The progress of the Queen's investigation was reported to the Emperor by dedicated personnel. Some concubines who were favored and arrogant wanted to come to the Emperor to complain, but they were blocked by the Emperor saying, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?" He didn't have the slightest idea now.
His mind was on this matter. He knew the Queen's ability, so naturally he didn't need to worry too much.
What he is worried about now is Liu Yun. Chi Mo came to the imperial study once and told him about Liu Yun's situation. He was finally rescued. As for whether the child will be okay, he can only leave it to fate. He won't know until he is born.
, but no matter what, it is impossible for Liu Yun to not want this child.
Chi Mo also said something about Liu Yun's identity. When the late emperor asked him to follow him to Linyang, he meant to create a group of people to protect Liu Yun, but Ji Mengxian meant not to let her know about these things.
Chi Mo also knew what she was thinking, so he complied with her wishes and did not let Liu Yun know about their existence until she passed away. If she hadn't been sensitive later, Yu Chen would not have given her the full scoop so quickly.
The person who could really give the emperor the answer finally arrived in the capital on the fourth day. Mu Qingyang now had an official position. The emperor was very anxious to summon him to the capital this time. No one could give him the answer. He only said that the emperor
He was asked to go to the capital immediately. He heard that the person who came to deliver the message had exhausted several fast horses, so he understood that the situation was serious. Although he did not know what it was, he followed the guards and hurried to the capital.
When he arrived at the palace with a tired look on his face, there were actually the emperor's guards waiting for him at the entrance of the palace. What surprised him most was that he was allowed to ride straight into the palace together without dismounting. What an incredible thing, even if the general entered
The palace also needs to dismount.
"Your Majesty, Master Mu has arrived." A calm voice sounded outside the royal study.
The emperor, who was reading the memorial at his desk, paused for a moment. After a while, he gave a deep command: "Come in."
Mu Qingyang entered the Imperial Study Room for the first time and hurriedly bowed, but did not hear the emperor asking him to get up. He couldn't help but secretly wonder what happened.
"Get up." As he spoke, the emperor had already stood in front of Mu Qingyang, looking him up and down with eagle-like eyes. This merchant was a bit beyond his expectation. He didn't have much copper odor on his body, but there was still a few...
He was so gentle and elegant, it was no wonder that Ji Mengxian chose him. Even though the woman chose a merchant, she still chose the one she thought was the best choice among the worst.
"Was Mengxian already pregnant when she married you?" Ling Emperor might have made insinuations at ordinary times, but at this time he had no intention of being tactful. He just wanted to know the answer right away, and he would have known this early.
That’s a definite answer.
Hearing these words, Mu Qingyang was shocked and knelt down suddenly, but remained silent.
"Is Liuyun your daughter? Say." The so-called Long Yan was furious was nothing more than that.
Mu Qingyang was not an inexperienced person, but facing the emperor's anger, there was an unspeakable bitterness in his heart, but he never spoke.
"Liu Yun...is my daughter, right?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor already understood that silence is the best answer.
"She dared to deceive me." Emperor Ling turned around and punched the mahogany shelf hard. The shelf fell down and the priceless jade items on it were shattered to pieces.
"She didn't." Mu Qingyang couldn't help but retort for Mengxian, and regretted it after saying it. He already understood in his heart that since the emperor dared to ask this, he must know everything. Even if he didn't say anything, it would be useless.
Yes.
"My daughter..." Emperor Ling was trembling and speechless.
Mu Qingyang sighed and finally spoke: "When she came to Linyang, she didn't know she was pregnant. If she had known, she wouldn't have married Wei Chen. On the day of the wedding, she said she was having her period.
, we just sleep with our clothes on."
Listening to Mu Qingyang mentioning their wedding night, Emperor Ling felt sour in his heart.
"Not many days after getting married, she came to Wei Chen and asked Wei Chen to divorce her." Speaking of this matter, Mu Qingyang felt bitterness in his heart. He married such a beautiful woman, even if he couldn't touch her, he could only look at her.
, he would not let her go, he paused and continued, "She told Wei Chen that she was pregnant."
"She really..." It's one thing to know it deep down, but it's another thing to actually hear Mu Qingyang say it face to face. Emperor Ling only felt that a place in his heart was broken. He once hated Ji Mengxian's righteousness.
He thought that she had to leave Linyang City because of the Ji family. He thought that the late emperor used the Ji family to threaten her. He had hated her for many years and missed her for so many years. Only now did he realize that this woman had endured so much for him.
"The emperor is also a man. You should know that no one can say no to such a woman. She cried very sadly. That was the only time she cried in front of Wei Chen. At that time, Wei Chen made an oath in his heart, no matter what
Whoever this child belongs to will raise her as their own." After Mu Qingyang said this, he sighed heavily, "Out of respect for her, Wei Chen has never sent anyone to check the leakage.
She didn't tell Wei Chen who Yun's biological father was until the eve of her death, and also told Wei Chen that he must not tell Liu Yun, and let this matter be buried deep in the ground with her."
"How did she die? Did she really die of illness?" Ling Di asked again with his back on his back.
Mu Qingyang shook her head: "The doctor said she was too worried. She was born prematurely when she gave birth to Yuchen, and her health has been not good. Later... she was thinking about things in the capital and Ji's family, and her body kept relapsing.
"Furthermore, until the year of her death, members of the Ji family came to Yangcheng to visit relatives. After they left, her health became worse and worse, and she passed away not long after."
Regarding the Ji family, Emperor Ling no longer wanted to ask any more questions. He pondered for a while before asking: "You..."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor doesn't know what kind of woman she is? Even though she is married to a minor minister, she is still ruthless in keeping the Emperor's integrity." Speaking of this, Mu Qingyang silently revealed her bitterness.
In his heart, Ji Mengxian is a goddess-like existence. Even if she marries him, if she doesn't want to, he will naturally not force her. He truly loves her, even if this woman's heart has long been left unknown.
Somewhere in the name of her, he was still carefully accompanying her.
"Then Yuchen..." After hearing his words, Emperor Ling's heart moved, and he naturally understood what Mu Qingyang meant by observing the rules.
"That was the only time when Weichen was drunk, and it was God's mercy. Later, Yuchen came. Just because of Yuchen, her body collapsed. If she had known that this would happen, Weichen... was
I will never force him." Mu Qingyang has never said these things to anyone. For a man, such things are not honorable.
Emperor Ling no longer knew how he should feel when facing Mu Qingyang. This man guarded the woman he loved but could not get her. Mu Qingyang like this made Emperor Ling feel admiration in his heart.
.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to feel sorry for Wei Chen. In Wei Chen's heart, being able to stay by Meng Xian's side is already the happiest thing." He has many women, and he once thought that Meng Xian would naturally fall in love with him as time goes by.
He even thought that taking a concubine would make Mengxian jealous, but later he realized that it was just wishful thinking on his part, and then he peacefully guarded her.
As long as she doesn't think about leaving, it doesn't matter what he does.
"They are all fools...a group of fools..." The corners of the eyes of the aloof Emperor Ling were actually slightly moist.
