Chapter 1184 Prince Li's Extra: The Reason for the Queen's Transformation
"Princess Jinxiu, after all, is the daughter of Emperor Bei'an. Will Emperor Bei'an be willing to marry into the Dong family?" Murong Zheng finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
If Su Jinxiu was his daughter, he would not let her marry the Dong family even if she was disfigured.
Especially after the Bei'an envoy forced him to send Concubine Dong to the cold palace, the enmity between Bei'an and the Dong family was finally settled. What good life would Su Jinxiu have when she married into the Dong family?
"Before the foreign minister left, His Majesty the Emperor told his ministers that for the sake of peace between the two countries, the princess's fate should be left to the foreign minister," Qu Jingze said frankly.
Emperor Bei'an would never be lenient to a daughter who betrayed her country and let her marry into the Dong family under such circumstances. If the emperor knew about it, he would probably feel that such a punishment was too light.
Facing Qu Jingze's answer, the slight smile on Murong Zheng's face disappeared.
Qu Jingze was not answering his own question, he was clearly mocking himself for disregarding the peace between the two countries for the sake of his beloved concubine.
But he couldn't say anything to refute. The facts were before his eyes. When Concubine Dong Gui destroyed the peace between the two countries, he intended to cover her up.
The ministers obviously understood what Qu Jingze meant. Although they still knelt on the ground and did not get up, they occasionally raised their heads and looked into their eyes, which were full of disapproval.
"I think there is nothing to do today, so let's retreat first." Murong Zheng said with a tired look and stood up to leave. Then, he hurriedly thought about the Queen's Qifeng Palace.
No one knows how hard he tried not to think about the changes in the queen in the court just now. Whenever he thought about it, he became extremely flustered.
Especially after dealing with Concubine Dong Guifei, he felt even more at a loss. He was anxious to go to court and did not dare to delay for a moment. He wanted to see the queen. He felt that only by meeting the queen could he find support for his panic.
At this time, Qifeng Palace was as quiet as the deepest night. The third prince Murong Kai sat quietly in front of the queen who was dressed in bright red palace makeup. He made tea, poured out the first cup, brought it to the queen, and shouted with a smile: He said: "Mother, thank you very much this time."
"It's me who should thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not have the courage to take this step."
The queen looked at the child in front of her lovingly, her heart filled with joy.
Before he went to the court, Murong Kai came. He sent the people in charge of Concubine Dong's jewelry and those in charge of delivering news to her.
He said: "The facts are now in front of us. Whether the Queen Mother wants to continue to indulge the Emperor Father in doting on Concubine Dong Guifei, or whether she wants to compete with the Emperor Brother for herself, it all depends on the Queen Mother's choice."
His words were calm, but they caused a storm in the Queen's heart.
The Emperor is the faith she has guarded for many years, but she has to endure humiliation like this for the rest of her life? She had wavered, but she had never made a decision.
"Mother, I was the one who was poisoned this time. Next time, I don't know which royal brother or younger brother it is. I can escape with luck this time, but it's hard to say for my other brothers."
Murong Kai spoke in a very calm voice, as if he was just chatting with the Queen about home affairs, but his words pierced the Queen's heart like a needle invisibly.
Before the Empress Dowager left, she promised her that she would protect the Emperor's children.
In the past few years, when Concubine Dong was still young, she could still protect them. But now, Concubine Dong has her eyes set on the supreme position, and these children have become a thorn in her side.
"Mother, the eldest brother is already the prince. If Concubine Dong Gui wants her son to ascend the throne, then the eldest brother..."
Concubine Dong targeted Murong Kai like this because of Concubine Jin. She wanted Concubine Jin to stay in her palace. If she wanted the throne, she would definitely target the prince...
She loved the emperor for many years, and she was tired of loving him.
She loves her child because he is her pride and the fruit of her love with the emperor.
As a mother, she is strong, and she will not allow anyone to extend their poisonous hands to her children.
It was because of Murong Kai's few words that the queen made the final decision and bravely stood on the opposite side of the emperor. Even though her love for the emperor was no less than her love for her own children.
