Emperor Ming Yuan continued: "Furthermore, with your intelligence, how could you not know why I betrothed the princess to Leng Si? But you blocked it. You opposed the marriage and prevented me from implementing national policies. In the end, you even held the princess hostage in Qingyu Palace.
, It hurts the princess's appearance. It hurts the crown princess even more. You said you wanted to negotiate terms with me. Does this terms also have something to do with the Su family? You planned every bit of it, not for your children. You said in your mouth and in your heart.
The name is always the Su family, a virtuous concubine, and as a mother, you should be ashamed of it until you die."
"How could I harm the princess?" Concubine Xian shook her head and cried bitterly. Tears fell like rain. Her face was criss-crossed with snot and tears, and she looked indescribably miserable. "Although I held the princess tightly, I had no intention of hurting her.
, I admit that I do think of the Su family in my heart, but Your Majesty, you promote the way of benevolence and filial piety. Isn’t it the first thing to do with filial piety? I, my concubine, am filial. What’s wrong with that?"
"Concubine Xian," Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her. In addition to being sullen, there were also some complicated emotions on his face. The young couple have been together for more than 20 years, and they have feelings for each other. Otherwise, he would not have come to see her today.
When she cried like this, he shook his head, "You are filial, but you have ended up where you are today. Who in the Su family feels sorry for you? Who is heartbroken for you? Ever since the news of your murder of the Queen Mother spread out of the palace, the Su family has
You've been gone for eighty-nine years. Don't you know why they left? You're afraid that the liquidation of your virtuous concubine will be blamed on them. How many shady things have you done together in the past? I'm afraid that today you will be punished.
As long as your filial piety is useful, then your tribe will intercede for you and will not leave. On the contrary, the two children you planned to sacrifice are now grieving for you in the Qiankun Palace. Listen.
Is she crying anymore? She almost died in your hands today, but all you can see is the Su family, can you see them?"
Concubine Xian closed her eyes, tears rolled down her face, and she finally let out a heart-breaking cry, "I am the one who made the mistake."
Emperor Ming Yuan shook his head sadly, "But you will never go back from your mistake!"
"No!" Concubine Xian stamped her feet excitedly, "Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake, and I will never ignore the interests of the prince for the sake of the Su family again. I will no longer care about the Su family. I beg the emperor to forgive me. The prince's biological mother will not be spared."
Death for sin, Your Majesty, please give me a chance."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "I have given you several opportunities to ground you and declare to the public that you are seriously ill. I have been waiting for you to correct yourself. I don't want to make the prince sad except in case of emergency, but you don't cherish it.
You have made many mistakes again and again, even killing the Queen Mother and kidnapping the princess. You have committed an unforgivable crime. Before I came, I had promoted Concubine De as the Imperial Concubine in the Hede Palace. The prince and the princess recognized the Imperial Concubine as their mother. As your biological mother, the palace has no right.
It won’t even be recorded in history books.”
After Emperor Ming Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and left without even looking at her.
"No!" Concubine Xian roared heartbreakingly, furious as thunder, "The prince has a biological mother, why should he recognize Concubine De as his mother? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come back and make it clear that I am not unpardonable.
, I was framed by someone, Concubine De must have bribed Eunuch Zhang to come and talk nonsense to me, Concubine De, you must die a good death!"
"Your Majesty, it's a mother-child scene. Let me meet the prince. Let me meet the prince. Let me say goodbye to him and apologize..."
Emperor Ming Yuan's footsteps stopped outside, and Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "Your Majesty, if the prince sees the virtuous concubine, he may become emotional, but if he is not allowed to see her, it will be a fight between mother and son, and he should explain a few words before his death."
Emperor Ming Yuan was silent for a while. In the palace, Concubine Xian called Yu Wenhao's name heartbreakingly, which made her feel sad.
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his head and looked at the dark sky. The stars were completely gone. He remembered that when Concubine Xian was welcomed into the palace, her innocent face was like that of a young child. He said quietly: "Please come here, Concubine Xian."
Well, presumably, if she really repented, she would have no resentment towards the Crown Princess at all, so just listen outside and report back to me."
Eunuch Mu Ru responded, "Yes!"
Emperor Ming Yuan strode away.
Eunuch Mu Ru personally went to the Qiankun Palace. When Yu Wenhao heard that the emperor wanted Yuan Qing to pass, he subconsciously objected.
Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "Prince, let the princess go. This is the last chance the emperor gives to the wise concubine."
Yu Wenhao was stunned at first. Looking at Eunuch Mu Ru's penetrating eyes, he suddenly understood. He sighed deeply, looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Be careful."
"Prince, don't worry, I will be by your side!" Eunuch Mu Ru said.
Yu Wenhao glanced at Eunuch Mu Ru with complicated eyes. Naturally, he knew what Eunuch Mu Ru meant. Even if Lao Yuan wanted to give his mother and concubine a hint, he couldn't do it because Eunuch Mu Ru was present.
Yu Wenling came over crying and said: "Can you bring something for my mother and concubine who stutters? She has been struggling all day and she didn't even take care of her stuttering."
Eunuch Mu Ru nodded softly, "Okay!"
Yu Wenling was busy, so she asked someone to prepare it, and ran in and out with injuries just to keep an eye on making hot food for Concubine Xian.
The food box was prepared. Eunuch Mu Ru took it and said to Yuan Qing: "Princess, please."
Yuan Qingling looked at Yu Wenhao and felt very uncomfortable. She also understood what Yu Wenhao understood. The emperor just went to see Concubine Xian. If Concubine Xian had a bad attitude, then the emperor would not allow them to meet.
It was because the virtuous concubine's attitude had improved, or she had regrets, that the emperor was extra merciful.
She hated Concubine Xian very much, but the death of Concubine Xian would definitely make Lao Wu sad, so she would rather Concubine Xian live, because even if Concubine Xian lived, the emperor would not let her stay in the palace. After all, they all recognized the emperor.
The concubine is the mother.
She turned back and hugged Yu Wenhao and said, "Don't think too much, don't worry."
Yu Wenhao hugged her back and said in an almost humble pleading tone: "Don't irritate...her!"
Yuan Qingling felt sad and turned around to cry.
Concubine Xian, what did you force him to do?
Yu Wenling kept crying and wanted to chase her out, but Yu Wenhao held her back. She turned around and threw herself into Yu Wenhao's arms, "Fifth brother, what should I do? What should I do?"
Yu Wenhao stroked her hair, his eyes darkened, and murmured: "Everything depends on her."
It was very cold outside. Yuan Qingling shivered when she went out. Eunuch Mu Ru was walking in front and staggered a little. So many things had happened in the past few days and he was very busy.
After leaving the Qiankun Hall, I saw the imperial concubine's carriage outside. The imperial concubine was also standing outside and pacing, as if hesitating whether to come in or not.
Eunuch Mu Ru said to Yuan Qing: "When I came here just now, the imperial concubine was already there."
Yuan Qingling thought for a moment and said, "Father, please wait for me for a moment."
She walked towards the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine also saw her, quickly greeted her, and held her hand.
"Why are you wandering around here?" Yuan Qingling's "mother concubine" was quite easy to pronounce. After all, she knew Concubine De well.
Concubine De sighed and looked at Qiankun Hall, "I know that the princess must be feeling uncomfortable, but she was just in Hede Hall, and I can't persuade you too much. I wanted to come over to accompany you, but I was afraid that it would be inappropriate, so I hesitated to go in.
