Chapter 406 Mother and Son Accuse Each Other

"But do you know that my father can give me anything except the kingdom of Wei? Your plan has failed a long time ago. Isn't it ridiculous?

You designed a trap, but you didn't know that you were already a part of it, and your father had already jumped out of it, silently watching you kill yourself step by step and return to his hands. "

Wei Hanyi raised her head in surprise and looked at the King of Qi in surprise, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes. She didn't expect that the scheme she had painstakingly laid out had already been discovered by the Emperor of Wei.

He had known for a long time that the King of Qi was not his son. Even so, out of his guilt towards her, he was willing to raise the child she left behind.

Even if the child is someone else's, he will never tire of holding the child in his hands.

If that's the case, when he sees me, does he still feel the same attachment to me as before? Does he still feel the same reluctance to let her die?

"Qing'er! What's wrong with you?" Wei Hanyi was startled when she suddenly found that the King of Qi was holding his stomach. "Don't scare me! Qing'er! What's wrong with you?"

The King of Qi fell to his knees in stomachache, his face pale and beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

His eyes turned red, like a beast that was about to go berserk at any time.

"What else can I do? You abandoned me when you were born. Although my father cares for me, he is a man after all, and he can't take good care of me.

The imperial physician said that I had this disease since childhood, and if it was not cured, I would die of pain. Doctor Du from Liang County City prescribed medicine for me, which cost 10,000 taels of silver per can.

The medicine is very effective, and the pain will stop immediately after drinking it. But now I am imprisoned, and I didn’t bring the medicine with me. Who will go to the Qi Wang Mansion to get it for me?

When you were enjoying yourself in the Northern Palace, did you ever think about your eldest son's suffering? Suffering from illness? Since you were leaving, why didn't you take me with you?

You left me behind just to live happily with that wimp and his brother?"

"Qing'er! You can't blame mother. For you, your brother came to Da Wei to learn martial arts since he was a child." Wei Hanyi didn't want to hear her son blaming her. "For you, mother gave you everything she should have given. It's you who didn't live up to your expectations and couldn't climb to that position."

"I don't live up to expectations? Hehehe! It's so funny! How can I live up to expectations?" The King of Qi asked Wei Hanyi, "Father knew that I was not his son. He must be a fool to put me in that position.

Besides, if he hadn't thought you were dead, he might have imprisoned me a long time ago. Do you still expect me to fight for my honor?"

Wei Hanyi was speechless when asked. Indeed, if the emperor had known that the Prince of Qi was not his son, he would definitely not have given the position of crown prince to him.

It seems that she underestimated the emperor's ability.

She thought she had given birth to the eldest prince, and since she had escaped death, her son had a great chance of being made the crown prince. However, she did not expect to fail at the last moment, as she had miscalculated.

"You are a selfish woman who can give up everything for your own selfish interests." The King of Qi held his stomach, sat on the ground, and angrily accused, "I have verified the affairs of the Wei family. The former Prime Minister Wei Lie sold out his country for personal gain and colluded with the ministers of the Northern Kingdom. The evidence is irrefutable. The late emperor sentenced the Wei family to confiscation of property, exile and immediate execution. It is not excessive at all."

"Qing'er! How can you say that about your grandfather?"

Wei Hanyi didn't expect that the King of Qi would actually dig up what happened back then. She had lived in the Northern Kingdom for so many years, so of course she knew that her father was in collusion with the Northern Kingdom's ministers.

It was she who ordered the Dark Sword to massacre that minister, his family, and all the clan members overnight. The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom sent people to investigate for a long time but could not find out who did it.

Although she lost a lot of money, she got the satisfactory result she wanted.

"What else can I say? You sold out your country for fame and still want to be praised?" The King of Qi showed disdain on his face, "Although you gave birth to me, you didn't fulfill your responsibilities as a mother.

The Wei family is a complete stranger to me, why should I speak well of such a person? "

Wei Hanyi looked at his eldest son in astonishment, who was so close to him. He felt such a strange stranger. The excitement and guilt he felt when they first met were all gone, leaving only strangeness.

"Do you hate the Wei family so much?"

"I can't say I hate you, I just feel helpless. Why did I crawl out of your belly? Why am I not a prince of Wei? But a bastard?"

The King of Qi laughed out loud after he finished speaking, but his stomach was hurting so much that after only two laughs, a look of unbearable pain reappeared on his face.

This time the pain was so severe that it was unbearable.

He hadn't felt this bad in a long time. There were medicines in the dark room of his study, but unfortunately he couldn't get them.

His father would not allow him to go back to get medicine. He was afraid that he would die in pain here today.

Holding his stomach and curled up on the ground, the King of Qi closed his eyes and bit his lower lip.

Wei Hanyi sat aside and watched, his eyes calm and without the previous pity and kindness.

She just looked on coldly, without any ripples in her heart.

This eldest son was a stranger to her, a very strange one. Although they had exchanged letters, they only exchanged a few brief sentences, without sufficient understanding.

Today, the mother and son met and sat down face to face to get to know each other. She found that he had no feelings for her at all.

After all, he was not raised by her side, and the only person in his heart was the Emperor of Wei.

Unfortunately, that was not his father. What was the point even if he was closer?

At this moment in the imperial study, the emperor and the empress were closely following every detail of the meeting between Wei Hanyi and Prince Qi through a small hole.

Seeing the King of Qi fall to the ground with stomach pain, the Queen said: "We can't let him die like this, we have to summon the imperial physician to treat him."

The emperor glanced at her and said, "Don't worry! I won't let him die so easily. The mother and son haven't started to blame, quarrel, or curse each other yet."

The chief eunuch Liu Xiaowu was the one who could best understand the emperor's mind. After hearing the emperor's words, he quickly arranged for someone to deliver medicine to the King of Qi.

The Prince of Qi's mansion has now been confiscated, and all the female members of the family have been sent back to their parents' homes, with servants and other menial servants filling the ranks as official slaves.

The secret room in the Prince of Qi's study was also found, and two pills were handed to the emperor. Seeing that he was in great pain, he asked Liu Xiaowu to send him one.

The King of Qi was rolling on the ground in excruciating pain. When he saw a young eunuch coming to him with a bamboo tube, he snatched it away as if it were a treasure, unscrewed the lid, and drank from it.

Wei Hanyi was watching from the side, like a bystander, cold and heartless.

After drinking the medicine, the eunuch left, and the King of Qi's complexion improved visibly.

The pain in his stomach was slowly easing, bit by bit, and he sat up from the ground little by little, and finally stood up.

"Doctor Du's medicine is simply a miracle drug. It can relieve pain after taking it. It's a pity that it's too expensive."

"Good things are naturally expensive." Wei Hanyi added, "Liangjun City? Your brother has also been to Liangjun City, why didn't you ask him to go see Doctor Du to check his leg?"

The King of Qi looked unhappy: "How do you know I didn't let him go?"
