with the demonic and mad final boss.

That’s why, don’t look at how her son looked more like his old man, her genes also had great contributions.

“You’re even more outstanding than what imperial mother had anticipated. Imperial mother is very happy.”

Li Tian Lin hesitated for a moment, looking at Jing Wan, wanting to say something but hesitating.

“What’s wrong? If my son has something to say, there’s no harm in saying it.”

“Imperial mother, that year when this son was five, exactly what happened? Although at the time still small, so even if missing a month worth of memories, this son also didn’t think much of it, and the people in the surrounding also didn’t dare to say anything, the feeling actually not too obvious either, but this son kept feeling that that period of time was very special.”

Jing Wan’s expression slightly flickered, “How come you suddenly thought of asking this?”

Let me put it like this for imperial mother, over these years, one has experienced many things, and have many times sunk into despair and suffering, even nearly walking astray, but every time, when unable to hang on anymore, seemingly about to breakdown, someone will always appear in my dreams, just like a guiding light in the dark.”

Jing Wan immediately understood. These years, it was just like what her husband had said, when really in a desperate situation, he won’t really ignore him. Actually, many times, when the ‘guide’ they arranged was just about to appear, they would nevertheless discover that he had already managed through on his own, walking out of the fog. Did her ‘other’ son come back again? Just, the method was different, and his time also short? Jing Wan didn’t know what the cause was in this matter, or perhaps it was because they were originally just the same person, truly of the same root?

But, to screw over ‘oneself’, yet will also help ‘oneself’, that son’s belly also wasn’t that black.

TN: All

“Tian Lin feels that there’s a connection here?”

Li Tian Lin noticed Jing Wan’s expression. In front of her own son, there was no need for her to control her expression like that. “Imperial mother has already given this son the answer, no?”

“This matter, when mentioning, is also quite unbelievable. Ordinary people afraid will have a very hard time accepting.”

“This son is born from imperial mother and imperial father, so naturally can’t be compared to ordinary people.”

Jing Wan heavily sighed, “To put it simply, that’s your other self. As for more specifically, need to start from your imperial father.”

Li Tian Lin was astonished, but his emotional fluctuations weren’t obvious, listening respectfully and attentively.

Jing Wan very calmly narrated Li Hong Yuan’s what practically can be considered legendary life experiences, both his previous and present life. Because the things from his past life, she also didn’t know much, she said rather little of, but in this life, as long as she’d participated in it, she for the most part would all add little details.

To say that Li Tian Lin didn’t have any stirrings inside, that was impossible, but there also weren’t any big waves either, his ability to accept quite high, “Turns out, it was actually like this?”

“Aside from this, Tian Lin, there’s nothing you want to say?” Jing Wan looked into his eyes and said.

“Does imperial mother like him more, or like this son more? Is he more outstanding, or is this son more outstanding?”

Jing Wan was somewhat between laughter and tears, “Both you, so what is there to compare, can you even be jealous of yourself?”

“Imperial mother already have us viewed separately, no?” Clearly, on this matter, Li Tian Lin was very stubborn.

“Alright, but Tian Lin, you can’t let a mother go pick which son one likes more. In imperial mother’s eyes, you’re both the same.”

Li Tian Lin also realized that he made a mistake, “Sorry imperial mother, it’s this son’s fault. However, he’d specifically left such a mess for this son, really having this son sorted out quite severely, to the extent that if not for this son vigorously studying in the following few years, one wouldn’t have gotten thrown out of the capital that early by imperial father.”

Sure enough, they were the same person? This intent of wanting to take revenge couldn’t be more obvious. “Since he can come, then you perhaps can also go over.” Jing Wan uncertainly said.

“Is that so? Then this son very much look forward to it.” Li Tian Lin was eager to try, his eyes slightly spinning. Just looking at him, one can tell that he was cooking up some bad idea.

Jing Wan had the impulse to facepalm. Why was her son just so obsessed with ‘screwing over himself’? “This matter isn’t certain, so don’t think of those pointless things.”

“Naturally so, this son also won’t insist on it.” Just, if it really happens, he certainly will ruthlessly cause trouble. Wasn’t he already the emperor? Occupying the status of an emperor to cause trouble, practically can’t be too easy. He can just learn from his imperial father, how simple of a matter. The mess thrown to ‘him’ absolutely will be ten-fold, no a hundred-fold of his.

Afterwards, the mother and son pair casually chatted. Despite having not seen one another in five years, because of constantly exchanging letters, the blank areas were very quickly filled in, no longer having the slightest sense of unfamiliarity.

Li Tian Lin also called someone over to come serve.

Jing Wan saw that familiar, yet unfamiliar face, “Fu Rong, many years no see.”

“To be able to see your Highness again, in this servant’s heart, there’s endless joy.” Fu Rong softly said, ripples appearing in her eyes, yet also disappearing very quickly.

“Fu Rong, sure enough, was imperial mother’s person.” Although long having guessed, to be able to confirm in this moment, Li Tian Lin was still a bit moved.

“Asking your Highness to forgive.” Fu Rong said.

“What is there to forgive? Originally, this prince was just missing a capable mama in charge of overseeing the big and small matters by one’s side. Your appearance very much matched this prince’s wish. However, since you are imperial mother’s person, how come this prince has never seen you before? Moreover, imperial mother also hasn’t seen you in many years, how come?”

“Replying to your Highness, prior to your Highness’s birth, this servant just went to extract revenge. After taking revenge, this servant thus came back, yet didn’t enter the capital, instead, under her Highness’s orders, went to your side.”

“What revenge, taking that long?” Actually, he’d already realized that this matter afraid wasn’t that simple.

Fu Rong suddenly revealed a shallow smile, “Your Highness, this servant went to personally slaughter more than half of the Former Wei imperial family, including Former Wei’s emperor, as well as a few power-wielding wangyes.”

Li Tian Lin strangely felt a chill on his back. The people by imperial mother’s side seemingly were all quite formidable.

And upon hearing, Jing Wan also lifted her head to glance at Fu Rong. The scar back then from when she ruined her own appearance was still clearly visible. Based on Jing Wan’s knowledge, in these ten plus years, as a spy, she was quite successful. Even during Qi Yuan’s attack on Former Wei, she all played quite the role. However, Li Hong Yuan’s ‘grudge’ against Former Wei ultimately wasn’t as big as Southern Qi’s. As such, on the matter of devouring Former Wei, his pace was relatively slow, and because of this, the time spent was for the most part three times that of Southern Qi’s.

Fu Rong wanting to personally slaughter those people in the end, she’d obtained Jing Wan’s permission. Just, Jing Wan never thought that Fu Rong would specifically pick the big fish to slaughter. Her grudge was practically just rose to the height of where it encompassed the entire Former Wei. In reality, was it really this big? Alright, this completely depended on an individual’s way of thinking and understanding. Clearly, Fu Rong had ‘great ambitions’.

“What about your parents?” Jing Wan asked. Back then, forcing Fu Rong to carry out orders, it was just using her parents that were actually still alive as a threat. Exactly what it was like, Fu Rong should be clear now.

“Replying to your Highness, they’d already passed away. Although it wasn’t that early like in the beginning, but they didn’t live that many years longer either.” Fu Rong calmly said.

“My condolences.”

Fu Rong smiled, “In this servant’s mind, they’ve long passed away. Even though the matters afterwards caused stirrings inside, but it’s not like one wasn’t mentally prepared.”

“That’s good. In the future, Tian Lin’s side, will be troubling you.”

“For your Highness to be able to take in this servant, even letting this servant serve his Highness, it’s this servant’s honor.”

Jing Wan nodded. Towards her own people, she has never treated unfairly.
