"Poison?" King Qi was startled. "Didn't I let you take Changsheng away in advance?"
"That poison might have been brought from the mother's womb. Not long ago, Xia Qianqian was also poisoned by that poison. When investigating, we led them to King Qin." Master Gu whispered.
The King of Qi's face changed drastically. He forced himself to sit up and coughed violently: "King of Qin, King of Qin... How dare he!"
"Your Highness, please don't get excited." Master Gu hurriedly patted his chest to help him calm down.
The maid and nanny nearby saw this and hurried over to bring water and medicine.
After a while, the King of Qi finally recovered.
He held Master Gu's hand tightly: "King Qin is so cruel, he wants to destroy her when he can't get her. Poor Yurong once saved his life!"
"The King of Qin is vicious. The most important thing right now is to let Changsheng return to his roots as soon as possible." said Mr. Gu.
"Of course, I have already arranged it. I am just waiting for the princess's consent..." The King of Qi sighed, "Alas, I am sorry for the princess. Because of Yurong, she has been carrying a lot of infamy over the years."
"I am not wronged!"
As he was speaking, the Princess of Qi walked into the room with tears in her eyes.
She heard everything that happened between Prince Qi and Mr. Gu!
“If Your Majesty is willing, Changsheng will be my son. He has been missing since birth and I have been searching for him for many years in the palace before finally finding him. As for Yurong… let her rest in peace in the ground and do not disturb her anymore.” Princess Qi knelt in front of the King’s bed and pleaded in tears.
The King of Qi and Master Gu exchanged glances secretly and said, "Princess, are you really willing?"
"Yes, I am willing!" Princess Qi nodded vigorously. "Yurong was a maidservant in the palace of the late emperor. If people knew that Changsheng was the child of the prince and her, it would bring disaster. I did not want to tolerate her back then, but now... I am willing to take on everything for Yurong!"
"Princess, you are wise!" Mr. Gu was overjoyed. He turned around, knelt down, and kowtowed to Princess Qi continuously.
The King of Qi trembled and stretched out his hand: "Princess, I am useless now. The King of Qi's Palace depends on you."
"Your Highness, Changsheng is here and is waiting outside the door. Please go and meet him!" said Princess Qi.
"Okay." The King of Qi nodded, a strange light flashing in his turbid eyes.
Princess Qi stood up, tilted her head and called out, "Changsheng, come in."
"yes."
Gu Changsheng lifted his robe and came in, kneeling respectfully: "Son... greets father."
"Raise your head." King Qi said gently.
Gu Changsheng slowly raised his head.
The two looked at each other, and the King of Qi looked at Gu Changsheng's young face, tears streaming down his face: "It's you, it's really you... Your nose looks like mine, and your eyes look like your mother..."
Gu Changsheng was not excited and continued to kneel calmly.
The King of Qi thought that he had some grudges, and said sadly: "Changsheng, father is sorry for you..."
"There are too many rules, which make people helpless. I don't blame my father." Gu Changsheng smiled slightly, "What my father and mother did back then was right."
The King of Qi was stunned: "Eternal life?"
"Marrying a palace maid privately is a crime. The King of Qin wants more than just the military power in your father's hands. My mother insisted on not letting you take a concubine because she was considering the entire Prince Qi's Mansion. She let me live in Pingning Town to save my life. You are all right." Gu Changsheng said.
In the eyes of adults, there is only interest, no right or wrong!
With his vision, he would not limit himself to fighting his stepmother or avenging his biological mother. What he wanted was to overthrow the King of Qin completely!
The system that prohibited the King of Qin and the feudal dynasty from marrying palace maids privately was the real reason that killed Yurong!
