CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 346: SCREW YOUR TRAGIC BEAUTY (PART 16)_3

But now, mother directly made herself the "Prince Pingliang," making it unnecessary for me, her son, to strive any longer, so He Jue gave up the thought of making an effort.

Being a happy layabout, lying flat as the Princely Heir relying on mother, isn’t that nice?!

The Third Young Master indeed has a promising future, but the Northwest Prince still has several sons like the eldest, the second, and the youngest.

If the Northwest Prince ascends that Dragon Throne, and the Wei Family holds the Jiangshan, then the struggle for the throne among sons will ensue.

He Jue, having read history books since childhood, is very clear about the bloodiness and cruelty of the battle for the throne.

If he had no other path, he would only follow the Third Young Master in fierce battles.

But now, he has a better choice, there’s really no need to drag himself and his relatives, including his mother, into this mess.

"We can also hand over He Village, as for my brothers and sisters, whether they want to join the army or take up official posts, it’s up to them!"

He Jue has a clear idea, and as he speaks, his words flow more smoothly.

Ms. Hetian nodded in satisfaction, "Very good. Neither my son nor I have ambitions for kingly conquest, all we seek is peace and smoothness!"

Previously, Ms. Hetian worried about the rising He Erniu, fearing he’d become a Chen Shimei or a malicious stepfather if he gained wealth and honor.

Moreover, the male lead and the female lead of this world, they possess an invincible Protagonist Halo.

Ms. Hetian and He Jue are just minor characters, especially He Jue being considered a beautiful strong tragic villain.

Although, after awakening, Ms. Hetian has been trying her best to extricate from entanglements with the male and female leads.

But the power of the plot is great, Ms. Hetian has to guard against her son being driven by some mysterious forces to continue being a Sacrificial Lamb for the leads!

And there’s that strange Qiu Zhaodi. Over the years, Ms. Hetian doesn’t know her whereabouts, but she has a premonition that this girl will definitely appear again, perhaps doing something to harm He Jue!

With so many potential dangers, Ms. Hetian must be cautious.

She can’t always let He Jue hide in the small He Village, it wouldn’t be fair to him.

Even if her son doesn’t have any grand ambitions, he should live in a broader, freer space!

Therefore, Ms. Hetian chose the Northwest Prince among many forces, and has been keeping an eye on the Northwest Prince’s moves these years.

This time’s rescue, even without receiving a distress signal from He Jue, Ms. Hetian would have taken the initiative to come.

For the sake of holding tight to the golden leg of the Northwest Prince, the Founding Emperor.

Aside from gaining power, Ms. Hetian also believes that the Northwest Prince is the future emperor, and he must have national fortune on him.

Though not to steal his "Dragon Energy," Ms. Hetian simply wants to bask a little to offset the leads’ Protagonist Halo!

One could say, Ms. Hetian really thought a lot, and her purpose is very simple.

He Village and the child soldiers are something she unintentionally brought about.

She never thought to proclaim herself as king, now she has successfully befriended the Northwest Prince.

As the new dynasty is about to establish, and the world gradually stabilizes, places like He Village that have certain strength no longer need to exist.

However, Ms. Hetian once worried that her son might have other plots and be unwilling to hand over He Village and the child soldiers.

Now, after listening to He Jue’s words, Ms. Hetian feels relieved.

Her son is very smart, understands how to assess the situation, and knows what matters and what doesn’t!

He’s not even fourteen yet, but he already understands the way of choices.

So rational and clear-minded, without suffering abuse, without the support from any plot, He Jue would never become any major villain, let alone meet a tragic end.

Ms. Hetian has a premonition that she should have changed He Jue’s life.

As for the male lead, the female lead, Qiu Zhaodi, He Erniu, and others, they don’t seem so terrifying anymore.

Ms. Hetian thinks about these people silently, unaware that her newly minted Prince Pingliang, this Divine General sent from the heavens, is also being discussed by some people.

"Prince Pingliang? And it’s a woman? What is my daddy thinking?"

The speaker is the Northwest Prince’s Eldest Young Master, Wei Songnian, who stays in the Capital City and is regarded by some household retainers as the future heir.

He appears in his twenties, with a sturdy figure and an icy demeanor, evidently a battle-hardened warrior accustomed to marauding the battlefield.

Back when the Northwest Prince rose in rebellion, Wei Songnian was the vanguard, following his father in eastern and western campaigns and earned great military merits before he was fifteen.

Unfortunately, he’s not of the main lineage, otherwise, the Northwest Prince would have long named him princely heir.

Even so, as a highly meritorious eldest son of a concubine, he holds quite a position in the Northwest Prince’s camp.

Some household retainers are already choosing sides, selecting Wei Songnian as the Eldest Young Master.

"...It’s said this Prince Pingliang has innate divine strength, single-handedly lifting the siege of Ping County."

A strategist-looking person quietly says to the Eldest Young Master.

Outside the hallway, a maid-like person is frowning, sneakily eavesdropping...
