Chapter 287

Jiannan Circuit.

Inside the private room of the luxury inn.

Zhangsun Wugou sat on a chair, holding a basket of needlework, weaving clothes stitch by stitch.

Her clumsy appearance suggested she had never done such work before.

This is also easy to understand.

Zhangsun Wugou was the mother of the nation, and before marrying Li Er, she was also a young lady of a prominent family; where would she have done such rough work?

Many parts of her fingers were wrapped in white cloth, and the bloodstains seeping through in some places were still clearly visible.

Those wounds...

Were all caused by Zhangsun Wugou accidentally pricking herself with the needle!

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Changle blinked her dark, bright eyes, her gaze full of curiosity.

"The weather is getting colder, and Mother wants to make a piece of clothing for Qin Mu. This child works hard on government affairs all day and never cherishes his own body."

Zhangsun Wugou did not stop her movements, just revealing a motherly smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Eh?"

"Mother, you are really too good to Brother!"

"Sigh! I don't have such good luck!"

Changle pretended to be disgusted, deliberately sighing to amuse Zhangsun Wugou.

"You dead girl, are you being cheeky with me again? If you are bored, then spend more time with your brother. You should also learn properly; look at you imperial princes and princesses, since..."

"You have been well-read since childhood, and which of your teachers wasn't a world-famous master? And yet?"

"Look at Qin Mu again, he suffered so much hardship since he was a child, how much energy and perseverance must he have used to achieve today's success. You people are just blessed and don't know it." The current Zhangsun Wugou talks about Qin Mu with every breath, having almost made Qin Mu her everything, unable to accommodate anyone else.

"Mother, this is unfair! I am just a girl, how can I compare to Brother? Brother is going to be comparable to the eternal emperor!"

"You should say these things to Brother Qingque and the others."

Changle stuck out her tongue, revealing an innocent expression.

"Sigh! Tai'er and Zhi'er are not material for governing the country, and they don't have this talent either. In the future, if Qin Mu acknowledges his ancestors and returns to the clan, Mother will be satisfied if they can properly help their brother."

Zhangsun Wugou sighed.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother.

Zhangsun Wugou could see at a glance what kind of material the imperial princes and grandsons in the palace were.

Whether it's Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or Li Ke, they have all been pampered since childhood and have never known the suffering of the people.

They spend money lavishly on weekdays and order servants around.

With such breadth of mind and measure, if they become the Emperor of Great Tang in the future, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people of the world?

So!

Qin Mu is absolutely the only candidate for the Emperor of Great Tang!

My child!

Rest assured!

No one can stop you from ascending the throne!

Mother will handle everything for you!

"Mother, it's bad!"

Just as Zhangsun Wugou was pondering, the door was suddenly opened.

Li Xueyan walked in in a hurry, her expression extremely nervous.

"Sister Xueyan, what happened?"

Changle was startled and asked hurriedly.

Zhangsun Wugou also put down her needlework and stood up hurriedly, her whole heart hanging in mid-air.

"Great Tang has already sent troops on an expedition, and the vanguard has already stationed less than fifty miles outside Jiannan Circuit."

"It seems this war is unavoidable."

Li Xueyan said anxiously.

"Mother, this won't do! If they fight, who do we help?"

Changle was also so anxious her small face turned red.

On one side is her brother, on the other is her father.

Helping either side is wrong!

Helping either side is also right!

It is truly a difficult choice.

"Mother, why don't we just show our cards to the Emperor! Tell him that Qin Mu is his own flesh and blood." Li Xueyan was also anxious and afraid in her heart.

Whether it's Li Er or Qin Mu, they are both figures who can shake the world with a flick of their fingers.

The war between father and son...
