Rong Cang took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Xie was also summoned by the Queen Mother today."
Chu Yunfei was a little surprised, but then understood: "It seems that the queen mother also guessed that Mrs. Xie has a problem."
"It's not a problem if there is a problem." Rong Cang obviously didn't take Mrs. Xie to heart. "Her sons and daughters are all from the Xie family, and she must be on the side of the Xie family. In the past, when her mother lost her son, no one in the Xie family would help. , the Queen Mother might be able to ask Madam Xie to do something, but now that the Xie family is completely on the side of the Queen Mother, Madam Xie has no other choice."
Chu Yunfei raised her eyes and stared at his angular handsome face: "Rong Cang."
"Um."
"Should I show some joy?" Chu Yunfei held her chin and smiled sweetly at him, "Other husbands are not as patient as you. When they get home, they always answer their wives' questions."
"Other people's wives are not as smart and tough as you." Rong Cang put down the tea cup, "Seeing you every day when I come back is like seeing a reassurance. Talking to you feels very enjoyable."
"Really?" Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows slightly and said lazily, "I didn't know who it was at the beginning, it was a housewife, what do you think you know?"
Rong Cang smiled slightly and sighed: "I was wrong."
They say women love to hold grudges, and it’s true.
It had been so long ago, but she could still remember what he said so clearly and repeat it word for word.
Chu Yunfei smiled brightly: "Then do you think I, a housewife, know much?"
"Many." Rong Cang replied calmly, "Not inferior to most men in the world."
Chu Yunfei raised the corners of his mouth and turned around to order the food to be passed around.
…
It was late at night, and the lights in Shuhuang Palace were on for half the night.
The queen, who should have gone to bed at this hour, now looked unclear, staring at the dazed emperor in front of her: "Your Majesty, you don't believe what I said?"
Emperor Mu recovered from his astonishment: "What did the queen just say?"
"Rong Cang is my concubine's son, her biological son." The queen repeated calmly, "It is the child that was said to have died in infancy after I gave birth to him. He did not die at all, but was sent to Concubine Gu by the Queen Mother. , which caused my concubine to be separated from her mother and son for more than 20 years, and she suffered the pain of losing her son."
After a brief shock, Emperor Mu frowned tightly: "Queen, I understand how you feel, but -"
"Of course, I'm not blaming the Queen Mother." The queen quickly added, "Because the initiator of the whole thing was Concubine Gu, and the Queen Mother just followed the trend and sent my son to Concubine Gu's palace."
Emperor Mu's expression was strange, as if he had no idea what she was talking about: "Queen, Rong Cang is your son now. No matter who he is born to, he is your legitimate son——"
"Your Majesty!" The Queen's tone suddenly rose, and she even stood up uncontrollably due to her excitement, with an angry look on her face, "Don't you understand what I mean, my concubine? What happened back then was completely a conspiracy! It was Concubine Gu who robbed my concubine. My concubine’s son has caused our mother and son to be separated for more than 20 years! Rong Cang is my son, I was pregnant in ten months, my own flesh and blood! Can the emperor understand what I want to express? "
The whole palace was silent.
All the people in the palace had already retreated, otherwise everyone would be frightened by the queen's aura and tremble.
Emperor Mu obviously did not expect that she would suddenly become angry. He was stunned for a long time before he tried to speak: "Queen, you... calm down..."
"I can't calm down." The queen looked at him coldly, "The emperor should show an expression of shock, disbelief and anger now, instead of thinking that I am talking nonsense like a fool. Every word I say now , every word is true! Rong Cang is my ten-month-pregnant son, my concubine’s own flesh and blood!"
Emperor Mu was startled and said: "How... how is it possible?"
"The Queen Mother has been in seclusion for so many years, and today she suddenly summoned her concubine. Does the Emperor know why?" The Queen sat down again and calmed down her emotions. "The Queen Mother said that Rong Cang cannot be the crown prince. If the concubine doesn't listen, she will let her Rong Cang has become an adopted son without royal blood... Oh, how ridiculous! The Queen Mother and Concubine Gu have caused the separation of mother and son for so many years, and now they are coming to take away Rong Cang's crown prince position. Is there any justice in this world? "
Emperor Mu didn't say anything. He always felt that what happened tonight was beyond his understanding, making him unable to accept it for a while, like a dream.
"You said Rong Cang is your son, then..." Emperor Mu frowned, "Then Concubine Gu was pregnant back then. Where did the child she gave birth to go?"
"She was never pregnant at all back then. Her pregnancy was fake! She bribed the imperial doctor to accompany her to deceive the emperor. The imperial doctor had long since retired and returned home!" The queen's tone became excited because of her anger. "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can Go and interrogate Concubine Gu now!"
Mu Di had a headache from her yelling, and quickly waved his hand: "Sit down first, why are you so angry?"
Rong Cang turned out to be the Queen's biological son and their legitimate prince.
And the Queen Mother was actually involved?
Emperor Mu really couldn't imagine that Concubine Gu was so bold.
More than 20 years ago, you dared to deceive the emperor and plot to steal the queen's legitimate son?
How audacious.
However, Emperor Mu immediately smiled sarcastically. Concubine Gu had been so bold for a day or two. Did he only know it today?
He held his head, and suddenly the words that Concubine Gu had said to him before sounded in his ears: "The emperor's dislike of King Chen has been expressed beyond words, and he doesn't even want to cover it up? He keeps praising Rong Cang and belittling King Chen, but King Chen is just He is your biological son!"
"The Emperor used to like King Chen the most, but now he only prefers that scoundrel Rong Cang..."
Bastard?
At that time, he only thought that Gu Guifei was too partial and spoke evil words out of control. He had no idea that she was out of control and spoke the truth.
Rong Cang is not the son of Concubine Gu, but the son of the Queen?
He couldn't help but think back to the time when the Queen Mother had asked him to be nicer to Rong Cang, and she always seemed to be hiding something on her face when she spoke... Now that he thought about it, the Queen Mother was actually an insider, or even a participant?
Emperor Mu was so confused that he lost his judgment for a moment.
The queen's child was obviously gone. He was worried that the queen would be sad, so he ordered someone to take care of it quickly...
"Does the emperor still have any doubts?" The queen looked at him coldly, "If the emperor doubts Rong Cang's life experience, I will think that you are not a wise emperor."
"Presumptuous." Emperor Mu frowned displeased, "You have to give me some time to accept it, right? If you say he is your son, he must be your son? Then you want to say that Lao Qi and Lao Ba are yours. Son, should I believe it too?"
"You fart!" The queen stood up angrily, "When was Lao Qi and Lao Ba born? What does it have to do with my concubine? There are marks on Rong Cang's body that I remember, but it happened that Concubine Gu was not pregnant at all at that time. Everything was She lied!"
"Since my concubine was pregnant, she has been planning to take away my child. You are really a foolish king! My concubine's son was taken away under your eyes. Not only did you not quickly interrogate the evildoer, you are still suspicious here. What I said is true or false, I am really disappointed!"
Emperor Mu was a little confused by her angry scolding, but when he saw her red eyes, angry expression, and held back tears in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed and guilty.
In all the years she had been married to him, the queen had never lost such a temper.
