Imperial Concubine Jin was the last one to know that Murong Kai was unconscious after being tortured. When she heard the young eunuch talking about this, she was talking to her niece, the eldest daughter of the Xie family. The two of them got along very well, and Imperial Concubine Jin became more and more satisfied with her niece.
The young eunuch who received the letter hesitated for a long time before he spoke to Imperial Concubine Jin. After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Jin held her niece's hand and hurried towards Murong Kai's bedroom.
“Aunt, if Rushuang passes away like this…” The eldest daughter of the Xie family lowered her head shyly as she spoke.
"He is your future husband. It's just right that you go to see him since he is sick. You can stay there and take care of his daily life. As you two get to know each other for a long time, he will know how good you are." Imperial Noble Concubine Jin did not forget to make her own plans when she went to see Murong Kai.
When they arrived, the Queen and the Emperor were already in Murong Kai's bedroom. Both of them looked very ugly, as if they had just had a big fight.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, although you are Akai's biological parents, he was raised by me and the Grand Empress Dowager. When you decided to send him to the Ministry of Punishment with his illness, he was returned to you. If he dies, it means that he has repaid your kindness. If he lives, he is my son. You don't have to worry about anything about him."
The queen shouted angrily at the two people in front of her.
One of these two people was her husband whom she had loved for nearly twenty years, and the other was her only best friend in this deep palace.
But it was these two who forced Akai into his current situation.
"What are you talking about, sister? The emperor and I just want him to learn a lesson, how can that mean you want to kill her?"
"I am his mother. Everything I do is for his own good. No one needs to question this." Imperial Concubine Jin felt extremely annoyed when she heard the Queen's convincing words.
"No matter if you are her mother or not, no matter if you are doing this for her good or not, because of you, his life or death is once again in danger. The Empress Dowager said that if you do not love this child, then I have the right to act at my own will."
As the queen spoke, she took out the jade pendant in her hand. This jade pendant was exactly the same as Ah Man's previous one. The jade was transparent, but the flying phoenix carved on it looked like a chicken but not a chicken, which made it hard to describe.
"The Empress Dowager has known about it a long time ago..." Seeing the Queen holding the Empress Dowager's token in her hand, Murong Zheng was extremely shocked.
"The Empress Dowager's jade pendant is here, so the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort should leave." Murong Kai is still in a coma, and the Queen is too lazy to argue with Murong Zheng and the Imperial Noble Consort. She asked them to leave now just because she didn't want Murong Kai to see them after he woke up. She was worried that Murong Kai would be unhappy.
"No matter how powerful the Empress Dowager is, she can't stop a mother from seeing her own son, right? Queen, you have been encouraging Akai to marry Princess Jiaoyang of Bei'an. I don't know what you are thinking. If you hadn't instigated it, Akai wouldn't have become alienated from me, his mother, and he wouldn't have even refused the imperial edict from his father."
"The Emperor and I are Akai's parents. You are the real outsider. Even if the Empress Dowager comes, she is still an outsider. None of you have the right to interfere in the affairs of mother and son."
Imperial Noble Consort Jin became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and in the end she even blamed the Grand Empress Dowager.
"Speaking of selfishness, my biggest selfishness is that I don't want Akai's life to be the same as before." The queen had a kind temperament and rarely got angry, but when she saw Imperial Noble Concubine Jin's righteous look, she couldn't help but get angry.
"How Ah Kai will live in the future will naturally be taken care of by his father and mother, so there is no need for an outsider like you to worry about it."
There was a lot of sarcasm in Imperial Concubine Jin's words. In her opinion, the Queen was an outsider and she would not care about her son's life or death.
