Listening to the Queen's words, Mu Yexiao suddenly smiled bitterly: "Yes, in your eyes, you only want the Crown Prince, right? Everything must be for the Crown Prince, everything is for the Crown Prince, right?"
"For the sake of the prince, you can give me to someone else. For the sake of the prince, you can let the sister who has been with you for half your life die! I am very curious, Queen, if one day."
"For the sake of the prince, will you choose to sacrifice me as well?"
As Mu Yexiao spoke, he stared at the queen. The queen looked shocked and said to Mu Yexiao: "Xiao'er, you know everything?"
As soon as she said this, tears started to flow down her cheeks. She looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "Xiao'er, your mother had no choice but to do it. If Concubine Qing knew that her child was dead."
"She will definitely be very sad. You don't understand how much the emperor loves her. In order to prevent Concubine Qing from being sad, the emperor can do anything."
Mu Yexiao looked at the Queen without any belief: "You can continue to make up stories. I know very well what kind of person our father is. Don't you want to do it?"
"Father will kill you and take your child away."
The queen was very sad to hear this, but she nodded firmly: "Yes, if I didn't agree and make a request at that time, the emperor would definitely announce that the dead baby was born by me."
"And I also died of excessive grief. The emperor was willing to sacrifice his own life for Concubine Qing. I fully believe that the emperor would have done it at that time."
"I have to live to see that my children are all well. Concubine Qing treats you well, and I am grateful in my heart. But this gratitude is just a trace of gratitude."
"Not as important as my child, Xiao'er. I know you can't adapt to it for a while, but I have a clear conscience towards you."
"Have I ever treated you badly over the years? Apart from not being able to give you the title of legitimate son, has my love for you diminished in the slightest?"
"I don't feel guilty about sending you away. Under the circumstances at that time, I had to do this to have a hope of survival. You will never know."
"I was so happy when I gave birth, but the emperor came soon after. I thought he was happy because he heard that I gave birth to twins."
"But he said, I have two children, and Concubine Qing's child died, so I should give her a child. He said, I am the queen."
"We should understand the greater good..."
The Queen said this with great pain: "In fact, it's not that I don't love your father. I have thought about it before, even if the Emperor will love Concubine Qing."
"If you give me even a little bit, I will be willing to sacrifice everything for him and protect the people he cares about. But I only realized it after he took you away."
"No, the emperor has no affection for me. The only use of me is to protect Concubine Qing. Otherwise, I will stay in the harem."
"I'm afraid I would have already become a pile of bones, and there would be no such thing as today. So my feelings for the emperor have long since faded, because I don't want to be like the other concubines in this palace."
"Because of something that is out of reach, you are sending yourself to a dead end."
Qian Jiujiu was also sighing after listening to this. Huang Gou was the mother of a country, but she was just like her, unable to get the love she wanted all her life, and even had to live cautiously.
Protecting her two children, she was originally a little dissatisfied with the Queen's decision, thinking that she was cruel, but Qian Jiujiu knew.
In this matter, no one can blame a great mother. Looking at Mu Yexiao, Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "Do you think I will believe what you said?"
"I don't believe a word of it, Jiuer, let's go."
As he spoke, Mu Yexiao pulled Qian Jiujiu out of the Queen's palace. Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao's angry face and asked, "Why are you so angry?"
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "My biological mother is so evil that she killed my adoptive mother. But because she is my biological mother, I can't avenge my adoptive mother. Am I not brave enough to be angry?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes, but did not let Mu Yexiao see it. Instead, she held Mu Yexiao's hand and said, "You are prejudiced against the Queen. Actually, I believe what she said."
"Let's go, let's go to mother's palace. I always feel that something might happen to father."
Mu Yexiao frowned and said, "I'll go to the Ministry of Rites first. My father asked me to tell the Ministry of Rites that the crown prince's enthronement the day after tomorrow will be changed to the crown prince's ascension to the throne. This is a more important matter."
"You go with me. After I inform everyone about this matter, we will go back to see the emperor. At least we should persuade him to mourn less!"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Okay."
So the two of them went to the home of the Minister of Rites while it was still dark. After they had settled their affairs, they wanted to enter the palace, only to find that the palace gate had been closed. Mu Yexiao sighed.
Seeing the complicated expressions in the palace, he said, "Let's go back home first and go in tomorrow."
The two returned home and went back to their room after having dinner. However, the two children fell asleep under the care of the wet nurse. When they returned to the room, Mu Yexiao immediately held Qian Jiujiu in his arms.
"Fortunately, I didn't trap you in the palace. We are both free. It's great."
Qian Jiujiu sighed, and knew what Mu Yexiao was talking about. She couldn't help but hug Mu Yexiao back and said, "Yes, I am so lucky to have met you in this life!"
"It's getting late. There will be a lot of things to do tomorrow. The Emperor will definitely arrange for my mother's funeral to be held after the Crown Prince ascends the throne."
Mu Yexiao thought that Qian Jiujiu was also tired, so he closed his eyes and rested with Qian Jiujiu. Early the next morning, Mu Yexiao went to the palace with Qian Jiujiu.
They did not go to the Queen's palace to pay their respects, but came directly to Concubine Qing's palace. Caixiu was still guarding the door, and only spoke after seeing the two people coming.
"This servant greets Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao."
Mu Yexiao glanced at Caixiu and said, "Get up. Has the father ever come out?"
Caixiu shook her head: "No, the emperor has not come out since he went in yesterday."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other. Mu Yexiao hesitated for a long time before walking over and knocking on the door: "Father, I ask you to open the door."
But after Mu Yexiao finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but still didn't hear the sound of the door opening. He and Qian Jiujiu could not help but look at each other, and Mu Yexiao suddenly started knocking on the door hard.
"Father, please open the door..."
Before the two entered, they heard the eunuch's voice behind them: "The Queen has arrived, the Prince has arrived..."
It turned out that the prince came to the palace to visit the Queen today, and also wanted to visit Concubine Qing, so he went to the Queen's palace first, and under the guidance of the Queen, he came to Concubine Qing's palace.
Then she saw Mu Yexiao knocking on the door anxiously. The queen opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Mu Yexing looked at the two of them.
His eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and he felt that there might be something wrong between them, so he spoke: "Sixth brother, what's going on?"
"It's a bit inappropriate to yell in the Imperial Concubine's palace so early in the morning. The Imperial Concubine is seriously ill, and you will disturb her..."
The Crown Prince was not very clear about the news that Concubine Qing committed suicide by taking poison. After all, he left early and the Queen did not tell him. He cared about Concubine Qing as much as Mu Yexiao Qian Jiujiu did.
So he just thought that Concubine Qing was seriously ill. Mu Yexiao looked back at Mu Yexing and retracted his gaze: "Father has been in there for a long time. Caixiu said that he has never come out."
"So this king is very anxious."
After he finished speaking, Mu Yexiao ignored the Crown Prince and the Queen and started knocking on the door: "Father, please open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, I will be rude."
"I am about to knock on the door..."
Even though he was going to bang on the door, there was still no movement from inside. Mu Yexiao got anxious and actually started banging on the door. It took him several bangs before he managed to force it open.
He saw two people lying on the bed inside. Mu Yexiao ran over quickly. When Mu Yexiao pushed the door open, several people behind him followed.
Not only Concubine Qing looked pale, but the Emperor's face was also pale, and Mu Yexiao stood by the bed as if he was frozen in place.
After a long time, Mu Yexiao moved, stretched out his fingers, and probed the breath of the emperor and Concubine Qing, but finally fell to the ground.
He was mumbling to himself: "No breathing, no breathing..."
Qian Jiujiu was shocked. The Queen originally said that the Emperor might kill the Queen for Concubine Qing. Although she believed it, she thought it was too exaggerated.
But what was going on? A great emperor actually committed suicide for a woman!
Qian Jiujiu was very shocked. Such things were extremely rare even if they happened among ordinary people, let alone in the royal family where there had never been true love since ancient times.
This shocked Qian Jiujiu even more. He subconsciously looked at the queen, only to see that her eyes were filled with tears, falling drop by drop.
Looking at the queen like this, Qian Jiujiu was curious in her heart. At this moment, she wondered what the queen was thinking in her heart? Did she regret not stopping Concubine Qing from committing suicide by taking poison
Her choice of the crown prince was tantamount to killing Concubine Qing and the emperor in disguise. One was a sister who had been with her for half her life, and the other was her husband. Even her death was treated as an outsider.
Even pushing hands, Qian Jiujiu felt reluctant, the Queen must be the most uncomfortable at this time. Looking at Mu Yexiao, Mu Yexiao's body was shaking slightly at this time.
Qian Jiujiu felt a little reluctant. In fact, although the emperor was not a good emperor, at least the country was peaceful and the people were safe during his years in power, and he loved Mu Yexiao very much.
He subconsciously walked to Mu Yexiao's side, stretched out his hand to hold Mu Yexiao, and gave Mu Yexiao silent power. Mu Yexiao was just stunned and seemed unable to react.
