Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 242

Third-person POV

A few weeks later, Weisheng and his entourage arrived back at the Royal Palace after exploring a few other places that seemed suspicious. Unfortunately, there was still no clue of Hong er’s presence anywhere.

Even the Cursed Land, the place that they thought had the highest chance of finding Hong er was also crossed out from their list. Needless to say, Weisheng was very stressed by the current situation and he was extremely worn-out every time he received the news that Hong er wasn’t in the area that they were searching for.

In Weisheng’s study room, Weisheng was sitting on his throne with several letters spread out on the table in front of him. The letters were sent by the people that participated in searching for Hong er and from generals that were currently engaged in war such as Di Shang and the general in Bei Zhou’s border.

Weisheng became more anxious when Di Shang’s letter wrote that Xu Tingfeng had safely passed the border in Xi An 2 weeks ago and would arrive at Chang An in about 3 weeks which means Xu Tingfeng would reach Chang An at the end of this week as the letter was from 2 weeks ago.

It also said that Xu Tingfeng was very furious and demanded Weisheng’s presence when he arrived at the Royal Palace. Di Shang also mentioned that Bai Huiqing suffered a heavy injury in her eye and was still unconscious when Di Shang met them.

But there was a certain thing that surprised Weisheng, he lifted his eyes to Lu Ping and motioned the letter with his fingers.

“General Di, he doesn’t know about Meiyun’s current state?” Weisheng questioned.

Lu Ping shook his head and sighed pitifully, “At first I thought that Meiyun would wake up in a few days but she didn’t. Therefore I contacted the Di family in Dong Fang region rather than Di Shang so it wouldn’t disrupt his concentration from the war in Xi An. Da Chu truly went all out to get Great General Xu and it is already hard for him to handle the war single-handedly, not to say, it is with soldiers that he never commanded before.

Coincidentally, the Di family was on the way back to Chang An to report the ice tsunami case. I asked them if I should inform General Di regarding Meiyun’s condition, they also said that I don’t need to because of the same reason. And…”

Weisheng narrowed his eyes in suspense, “And?”

“She lost her child.” Lu Ping couldn’t help but sigh again.

“How? Didn’t Shu Zhiruo say that there was nothing wrong with Meiyun?” Weisheng slammed his hand onto the table.

“It is because there was nothing. The Di family doctor checked Meiyun and told everything that Meiyun restricted him to say. The Di family silently mourned and at that time we were in the inspection so we are not informed by this. The pregnancy pulse was gone along with the baby and maybe this is the main reason why they refused to tell General Di. It will definitely affect his performance in battle.” Lu Ping said.

Weisheng widened his eyes in disbelief and his fists trembled from too much force that he put in, ‘She knew that she was pregnant and she sacrificed her child to summon the portal.’

Seeing that the complexion in Weisheng’s face worsened, Lu Ping worriedly went to Weisheng’s side and was about to call a physician when Weisheng’s hand stopped him.

“No need, I am fine. Send the Di family condolences gifts.” Weisheng said with his trembling voice as he hid his eyes with his palm in shame.

‘I killed her child. Everything is my fault, I am so powerless…useless piece of trash.’ Weisheng loathed himself within his heart

Lu Ping stared at Weisheng with a visible confusion on his face, “Yes, Your Majesty Emperor.”

The room was dead silent for a quite while before Weisheng started to ask Lu Ping question again, “Ping An, what do you think about the Seventh Prince?”

(A/N: Lu Ping’s full name is Lu Ping An.)

Lu Ping turned his eyes to the worn-out Weisheng and said with a firm voice, “Your Majesty Emperor, this official thinks that the Seventh Prince didn’t lie.”

“Why do you say so?” Weisheng inquired.

“His expression showed that he said the truth, Your Majesty Emperor know my specialty in reading facial expression right? Although I suspected that the Seventh Prince has a hidden feeling to Her Majesty Empress, I think that he won’t do any harm to Her Majesty Empress. He sees you as his love rival but he still asked for your help.

He is smart but not wise. The maid beside him filled that weakness of him, she is braver, wiser, and think more logically. From the way she speaks, it seems like she looks up to Her Majesty Empress as a hero. Good that he keep her beside him.” Lu Ping explained while organizing the doc.u.ments in Weisheng’s desk.

Weisheng pondered for a while and rose from his seat, “I will leave for a moment.”

The door behind him slammed shut and the guards around him were showering with cold sweat. Weisheng’s mood became worse and worse over the time that they didn’t even dare to look at Weisheng directly in his eyes.

Weisheng made his way to the prince’s residence in Fei Hong Palace. Just as he was about to enter the room, he heard a loud wail blasted from inside. The servants that were around him instantly went pale. In their hearts, they fear that Weisheng was ticked off by the baby’s cries.

But when Weisheng gently opened the door and walked into the room with a calm face, they gaped and stared at Weisheng like it was a whole different person from a few minutes ago. Weisheng had long entered the room but the servants were still standing outside, they snapped out from their daze and quickly followed Weisheng into the room.

The servants inside swiftly gave their greeting to Weisheng, however, Weisheng was one step ahead of them and gestured that they didn’t need to bother as they currently were busy soothing the crying baby.

“What happened?” Weisheng interrogated with his brows furrowed.

He looked at the baby pushing the baby bottle with his tiny hands, even the Jin Momo that was holding him was perplexed as she didn’t know what to do especially with Weisheng’s domineering presence in front of her.

“His Highness Prince Zhang doesn’t want to eat no matter what, Your Majesty Emperor.” Jin Momo said while coaxing the baby to drink his milk at the same time.

Meanwhile, the other baby in Ming Yu’s arms was leisurely drinking her milk whilst watching her brother wailing. Weisheng sighed, he looked for a chair and sat comfortably then he stretched out his arms. Jin Momo carefully laid the baby onto Weisheng’s left arm and handed the baby bottle to him.

Weisheng stared at his son with his menacing crimson-red eyes but it seems like Zhang Wei inherited his father’s stubbornness. He stopped his wailing and fearlessly glared at Weisheng with his blood-red eyes that had a tint of gold in it.

(A/N: Liu Zhang Wei is the baby boy’s full name.)

Weisheng was quite taken aback by his son’s retaliation. Seeing his father was in a daze, Zhang Wei swatted the baby bottle from Weisheng’s hand and caused the baby bottle to crash to the floor.

Tears filled Zhang Wei’s eyes once again and he let out an ear-piercing cry. Jin Momo quickly picked up the baby bottle from the floor and ordered the other maid to make the milk in a new bottle.

Weisheng helplessly stared at his son, ‘Hong er ah, if it is you, what would you do?’

As the image of smiling Hong er appeared in his mind, he took out Hong er’s earrings that he had been keeping from his chest pocket. He waved the two white jade phoenix earrings in front of Zhang Wei and softly called his name.

“Zhang er, guess whose it is?” Weisheng brought the earrings closer to Zhang Wei.
