At this time, Concubine Su's eyes were filled with tears, and she said, "My eldest brother and the Su family have been wronged by me these years."
Concubine Su was full of self-blame. Seeing Su Huai's old look on her face, she felt even more guilty and blamed herself for her incompetence. She obviously had the ability to make the Su family prosperous and rise for generations.
Su Huai seemed to feel the same, "Brother, it's not hard. In the past few years, I have been able to guard my father's inheritance in the frontier. My eldest brother is very satisfied. My father is dedicated to the great cause of the Northern Dynasty. It's just that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't appreciate it."
Speaking of the prince, Concubine Su looked back. She was ordered to return to the capital, but the prince and the princess did not come to greet her. Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart, and her face showed obvious displeasure.
Su Huai naturally understood, because this was the result he wanted, so he added: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing first. I heard that the Crown Princess had fetal contractions..."
When Concubine Su heard this, she became even angrier: "I am his biological mother, so it would be fine if he didn't come to greet him. But today is the anniversary of his grandfather's death, and he did it so hastily. No wonder the second brother said that he was very sad when his father passed away... …”
Su Huai quickly stopped him and whispered: "Sister, don't say that. Be careful that walls have ears. If someone listens to you, it's time to say that people with the surname Su are arrogant."
Su Huai spoke in a weird and sinister tone, but Concubine Su couldn't hear it at all, because Su Rui had already told her about the hardships of the Su family in advance.
Concubine Su felt more and more aggrieved. No matter how much she was a member of the Su family, she was also a concubine and the prince's mother. No matter how the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would still need the support of his own people.
So, she transferred her resentment towards the prince to the princess and said, "No wonder the prince doesn't come to visit me anymore. It's all that bitch Qi Siyun who is causing trouble."
Su Rui suddenly answered: "If you had married Yanran as the princess, Qing'er wouldn't have suffered so much injustice. It's because we, Yanran, were not lucky enough to become the daughter-in-law of the imperial concubine."
Su Yanran is Su Huai's daughter.
"Second brother, what are you talking nonsense about? Shut up." Su Huai scolded him pretendingly.
"What's wrong with getting married? Yanran hasn't married yet because of His Highness the Crown Prince. It's really a hardship for that girl."
Su Rui became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "After all, it's not that the emperor was on guard against our Su family. Back then, my father had been stationed at the border for more than 20 years for the sake of the Northern Dynasties and the Nangong family, fulfilling his duties, but now our Su family's army is about to be destroyed. It’s gone.”
"Even if the imperial concubine is able to return to Beijing this time, it is because of your request to the emperor, eldest brother, that His Majesty reluctantly agreed that the imperial concubine could return to Beijing temporarily. Once the anniversary of my father's death passes, the imperial concubine will be sent away again."
"Brother, how can you bear to see Qing'er locked up in the palace for the rest of her life? Now the prince seems to have recognized the queen as his own mother. It's not worth it for me to take my place."
"Second brother, you are getting more and more presumptuous."
Su Huai pretended to go to close the door quickly. Seeing this, Concubine Su said, "I didn't expect that our Su family would decline because of this. It's all my fault."
"Sister, the emperor wants to weaken the people with the Su surname. How can you blame your sister? That's all. My sister has worked hard along the way. Let's sort it out. Let's go and pay homage to our father first." Su Huai said again.
Concubine Su's face had changed color with anger. She had never fought against the Queen in her whole life. She finally relied on her son to win the battle, but was tricked by the Queen again.
She firmly remembered the incident of being plotted against by the Queen.
As long as she thought about waiting for the prince to ascend the throne, the queen would be the legitimate empress dowager, and enjoy the glory and wealth in the palace, her teeth would itch with hatred.
Instead, he became a piece of fish on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered by others.
