Chapter 256 Before Decision
"I have been by the Queen's side for so many years, and naturally I know that the emperor doesn't like me and spoils me. Although I feel uncomfortable, I don't expect anything. It doesn't matter if it hasn't happened. But when I played tricks on people, I was actually pregnant.
After the queen knew it, she wanted to ask the emperor for a favor to put me in the harem. Who knew that the emperor would make a mistake and thought that the queen was complaining about his indefect, so she wanted to kill me. The Empress pleaded in all kinds of ways to save my life. But the emperor refused to ask the child in my belly to let me take the abortion pill on the spot..."
Speaking of this, there is a rare bitter expression on Jing's face. It seems that she was hurt a lot by that incident. Hyman couldn't help sighing. In order to show that she was single-hearted and wanted to kill her own flesh and blood, she didn't know whether to praise the emperor for his infatuation or scold him for being ruthless!
"But if the child falls, he will fall off, but when I take the abortion pill, he will be fine. The Empress loved me and took care of me without telling the emperor until I gave birth to the child. I thought the emperor would change his mind when he saw the child, but we all guessed wrong...
The emperor suspected that I had ulterior motives. When I gave birth to a child, I wanted to compete with the crown prince and kill the child. After all, it's the meat that fell from my body. Since I gave birth to him, how could I let him die? After desperately begging, the emperor promised to leave the child's life, but wanted to send him out of the palace. And I will stay in the palace all my life and never recognize that child!"
After a pause, he said, "Although I agreed to the emperor, after all, I was born by myself. I can't let go of the child and think about it day and night. I could even dream that he staggered to me and shouted to my mother... When Grandpa Cui saw that I was so painful, he bought the father-in-law who sent the child out of the palace, found the child, bought it back at a high price, took him as a god-in-law and gave it to a reliable person to raise. And in order to do my best as a mother, I do needlework day and night, earn money and give it to Grandpa Cui to buy some delicious food for my children. That's all I can do..."
"Auntie, you have tried your best, and he will understand your pains and intentions sooner or later." Hyman wiped away two lines of tears for her and comforted her, "And now that the Empress Dowager wants him to inherit the throne, you mother and son can be reunited. You should be happy!"
Jinggu shook her head, "I'd rather he be an ordinary person and live a quiet life. Recognize each other or something... As long as he is doing well, I will be satisfied!"
"That depends on his choice. If he wants to, he will be responsible for his choice. If he doesn't want to, others may not come. Auntie, don't worry too much!"
"Yes, this is all fate!" Jing's aunt sighed long.
In less than half an hour after Cui went there, he came back with a simple reading.
When Jingxi heard the notice, she hurriedly got up and went out. She saw the shallow reading behind Grandpa Cui from afar. She was so excited that her hands couldn't help trembling. No wonder she hasn't seen her since her son was born! In a flash for more than 20 years, my son has also grown into a heroic man!
"As soon as I left the palace gate, I saw him wandering outside the palace gate and hurriedly brought it back!" Eunuch Cui came to the front and said to the stunned aunt, "Now I want to go in to see the Empress Dowager, or..."
"Oh..." Aunt Jing came to her senses, but her eager eyes couldn't move away from her face. "Let me take a good look at him first!"
The shallow reading was uncomfortable by Jing's aunt, "Godfather, why on earth did you bring me here? Also, she is..."
Grandpa Cui knew that there was no need to hide it now and corrected his look, "Qian'er, come and kowtow. She is your mother!"
"What?!" Qian Du looked at Jing's aunt in consternment, "Is she... my mother? My mother...is she still alive?
"You haven't seen each other for many years. Let's have a good talk, and I'll go out first!" Grandpa Cui wanted to leave the opportunity to explain to Jing's aunt, but he didn't say much and retreated by himself.
Haiman also wanted other mothers and children to talk about each other, so he asked others to come out together. However, it was still dark and there was no place to go, so I found a room in the side hall and took a break for a while.
Jinggu and Qian Du talked alone for more than half an hour and said everything that should be said. Hearing that the Empress Dowager Shu woke up, he took him into the door to visit the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Shu looked carefully and saw that he was calm, and his appearance and temperament were a little similar to Jiang Shize. She was very relieved and felt more and more that her decision was right. "Now the emperor suddenly died and the prince is young. You are his only brother, and only you can shoulder this heavy responsibility. Later, my family will take you to meet the civil and military officials, show your identity, and let them support you as the new king!"
Seeing Qian's face hesitating, he didn't say anything and frowned, "What, don't you want to?"
Qian's eyes flashed, "Empress Dowager, before making a decision, can I... meet someone first?"
"Seeing people?" Empress Dowager Shu was a little puzzled, "Who is so important that he can influence your decision?"
"This...it's inconvenient for me to say!"
The more he did this, the more confused the Empress Dowager Shu became. She looked at Jingxi, who she didn't know who he was talking about. She shook her head and signaled that she didn't know.
"Oh, forget it, it's not a matter of mourning!" Empress Dowager Shu pondered for a long time and sighed, "Since you want to see it, you can go. If you don't do what you want, I'm afraid you won't sit on the throne at ease. Go, go back quickly, and don't delay the big thing!"
"Thank you for your grace!" After reading Xie En, he went out and asked a palace man to lead the way and went straight to Changqing Palace.
Chun'er pushed the door and walked into the bedroom. Seeing Wen Caiqing still sitting there depressed, she couldn't help feeling sad. Since the death of the emperor, she has been like this. She doesn't eat, drink, talk or sleep. If she can't breathe, she will be no different from the dead!
"Mother, there is a man named Qian Du to meet outside!" She took a deep breath and stepped forward to report.
Wen Cai's blue eyes moved slightly, "What do you think...what's his name?" Her voice was hoarse as a crack, and she was not as shiny as her.
"Light reading, he said that it was the Empress Dowager who allowed him to visit the Empress!"
"Qiang, Empress Dowager..." Wen Cai muttered. In her impression, the two people could not be connected at all, and she is not in the mood to delve deeply now, let alone see anyone. "No, let him go!"
"But, Empress..." Chun'er still wanted to say something, but saw the figure at the door. Qian Du has stepped in and was shocked. "This is the Empress's bedroom. You can't enter..."
When Qian Yao saw the almost deformed literary youth, he frowned with heartache, "You go out, I want to talk to her alone!"
"This..." Chun'er hesitated.
"Get out!" Qian Du was not in the mood to talk nonsense with her, and his eyes became cold.
Chun'er doesn't know what the shallow reading is, but since it is approved by the Empress Dowager, it should be fine. Moreover, it seemed that the Empress had a lot to do with this person, and she also said that she would not let him stay, so she turned around and went out of the door.
"Ye!" Qian read and hugged Wen Caiqing and called her sadly.
Wen Caiqing broke away from his arm, "I said that it has nothing to do with you. I don't want to see you. Go!"
The shallow reading took a deep breath and calmed down your messy thoughts. "I'm here to ask you, if I become emperor, would you like to be with me?"
"Your Majesty?" These two words stung Wen Caiqing's nerves, "Are you emperor?"
"Yes!" He nodded heavily, "I also just learned that I was the concubine of the former emperor and the younger brother of the emperor who had just died. The Empress Dowager asked me to inherit the throne. I know you have always wanted to be a queen. If you want to be with me, I will promise to be the emperor and plead with the Empress Dowager to let you be my queen!"
