Mu Xuechu showed no fear in the face of Yuan Hao's rebuke: "Your Majesty, your conscience won't hurt if you say this? Sister Yue is my daughter, how could I harm her?
Could it be that Sister Yue's offer of marriage to His Majesty the Crown Prince was sincere? Just like today, you know that Sister Yue is my heart and soul, but you want to send her to accompany the Crown Prince, isn't it just to blackmail me?
You thought Sister Yue was the daughter of Shen Chi and I, so you wanted to use Sister Yue to tease me. Now the truth has been revealed, neither Sister Yue nor Brother Rui is Shen Chi's child, but His Majesty's. Your Majesty should be satisfied, right?"
Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment. Although he had doubts about Brother Rui's life experience before, it had never been confirmed. But now that he heard Mu Xuechu admit it in person, he knew it was true.
At the same time as he was surprised, he was also a little proud. Mu Xuechu had not given birth to a boy and a half girl for him even after being married to Shen Chi for many years, but she still had to raise a child for him.
What if Mu Rufeng didn't want to send his sister to the palace, but instead married a poor student? In the end, didn't his sister become his woman and bear children for him?
"I know that I have made you feel wronged. Don't worry, since you know that Sister Yue is my daughter, I will not treat her badly. Just stop crying."
When Yuan Hao saw Mu Xuechu's eyes turning red, he couldn't bear it, so he went to coax her.
When he was young and frivolous, he had a deep love for Mu Xuechu, and he sincerely wanted to take her as his concubine and make her the most noble woman in the world.
However, Mu Rufeng was ignorant and insisted on preventing his sister from entering the palace and becoming a concubine with the imperial edict that the Mu family's daughters could marry freely.
He did not believe that anyone would dare to marry Mu Xuechu without fear of his majesty, but he did not expect that Shen Chi would be so bold as to agree to the marriage.
At that time, he really wanted to kill Shen Chi, but if Shen Chi died, he would only be suspected, so he could only endure it.
Later, he took advantage of the palace banquet to bring Mu Xuechu over, thinking that she was marrying involuntarily and had no good feelings for Shen Chi.
But he was wrong. He could clearly see that Mu Xuechu was satisfied with the marriage. It was clear that this woman belonged to him, not that despicable person Shen Chi.
Jealousy made him lose his mind. He finally got her in that hall and vented his anger on her more than once.
He threatened the lives of the Mu family and Shen Chi, whom Mu Xuechu cared about most, and forced her to submit obediently.
It's just that he didn't dare to be too presumptuous just after he ascended the throne. He could have kept Mu Xuechu in the capital, and like all the women he had conquered before, he could sleep with them anytime and anywhere.
But he was afraid that Mu Rufeng would find out and lose more than he gained.
So he was cruel and sent Chenchi to a remote place, out of sight but out of sight.
Later, he heard that Shen Wanyue gave birth to a daughter in Shu County, but the child's birth date did not coincide with the time when he and Mu Xuechu were together, so he thought that the child was Shen Chi's.
This undoubtedly put a thorn in his heart and became his regret.
Later, he traveled south and lived in Shen Mansion, and finally got a taste of Mu Xuechu as he wished. He was really happy in those days.
Especially on the night of farewell, he deliberately got Shen Chi drunk and had an affair with his wife in front of him. Watching Shen Chi being kept in the dark, this gave him an indescribable feeling of pleasure.
Not long after he returned to Beijing, he heard that Mu Xuechu was pregnant, so he suspected that it was his child. He even sent someone to find out when she would give birth. When the time matched, he felt that he had made up for the regrets he had felt for many years.
How could the woman he conquered not give him a child?
But he didn't expect that Mu Xuechu would actually give birth to two children for him. He felt a little ashamed of her, so he gradually had some thoughts and said: "Now that you have reconciled with Shen Chi, I will find a way to welcome you into the palace, so that
Sister Yue and Brother Rui will be my prince and princess in an upright manner."
