Murong Zheng was shocked by the arrival of the queen.
According to his understanding of the queen, it would be difficult for her to come back after she left. However, he did not expect that more than two hours later, she came back with a calm look.
Behind her, followed Concubine Jin, who also had a calm expression.
He looked at Concubine Jin inquiringly, and indeed did not see any worry in her eyes. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little more self-deprecating. See, she really didn't care about him.
It was at this time that Murong Zheng realized that no one around him cared about him anymore.
The Empress Dowager didn't even care about his life or death. The Queen left after seeing him wake up. Concubine Jin, who didn't know that she had cured herself of the poison, looked even more indifferent at this time.
Yes, and there is also Concubine Dong, the woman he has favored for more than ten years. She even wishes she could die so that her son can be fulfilled.
"Since you don't care about my life or death, why are you here?" Murong Zheng said angrily, and his tone was like that of a child who had suffered a grievance.
Concubine Jin couldn't help but glance at the Queen. The Queen was also stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect Murong Zheng's first sentence would be this.
"Mrs. Dong asked Eunuch Wan to convey the imperial decree that the position of crown prince belongs to Murong Jie." The queen spoke softly. She knew that Murong Zheng knew about this, and she now wanted to know Murong Zheng's attitude towards this matter.
But Murong Zheng didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear what she said.
"Is this the emperor's intention or Mrs. Dong's intention?" Seeing the emperor's silence, the queen could not help but ask.
"Everyone means the same thing. Murong Jie is already the crown prince." Murong Zheng was very annoyed. What he wanted now was not for others to care about the crown prince or Concubine Dong. He hoped that the queen's eyes and thoughts would be on him, so he spoke with a bit of anger.
"It turns out that because of that incident, the emperor was willing to give up the kingdom of Great Zhou."
After Concubine Jin finished speaking in a cold voice, she sat down on a chair not far away and looked at Murong Zheng coldly, her eyes full of disappointment.
"The country belongs to me, Jie'er is my son, so why can't I pass the throne to him? Just because he is Dong's son, it's not okay? In my opinion, Dong is much stronger than you."
There was still anger in Murong Zheng's words. He looked at the two people in front of him with annoyance. They were obviously his queen and concubine, but there was not even the slightest respect for him in their eyes.
"Your Majesty wants to pass the throne to his son, which is nothing, but if your son is unable to carry the Great Zhou, then we don't need to say anything. The Empress Dowager will naturally not let you do whatever you want. Today, I and Concubine Jin came here to let Your Majesty know that we are not as heartless as Your Majesty thinks. It is Your Majesty who has been pampering Dong all these years and hurting the hearts of the concubines in the harem."
"I am willing to pamper her, she deserves my pampering." Murong Zheng naturally understood that the Queen had had a hard time in recent years because of Mrs. Dong, but when he heard her say this, he instinctively objected.
"Just because she blocked a sword for you back then? Didn't the emperor ever wonder all these years, was it really her?"
The queen spoke lightly, and when the words fell, she successfully saw Murong Zheng's face froze.
He looked at the Queen, then at Concubine Jin, and his heart suddenly began to panic.
Just as the queen said, when he calmed down these years, he often thought that Dong's character was not like someone who would risk her life to protect him in a critical moment. But every time he had such a thought, he told himself that someone who loved him so much would block a sword for him at a critical moment, so she must love him very much, and that love may have already penetrated into her bones, and she herself could not even feel it.
