Listening to Mu Yexiao's words, everyone present was stunned. Qian Jiujiu did not expect that Mu Yexiao would ask directly, while the emperor frowned.
After glancing at Mu Yexiao, before Concubine Qing could speak, she spoke first: "Xiao'er, who are you listening to? Why do you ask this?"
"Of course you are your mother's child, otherwise who else could you be?"
The emperor's tone was sincere. If he hadn't frowned slightly and looked worried, everyone would probably believe him. Concubine Qing heard the emperor's words.
Then she smiled. She had been the Emperor's pillow pillow for so many years, and she was the only person the Emperor cared about. How could she not understand the Emperor
One look at the emperor and he knew that he was nervous. Was it because he was afraid that she would get the news? Looking at the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's time to expose the truth about some things."
"I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to deceive Xiao'er. Xiao'er has the right to know. What's more, whether it's to give birth to a favor or to raise a favor, I am Xiao'er's mother-in-law."
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he probably understood. Looking at Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing reached out and touched Mu Yexiao's cheek: "Xiao'er, you are indeed not my mother's child."
"My mother and concubine only found out about this when you were almost ten years old. Don't blame your father. If you have any resentment in your heart, blame me."
When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Qing'er, did you know this ten years ago?"
Concubine Qing nodded: "Yes, I knew it at that time. In fact, from the beginning, I knew that my child would not survive easily, or it would be a stillbirth from the beginning."
"Because I did not go back to Qianguo to continue planting Gu, the Gu insects in my body will suck the essence of my children, so it is difficult for my children to survive."
"Unless the poison in my body is cleansed, but no, I gave up the opportunity to have a child, just because as soon as I return to Qian Country, I know that I will never come out again."
"So you brought Xiao'er to me and said that this was my child. I was very happy at that time, thinking that I was a special case, and my child survived."
"But later, I followed the unique method of Qianguo to make Xiao'er invulnerable to all poisons. When I poisoned him, I found that Xiao'er did not have my bloodline."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she finally understood one thing, that was what she saw in Mu Yexiao's memory, about Concubine Qing poisoning Mu Yexiao.
It turned out to be for this reason, and the emperor was also surprised. The reason for surprise was that Concubine Qing had always known that she would give birth to a stillborn child, but because it was their child.
So she didn't want to miss this opportunity. No wonder Concubine Qing worked so hard when she was pregnant and still wanted to keep the child, but it was a pity that the child was stillborn.
The emperor sighed when he thought of this: "That's because I'm worried. You worked so hard to keep that child, but in the end all your efforts were wasted. I'm worried about you."
"So I discussed it with the queen, and it happened that the queen gave birth to two children. I asked the queen to give Xiao'er to you, and at that time, Master Zhiyin said."
"Xing'er will be a wise king in the future, so I promised the queen that Xing'er will be the crown prince in the future. In exchange for Xiao'er, I will raise it for you and hide it from you, saying that he is your child."
Qian Jiujiu frowned when she heard this. No wonder she could often feel the queen's faint guilt towards Mu Yexiao. Is it because of this incident
Somewhat worried about Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu reached out and grabbed Mu Yexiao's hand. Mu Yexiao smiled at Qian Jiujiu: "Father, my mother is right, no matter what, you are my mother." Concubine.”
Concubine Qing smiled happily and looked at Mu Yexiao: "I knew you were a good child. The Queen is your biological mother. Remember to honor her in the future. The Queen will have a hard life."
If anyone among the Emperor, Concubine Qing and the Empress has the most miserable life, it is undoubtedly the Empress. All the risks in this life have been given to the harem.
However, she did not receive sincere treatment from the emperor. She had been loyal to the emperor all her life, even protecting her love rival all year round. The queen had never done anything to hurt her.
Concubine Qing was so moved by this that she even gave her a child for her sake. Even if there were other reasons, it could not erase the queen's love for Concubine Qing.
After Concubine Qing finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet. Qian Jiujiu did not dare to speak about this matter. After all, it involved the emotions between the three emperors.
Except for the three of them, no one can comment. Now that he knows that Concubine Qing treats Mu Yexiao sincerely, Qian Jiujiu suddenly feels that his guard against Concubine Qing some time ago is a bit mean.
Concubine Qing glanced apologetically. Concubine Qing received Qian Jiujiu's eyes and was a little confused, but soon she smiled and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this hot spring has also taken a dip. Let's go back to the palace today."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mu Yexiao again: "Xiao'er, it's rare for the Xiao family to come here. Let them have fun in Kyoto and at least attend the crown prince's canonization ceremony before leaving."
"That day is also the prince's wedding. It will definitely be very lively, so it's good to join in the fun."
After listening to Concubine Qing's words, the Emperor stood up and looked at Concubine Qing: "Okay, let's go then."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu also planned to return to the city. After all, the crown prince's canonization ceremony was about to begin. There were still two days left, and the prince's poison had not been released yet.
After thinking for a while, Qian Jiujiu spoke: "Then mother, father, and daughter-in-law should go back together. There are many things going on in Kyoto. As for the Xiao family, they can live here."
"When the day of the crown prince's canonization comes and people from the Xiao family are invited to come, what do you think, mother and concubine?"
Concubine Qing thought for a while and nodded: "That's very good, then let's pack up and go back to Beijing together."
In Kyoto, because the crown prince is about to be canonized, the whole capital seems to be full of joy. The prince's wedding and canonization are all on the same day, and the people in the Ministry of Etiquette are the busiest.
The ministers who were busy making arrangements did not dare to relax for a moment. They were waiting for the day of the crown prince's canonization. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu first sent the emperor and queen back to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao: "Don't you need to go see the Queen?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "No need for now, we have time to meet anyway."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned and sighed. He must have had a grudge in his heart. After bidding farewell to the Emperor and Concubine Qing, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu got into the carriage.
They went back to Prince Xiao's Mansion together. On the carriage, Qian Jiujiu saw Mu Yexiao in a daze and couldn't help but reach out and grab Mu Yexiao's hand: "What are you thinking about?"
"You don't understand why the Queen did this, do you? Why did she send you out? Are you resenting the Queen?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "I don't know either, Jiu'er, I suddenly got this news, can you please let me be quiet for a while? Yesterday's plan was interrupted by Xiaoman, I guess people from Qianguo will still come to investigate."
"What are you going to do about this matter?"
At this time, Qian Jiujiu was no longer in the mood to take advantage of the situation, and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "Anyway, you and your mother and concubine have made it clear. Even if the people of Qian Kingdom know that you don't have the blood of Qian Kingdom, It doesn’t matter anymore.”
"Besides, you are the famous God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can you be so calculating? Don't you think so? Just do whatever you have to do about this matter."
Mu Yexiao also nodded. Mu Yexiao was not in the mood now. He was talking about these things and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "By the way, what happened to the poison in the prince's body?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "Last time Xiaoman said he was a little agitated, so I asked Xiaoman to change the prescription."
Speaking of this, Qian Jiujiu's brows were still a little worried. Originally, he was thinking that King Xiao was being plotted, had no memory, and was close to Princess Qingling.
Maybe we can find out from the idiot Princess Qingling who the poison in the prince's body belongs to, but Mu Yexiao is not in the mood right now, and Qian Jiujiu understands that.
I'm afraid that Mu Yexiao, in addition to being resentful towards the queen, is also a little alienated from Mu Yexing. In order for Mu Yexing to gain the title of prince, he chose to give him to Concubine Qing.
At this point, Mu Yexiao felt that he had been abandoned, and it was definitely uncomfortable in his heart. Qian Jiujiu felt a little distressed. Mu Yexiao suddenly reached out and pulled Qian Jiujiu into his arms.
"Jiu'er, let me hug you, I feel uncomfortable."
Qian Jiujiu reached out and hugged Mu Yexiao. She had never seen Mu Yexiao in such a state. The carriage was walking slowly, and Qian Jiujiu also heard Mu Yexiao's voice.
"Actually, I have always been very proud. My father and mother truly love each other. My father is the emperor, but he can also give my mother the purest love because of the relationship between mother and concubine."
"I have been the most beloved child in the palace since I was a child, but it turns out that I am just a substitute for a dead baby. Jiu'er, I feel bad."
Qian Jiujiu blinked, reached out and held Mu Yexiao's face, looked at Mu Yexiao, and then kissed Mu Yexiao's lips: "No, you are not a substitute."
"The Emperor's love for you is sincere, and Concubine Qing's love for you is also sincere. Look, does Concubine Qing have any changes towards you because she knows that you are not her son?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head, and Qian Jiujiu took the opportunity to persuade: "Yes, so Concubine Qing really loves you. They are great parents, and the queen mother also loves you."
"I believe you can feel it too. If you really can't figure it out, think about it slowly. In fact, you are very happy. You get much, much more love than Mu Yexing."
"So don't get into trouble anymore. At least, you still have me, and I will stay with you for the rest of your life. Mu Yexing will definitely not find this kind of lifelong relationship between two people."
