Chapter 359: Xiang Jian was too hasty and turned against him
Two days later, the emperor and empress returned to the palace.
According to the rules, a reception banquet was held, and the Sixth Prince and others also came into the palace to say hello to the Emperor and Queen and thank them for their hard work.
The emperor was in high spirits and said to everyone with a smile: "This trip to the Eastern Capital was smooth and interesting. It was really refreshing to sit on the boat and look at the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait."
The Queen also said: "The weather was fine and not too hot on the way, which is really a great blessing for Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at everyone present, but Concubine Li was not there, so he asked, "Why is Concubine Li not here?"
"People from Tamamo Palace came early in the morning and said that Concubine Li was not feeling well and could not come to the banquet." The Queen smiled and said, "Why don't Your Majesty go over and have a look in person later."
Everyone didn't say anything, but they all thought that this was probably a trick played by Concubine Li, who wanted to meet the emperor alone.
When the emperor heard this, he only smiled and said nothing. Among the many concubines, he really doted on Concubine Li.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed one after another.
As expected, the emperor went to Yuzao Palace, while Yao Wanyi stayed in the Queen's Palace to talk. The Sixth Prince went to Xianfei's Palace.
"You haven't made Wan Yi unhappy in the past few days, have you? You must coax her. Women rely on coaxing. As a man, it's okay to lower your body, and no one will laugh at it." Concubine Xian taught her son softly,
"For you and for me."
Facing his mother, the sixth prince couldn't help but feel ashamed. Not because of anything else, but simply because he always caused trouble to his mother.
"Sit down! Have a sip of tea. I don't mean to teach you a lesson. In fact, caring will lead to chaos. You know that at my age, my only hope is in you." Concubine Xian sighed and said.
"My son is too ignorant and always makes you worried," the sixth prince said.
"It's right for me to be worried about you. Maybe I owed you something in my previous life. I always hope that you will be well. As long as you are well, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances and suffering." Concubine Xian smiled.
The sixth prince took a sip of tea and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Concubine Xian shook her head helplessly and said, "I know what you want to say. Now there are only two of us, mother and son, in this room, so you don't have to be unable to open your mouth."
The sixth prince blushed a little when his mother told him, but he still had the courage to ask: "Miss Chi...is she okay?"
"Didn't I have someone come out of the palace to tell you a long time ago? I have protected her in front of Wan Yi. Speaking of which, she is a good girl, not a vulgar girl who looks down on herself.
She wanted to die wholeheartedly and didn't even ask for mercy. But I thought that although it would be easy to kill her, you would be sad for the rest of your life."
Hearing what Concubine Xian said, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but feel excited, and he was even more grateful to his mother: "Concubine, you are really... so caring and considerate towards your child..."
"Silly boy, I am your mother! How can I not feel sorry for you? I know you don't like Wanyi, so you had no choice but to marry her. Your heart has always been bitter..." Concubine Xian couldn't help but say this.
She shed tears and said, "Actually, I blame myself all the time. It's all because of my incompetence that my son has no choice but to compromise."
"Concubine, I don't blame you, how can I blame you? The Yao family is really too powerful and they just use their power to bully others." The sixth prince knelt in front of Concubine Xian and hugged him, "It's my son who has no ability!"
Concubine Xian wiped away her tears and said, "I haven't told you the details yet. In order to keep Chi Su, I had to make excuses in front of Wan Yi, making her think that I was interested in her.
You also know the situation at that time, and it was impossible for both of you to escape intact, so I said that we could transfer Chi Su's family back to the capital from Shuzhou and put them under her nose.
In this case, Chi Su will definitely not dare to have second thoughts and will not provoke you again."
"What?!" The Sixth Prince was very anxious after hearing this, "Concubine, if you do this, wouldn't you be putting Chichi Su on the fire? It will be more uncomfortable than killing her."
"I'm not surprised that you think so, but listen to me, will Wanyi let her go if she doesn't come up with conditions?
With the power and style of the Yao family, can the Chi family be saved even if they don't come to the capital?"
The sixth prince was stunned by his words.
Yes, Yao Wanyi is so domineering, how could he let the Chi family go?
She is a madman, a disgusting crazy toad!
Concubine Xian took a breath and then said: "Shuzhou is such a remote and humid place. The Chi family has suffered a lot there. Especially several elders in his family have old injuries on their bodies. I'm afraid they will have to endure it for a few more days."
For years, I couldn’t even save my life.
It is always easier to come back to the capital. Apart from anything else, the climate is always suitable. As long as Wan Yi is coaxed, nothing will happen to them. After all, I have already made an agreement with her. The inside story of this matter
We will never let her parents and the queen know about it, we will only tell her that she bribed Chi Su to work for her, and then she asked her family to return to the capital to enjoy their happiness."
"My mother's plan is far-reaching and thoughtful." After listening to Concubine Xian's detailed analysis, the Sixth Prince also felt that this strategy was feasible, but he immediately thought of Chi Su's temperament, "It's just that Chi Su... I'm afraid she may not be willing to follow it, right?
"
Chi Su is straightforward and stubborn, and would rather break than bend, and he knows this very well.
"That child does have a straightforward temper. I managed to change her attitude after some hard work. In the final analysis, she loves her family and her parents after all." Concubine Xian said, "But having said that, this is only temporary peace.
It is said that if the earthen pot is not broken near the edge of the well, the future will still be full of misfortunes.
As long as our side is slightly less than what the Yao family wants, not only the family but also us will not have a good life. Don’t you remember the things that happened again and again in the past? "
The Sixth Prince clenched his fists. He knew that Concubine Xian was right, and he didn't need Concubine Xian to tell her. He knew it himself.
Yao Wanyi's tyranny, the Queen's suspicion, and the Yao Tai couple's protectiveness made people breathless.
Thinking of the grievances and humiliations he had suffered all along, of having to live in fear every day, and of having to drag down his mother and his beloved woman, the sixth prince's anger almost burned his heart.
In the face of the power of the Yao family, there will never be a step back, and the sky will be brighter. It will always be retreating again and again until there is no way to retreat.
"Mother, I don't want to live such a useless life anymore!" The sixth prince almost chewed up these words and said them, crying every word, "I've had enough meat on the chopping board!"
"Shh!" Concubine Xian covered his mouth in panic, "Are you going crazy?! If these words get out, we won't be able to survive!"
"It's better to die than to live like a coward!" The Sixth Prince didn't want to endure it anymore, "Concubine, I've had enough! Instead of being afraid to show off every day, it's better to fight to the fullest! Anyway, live to the end.
Even if you are a hundred years old, you will die!"
"You...what do you want to do?" Concubine Xian seemed to be frightened by her son.
"Concubine Mother," she knelt there and looked up at Concubine Xian, "let's rebel!"
