Chapter 297: The Storm Ends
Yi Yuan was hurriedly taken two steps back by Dou Hongyi, shrinking behind Chu Lan, not knowing what he should do at all.
I don't know how long it took for Dou Hongyi to shift the target, if Dou Hongyi's position was still ambiguous before, then now his position is resolute.
"Who said just now that Yiyuan is not my child, stand up for me." The low tone was as cold as the wind blowing in the cold winter, making the people below shudder.
Although he knew that what that person said was the truth, but as a king, the most important thing is his own face, and now that a person has put him in such an embarrassing situation, he will not make that person feel good.
The kid who had just committed the crime didn't know what he had done wrong, he only felt that the person in front of him was very angry, and he was so scared that he hurriedly retreated, bent on escaping, but he didn't expect that the more this happened, the more noticeable it would be.
Dou Hongyi made a color towards Dequan, and in less than half a while, Dequan grabbed the child.
Lowering his body slightly, Dou Hongyi touched the child's head and said very gently.
"Tell me who told you this." If he remembered correctly, there were only a few people who knew about it, although there were still countless rumors during this period, but it was just a few small turmoil, and it would be calm down in a short time.
And the person in front of him was just a child of a few years old, and he didn't understand anything, but he said such a thing, except for someone who heard it in his ear, Dou Hongyi couldn't find any reason to excuse it.
The child was asked, and he couldn't speak for a while, but Concubine Xian on the side felt a little scared, although these children are the children of underground officials, but in order to let them bully me well, Yiyuan, he said a lot of bad things around these children.
Although these children are easy to deceive, they can't withstand the pressure, what if the person in front of them confesses themselves.
Although he knew that he might attract attention if he stood up now, he couldn't help but want to divert the topic.
"Your Majesty, I think if you ask a child about this matter, it will be a bit too one-sided." Knowing that if he intercedes for his child, he will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, so it is better to come to a thief and shout to catch the thief to reduce his suspicion. "These children have been with their parents for the longest time, if you ask them like this, they will definitely say their parents, but what if it is an unintentional word, or if their parents overhear it when they are chatting with others, it is easy to hurt the innocent, otherwise you can give it to me, I will ask."
With a word, he swept away the suspicion on his own body, and threw the pot on the child's parents. Sure enough, it kills two birds with one stone.
Dou Hongyi glanced at Concubine Xian coldly, after being together for so many years, what kind of details is the person in front of him, he also understands it more clearly, naturally he knows that this matter has nothing to do with the person in front of him, but now it is good, it is not easy to have a good relationship with the image, he can't ruin his big things because of these small things.
"You're right, but I can't even ask, will you? Get all these children out of the palace, I'm sure that child doesn't need any scholars, what do you say, the queen. ”
The tone was still as cold as ever, for so many years, Chu Lan had become accustomed to Dou Hongyi's indifference to him. He stared blankly at the child at his feet and nodded silently.
After a simple arrangement, Dou Hongyi didn't want to stay here any longer, so he left with Concubine Xian in an instant.
There are only a few people left in the Imperial Garden.
Yi Yuan looked at Dou Hongyi in the distance, his eyes full of hatred. Although he was born only a few years ago, in the past few years, he clearly saw Dou Hongyi's treatment of Chu Lan, that kind of indifference, even more indifferent than that of a servant.
He didn't know the previous causes and consequences, and naturally he didn't know how to ask, he only knew that the husband and wife had already tied the knot, so they should work together for a lifetime.
Even if the emperor has too many three wives and four concubines, he should respect every wife, but he has this appearance towards Chu Lan, which makes it difficult for him to calm down in his heart, and he can't let go of it.
"Mother, I was wrong, I will never play with those people again." He hated that person casually in his heart, but when he saw the sadness in Chu Lan's eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head.
Chu Lan has never been afraid of Dou Hongyi's attitude towards him, and he has never cared about his status in the harem, but what moved him the most was his child's inexplicable sensibility.
Everything that Yi Yuan is experiencing now is the result of what he caused at the beginning, if he had taken Yi Yuan and Li Shaoyuan away, it would not have caused him to be like this.
Tears flowed down his eyes, and Dequan next to him couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly handed out a handkerchief in front of Chu Lan.
"The queen doesn't have to be sad, the little prince has grown up, and you can share a lot of your things, you don't have to trap too much sadness in your mind, there is still a long way to go, please let the queen mother persevere."
Chu Lan nodded silently.
"Queen Mother, the slave is still the same old saying, you have paid too much to the little prince over the years, so it has led to the current virtuous concubine to ascend to the sky in one step, and it will not be long before the emperor's survival, the queen can seize such an opportunity to consolidate her position."
Seeing that the person in front of him was still hesitating there, Dequan immediately said bitterly: "It's been so many years, if Li Shaoyuan could come back, he would have come back a long time ago, so why do you torture yourself here?" ”
Although Yiyuan didn't understand what the two adults were talking about, when he heard that it was Dou Hongyi's birthday, he was very excited.
Although he rarely saw Dou Hongyi, whenever Dou Hongyi had a birthday, he would always follow Chu Lan to attend his birthday banquet, and there were a lot of strange things in his lover's eyes, and he was happy to see it, so he liked the birthday banquet very much.
"Yes, yes, since the queen mother is my father's birthday in a few days, shall we go out of the palace to buy him some gifts? The child has been in this palace for so long, and it is time for you to take the child out, the queen mother. ”
Listening to it when he was a child, Yiyuan kept saying that he was going to leave the palace, and Chu Lan at that time thought that the child was still young and easy to get lost.
So he didn't promise Yi Yuan's words, and now that Yi Yuan has grown up, this palace is obviously not suitable for him, so it's better to take him out for a walk.
Nodding, the two of them went back to pack their things, and on the other side, the two people who returned to the Jinluan Palace, the situation was not so good.
Concubine Xian silently followed behind Dou Hongyi, feeling the depression all over his body, he didn't dare to speak.
"Looks like you have a huge idea for the Queen." When he reacted again, Dou Hongyi was already sitting on the dragon chair, a pair of hooking peach blossom eyes slightly upturned, and there was indescribable contempt in his mouth.
"The emperor laughed, how could I have any thoughts about the queen? He is the mother of a country, and it is too late for me to respect him. Skillfully brewing tea on the table, this is his favorite action every time he is questioned by Dou Hongyi.
Silently handed the tea to Dou Hongyi's mouth, but this time Dou Hongyi did not drink the tea.
"You also know that he is the mother of a country, but if you look at what you have done recently, you have been asking him for trouble one after another, I didn't say anything about you, do you really think I don't know?"
Dou Hongyi didn't slap the table, but the person in front of him was already kneeling on the ground.
"The emperor spares his life, the concubine didn't mean it, and if she wants to trouble the queen, it's really the concubine who can't be angry."
Seeing that Dou Hongyi's eyes revealed a look of doubt, Concubine Xian knew that Dou Hongyi had taken the bait.
"It's been five years, it's been five years, it's been five years since that child was born, how could he have thought about you in these five years, he put all his thoughts on that child, and you?"
Concubine Xian's words were like silver needles stained with venom, which didn't seem to hurt much on the surface, but once it was pierced into the heart, the poison paralyzed the whole body along the blood.
"You don't need to ask more about me and him, you don't have to worry about it, you just do your own thing."
Turning around, Dou Hongyi looked like he was fine, but the more he pretended to be strong like this, the more vulnerable he became.
"I don't want to care, but I really can't help it, just like the emperor's courtesy, even if you know that the child is not yours, but when the child is bullied, you will still put your position on that child."
The words that hit people's hearts made Dou Hongyi can't help but close his eyes, but the people in front of him did not stop because of this.
"Because you like Chu Lan, you don't want him to be hurt in the slightest, and I'm the same."
sighed deeply, at this moment, Dou Hongyi didn't know what to say, a thousand words had been melted away by these sweet words, and he didn't want to blame the person in front of him more, so he had to wave his hand and signal the person in front of him to retreat.
Lying weakly on his chair, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling above the roof, and the tears in the corners of his eyes flowed back into his heart.
As soon as he was controlling his emotions, Black Hawk came in from outside.
