"Shen'er, I haven't met your biological mother soon." Emperor Kang Yuan changed his cold attitude and softened his attitude. He looked at Mo Zeshen with a rare look of love.
But Mo Zeshen was uncharacteristically cold-faced and did not respond to Emperor Kang Yuan's words.
The concubine Xian on the side was crying sadly. She wanted to reach out and touch Mo Zeshen's face, but Mo Zeshen simply stepped back and hid.
She was stunned immediately, then covered her mouth with her hands and whispered: "I know you can't accept it for a while, let's take it slow."
"Have you always known?" Mo Zeshen looked at her with mocking eyes, then turned to look at Lu Qingtang, "You also hid it from me!"
Lu Qingtang's heart jumped suddenly, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
She admitted that she hid this matter from him, but she couldn't say anything in advance if she was unsure. First, she didn't know how to explain it. Who can accept such a fact all at once, not to mention that no one would believe such secrets of the palace.
Secondly, Concubine Ning's power is too great. Unless she is uprooted, what will happen even if the mother and son recognize each other. Lu Qingtang was also afraid that she would bite the virtuous concubine back, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
And thirdly, this incident happened too suddenly, and Lu Qingtang also made a temporary decision, taking advantage of this, which would make it impossible for Concubine Ning to make a comeback.
She thought that Mo Zechenhui couldn't adapt for a while, and guessed that the two might have a big fight because of this, and she was prepared to be blamed. But once faced with it, she felt inexplicably aggrieved.
She was innocent from the beginning to the end of this matter. It was not for him that she did such thankless things, otherwise she would not be stared at and bitten by Concubine Ning.
Seeing Lu Qingtang lowering his head, looking like he had made a mistake, Xianbi immediately stepped forward to protect her behind her. Tongmo Zeshen explained: "Shen'er, this matter is mine. It's my fault. I asked Tangtang to hide it. Yours. My mother is useless. I dare not take the initiative to recognize you, for fear that this matter will affect you. Don’t blame her. If you want to blame, blame me. "
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Mo Zeshen's arm, and then Mo Zeshen pushed her away as if she was electrocuted.
His eyes were red and he yelled at the virtuous concubine, "Don't touch me!"
At this moment, he was like an angry beast, ready to eat people at any time. Xianbi was obviously frightened by him. Her hands were still hanging in the air and her whole body was frozen in place. For a moment, tears welled up from her eyes like springs, and she was now like an abandoned child.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingtang immediately stepped forward and hugged her, gently stroking her back with his hands, "Mother-in-law, give him some time, don't be in a hurry, take your time."
After saying that, she sighed and looked up at Mo Zeshen.
Mo Zeshen's eyes were full of guilt. He took back the hand that had just pushed the concubine away and walked out without looking back, not even caring about the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
Feeling Xian's shoulders tremble slightly in her arms, she leaned on Lu Qingtang's shoulders and cried softly. She cried miserably, seemingly hurt by Mo Zeshen's actions.
At this time, Mo Mo, who had been silent until now, cried "Wow".
Lu Qingtang quickly let go of Xianbi, picked up Mo Mo, and asked her in a low voice what was wrong.
Mo Mo wiped her tears with her chubby hands, and then continued to cry. While crying, she said, "Dad doesn't want me anymore... he doesn't want me anymore..."
"How could it happen? Daddy went out to take a breath. It's too stuffy here. Daddy will be back soon." Lu Qingtang explained to Mo Mo while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Mo Mo continued to cry here, and Mo Bao in Kou Dan's arms also started crying, "Dad doesn't want me anymore... I want dad..."
Listening to the cries of the two children, Lu Qingtang's heart felt sour for a moment, his eyes also heated up, and tears fell out unsatisfactorily.
She suddenly felt aggrieved. Everything she did was just causing trouble in the eyes of others.
The cry of the two babies resounded throughout the hall, making the already depressing atmosphere even more irritable.
But luckily for Mo Zeyuan, he immediately stepped forward to hold Mo Bao in his arms and coax him, holding fruit snacks and the jade pendant on his body.
After a while, the two babies became quiet and heard Emperor Kang Yuan give an order again.
He asked Eunuch Xu to take Concubine Ning back for detailed interrogation, and asked Concubine Xian to stay and narrate what happened, so Lu Qingtang and the Queen withdrew from the hall.
Lu Qingtang thanked Mo Zeyuan with a grateful face, "Thank you just now, otherwise I would have been tortured to death by two children."
"Fourth sister-in-law is serious. This is also my little nephew. Naturally, I have the obligation to help take care of him." Mo Zeyuan smiled at her.
The queen on the side sighed, and then said to Lu Qingtang: "Tangtang, go back and have a good time talking to Shen'er. Speak slowly and don't quarrel together. No one wants this. I understand if you don't say it. Shen'er is also a A sensible child, he will figure it out.”
"Thank you, Queen, for your advice." Lu Qingtang bowed to the Queen.
When they walked out of Lingquan Temple, they saw Lu Qingyue beaten and covered in blood from a distance, and Lu Huaian and his wife were collecting the body of their precious daughter.
The temple is the place of Buddha and it is not suitable to kill animals, so Eunuch Xu asked the young eunuch to take Lu Qingyue outside the temple and kill her.
Lu Qingyue, who was already seriously ill, could not withstand the sticks of the young eunuchs. She was beaten to death alive.
Lu Huaian covered Lu Qingyue with a white cloth, her hunched look seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
The Wang family on the side was crying so hard that she asked Lu Huaian to avenge her daughter. Seeing her shouting about beating and killing, Lu Qingtang immediately stopped the carriage.
She opened the curtain and said to Lu Huaian and his wife, "Aren't these General Lu and Mrs. Lu? How come they have time to come to Lingquan Temple to offer incense?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the blood-stained shroud and continued: "I almost forgot that your daughter framed this princess, and your majesty had her beaten to death with sticks. My memory is very poor. , it seems that it needs to be taken good care of."
After hearing what Lu Qingtang said, Mrs. Wang immediately yelled at her, "Lu Qingtang, you bitch, you killed my daughter, and I will make you pay with your life!"
Lu Qingtang looked at her ferocious look and couldn't help laughing, "Mrs. Lu, you should think about yourself first. Framing the imperial concubine is a serious crime. Go back to the general's palace and wait for the order, so as not to be blamed for another crime."
"You!" Mrs. Wang immediately pointed her finger at her and said angrily, "You are just as despicable as your mother. We are both born despicable!"
Looking at her red eyes, Lu Qingtang was not angry at all. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Mrs. Lu, please be careful, if you don't want to live anymore, don't drag down the whole family, and have some moral integrity. Don't forget that you are still alive." I have a son."
Lu Qingtang's words made Wang shut up immediately, and his ferocious eyes gradually dimmed.
