Chapter 18: The Heart of the Beloved Son, Right and Wrong, Is It Sorrow, Joy or Sadness
It was dusk.
Su Zecai came to Cining Palace.
Because, Concubine Li is already the queen mother.
The already gray sky suddenly thundered and thundered, and the wind howled.
The storm is coming.
When the little eunuch led him to Princess Yurou's room......
The rain was falling and it was heavy.
Concubine Li, who was drinking tea in the main hall, saw him and the little eunuch.
Concubine Li called him into the hall.
He didn't expect to bump into her by coincidence, and he smiled apologetically: "Disturb the Queen Mother." ”
Concubine Li looked very casual: "It's okay, it's okay, Su Gongzi is here to find Rou'er?" ”
Su Zecai nodded: "Yes." ”
Concubine Li suddenly smiled mysteriously, and then spoke and shouted back from the four maids in the hall: "You all go down." ”
It's raining heavily!
Why did Concubine Li's mother drink the withdrawal ring at this time?
Is she going to say something to herself?
He was confused.
"Yes, Queen Mother." The four maids were very obedient, and as soon as they answered, they immediately turned around and went out of the house, braving the heavy rain and running away.
Concubine Li waved her hand politely: "Master Su, please take a seat." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie." Su Zecai thanked him and sat down as he said, "I don't know the Queen Mother, do you have any advice?" ”
Concubine Li looked at him seriously: "Not long ago, Rou'er told me an earth-shattering event, and this earth-shattering event was told to her by you." ”
Earth-shattering, big deal?
What could it be?
Su Zecai couldn't help but frown and think about it.
Suddenly......
His eyes lit up, and he thought about it.
In the eyes of Concubine Li, what she can think of as an earth-shattering event can only be the matter of him and her daughter Princess Yurou dripping blood to recognize their relationship.
It seems that Princess Yurou has told her about this. I don't know, what would she think?
He was thinking about it......
I only heard Concubine Li's mouth open: "Looking at Su Gongzi's expression, didn't he already think of that thing?" ”
Facing Concubine Li's questioning, he was heartbroken, didn't think much about it, and responded: "Does the Queen Mother mean that Su and your daughter are dripping blood to recognize each other?" Come to think of it, this must have been an earth-shattering thing I did to your daughter, the Queen Mother. ”
After he said this, his heart was already beating wildly, and he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
How will she react?
In addition to being furious, it should be like a thunderstorm!
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li only smiled indifferently: "This is the case." ”
Her flat tone made him confused and at a loss.
Concubine Li's mother called out incomparably: "Cai'er! ”
Cai'er!
Concubine Li, she, actually, calls herself Cai'er!
Su Zecai was dumbfounded, this call was really a bolt from the blue!
Could it be ......
Because of the fact that she and her daughter Princess Yurou confessed to each other by blood, she remembered the past, remembered that she was more than 20 years ago, and she once had a series of things with her father Su Jianqi and gave birth to herself?
She finally knew that she was her son!
Su Zecai was so excited that she stared at Concubine Li excitedly, forgetting to speak.
But I heard Concubine Li's mother speak: "Actually, Cai'er, from the day you entered the palace and became a court painter, your mother already knew that you were your mother's son." ”
Another thunderbolt from the blue!
"What? What did you say? Su Zecai stood up in shock, shocked.
She, actually, knew that she was her son early on!
But why?
But she didn't admit herself for a long time?
And why, today, suddenly broke the confession?
Concubine Li can understand the feeling in his heart at this moment, she said in a deep voice: "Mother knows, in your heart at the moment, you must be puzzled, thousands of clues, all kinds of doubts, don't worry, listen to Niang's words, come here, sit next to Niang, calm down, listen to Niang slowly, tell you everything." ”
Su Zecai's lips trembled, his eyebrows trembled violently, the muscles on his face spasmed, he gritted his teeth, calmed down, and sat down in the chair next to Concubine Li with heavy steps.
Concubine Li smiled at him and said: "Actually, back then, after my mother sent you out of the palace, I have always sent people to protect you in secret, whether you are outside the palace or in the palace, my mother has always known that you are my mother's son." ”
Su Zecai couldn't help asking: "Since you know it, why did I try my best to recognize you after I entered the palace, but you pretended to be stupid and dumb and didn't recognize me?" Why is that? ”
"Alas!" Concubine Li's mother sighed sadly, "Because, my mother owes you too much!" ”
Su Zecai didn't know what to do, and was stunned: "Owe me too much?" ”
Concubine Li's mother nodded: "Yes, my mother regrets it very much, after my mother gave birth to you with your father, at that time, my mother was too young, very immature, and did not think about things, because I was afraid that things would be exposed, and I was afraid that the emperor would know that you were not his son, so my mother bought a stillborn with a trick, blindfolded the emperor, replaced you, sent you out of the palace, and handed you over to your father." ”
"......" He didn't understand Concubine Li's words.
Concubine Li said earnestly: "Mother owes you a happy life, Mother should not send you out of the palace, Mother should leave you in the palace, stay by Mother's side, take good care of you, then, now, you are also a prince!" ”
Su Zecai understood, and he felt a little ridiculous: "You owe me these identities?" What is happiness? ”
"Yes, the reason why my mother refused to recognize you before was that she wanted to compensate you well, and after letting you have happiness, she would recognize you again, but my mother didn't want to recognize you, but she left you with nothing."
"Then you are willing to recognize me now, are you compensating me?"
"Not yet, though, soon."
"Where's the compensation?"
"You are always with Princess Qingtian, you must know that if I kill her mother, I will kill her!"
Su Zecai's face was gloomy: "I still say that, compensation, where is it?" ”
Concubine Li explained earnestly: "As long as the mother kills Princess Qingtian, and then lets you marry Rou'er, the mother can, as the son-in-law of the queen mother, let you ascend the throne and become the emperor, this is to compensate you, now, you should always understand, why does your mother want to deal with the queen mother, why do you want to deal with Princess Qingtian, why let you marry Rou'er, your sister, and you!" ”
"Hahaha......" Su Zecai suddenly got up and laughed on his back.
Concubine Li shouted, "What are you laughing at? ”
Su Zecai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I laugh at myself, how can there be such a ridiculous mother!" ”
Concubine Li's face changed: "Cai'er! ”
Su Zecai stared at her with an excited expression: "What kind of compensation is this?" Your hands are covered with blood, how many people have you killed, just to send me to the throne of the emperor, this is called compensation? No, I don't need those! The compensation I want is that when I met you for the first time, you should recognize me, and this is the greatest compensation for me! ”
"But my mother thinks that making you the king of a country is the greatest compensation for you!"
"I don't need these things!"
"Mother thinks you need it!"
"I just need you to recognize me at the beginning, not after any compensation!"
"Enough!" Concubine Li's mother was angry, "Cai'er, my mother did this for you, all of this is for you!" ”
Su Zecai retorted angrily: "For me? For my sake, you let me marry my own sister? Mother, are you crazy? ”
Concubine Li explained: "My mother just wants you to act in name only!" ”
"Humph!" Su Zecai snorted coldly, expressing extreme dissatisfaction with Concubine Li's approach.
Concubine Li got up and looked at him, and said calmly: "Okay! Now, you know everything, and you understand your mother's hard work, calm down, think about it, do you want me to be a mother, or a sweet princess, you choose for yourself! ”
Concubine Li dropped her words, turned around and walked away, and walked into the apse.
She is very sure in her heart that her son Su Zecai's heart will definitely be towards herself, and she is convinced of this!
Su Zecai stood silently on the spot, he gritted his teeth, and his face was distorted terribly.
He never dreamed that his mother, Concubine Li, would be such an unreasonable woman!
At this moment, the storm in his heart was more violent than the storm outside the door......
