"Auntie, your voice—"
Jingyue immediately turned her head and answered him hastily.
"It's just that I got cold occasionally a while ago. Your Majesty, let's go there quickly, so as not to make the queen anxious."
Looking at the hurried figure in front of him, a trace of doubt passed through Long Tianyu's mind.
In the past, Aunt Jingyue only stayed by his mother's side silently. Although she was very caring towards him, she was not as gentle and kind to him as Aunt Jinyue.
Why did he have that illusion today.
It seemed that it was because the house was so quiet that he began to notice people he had never noticed before.
"It's better to take good care of yourself. Aunt Jinyue has left, and you are the only old man left by my mother's side. From now on, my mother and concubine will still have to entrust you to take care of her."
That Yun Ruo, Long Tianyu only thought it was a disaster. The reason why the relationship between the mother-in-law and Lin Mengya became what it is now, those unscrupulous slaves must be responsible for instigating it.
Aunt Jingyue's body trembled, and then she nodded heavily with a somewhat complicated expression in her eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Soon he arrived at Concubine De's elegant mansion. As soon as he entered the door, the servants coming and going congratulated him one after another. Long Tianyu had a cold face, he really didn't know where this joy came from.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has been waiting for me for a long time."
Yunruo was dressed in a pure brocade robe, with a new palace flower on her head. Long Tianyu really hates this woman. If it weren't for her, this Yaxuan would be a lot less right and wrong.
Seeing that Long Tianyu ignored her, the expression on Yunruo's face did not change at all. Instead, he smiled more and more submissively.
"Your Majesty, it would be better for you to avoid quarrels with your Majesty. No matter what, I am only here for you. You two are the dearest mother and son in the world. Why did you end up like this just for the sake of a woman?"
Yunruo's words were serious and thoughtful, but they annoyed Long Tianyu to the extreme.
"Keep your duty, and if you feel that you have lived enough, go and die yourself."
The tone was slightly cold, and the corner of Long Tianyu's eyes also had a bit of coldness. But there was not even a hint of fear on Yunruo's face.
He really is a close confidant of his mother and concubine, otherwise he would not be so confident.
"Your Majesty is really good at joking, and this servant has to keep his life to serve the Empress. Now that the Empress is getting older, she must have a suitable person by her side, right? Is it possible that the Prince is so cruel that he can't bear to leave the Empress alone? Looking after me?"
Long Tianyu looked at Yunruo in front of him for the first time, and a touch of fear flashed through his heart.
Ever since the mother-in-law brought this woman back to the house, she really needs her care all the time. Ordinarily, such inconspicuous maids can be seen everywhere, but why does the mother-in-law only listen to her
With doubts, Long Tianyu had to follow Yunruo to his mother's main room.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a burst of greasy fragrance rushed to Long Tianyu's nose. He couldn't help but frowned. He was used to smelling Lin Mengya's fresh smell, with a hint of medicinal fragrance. These too heavy powdery smells were a bit too heavy for his nose.
"Yu'er is here, come on, come to me."
Concubine De's tone was filled with unprecedented joy. She guessed it was because the person she found most annoying had temporarily disappeared from this yard.
The room in Concubine De's house was warm and a bit dry. Long Tianyu was already a little impatient, but because of the presence of outsiders, he couldn't get angry.
As he walked closer, he saw Shuyuan from a famous family standing in a row beside Concubine De. His eyes passed over the row of women, and Long Tianyu's heart immediately sank.
Mother and concubine, are you still determined not to give up
"Seeing that my mother and concubine are well, I can feel relieved. If there is nothing else, I can-"
Long Tianyu's tone was obviously displeased. But Concubine De seemed not to hear her, and instantly blocked his words.
"You kid, you are busy with national affairs all day long. Why don't you know how to be busy with your own affairs? When your father was your age, you already had several of your brothers. Look at you, Although you are married to a princess, it is not a good idea to have an empty child at your knees. These few are old friends of this palace. If you are in a good mood, my mother-in-law can make the decision for you today. "
Concubine De's words made Long Tianyu's face turn cold, and all the girls bowed their heads shyly.
They are all concubine girls in their respective families. Although their appearance is considered outstanding, they are not taken seriously by each family.
Even if they reach adulthood, they are usually married to children of powerless aristocratic families, or married to others to fill a house. Now, there is a chance to marry Prince Yu as a concubine, so naturally she is scrambling for it.
You know, although Princess Yu was of noble birth. But nothing came out, and now he has entered the palace again. If they could give birth to a son before the principal concubine, what could the principal concubine do if the mother was more valuable than the son
Therefore, at the moment, there is a hint of affection, and the friendship in his eyes is frequently shown to Prince Yu.
His hands were clenched tightly on both sides of his body.
Long Tianyu was extremely disappointed. These days, he thought that his mother-in-law was cultivating her moral character and he did not feel sorry for Lin Mengya. She already regretted what she had done before.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya had just entered the palace, and Concubine De made a comeback again.
Marrying a wife and taking concubines, why does the mother-in-law always want to forcefully interfere in his life? Why does the mother-in-law, who has always been enlightened and wise, always do these stupid things
Do you really not want the mother-son love between them anymore
"Mother and concubine, my son will not take concubines. I hope my mother and concubine can understand my son's feelings. Misses, please come back. Don't come to Prince Yu's Mansion again in the future. The princess is not here and the hospitality is not good."
Long Tianyu's tone was extremely stiff, and several women could hear the impatience in his tone. No matter how much I looked forward to it in my heart, at this moment, I still had to say goodbye in frustration.
But Concubine De was not affected by Long Tianyu at all. He just picked up the fragrant tea at hand and took a gentle sip before his eyes fell on Long Tianyu.
"Yu'er, you've started acting up again. I'm doing this for your own good. That Lin Mengya will only bring you trouble. Or do you think she can really escape from the palace unscathed?"
Long Tianyu was stunned, not because of the heart-breaking coldness in Concubine De's tone. Instead, he looked at the mother-in-law who raised him in front of him like a stranger.
Although, he was raised by his wet nurse and aunt from the time he was born.
However, as his biological mother, Concubine De taught him through words and deeds, and was generous and forthright in everything she did. Although the mother-in-law was a concubine in the harem who had to abide by the etiquette, her words and deeds revealed a wisdom that he could not help but believe.
But what happened to make his mother-in-law turn into the vicious and superficial woman in front of him
"My son, we both have been working hard in the palace for more than 20 years. We all know everyone and everything in the palace very well. Are you really like that? You are naive, do you think that your little princess can come back from the palace intact?"
Concubine De smiled as she spoke.
The smile on that graceful face was a little cruel.
Long Tianyu stood there steadily, but his eyes were stranger and colder than ever before.
"Whether the mother can come back or not is not something that the mother and concubine can say. However, if the son has something to say, he still has to advise the mother and concubine. Today is not what it used to be, so the mother-in-law and concubine should not stretch out their hands so long. To avoid suffering a broken arm. pain."
The matter has come to this point, and Long Tianyu no longer cares about the relationship between mother and son.
He had known that his mother-in-law had complaints about Lin Mengya, but he did not expect that she would go so far as to take Lin Mengya's life.
"You were born by me, do you really want to defend that bitch to this point? Yu'er, do you know that she is a stumbling block on your road. If you don't have her, my mother-in-law can choose a better one for you. Princess. Let the power of their natal family be used for your benefit. Even if the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, you can still protect yourself and be a happy prince, isn't it good?"
Is it based on emotion or reason? If it were before, Long Tianyu would really consider it.
But now, he has already developed a hard-hearted heart due to what Concubine De said. His eyes moved slightly, but Long Tianyu remained calm. Instead, he pretended to be extremely contemptuous.
"Why is the prince ascending the throne! Mother, why is it that the prince is destined to be the prince in this world!"
"Yu'er! Don't talk nonsense! The prince is the crown prince of a country, and you are his younger brother. These are all things that have been ordained for a long time. You cannot go beyond the rules!"
Concubine De's sudden sharp words made Long Tianyu stunned. After a second thought, he pretended to be helpless and walked away.
After rushing out of Concubine De's yard, Long Tianyu slowly stopped.
The furious expression on his face returned to normal. He glanced at the increasingly unfamiliar Yaxuan behind him. The body, like a monkey, hid behind a corner of the wall.
"Ye, do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate last time?"
A ghost-like figure suddenly appeared from behind him.
He knelt on the ground respectfully and said steadily:
"In Empress De Fei's Yaxuan, there are many guards who are not from the palace. I have fought with them before, and it seems that they are all secret guards in the palace. Therefore, I cannot sneak into the empress. However, these secret guards , it seems that they are not the people that the queen is accustomed to. Since the last time she returned to the palace, even the secret guards around the queen have changed. My subordinates have been looking for these people, but they seem to have disappeared out of thin air. "
Even with Ye's skill, if he couldn't get close, the palace of these people would be extraordinary.
Although Ye has the purpose of not wanting to alert the snake, there is no reason why the people around his mother and concubine would stop him from being close to Ye, right
