"Mother," the queen mother couldn't get out of bed, so Zhong Zhiheng went into the queen mother's bedroom. Respectfully kowtowed to the queen mother, then sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding the empress dowager's thin hand. Zhong Zhiheng touched her hand repeatedly, and couldn't help frowning. "Mother, why are you losing weight again?"
The Empress Dowager didn't answer, she raised her eyes and looked around the bedroom, and then all the palace people retreated respectfully.
"Mother, are you still angry with your son?" Zhong Zhiheng looked at the Empress Dowager's expression, and slowly let go of the Empress Dowager's hand.
The queen mother looked at him coldly, sighed for a while and shook her head. He turned his face away. While lightly saying: "You promised Siyao before that you would take good care of Mingwei."
Xu Siyao, the Empress Dowager's biological niece. Zhong Zhiheng's cousin. Also the late Jin Hyun Queen. The biological mother of the deposed prince Zhong Mingwei.
"If Siyao knew what a serious crime her son had committed, I don't think Siyao would cover up her parents. Siyao has always been the most righteous woman that I admire," Zhong Zhiheng looked at the Queen Mother. Said softly word by word, while holding his lips slightly, "Siyao was raised by my mother. My mother knows Siyao's conduct better than my son, mother, don't you think so?"
"You! You! Don't say such high-sounding words! I know you don't like Ming Wei, I don't blame you if you don't like Ming Wei, it's fine if my old lady loves him, but you are your biological child after all. , How could you be so cruel?!" The queen mother suddenly became agitated, she pointed at Zhong Zhiheng with trembling fingers, her dim eyes were about to split open, "If you treat Ming Wei like this, you won't be afraid that Siyao will come to claim your life?! You won't be afraid Yeye Siyao crying to you in her dream?!"
"Mother, I'm afraid you don't know. For thirty-two years, Siyao has never entered my dream." Zhong Zhiheng held his lips bitterly, while sighing quietly, "It would be great if she could enter my dream." Even if it's a nightmare? But she never enters my dreams, mother, why do you think Siyao is so cruel?"
The queen mother looked at the sad and torn face on his face, and couldn't help but soften her heart. After all, it was the flesh that fell from her body. How could she not feel pain
"Your majesty, you have such deep affection for Siyao, so you should take good care of Mingwei. How can you let others blame and slander Mingwei? He is Siyao's son!" The queen mother held Zhong Zhiheng's hand, Keke said in a hurry, "I am a woman in the harem who doesn't care about worldly affairs. I know that there must be someone here who is sincerely trying to blame Ming Wei. How can you, a father, not understand? How can you still be a pawn for a tiger and kill your own son?" Sent to such a desolate place? Your Majesty, let Ming Wei come back. Even if you really don’t want him to be the crown prince, you can just let him be the Prince of Ping’an. Where can Ming Wei stay in Ninggu Pagoda? …”
"Queen Mother!" Zhong Zhiheng suddenly interrupted the Queen Mother. He looked coldly at the eyes of the Queen Mother who were wet with excitement. He shook the Queen Mother's hand, and even his voice became colder, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is yours. How come the Empress Dowager has completely forgotten the rules that concubines in the harem are required to keep in mind?"
"Zhong Zhiheng!" The queen mother was almost hysterical. After the sound, the queen mother regained her composure. She looked at Zhong Zhiheng coldly, and finally said calmly, "The family is exhausted, so you can step back."
"Yes, mother, sleep well. My son will come to see you in a few days." Zhong Zhiheng slowly got up and walked out of the bedroom.
