Chapter 50(1/2)
"If the emperor has no children, the country and country..."
Princess Changyang thought that Emperor Mingwen was sick, and she felt excited in her heart.
"The emperor has no children, so he will definitely choose heirs from the royal family. Who does his mother think have the greatest possibility?"
"Of course it's King Xiao!" Princess Changyang said without hesitation.
Emperor Wen of Ming and King Xiao are brothers. In terms of getting close, King Xiao must be closer.
"No, this is too risky. In the future, if the emperor has his own descendants, that child will be nothing!"
Princess Changyang was both nervous and nervous when she thought of that position.
"There are not many miracle doctors in this world. If there were, the emperor would have had a descendant long ago."
Prince Mo raised his foot and left the yard, while instructing someone to invite King Xiao to entertain the yard.
King Xiao waited for a while and just sat down and had a cup of tea.
"Why is Prince Xiao free to come today?"
Prince Mo came with a smile. Seeing that he was still wearing daytime clothes, he guessed that he must have never even returned to the mansion.
"Crown Prince Mo has already thanked the princess, why did he come to the door again and again? The princess is a married woman. Where can you come to the door with such a noble place? "
King Xiao said coldly, staring at Prince Mo with a smile, but his smile was not enough to reach his eyes.
Prince Mo disagreed and said lightly: "Who doesn't know that Miss Chu was driven out of the Xiao Mansion in the whole capital? Although you two have the name of a husband and wife, they have no real husband and wife. Sooner or later, they will divorce."
When King Xiao heard this, he slapped the table and was furious: "Mo Han! Whether Chu Yunning is divorced from me or not, she is my wife. You and I have been brothers and sisters..."
"Prince Xiao is careful!" Prince Mo's lips raised a sarcastic smile: "You detained Chu Yunning for five years and killed her child. Now that they are leaving, you are dominating. Prince Xiao, you are really selfish!"
"You!" King Xiao was silent.
"Have you ever hugged that child once? Have you coaxed it? I heard that if the Queen Mother hadn't protected him several times, would this child be able to be missing today?"
Prince Mo's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on King Xiao's head, making him feel cold.
"In the past five years, you have been pampering Ye Yan'er and bullying her repeatedly, but now you are unwilling to divorce. Could it be that you have fallen in love with her?"
Prince Mo's tone was full of sarcasm.
King Xiao gritted his teeth: "This is my housework, and it will be compensated in the future. You should keep your distance!"
After Chu Yunning returns home, he will double the compensation and treat her well and will treat her as his own.
"I only ask the prince one question, and the prince must answer truthfully."
King Xiao was silent for a while and avoided Prince Mo's sight.
"If one day Ye Yan'er or other women give birth to the prince's descendants, who should inherit the prince's mansion in the future?"
King Xiao had thought about this problem, but he couldn't do it.
So King Xiao fell silent. He didn't believe that there would be someone in this world who treats other people's children better than his own.
Prince Mo sneered: "Since you can't do it, why should you push people into a place that will never be restored? How can this child handle himself in the future and what status does Chu Yunning have?"
"I can go to my mother to keep her son and keep her status unchanged."
King Xiao could share half of Beibei's property, and then ask the emperor to give Beibei another name.
Prince Mo said: "I can give Beibei everything I have, and I will never have my own descendants in my life!"
King Xiao was shocked and speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to refute, so he could only snorted coldly: "I see that you are obsessed with the mind. According to your status, what kind of girl do you want? Why should Chu Yunning be the one who wants?"
"Prince Xiao has a noble status and is accompanied by Concubine Ye in the backyard. Why do you have to ask Chu Yunning?"
"You!" King Xiao took a deep breath, cursed stubbornly and left.
The two parted in disagreement.
"The person is gone?"
Princess Changyang came over from the backyard, and she heard everything the two of them said just now.
She looked worried: "Are you really going to fight with King Xiao? Just Chu Yunning, is it worth it?"
Prince Mo closed his eyebrows: "There is nothing worth it or not. King Xiao is used to being favored by him, but he is not used to Chu Yunning leaving him, so he can't bear to be dissatisfied with his face."
"But he is the queen mother's own son after all, and you may not be able to fight for it."
Prince Mo smiled confidently: "Don't worry, my mother, I have my own sense of responsibility."
The next morning, the news that King Xiao was going to compete with Chu Yunning for his child spread throughout the streets and alleys.
"Miss, will the prince really compete with you? What should we do?"
Bixiu asked nervously.
Chu Yunning frowned, and this question has also troubled her for a long time.
If it weren't for this, she would have left Prince Xiao's Mansion long ago.
In this era, no woman can take her children away from her or be abandoned.
As long as King Xiao thought, she would not be able to protect Beibei, and even the Empress Dowager would not help her.
"Mom, I don't want to leave Mom." Beibei was so scared that he rushed into Chu Yunning's arms and cried.
Chu Yunning patted Beibei: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you leave me, and no one can steal you from me."
After soothing Beibei's emotions, Chu Yunning was so worried that he could not wait for a moment.
Just then, someone from the palace summoned him, and Chu Yunning was taken into the palace.
When the Empress Dowager saw her, she was as kind as ever: "The Ai family investigated thoroughly all night and finally found the initiator of the poisoning at yesterday's banquet, which was Concubine Xia."
Concubine Xia?
Chu Yunning frowned and subconsciously rejected the candidate Xia Guifei.
"She hated you since the ten thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum. Yesterday, you repeatedly contradicted her at the banquet, which made her lose face and felt even more unhappy. Xia Guifei was arrogant because of her favor. In order to give you justice, the Ai family has deprived her concubine of her title and demoted her to the last. She sent someone to swear twenty times a day to serve as a warning to others."
This punishment is terrible.
From a concubine to a promise, she stomped her mouth every day and was not in front of her face. The empress dowager's move is to make Xia agree to lose favor.
Killing someone to kill his heart, but losing his favor is better than death.
In addition, Xia offended too many people when he promised to be a concubine. As long as he fell out of favor, the empress dowager did not need to take action.
Xia’s promised life will not last long.
"Thank you, the Queen Mother, for making decisions for Ning'er." Chu Yunning leaned over and saluted the Queen Mother.
"Why are you still polite to the Ai family? Come and sit here at the Ai family?"
The Empress Dowager waved at Chu Yunning, and Chu Yunning smiled and sat on the small stool next to her.
She knew about the poisoning, and whether it was Xia's agreement or not, it came to an end and could not be investigated again.
"How is Beibei? I was scared yesterday. The Ai family finally saw him once
, I feel really unhappy if such a thing happens."
The Empress Dowager looked angry, and her posture wished she could agree to tear Xia apart.
Chu Yunning's eyes turned red: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, otherwise Ning'er would be really worried that someone would bully us mother and son. When he was in the palace, the child was timid. Now he has finally become more cheerful and is scared again. Ning'er feels really uncomfortable."
The empress dowager swallowed the words she said, and said with a deep regret: "It's Xiao'er who is confused and doesn't know how to cherish you, so don't you plan to give Xiaoer a chance?"
Chu Yunning immediately knelt under the empress dowager's knees when he heard this: "Empress Dowager, five years ago, Ning'er witnessed Chu'er crying and being taken away. In just one hour, Chu'er was covered in blood and handed it to Ning'er's hands. Her face was blue and purple, her lips turned white, and she died in Ning'er's arms..."
Chu Yunning carefully described the situation that day.
"It was the prince who took Chu'er away with him personally. No matter how Ning'er asked for it, it would be useless. Ning'er is only Beibei by his side now. I beg the Empress Dowager to feel sorry for Ning'er, so don't let Beibei leave Ning'er."
Chu Yunning kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. As a woman, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but blush when she thought of the misery that day.
"Ning'er, it's Xiao'er who is sorry for you."
Chu Yunning shook his head: "Ning'er left the palace to protect Beibei. Beibei was framed several times, and Ning'er was really scared."
"It's Ye Yan'er again?" The empress dowager wanted to strangle Ye Yan'er to death. Not only did she occupy King Xiao, but she also killed her eldest grandson.
This cheap life is not as good as Chu'er.
"Bibei is Ning'er's life, Ning'er dares not bet anymore."
Chu Yunning cried so hard that his heart touched the Queen Mother's kind mother's heart, but the Queen Mother could not kill Ye Yan'er.
That is King Xiao’s life!
"If the Empress Dowager wants to see Beibei, Ning'er can take Beibei to visit the Empress Dowager at any time. Beibei will always be your grandson."
Chu Yunning raised three fingers to assure him.
The Empress Dowager patted Chu Yunning's hand: "Silly child, the Ai family also came from a mother. She walked from the gate of hell for ten months. When the emperor was taken away by the late emperor, she was taken to Concubine Cheng's knees to raise. The pain of the separation of mother and son, the Ai family cried day by day and almost cried blindly. Later, Concubine Cheng had his own child and returned the emperor to Concubine Cheng's family."
When the Empress Dowager thought of those days, she felt particularly sympathetic to Chu Yunning.
"Bibei has been well-educated by you. If you grow up in the future, you will definitely support you. As for whether he can forgive Xiao'er, the Ai family believes that you are a good child who distinguishes right from wrong."
