Chapter 1438: Prince Li’s Extra: The Truth of That Year
The Jinxiu Palace, which was festive and lively just now, is now deserted. Su Jinxiu stands in the palace desolately, without the joy of getting married in her heart. She is waiting for news from her mother.
She didn't dare to face it just now, but now, she wants to know what the result is.
She wanted to give herself a dowry that would make her happy, but she didn't expect that the result would be like this.
Su Jinxiu sat in the palace for a long time before she stood up. Regardless of her messy clothes, she ran towards the direction of the imperial study like crazy.
She had just forgotten that today was her wedding day, which was her only support now. After today, she would have the support of her husband's family. With them, her mother's life should be saved, right?
She disliked her mother and hated her at the gate of Suzaku Palace, but now, she wanted to save her, because she knew better than anyone that she was the initiator of all this. Even if she had her own little thoughts, she would not allow her mother to die because of her. She was afraid that she would never be able to rest in peace in the future.
So, relying on her wedding today, she asked her father not to shed blood today. Although their father-daughter relationship was indifferent, he should not refuse, right?
Su Jinxiu was still comforting herself and trying to convince herself. When she walked to the imperial study, Xiao Yuzi, who had returned to the imperial study from the Suzaku Palace, was standing at the door with a smile.
"Xiao Yuzi, I want to see my father."
"Princess Jinxiu, the emperor is busy."
"Busy with my mother's affairs?" Su Jinxiu stepped forward and stared at Xiao Yuzi and asked.
Xiao Yuzi didn't say anything, but raised his hand to block her way.
"I want to see my father."
"The emperor is busy. He just said that he won't see anyone. If you insist on forcing your way in, you will bear the consequences yourself." Xiao Yuzi warned.
"What does my father think about my mother's affairs? How does he want to punish my mother? I..."
Su Jinxiu saw Xiao Yuzi standing there calmly and couldn't help asking, but Xiao Yuzi seemed not to hear it, just standing there with a smile.
In the imperial study room, which Su Jinxiu could not see, the father and daughter, who had been estranged for a long time, sat face to face, looking at each other, and did not speak for a long time.
"You don't need to be angry about Concubine Zhu. She is just a woman you don't bother to care about." Ah Man thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Su Jing never thought that Ah Man, who had not seen him for a long time, would rush into his imperial study room again. After the two looked at each other for a long time, they opened their mouths and said this.
Perhaps because he was too surprised, after listening to Ah Man's words, he couldn't help coughing, coughing hard.
After coughing, he sat up again, but his complexion was not as good as before, and the paleness showed a decadent yellow.
"Father, you have never given this woman your true heart, so you shouldn't ask for her feelings for you."
Ah Man always thought that his father was dispensable to Concubine Zhu, and Concubine Zhu was just a decoration, but looking at his father's reaction just now, his cognition might be a little wrong.
Su Jing didn't expect that his physical discomfort would create such a false impression for Ah Man. He instinctively wanted to explain, but before he could say anything, he felt that there was no need to explain too much about his current relationship with Ah Man.
"My mother told me that Sister Jinxiu is not your daughter, so you may have had sex with Concubine Zhu..."
Ah Man wanted to tell his father that before his mother died, he and Concubine Zhu may not have had any physical contact, so there was no need to be sad for Concubine Zhu.
Su Jing didn't expect that his queen would hide such a big thing from him, but according to her personality, it was very likely, because he never remembered that he favored Concubine Zhu back then. It was the queen who said that he favored Concubine Zhu when he was drunk, and then returned to the queen's palace.
He never doubted the truth of the queen's words, so he always thought that Su Jinxiu was his daughter, and Concubine Zhu, he didn't love him, but still hurt her, so he acquiesced to her messing around in the harem and gave her wealth and glory.
