Everyone has their own love affair, and the first person who attracted Concubine De was her cousin, Ji Boping, a famous talent in the capital. This second son of the Ji family's direct lineage, he is talented and talented, and is the favorite of many rich ladies in the capital.
At that time, Concubine De was just a concubine from a branch of the Ji family. Her status was unsupportable, which destined her to never become Ji Boping's head wife.
But even so, she still loved Ji Boping silently for three years. From the first time she saw him when she was fourteen, her heart was tied to him. She didn't know that he
He didn't know her feelings, but he was very kind to her. Every time she was scolded and punished at home, he would visit her secretly and bring her the best medicine for sores.
Later, when he became the top scholar in high school, she only felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther, but he was as good to her as ever, and never disliked him because of her status as a concubine. He even mentioned that he would wait for a while.
After he established a foothold in the court, he wanted to marry her. Although he knew that she would never become his wife, she would be satisfied as long as she could stay by his side.
However, she did not expect that the world would be unpredictable. Ji Mengxian, a direct descendant of the Ji family, missed the draft and entered the palace. She even met the emperor in private and married to Linyang. This move shocked everyone, including her. The Ji family's power was not what it used to be.
, without Ji Mengxian, a woman who could have been firmly in the harem, but because of her incident, the prince who wanted to marry her at that time was very angry, and the situation became more and more serious.
Ji Boping would still come to see her occasionally, but the sadness on his brows could not be erased. She was very anxious, but she was helpless that she could not share it with him. Until an opportunity fell in front of her, the Ji family always wanted to
When a woman enters the palace, if the direct line does not have a daughter, she will choose from the side line, and she was selected from the screen and became the girl that the Ji family was going to send to the palace. He came to her in a hurry and asked her to refuse, but what he saw was her
Sitting safely in the red sedan that entered the palace, he thought she was greedy for glory and wealth, but in fact she was just an infatuated woman who wanted to share the burden with the one she loved.
What happened later was very simple. They were all the emperor's entourage when he went out for the fortress. They couldn't bear the longing for each other and had a physical relationship. At that time, she had not been intimate with the emperor for a long time, because in the eyes of the emperor
She was just a woman who came to the palace to replace Ji Mengxian. Every time he saw her, he seemed to see the cruel Mengxian, so he stopped going to her palace later, but he didn't expect that she was pregnant. This news made her
She almost collapsed. She knew that she should not have let this child be born, but she was really reluctant to let it go, so she tricked the emperor into coming to his palace. After a night of lingering, she safely let people know that she was pregnant.
Watching the child grow up little by little, Concubine De never thought that the emperor would know about it. She didn't even know when he knew about it. She just stood there and let others drag her away. She died.
Staring at the emperor, she still didn't believe that this gentle man had already known that Zi Jie was not his son? But why did he never tell her, and even gave her the illusion that he would treat the prince as his own son?
to her son, the son of her and Ji Boping.
In fact, everyone in the room heard these words, especially Qi Zijie. He was stunned and felt as if cold water had been poured on his whole body. He felt a coldness coming up from the soles of his feet. He had to clench his fists to
To prevent himself from falling, he trembled, and even his voice was broken: "Whose son am I? Father, am I not your son?"
Emperor Ling never thought of telling this matter in front of him. Although this was not his son, at least he had many years of father-son relationship. Looking at his expression as if he had collapsed, it would be a lie to say he didn't feel sad.
"So, Father, you never hugged me, never looked at me, even if I became so cruel, you never stopped me, because I am not your son, right?" Qi Zijie shouted loudly, as if he wanted to put aside all the years of unwillingness.
They all yelled out.
Who said that the fifth prince was a heartless and vicious man? In fact, he was just a son who did not get the true care of his father. He did many wrong things and thought that his father would punish him and teach him like an ordinary father.
, but he never did, and just watched what he did with a cold eye.
"Father, am I your son? Please tell me." Qi Zijie has always been domineering and arrogant. He has never begged in such a low voice. He knelt in front of Emperor Ling's bed and tears finally poured out.
It is said that a man will not shed tears easily, but as everyone knows, it is just that he has not yet reached the depth of love.
"Send him away." Emperor Ling's voice was full of tiredness. As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in and forced Qi Ziyan out. He screamed and struggled, but they had no choice but to tap his mute point and take him away.
.
There was another awkward silence. Dongfang Ye and Qi Ziyan both tacitly agreed not to speak. They both looked at their shoes in silence.
What happened today was a huge shock to them all, especially Qi Ziyan. It wasn't until he saw this scene that he suddenly understood many things. He thought about it silently, as if his father didn't even think about it when he was usually making trouble.
If you pay too much attention to him, does it mean... that he is not the father's biological child?
He silently and cautiously raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Ling Emperor. Seeing that he noticed that his eyes had turned around, he immediately looked away quickly, but his heart became entangled.
"You are my son...although I really don't want to admit that I have such an uneducated son like you." The emperor seemed to have guessed what his son was thinking. Seeing his hesitation and entanglement, he simply spoke for him.
Because of these two sentences, the atmosphere relaxed a little. In fact, the most embarrassing thing was Dongfang Ye. He was not from the royal family, but he broke the emperor's scandal. He always felt like he was being plotted. After all, he often knew that more and more people were involved in the scandal.
The more things happen, the harder it is to escape.
"I have known Concubine De's thoughts for a long time, but I didn't expect that she would really dare to take action." Emperor Ling's meaning was very clear. He really knew who poisoned her, and was not just making up some lies.
"How did the emperor know?" Dongfang Ye frowned. He and Qi Ziyan had been investigating for a long time but found nothing. The emperor had just woken up, how did he know?
"Because the poison was hidden in her elixir." He did know that she had hidden the poison, but he didn't expect that she would dare to poison him and even bring the queen along with her. Her cruelty was beyond him.
Unexpected.
"Empress De Fei is going to..." Dongfang Ye paused and then changed the subject, "Lu Ming said that if it had been an hour later, the emperor would have been poisoned and he would have died."
