Emperor Ming Yuan continued: "Furthermore, with your intelligence, how could you not know why I betrothed the princess to Leng Si?
But you stood in the way, opposed the marriage, and prevented me from implementing national policies. In the end, you even took the princess hostage in Qingyu Palace, hurting the princess's appearance and even hurting the princess. You said you wanted to negotiate terms with me. Are these terms consistent with those of the Su family?
related?
Every detail of your plan is not for your children. What you always think about in your mouth and heart is the Su family. You are a good concubine and 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 falling like rain. Her face was crisscrossed with snot and tears. She was indescribably miserable and pitiful. "Although I have clamped down on the princess, I didn't mean to hurt her. I admitted that I was thinking about it in my heart."
Su family, your Majesty, when you implement the principles of benevolence and filial piety, don’t you mean to put filial piety first?
What's wrong with being a filial concubine?"
"Xian Fei," Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her, his face was not only sulky, but also had some complicated emotions. 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 and said, "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 been gone for eighty-nine years. Don't you know why they left?
I'm 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 retribution will be on your head today. As long as your filial piety is useful, then your people will intercede for you and will not leave. On the contrary, the two children you planned to sacrifice will now
I am grieving for you in the Qiankun Palace. Have you heard Ling'er's cry?
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 heartbreaking cry, "I was wrong."
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, and the prince's biological mother will not die for her crime."
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 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 his biological mother, why should he recognize Concubine De as his mother?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come back and speak clearly. My concubine is not unforgivable. I was framed. Concubine De must have bribed Eunuch Zhang to come and talk nonsense to me. Concubine De, you will not die well.
!”
"Your Majesty, it's a mother-son affair. Let me meet the prince. Let me meet the prince. Let me say goodbye to him and apologize..." Emperor Ming Yuan stopped outside. Eunuch Mu Ru
He 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 matter of 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 concubine to stutter?
After struggling all day long, she didn't even bother to stutter."
Eunuch Mu Ru nodded softly, "Okay!"
Yu Wenling was busy so she asked someone to prepare it, and ran in and out with her injuries just to keep an eye on making hot food for Concubine Xian.
The food box was prepared, and 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 was pulled by Yu Wenhao. She turned around and threw herself into Yu Wenhao's arms, "Fifth brother, what should I do?
what to 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 is the mother-in-law lingering here?"
Yuan Qingling's mother-in-law's name was quite smooth. After all, she was familiar with Concubine De.
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 her 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.
