Mrs. Mo gently knocked on the study door: "Your Highness, it's my concubine who is here."
After a long time, the prince's slightly hoarse voice came from the other side of the door: "If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
The sarcasm in Mo's eyes became stronger, but her voice became gentler: "I know that His Highness is unhappy. But no matter what, His Highness cannot lock himself in the study all day long without even taking a bite of food.
If I get hurt, I will be even more embarrassed to see my mother."
When Empress Gu was mentioned, the prince finally reacted: "Has the empress sent someone here?"
"Yes, my mother sent my daughter-in-law to the palace to inquire about the situation. I didn't dare to disturb His Highness, so I sent my daughter-in-law away. I came here specifically to discuss the matter with His Highness. In case my mother summons me in person
Your Highness must be mentally prepared when he enters the palace."
What Mo said was quite reserved, but in the ears of the prince, every word pierced his heart.
Yes, there are some things that you can’t hide from even if you want to. You have to face them...
The prince took a deep breath and finally opened the door to the study.
Mrs. Mo was mentally prepared, but when she saw the prince, she was still slightly shocked. However, in just two days, the prince became haggard and haggard. The prince, who originally paid most attention to appearance and demeanor, now had messy hair and red eyes.
, there was some stubble on his chin, and his face was very ugly. At first glance, he looked like a different person.
But Mo's heart couldn't arouse any sympathy or pity. She only felt comfortable and happy. She even deliberately poked the prince's wound: "Your Highness, no matter how sad you are, you can't ruin your body..." said
While still pretending to wipe the corners of his eyes.
The prince was not in the mood to deal with Mrs. Mo at this time, and said casually: "Okay. I know in my heart that it won't be like this in the future. Didn't you say that your mother sent someone here? Tell me the specific story."
Mrs. Mo was extremely happy. She didn't need to add any embarrassment, she just had to learn from the conversation she had with her daughter-in-law in the afternoon to the prince, which was equivalent to poking the prince's bleeding wound with a sharp blade again.
The prince's expression changed again and again after hearing this, and after a long time he said, "Why did you tell your mother all these truths?" Given Queen Gu's temperament, she would never let Shen Qiuyu off easily after knowing this.
Mrs. Mo secretly sneered in her heart. Until now, the prince still had a trace of pity for that bitch. Fortunately, she was one step ahead and had revealed everything. Now even if the prince wanted to protect the bitch, it was impossible.
"Your Highness said that, are you suspicious of me again?" Mo's acting skills are also top-notch. Her eye circles turned red: "Since the Queen Mother heard the news and sent someone to ask, how could I dare to hide even a word? I also said
To tell you the truth, even if His Highness is unhappy, I still hope that His Highness will punish Concubine Shen severely over this matter. Otherwise, how can I convince all the female relatives in the house? If His Highness lets her go easily, once this case is opened, in the future
I don’t know how many more disturbances will be caused in this palace. Your Highness is the current crown prince, and he will definitely be the emperor in the future. There is no small matter in the Tian family, and family affairs are also state affairs. To cause such scandals is not only a humiliation to His Highness, but also an insult to the emperor.
The humiliation of the Prince's Palace. What qualifications does such a woman have to be a concubine in the future..."
These words were indeed very direct and harsh, but Mo stood up and understood every word correctly.
The prince knows the truth of this better than anyone else. It is precisely because he knows it that he is even more angry and depressed.
It was true that he was angry and sad, but no matter how angry or sad he was, he had no intention of executing Shen Qiuyu. He locked Shen Qiuyu in the farm. Firstly, it was punishment, and secondly, he wanted to wait for a year and a half for things to calm down. Afterwards, he made plans to secretly bring Shen Qiuyu back. But Mo's words had already reached this point. The possibility of him trying to whitewash the peace was obviously gone. He still had to be prepared to deal with the anger from his mother... ..
Just as he was thinking about it, there was another knock on the door: "Your Highness. Someone from the palace has sent an oral instruction. The Queen has summoned Your Highness to come to the palace immediately to have an audience!"
...
Mrs. Mo didn't expect Queen Gu's reaction to come so quickly. She was stunned for a moment, and then felt secretly happy in her heart.
It seems that Queen Gu is really angry this time. It is true that the prince is soft-hearted and affectionate, but Queen Gu is not like that. When it comes to being ruthless and decisive in killing, Queen Gu is definitely a hero among women. I don’t know what Queen Gu is planning. How to deal with Shen Qiuyu's decline!
Mrs. Mo watched the prince's expression change with almost joy, and then said with a pretense of worry: "The reason why the mother has urgently summoned His Highness to the palace must be for the matter of Concubine Shen. Your Highness must have thought about it and come up with an idea. "
The prince didn't have the time to discuss this with Mr. Mo. He casually said yes and quickly left the study.
...
They rode horseback all the way to the palace, and then got on the chariot to Fengyi Palace. The prince's mood was so complicated that it does not need to be described in detail. However, when he saw Queen Gu, the prince had calmed down a lot, at least on the surface. It seems that he is still calm: "My son, I have met my mother."
Before coming, the prince had tidied up and tried his best to look better. Unfortunately, the effect was very little. When Queen Gu saw the prince's haggard and thin face, all the suppressed anger in her heart came out: "Why are you here alone? Where is that bitch Shen Qiuyu?"
Of course, the prince was familiar with Queen Gu's temper. When he heard these words, his heart suddenly shivered and he immediately showed an angry expression: "That bitch dared to deceive me. I have already sent him to the farm and locked him up. Without my instructions. , she will never leave the farm in her life."
But these words were not enough to calm Queen Gu's anger. She said coldly: "It's too easy to lock her up like this. If you are too soft-hearted to do anything, leave this evil person to me. Tomorrow I will send someone to Go give her a ride!"
The prince was startled and reflexively shouted: "Mother..."
"What, you can't bear to part with her?" Queen Gu raised her eyebrows with a cold look on her face: "What else do you have to remember such a woman?"
The prince opened his mouth, but no word came out.
Queen Gu's eyes gradually became sharper: "I didn't agree with it back then, but you were like a ghost who insisted on marrying her. Because of Shen Qiuyu, you and Xinian almost turned against each other. You also had an affair with your maternal grandfather's family. There are fewer contacts. If Xinian hadn't turned around, not only would you not have this powerful helper, but you would also have an enemy. But look, what has she brought to you since marrying Shen Qiuyu? Everyone knows that you neglect your wife and only favor your concubines. After so many years, she has not even given birth to a daughter, let alone a son. To put it bluntly, she is just a piece of dry land that cannot grow crops. If she I will serve you honestly and peacefully, and it’s not that I can’t tolerate her. But now she even dares to do such things as borrowing her own child. If you hadn’t noticed in time, her conspiracy would have been successful."
Speaking of this, Queen Gu's eyes became colder: "It's understandable that she wants a son, but here she is deliberately trying to hide the truth and toy with you, which shows that she is very ambitious and has bad intentions. I will never tolerate such a person.
Continue to stay with you."
If such an ambitious woman really becomes a queen, it will definitely be a disaster for the harem and the cause of turmoil in the court. Such a person must not be allowed to stay!
The prince's mind was in turmoil, but he refused to let go no matter what: "Mother, she did something wrong and deserves to be punished, but the crime is not worthy of death. Let's spare her life!"
Queen Gu glared at her with hatred: "Why are you still keeping her? You shouldn't be planning to take her back to your house in a year and a half!"
...The prince denied with a slight guilt: "It's nothing, I just remember that she has been with me for so many years, so I can't bear it."
As much as the prince knew his mother, Queen Gu knew her son as well. Seeing his appearance, she was so angry. Her tone suddenly became tough: "If you can't bear it, you are leaving a curse for yourself. If you
If I really want to take her to my side, there will definitely be a day of unrest in the future. Rather than wait until the day when I regret it in the future, it is better to avoid future troubles forever!"
The prince looked a little pale and was stunned for a long time. He suddenly made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Mother, I know you did this for my own good. But...she was my beloved woman after all. No matter what,
, I can't just watch her die. I also beg my mother to spare her life!" As he said that, he knelt down.
Queen Gu was also shocked by the prince's actions, and then said angrily: "There is gold under my knees! You kneel down for a woman, get up!"
The prince gritted his teeth and whispered: "Mother, I promise you that from today on, I will never see her again. I beg my mother to spare her life and let her live on the farm!"
Queen Gu narrowed her eyes: "Do you really promise never to see her again?"
The prince took a deep breath and nodded.
Queen Gu's eyes flashed and she finally said: "Okay, since you are so determined, then I will let her live for now. You also know what my temper is like. If I knew that you were going to see her in private, I would never
I will show mercy again!”
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded. No matter what, as long as she can save one life...
Queen Gu's anger subsided a little, and she couldn't bear it when she saw that he was still kneeling on the ground: "What are you still kneeling on? Get up and talk quickly."
The prince then stood up.
Queen Gu stared at him for a long time, and then sighed: "I really don't know how I gave birth to a son like you." To put it nicely, he values love and justice, and to put it bluntly, he is kind and soft-hearted. Being a prince with such a temperament doesn't matter.
But being a prince and becoming the king of a country in the future is a bit weak and can be bullied...
The prince said with a little shame: "I let my mother down."
Queen Gu sighed again, but didn't say anything else. She just said lightly: "Just don't forget what you said." (To be continued...)
ps: I think this ending is more painful for Shen Qiuyu than death!
