War Prisoner Chapter 74

However, Zi Nan only looked at the Empress Dowager and Wanyan Xu awkwardly, only when she saw that everyone was about to burst with impatience did she say, with a voice as small as a mosquito's: "Do the Empress Dowager and the Emperor... do you still remember... remember the second... second Prince?"

Before her voice had even faded, the Empress Dowager had already cried out in alarm: "What? The person you were referring to was none other than him? Since when did he become an accomplished physician? It doesn't matter even if has become a renowned doctor, have you forgotten about the late King's command? It is absolutely forbidden for anybody in the palace to mention him." As she was speaking, this voice of this Empress Dowager, who usually had impeccable manners and was calm, had began to turn sharp and severe. At this turn of events, Zi Nan became too scared to speak again.

Wanyan Xu was also taken aback, but at such a time, he did not care an iota about such things. As long as he could save Su Yi, it didn't matter who he was. Thus, he quickly asked again: "Zi Nan, you said that he... he can cure Su Su..."

Before he could finish, the Empress Dowager interrupted with a harsh voice: "So what if he can cure him, don't tell me you still wish to summon him here? It can't be that you have forgotten your Royal Father's command, or forgotten that he is... he is the shame of our Jin Liao Imperial Family? Your Royal Father was already being merciful when he did not kill him on that day, I [1] forbid you to call him over here."

Wanyan Xu had always shown filial piety and obedience to the Empress Dowager but at this moment he looked straight at her and said gravely: "Mother Empress, if your child the one who is on the verge of death today, will you also refuse to let him come here to save your child?"

The Empress Dowager's face turned white and she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no reason at all to make such an supposition, I do not wish to bother with you now. In any case, you are not allowed to send for that person." So saying, she turned and was about to leave, but she suddenly felt her sleeve being tugged. Looking down, she saw that it was none other than Wanyan Shuo. At this time, the little Crown Prince was crying so much that he found it difficult to speak without choking. He pleaded: "Imperial Grandma, let that person come and save Mother Empress." She was both vexed and flustered, but then she saw that her son had headed straight back to Su Yi's side. Holding his hand tightly, he enunciated each word clearly as he said: "Mother Empress, it's not a supposition, if Su Su leaves the world of mortals and it's sea of bitterness behind, your child will definitely go with him. You can say that your child is being wilful, or even that he is cowardly. Su Su... he is my [2] life" 　

Complex emotions were swirling in the Empress Dowager's eyes as she watched her son; with the cold and unfeeling nature that he had exhibited all throughout his life, she had never expected that in the end, even he could not escape the machinations of that word "love". Just as she was about to harden her heart and say something callous, suddenly, she saw that her grandson had rushed to Wanyan Xu's side and leaning into Su Yi's arms, he cried out: "Imperial Grandma, Imperial Father and Mother Empress are the people who your grandson loves the most, if they are gone, your grandson also does not wish to live anymore. If we can travel the road to Hades together as a family, it will not be so lonely."

This grandson was the light of the Empress Dowager's life and when she heard his words, she couldn't help but to turn pale with fright as if her heart was being gouged out. She quickly said: "Shuo Er, don't say things like that, let Imperial Grandma think for a bit." So saying, she turned to Wanyan Xu and said: "Even if I should agree to this today, but he... he has long considered us to be his enemies, how would he be willing to come and treat your beloved? I'm afraid that he would be happier to watch General Su die and to see you become so grieved that you wish for your own death."
