章 381: The Bitter Third Prince

The Third Prince had spent over a month in the care of the Flying Cloud Tribe, and his health had considerably improved. At the behest of the Emperor, arrangements were made to retrieve him and bring him back to the palace.

When reflecting on the Third Prince's early life, it was apparent that he had faced considerable challenges. His mother, Imperial Concubine Chen, had been the young mistress of the General's residence. During the Emperor's time as Crown Prince, she had held the position of secondary consort.

Upon the Emperor's ascension to the throne, the Crown Princess Consort became the Empress, and Imperial Concubine Chen was granted the title of Noble Consort. However, unlike other alluring beauties, Imperial Concubine Chen had a more masculine and straightforward demeanor. She didn't employ subtle charms, and, in any case, she did not fit the Emperor's preferences.
