"The son is useless, the son is sorry for the concubine mother," Zhong Ming'e couldn't get up. Instead, she hugged Concubine Shu's leg and began to cry, "Concubine Mother. My son is sorry for you. It's all because of my son's disappointment. Please punish my son..."
Concubine Shu's heart was broken by his crying. The two well-maintained hands resting on Zhong Ming'e's shoulders trembled slightly. She sniffed, but she didn't let herself cry. After calming down, she slowly sat up straight before speaking again. It's definitely not as warm and kind as before.
"You know it well. Then I have nothing more to say to you," Concubine Shu said in a deep voice, looking at Zhong Ming'e who was kneeling in front of her and choked with sobs. Every word seems to have thorns. "Today. Seeing that the third child is wearing a more noble pro-royal uniform than you, and seeing Da'an's big belly. Isn't it a good feeling? You also know that there are many gossips inside and outside the palace, right? The first two days Today, your father mentioned you. After asking you and Mrs. Zou when he can let him have a grandson, how do you ask me to respond? You are worthless, so you should be so embarrassing. Why do you let him This palace is also full of embarrassment in the palace?"
"Mother Concubine..." Zhong Ming'e looked at Concubine Shu with tears in his eyes. He was no longer as angry and embarrassed as before, but seemed to be broken, "Mother Concubine, I am sorry for you. It is all my fault. It's useless, you scold me and beat me..."
"I want to scold you and beat you! Beat you until you change your sex!" Concubine Shu couldn't see him looking so useless, she just gritted her teeth in hatred, her hands tightly grasped Zhong Ming'e's shoulders, her breathing became rough with anger , The mother and son were in such a stalemate. Suddenly, Concubine Shu let go, she withdrew her hand, took a handkerchief and wiped the wet corners of her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I will not tell you this in the future." Having said that, you can do whatever you want, and I will treat you as if I didn't have a son like you."
"Concubine mother!" Zhong Ming'e's throat was so sore that it was unbearable. The concubine mother called out, and his whole body lost strength. He sat down on the ground and cried even harder. He covered his face and twitched all over his body. "Mother, don't... don't force me..."
"I never thought of forcing you, you are the one who has been forcing me!" Concubine Shu's voice suddenly doubled, as if she had suppressed it for too long and could no longer bear it anymore, but after the sound came out, she He pulled his lips weakly again, showing an extremely bitter smile, "Ming'e, if you are a princess, I am afraid that the status of the palace will not be as good as it is now, but life must be much easier than now, and there is no need to be with the harem. For most of her life, women who have been fighting openly and secretly, don't need to be thoughtful when doing things and speaking, such a cautious and prudent life, I have spent thirty years in this palace, and it is all because of you."
"Ming'e, you are the prince. Since the day you were born, it is impossible for you to stay away from these disputes and entanglements. Don't you know?" Concubine Shu looked at Zhong Ming'e who was still crying, and couldn't help but say a long word. With a sigh, he continued, "The eldest prince is abolished. Now who knows, Long Live Lord will choose between you and Prince Rong to be the crown prince in the future? Even if you give up now and don't want to fight, isn't it true that Prince Rong is the prince?" Will you be let off? The Zhao family will let our Cui family go? Ming'e, you have to know that what you hold in your hands is not only your own wealth and life, but also my palace and our Cui family. The family of the family, and even the family of the Zou family, everyone’s wealth and life!” At this point, Concubine Shu became visibly agitated, she pointed at Zhong Ming’e with trembling fingers, and even her voice trembled violently, “Today, You cry like this, and lightly say that you are useless and useless, is this the end of the matter? Ming'e, you are joking about the lives of hundreds of people from Cui's family and Zou's family ! Do you even know?!"
"Mother Concubine, I don't..." Zhong Ming'e looked like a frightened little animal, his face was full of panic and distress, his eyes were wide open, his thin cheeks were full of tears, he just looked at Concubine Shu helplessly and in panic, Seeing Concubine Shu's finger pointing at him, and seeing Concubine Shu's expression of sorrow and hatred, finally, his pale lips trembled, and the words he said were no longer as pitiful as before, "Mother Concubine, I was wrong."
He no longer cried or panicked, wiped his wet face vigorously, and regained the composure, calmness, and determination that a prince should have.
