Pei Yan had grown up in the Mei family, so Mrs. Mei was stunned when she heard that something had happened to him.
Like Mei Wanying, Mrs. Mei had also believed Pei Yan was capable of anything, certain that he would eventually ascend to that position.
Pei Yan had just won a major battle. It should have been a moment of boundless glory, a time to use his victory to gain an upper hand on the Crown Prince. No one expected something like this to happen.
With him severely injured, there was no telling how the political landscape would shift.
But no matter how it changed, it was bound to stir up a bloodbath.
The General's old subordinates were in Pei Yan's camp. If he fell, they would all be doomed.
Even Ah Yin might be captured and dragged back by the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince would never allow Ah Yin to have another man's child, especially when that child's father was Pei Yan!
The moment Mrs. Mei considered what he might do, she felt as if her world was about to collapse.
