Chapter 253: Lan Tingxuan's Choice

The Queen Mother pretended to be calm and looked at Xing Tianqi, it didn't matter what others thought of her, but he was her own son, if even he disliked herself, then what was the point of all this she had done?

"By all means, Your Majesty, in case these people want to be unfavorable to you and the Queen Mother......" Qi Hanyuan's words were interrupted by Xing Tianqi before he finished speaking.

"Stand down, all step down." He let out a loud cry of rage, and his majestic and cold tone frightened everyone.

"Yes." Qi Hanyuan saw that he was angry, so he could only reluctantly retreat.

Although General An didn't want to leave, when he saw the cold gaze he launched, he could only turn around and leave indignantly, and he would never leave this matter at that.

After everyone left, only the Queen Mother and Mama, Lan Mu and Lan Tingxuan, Jiang Liuli and a few others were left in the courtyard, although there were fewer people, the atmosphere was still very heavy.

"Sister, I entered the palace just for him, as long as I can be by his side, I am willing to give up everything." Lan Mu looked at the silent Queen Mother, from the very beginning, she had no intention of competing for favor, let alone being an enemy of anyone.

"I just want to stay by his side peacefully, I never want to participate in the battle of the harem, but even so, you still don't want to let me go, the child is innocent, but you hurt a child who has not yet formed for the sake of fame and fortune, do you know how hard this hit me?" Lan Mu glared at her resentfully, she had never hated anyone for the first time, she wanted to hate someone, and wanted to deal with someone with a tooth for a tooth.

The Queen Mother listened to what she said, and she was a little apologetic in her heart, although Concubine Lan was favored at that time, she was never pampered and arrogant, and she was still as quiet and elegant as when she first entered the palace.

But it is precisely because of this that the emperor will love her very much, after all, she has been in this palace for a long time, and she is the only one who can still maintain her original intention, and this unique temperament attracts the emperor to take her eyes off, which will make her even more panicked, and then she will do unforgivable things.

"What frustrates me the most is that he knows who killed our children, but he doesn't want to seek justice for me." Lan Mu closed her eyes sadly.

Jiang Liuli understood Lan's mother's mood at that time, originally the only person who could be trusted in this palace was the emperor, but after the accident, he not only did not help her get justice, but allowed those people to bully her, and no matter how gentle and generous a woman was, she would be stabbed by his actions.

"Since then, I have closed my heart, although I know how hard he is doing this, I still can't forgive him, so when I am pregnant again, I will not hesitate to flee from the palace and escape from him." Lan Mu said faintly, she was really disappointed in the emperor, and when she needed him the most, she chose to run away from him and face all the difficulties and all the pain alone.

She knew that if she told the emperor the cause of the fire, she would definitely involve the Qi family because of this matter, and the big thing would turn into a small matter.

"Mother." Lan Tingxuan stepped forward and took her hand, never thought that the gentle and virtuous mother would be hurt so much, and finally understood why she said that her father had passed away from the beginning, because in her heart, her father was dead.

"Sister, I never thought about revenge from beginning to end, I just want to spend the rest of my life with my family like this, it's pointless to mention the past, even if I avenge Wushuang, she won't come back to life." She looked at Lan Tingxuan gently, this is the son she has worked so hard to raise, and she can give up all her hatred for his safety.

The Queen Mother looked at her fixedly, the person she hated the most was her, but she also knew her best, she would indeed make such a choice for the sake of the child, but she had a ghost in her heart and wanted to preemptively eradicate her.

"If it weren't for your actions today, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you, and Ting Xuan's identity would have been concealed for the rest of my life, but you were always unwilling to let me go." Lan Mu smiled bitterly, today's incident was too big, and she had heard about it when she was hiding in Yishui Pavilion.

Originally, she planned to ignore it, but after thinking about it again, she decided to tell the truth, otherwise Lan Tingxuan would not be able to get rid of the charge of plotting to usurp the throne for the rest of her life.

"So it's all my fault." The Queen Mother smiled coldly, although she knew in her heart that it was her fault, she still didn't want to admit it on the surface.

"Queen Mother, this matter is over, don't hurt Tingxuan anymore." Xing Tianqi, who finally calmed down, looked at the Queen Mother pleadingly.

No matter what happened before, the current Lan Tingxuan has been confirmed to be a member of the royal family, his younger brother, and he can't watch him die because of the palace battle.

"Emperor, the mourning family is all for your good." The Queen Mother looked at him anxiously, with Lan Tingxuan's talent and prestige, if she wanted to restore her status as a prince, there was a possibility that someone would make a fuss about his identity, and her son's throne might be unstable at that time.

"Queen Mother, do you distrust your sons so much?" Xing Tianqi smiled bitterly, he naturally knew what the Queen Mother was worried about, but it was precisely because of this that he felt even more uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother was stunned by his words, from beginning to end she thought that someone would snatch his throne, but ignored his talent, although he was young, he still had a very good set of ways to govern the country, and since he sat on the throne, he has never made any mistakes.

"That's not what the queen mother meant." She weakly retorted that she felt that her heart was weak, and who would believe what she said.

"Whether it is or not, this matter ends here, because of your actions, not only was you seriously injured in the cold night, but even the brave army was also killed and wounded heavily, how far do you have to go before you are willing to stop?" Xing Tianqi said with a sigh, watching the most brave and warlike army destroyed in front of him, no one could understand the pain in his heart.

"What? This...... How is this possible? The Queen Mother's eyes widened in shock, and then she looked at Jiang Liuli in disbelief.

She couldn't know what kind of strength the Xiaoyong Army had, but she didn't expect it to be so vulnerable in front of Jiang Liuli, and there were countless casualties in just half a day.

"If you still insist on killing Tingxuan or the Li family, I don't mind uprooting the Brave Army and making it history." Jiang Liuli said coldly.

If it was before, the Queen Mother would not have believed what she said, but at this moment, she is very confident that she has such ability.

"Queen Mother, please remember that my surname is Lan, no matter when this identity will not change." Lan Tingxuan stood in front of the Queen Mother and said with a firm face.

From knowing his background to now, his heart has always been very confused, if someone else has such an identity, he will be happy, but he can't be happy, he doesn't like this identity, he doesn't like the palace, he doesn't like everything here.

So he would rather be an ordinary person than be a prince, all he wants is to spend the rest of his life with his wife and children, that's all.

Whether he is ambitious or cowardly, his thoughts have never changed, and he will not change his mind because of the change of identity.

The Queen Mother looked at Lan Tingxuan in shock, although she had seen him a few times in the palace, she had never really observed him, and now she found that he not only looked like Concubine Lan, but even his temperament was exactly the same, and that kind of indisputable mentality was exactly the same.

"Tingxuan, it should be yours, and I will never treat you badly." Xing Tianqi frowned unhappily, no matter what happened before, since he was the prince, he should be restored to his identity and should enjoy the preferential treatment of the prince.

"No, Your Majesty, the fact that I am Lan Tingxuan will never change." Lan Tingxuan looked at Xing Tianqi firmly, no matter who persuaded him, his mind would not change.

Seeing him so resolute, Xing Tianqi's brows furrowed more and more, the prince's identity that everyone envied, but he didn't want it, and even wanted to get rid of the prince's identity, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Alright, now that the matter is clear, let's go home." Jiang Liuli looked at Lan Tingxuan with relief, he is the only one in this world who doesn't want the status of a prince, and he is really the man he fancies, so different.

Lan Tingxuan saw that she was not only not angry because of her decision, but was very happy, and her hanging heart finally let go, it seems that she is the only one who knows herself best in this world.

No, there is another person who also understands him, that is his mother, who sacrificed a lot for himself, and in the future, he will be filial to her and never let her be hurt in the slightest.

"Okay, let's go home." Lan's mother said with a smile, however, the home she was talking about was not Lanfu, but her mother's house who had not been back for many years.

Jiang Liuli held Lan Tingxuan's right hand, Lan Mu held his left hand, and the three of them walked out of the Queen Mother's sight hand in hand, this scene pierced her heart.

Their simple and sincere feelings are what she has wanted all her life, but now she still hasn't got anything except these unnecessary things, not only has she not gotten her husband's love, but even her son's love has almost been lost.

Xing Tianqi saw them gradually walking away, his eyes were full of envy, in this intriguing palace, it was too difficult to get a simple love.

Because of the rules of the palace, he lost the opportunity to beg his mother for a hug since he was a child, and he had nothing else in his childhood except to learn what a prince should learn.

He was very envious of Lan Tingxuan's relationship with Jiang Liuli, and he was also envious of his relationship with his mother, because he had never had all this.

He turned his head to look at his mother, who was dumbfounded, and then took her left hand without moving, a move that shocked her, and her body stiffened and did not move.

"Mother, in fact, we can do the same." He looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, the first time he lost the rules to hold his mother's hand, and the first time he called his mother by ordinary people's names.

"Hmm." The queen mother nodded movingly, tears almost welled up in her eyes, she didn't want her son to be spoiled by herself, but unfortunately as a queen, she should have the appearance of a queen, for the so-called queen face, she missed the opportunity to share her family with her son again and again, and this time, she will not miss it again.

At this moment, she forgot Concubine Lan and Lan Tingxuan, she just wanted to stay with her son and find the lost mother-son relationship with him.
