Chapter 288 The One Who Really Loves You
Chapter 288 I really love you
Listening to Mu Yexiao's words, all the people present were stunned. Qian Jiujiu never expected that Mu Yexiao would ask such a direct question, while the emperor frowned.
Glancing at Mu Yexiao, before Imperial Concubine Qing could speak, she spoke first: "Xiao'er, who are you listening to nonsense? Why would you ask such a question?"
"Of course you are your concubine's child, otherwise whose child would you be."
The emperor's tone was very sincere. If you didn't look at his slightly frowning eyebrows and worried eyes, everyone would believe him. Concubine Qing heard what the emperor said.
She finally smiled, she has been the emperor's bedside person for so many years, and she is also the only person whom the emperor cares about, how could she not understand the emperor!
Just looking at the emperor, he knew that he was nervous. Was it because he was afraid that she would get news? Looking at the emperor: "Your Majesty, there are some things, and it's time to expose the truth."
"The concubine doesn't want to deceive you, nor does she want to deceive Xiao'er. Xiao'er has the right to know. What's more, no matter whether it's giving birth or nurturing grace, the concubine is Xiao'er's mother and concubine."
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he probably understood. Looking at Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing stretched out her hand to touch Mu Yexiao's cheek: "Xiao'er, you are indeed not the concubine's child."
"My concubine only found out about this matter when you were about ten years old. Don't blame your father. If you have any resentment in your heart, you can blame me."
When the emperor heard this, he was taken aback for a moment: "Qing'er, did you know about it ten years ago?"
Noble Concubine Qing nodded: "Yes, I knew it at that time. In fact, from the very beginning, the concubine knew that the child of the concubine would not survive, or it would be a stillbirth from the very beginning."
"Because the concubine didn't go back to Gan Country to continue planting Gu, the Gu worms in the concubine's body would suck the essence of the concubine's children, so it was difficult for the concubine's children to survive."
"Unless the poison in Chenqie's body is cleaned up, but no, Chenqie gave up the chance to have children, just because as soon as Chenqie returns to Qianguo, she will know that she will never come out again."
"So you brought Xiao'er to Chenqie and said that it was Chenqie's child. Chenqie was very happy at that time, thinking that Chenqie was a special case, and the child born to Chenqie survived."
"But later, the concubine wanted Xiao'er to become invulnerable to all poisons according to the unique method of the Qian Kingdom. When he poisoned him, he found that Xiao'er did not have the blood of the concubine."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she finally understood one thing, that is, what she saw in Mu Yexiao's memory was the matter of Concubine Qing poisoning Mu Yexiao.
It turned out to be because of this reason, and the emperor was also surprised. The reason for the surprise was that Imperial Concubine Qing always knew that she would give birth to a stillborn baby, but it was because it was their child.
So she didn't want to let go of this opportunity. No wonder Concubine Qing had to work so hard when she was pregnant, and she still had to keep the child, but it was a pity that the child was stillborn.
The emperor thought of this and sighed: "That's because I'm worried. You worked so hard to keep that child, but in the end all your efforts were in vain. I'm worried about you."
"So I discussed it with the queen. It happened that the queen gave birth to two children. I begged the queen to give you Xiao'er, and at that time, Master Zhiyin said."
"Xing'er will be the talent of a wise king in the future, so I promised the queen that Xing'er will be the prince in the future, in exchange for Xiao'er, who will be raised by you, and I will keep it from you, saying that he is your child."
Qian Jiujiu frowned when she heard this, no wonder she can often feel the empress' slight guilt towards Mu Yexiao, is it because of this incident?
A little worried about Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu reached out and grabbed Mu Yexiao's hand, and Mu Yexiao smiled at Qian Jiujiu: "Father, mother concubine is right, no matter what, you are my mother." concubine."
Imperial Concubine Qing smiled happily, and looked at Mu Yexiao: "I knew you were a good boy, the queen is your biological mother, remember to honor her well in the future, the queen has suffered in this life."
If one were to say who had the most difficult life among the three, the emperor, Concubine Qing and the empress, it would undoubtedly be the empress. This whole life has been risked to the harem.
However, she didn't get the emperor's sincere treatment. She was loyal to the emperor all her life, and even spared no effort to protect her as a rival in love all the year round. The empress never did anything to hurt her.
Concubine Qing was so moved by this point that she even gave away a child for her. Even if there were other reasons, it still couldn't erase the Queen's heart for Concubine Qing.
After Concubine Qing finished speaking, the scene suddenly became a little quiet. Regarding this matter, Qian Jiujiu dared not speak, after all, it involved the emotions between the three emperors.
Except for the three of them, no one can comment. Now that she knew that Concubine Qing was treating Mu Yexiao sincerely, Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt that she was a bit of a villain in her defense against Concubine Qing some time ago.
Apologetically, Concubine Qing glanced at Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing was puzzled by Qian Jiujiu's eyes, but soon Concubine Qing smiled and looked at the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this hot spring is also soaked, let's go back to the palace today."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mu Yexiao again: "Xiao'er, it's rare for people from the Xiao family to come here, let them have a good time in the capital, at least they have participated in the crown prince's canonization ceremony before leaving."
"That day is also the prince's big wedding. It must be very lively. It's good to join in the fun."
After listening to Concubine Qing's words, the Emperor had already stood up and looked at Concubine Qing: "Alright, then let's go."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu also planned to go back to the city. After all, the prince's canonization ceremony was about to begin, and there were still two days left, and the prince's poison had not yet been released.
After thinking about it, Qian Jiujiu said, "Then concubine mother, imperial father, and daughter-in-law go back with you. There are many things going on in the capital, as for the members of the Xiao family, they can live here."
"On the day when the crown prince can be conferred, and someone from the Xiao family is invited to go, what does the concubine mother think?"
Concubine Qing thought for a while, then nodded: "That's very good, then pack up and go back to Beijing together."
In Kyoto, because the crown prince is about to be canonized, the whole capital is full of joy. The prince's wedding and canonization are all on the same day, and the people in the Ministry of Rites are the busiest.
The ministers who were busy making arrangements did not dare to relax for a moment. They were waiting for the day when the crown prince would be enshrined. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu first sent the emperor and empress back to the palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao: "Don't you need to go and see the empress?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "No need for now, we will meet anyway."
Qian Jiujiu was taken aback for a moment, and sighed, presumably there was something wrong in his heart, after bidding farewell to the Emperor and Concubine Qing, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu got into the carriage.
They went back to Prince Xiao's Mansion together. On the carriage, Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao in a daze, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to grab Mu Yexiao's hand: "What are you thinking?"
"You don't understand, why did the empress do this? Why did you send you out? Are you resenting the empress?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "I don't know either, Jiu'er, I got this news suddenly, can you let me be quiet? Yesterday's plan was interrupted by Xiaoman, presumably people from Ganguo will come to investigate."
"What are you going to do about this?"
At this time, Qian Jiujiu was no longer in the mood to be scheming, and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "Anyway, you and the concubine mother have made everything clear, even if people in the country know that you don't have the blood of the country, It doesn't matter."
"Besides, you are the famous God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can you be so calculating, don't you think? This matter, you can do whatever you want."
Mu Yexiao also nodded, and now Mu Yexiao is not in the mood, he is talking about these things, looking at Qian Jiujiu: "By the way, what happened to the Gu poison in the prince's body?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "Last time Xiaoman said he was a little restless, I have asked Xiaoman to change the prescription."
Speaking of this, Qian Jiujiu's brows were still a little worried. Originally, he thought that King Xiao was being tricked, lost his memory, and approached Princess Qingling.
Maybe it's possible to find out who owns the Gu poison in the crown prince's body from that idiot of Qingling County Master, but Mu Yexiao is not in the mood now, so it is understandable for Qian Jiujiu.
I'm afraid that Mu Yexiao now has some resentment towards the queen, but also some estrangement towards Mu Yexing. In order for Mu Yexing to get the crown prince, he chose to give him to Concubine Qing.
At this point, Mu Yexiao felt that he had been abandoned, and it was certain that he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Qian Jiujiu felt a little distressed, and Mu Yexiao suddenly reached out and pulled Qian Jiujiu into his arms.
"Jiu'er, let me hug you, I feel bad."
Qian Jiujiu reached out to hug Mu Yexiao back, she had never seen Mu Yexiao in such a state, the carriage was walking slowly, Qian Jiujiu also heard Mu Yexiao's voice.
"Actually, I have always been very proud. My father and mother concubine really love each other. Father is the emperor, but he can also give mother and concubine the purest love because of the relationship between mother and concubine."
"I have been the most beloved child in the palace since I was a child, but it turns out that I am just a substitute for a dead baby. Jiu'er, I feel bad."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes, stretched out her hands to hold Mu Yexiao's face, looked at Mu Yexiao, then kissed Mu Yexiao's lips: "No, you are not a substitute."
"The Emperor's love for you is sincere, and Concubine Qing's love for you is also sincere. Look, has Concubine Qing changed anything about you because she knew you were not her son?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head, Qian Jiujiu took the opportunity to persuade: "Yes, so Imperial Concubine Qing really loves you, they are great parents, and the queen mother also loves you."
"I believe that you can also feel it. If you really can't figure it out, just think about it slowly. In fact, you are very happy. You have received much, much more love than Mu Yexing."
"So don't be too horny, at least, you and me, I will be with you for the rest of your life. Mu Yexing will definitely not find this kind of relationship between two people for life."
