Chapter 49: The Heroes
"If the emperor has no heirs, the country will be ......"
The county lord of Changyang thought that Emperor Mingwen was sick, and there was a rush of excitement in his heart.
"The emperor has no heirs, and he will definitely choose an heir from the royal clan, who does my mother think is the most likely?"
"Of course it's King Xiao!" The county lord of Changyang said without hesitation.
Emperor Mingwen and King Xiao are brothers, and in terms of closeness, it must be that King Xiao's bloodline is closer.
"No, this is too risky, in the future, the emperor has his own heir, and that child is nothing!"
When the county lord of Changyang thought of that position, he was nervous and apprehensive.
"There are not many miracle doctors in this world, and if there is, the emperor will have an heir."
Mo Shizi raised his feet and left the courtyard, while ordering someone to invite King Xiao to the main courtyard to entertain.
King Xiao waited for a moment, and just sat down to drink a cup of tea.
"Why is Lord Xiao free today?"
Remember the URL
Mo Shizi came with a smile, and when he saw that he was still dressed during the day, he guessed that he must have not even returned to the mansion.
"Mo Shizi has already thanked the princess, why did he come to the door again and again, the princess is a married woman, you came to the door in such a grand manner, where did you put the king's face?"
King Xiao said coldly, staring at Mo Shizi with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Mo Shizi disagreed, and said lightly: "Who in the whole capital doesn't know that Miss Chu was kicked out by Xiao Wangfu, although the two of you have the name of husband and wife, but there is no reality of husband and wife, sooner or later you will reconcile." ”
When King Xiao heard this, he was furious: "Mo Han! Regardless of whether Chu Yunning reconciled with this king or not, she is the woman of this king, and you and this king have been brothers and sisters......"
"Lord Xiao is cautious!" The corners of Mo Shizi's mouth raised a sarcastic smile: "You imprisoned Chu Yunning for five years and killed her child, and now that people are leaving, you are still domineering, Lord Xiao, you are really selfish enough!" ”
"You!" King Xiao was dumbfounded.
"Have you ever hugged that child once, have you ever coaxed it, I heard that if it weren't for the Queen Mother's protection several times, this child would not have been able to do it today."
Mo Shizi's words were like a basin of cold water poured on King Xiao's head, making his whole person cold.
"In the past five years, you have doted on Ye Yan'er every day, repeatedly bullied her, and now you refuse to leave, is it possible that you are in love with her?"
Mo Shizi's tone was full of sarcasm.
King Xiao clenched his teeth: "This is this king's housework, it will be made up for in the future, you should keep your distance!" ”
After Chu Yunning returns home, he will double his compensation and be good to her, and he will also treat Beibei as his own.
"I only ask the prince one question, and the prince has to answer truthfully."
King Xiao was silent for a while, avoiding Mo Shizi's gaze.
"If one day Ye Yan'er or other women give birth to the prince's heir, who will inherit the palace in the future?"
Xiao Wang had also thought about this problem, but he couldn't do it.
So King Xiao was silent, he didn't believe that there would be people in this world who would treat other people's children better than his own.
Mo Shizi sneered: "Since you can't do it, why do you want to push people into a place of no return, how will this child deal with himself in the future, and what status will Chu Yunning have?" ”
"This king can go to the mother and keep the son to keep her status unchanged."
King Xiao can give Beibei half of the family property, and then ask the emperor to give Beibei another title.
Mo Shizi said: "I can give Beibei everything I have, and even I will no longer have my own heirs in this life!" ”
King Xiao was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only snort coldly: "This king sees that you are a ghost, according to your identity and status, what kind of girl do you want, why do you have to have Chu Yunning?" ”
"Prince Xiao has a noble status, and he is accompanied by Concubine Ye in the backyard, why do you have to be Chu Yunning?"
"You!" King Xiao took a deep breath, scolded and walked away after being obsessed.
The two parted unhappily.
"People are gone?"
The county lord of Changyang came over from the backyard, and she heard everything the two of them said just now.
She looked worried: "Do you really plan to fight with King Xiao, it's just a Chu Yuning, is it worth it?" ”
Mo Shizi raised his eyebrows: "It's not worth it, King Xiao is used to being favored, but he is not used to Chu Yunning leaving him, and he doesn't want to go on his face." ”
"But after all, he is the son of the Queen Mother, and you may not be able to fight for it."
Mo Shizi smiled confidently: "Mother, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
Early the next morning, the news that King Xiao was going to compete with Chu Yunning for the child spread all over the streets and alleys.
"Miss, will the prince really compete with you for the north, so what should we do?"
Bixiu asked nervously.
Chu Yunning frowned, this question had also bothered her for a long time.
If it weren't for this, she would have left King Xiao's Mansion a long time ago.
In this day and age, no woman can take a child away from her or if she is divorced.
As long as King Xiao wants to, she can't keep Beibei, and even the Queen Mother won't help her.
"Mother, I don't want to leave Mother." When Beibei heard the news, he rushed to Chu Yunning's arms and cried in fright.
Chu Yunning patted Beibei: "Don't worry, my mother will definitely not let you leave my mother, and no one can snatch you from my mother." ”
calmed Beibei's emotions, Chu Yunning couldn't do it, he sat like pins and needles, and he couldn't wait for a moment.
At this time, someone from the palace was summoned, and Chu Yunning was brought into the palace.
The Queen Mother saw her as kind as ever: "The mourning family investigated thoroughly all night, and finally found the initiator of the poisoning at yesterday's banquet, which is the flawed concubine." ”
Flawed concubine?
Chu Yunning frowned, subconsciously rejecting the candidate of the flawed concubine.
"She hated you since the time of Wannian Lingzhi, yesterday at the banquet you repeatedly contradicted, so that she lost face, and her heart was even more unhappy, the flawed concubine was pampered and arrogant, in order to give you justice, the mourning family has deprived her of the title of concubine to the last promise, and sent someone to slap her mouth twenty times a day to set an example."
This punishment is not insignificant.
From a noble concubine to a promise, every day with a palm, her face is not there, and the queen mother's move is to make the flawed promise fall out of favor.
Murder and heart, the flaw of losing favor promises that life is better than death.
In addition, when she agreed to be a concubine, she offended too many people, as long as she fell out of favor, she didn't need the queen mother to take action.
The life promised by the defect will not last long.
"Thank you Queen Mother for making the decision for Ning'er." Chu Yunning leaned over and saluted the Queen Mother.
"Why are you still polite to the mourning family, come, sit here in the mourning family."
The Queen Mother beckoned to Chu Yunning, and Chu Yunning stepped forward with a smile and sat on the small stool next to her.
She knew that the poisoning was over, whether it was a flawed promise or not, and it couldn't be investigated again.
"How about Beibei, I was scared yesterday, and the mourning family finally saw him once
, just made such a fuss, and the mourning family was really unhappy. ”
The Queen Mother looked angry, and she couldn't wait to break the flaws into pieces.
Chu Yunning's eyes were red: "Thank you Queen Mother for calling the shots, otherwise Ning Er is really worried that someone will bully our mother and son, this child was timid when he was in the palace, and now he is finally more cheerful, and he was scared again, Ning Er really didn't feel good in her heart." ”
The Queen Mother swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, hating iron and steel: "It's Xiao Er who is confused and doesn't know how to cherish you, so you don't plan to give Xiao Er a chance?" ”
When Chu Yunning heard this, he immediately knelt down on the Queen Mother's knees: "Queen Mother, five years ago, Ning Er witnessed Chu Er crying and being taken away, and in just one hour, Chu Er was covered in blood and handed over to Ning Er, her face was bruised, her lips were white, and she lost her breath in Ning Er's arms......
Chu Yunning carefully described the situation that day.
"It was the prince who took Chu'er away with his own hands, no matter how Ning'er begged, it would be useless, Ning'er only had Beibei by her side now, begging the Queen Mother to feel sorry for Ning'er, don't let Beibei leave Ning'er."
Chu Yunning kowtowed to the Queen Mother, who was a woman, and couldn't help but blush when she thought of the misery of 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, Ning'er was really scared." ”
"Ye Yan'er again?" The Queen Mother couldn't wait to strangle Ye Yan'er, occupy King Xiao, not to mention, and kill her eldest grandson.
This cheap life is not as good as Chu Er.
"Beibei is Ning'er's life, Ning'er doesn't dare to gamble anymore."
Chu Yunning's crying liver and intestines were broken, which touched the heart of the Queen Mother's mother, but the Queen Mother couldn't give Ye Yan'er death.
That's King Xiao's life!
"If the Queen Mother wants to see Beibei, Ning'er can take Beibei to visit the Queen Mother at any time, and Beibei will always be your grandson."
Chu Yunning raised three fingers to guarantee.
The Queen Mother patted Chu Yunning's hand: "Silly child, the mourning family also came from a mother, and the pregnancy in October was closed from the ghost gate, when the emperor was taken away by the first emperor and sent to the knees of Cheng Guifei to raise, the pain of separation of mother and child, the mourning family washed their faces with tears every day, and almost cried blind, and later Cheng Guifei had her own children before returning the emperor to the mourning family." ”
Thinking of those days, the Queen Mother was particularly sympathetic to Chu Yunning.
"Beibei was well raised by you, and he will definitely hold up for you when he grows up in the future, as for whether he can forgive Xiao Er, the mourning family believes that you are a good boy who can distinguish between right and wrong."
The Queen Mother's words were all said to this, and Chu Yunning immediately cooperated: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, Ning'er will never let Beibei hate the prince, and will definitely teach him filial piety." ”
As long as Beibei can be kept by his side, King Xiao's matter can be put aside for the time being.
"Yes, after all, it's father and son, where does the hatred come from."
The Queen Mother patted Chu Yunning's hand: "Ning'er, if the emperor also has a child like Beibei under his knees, he will be blinded by the death of the mourning family." ”
Chu Yunning pretended not to understand, how could the royal heir say that there was one.
There was too much involved, and she didn't want to get involved.
"Ning'er, the tree is a big move, the royal heir is only one person in Beibei, how many people are red, so he will attract hatred, you have worked hard all these years, and you will have to look at it more in the future."
The Queen Mother said earnestly, waking up the person in her dream with a word, Chu Yunning has been awake for ten years, and the reason why Beibei was targeted was because he was the only imperial heir.
The existence of Beibei threatens the interests of some people, once the emperor has no heirs, the next step is for the entire royal family to stare at Beibei, she has watched palace fighting dramas, and the drama of going to the mother and leaving the son abounds.
She doesn't ask Beibei to have much creation, she just wants him to have a safe life.
"The Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother lovingly touched Chu Yunning's sideburns: "The road ahead is even harder, this old woman of the Mourning family is far away in the deep palace and can't protect you all the time, you have to be very careful." ”
