"If she is not father's daughter, then whose is she?" The second prince rolled his eyes secretly in his heart.
If not, how could he hear his sister's voice while others couldn't?
Therefore, Xiao Ruoyi must be his half-sister!
"you……"
She used to think her son was quite smart, but now he is always holding her back, which makes the queen furious!
The Queen's angry look frightened the Prince so much that he took a step back and hurriedly explained himself, "Mother, listen to me. Actually, I did this because I had carefully considered the best outcome!"
But the queen did not believe her son's words. She sneered and said sarcastically, "Oh, then tell me!"
What that means is, you can say it, but if you can't convince me, the consequences will be terrible!
The second prince swallowed his saliva, "Mother, you have also seen how father protects sister Yiyi! Even if I am not here, there is still my eldest brother! He also spoke for my sister! Even if I am not here, father will have the same attitude and approach! And if I still speak for sister Yiyi, father will remember my kindness and think that I am steady and a good brother who cares for his sister. Isn't this better than not helping?"
Sure enough, as the second prince spoke further, the anger on the queen's face slowly dissipated.
...
...
Finally, the queen slowly sat down on her phoenix chair, tapping lightly on the armrests with her slender and beautiful fingers.
When the Second Prince saw his mother's expression, he knew that she must have listened to his explanation, and he couldn't help but secretly wipe away a cold sweat.
Seeing that the queen was moved, the second prince took advantage of the situation and said, "Mother... Father's attitude is very simple, that is, no one's status can compare to that of the emperor's sister Yiyi! We are now getting closer to Concubine Liang and her daughter. For us, it is a hundred benefits and no harm! Otherwise, the imperial concubine and the eldest prince will get ahead of us!"
The queen frowned. Just as the second prince said, the eldest prince's attitude was very clear, and he had already become closer to Xiao Ruoyi.
In the end, the queen was convinced by the second prince's explanation and clenched her fists and had to let go, "Forget it!"
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief and secretly congratulated himself on his timely reaction!
"Mother... Mother, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, the second prince turned around and ran away without waiting for the queen to stop him, as if there was a vicious tiger behind him to eat him.
When the queen came to her senses, the second prince had already run away. The queen was so angry that she pounded the table again, "Damn that brat! He ran fast!"
At the same time, the fake empress dowager returned to the Cining Palace and saw Madam Liu being supported by the palace maids.
When Matron Liu saw the fake empress dowager and Concubine Hui, her eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
At this time, Aunt Liu's whole face was swollen from being beaten, but because she was wearing a mask, there were not many redness and swelling marks. However, her lips and corners of her mouth were covered in blood, which was shocking to see.
"Madame Liu!"
Seeing the appearance of Matron Liu, the fake empress dowager and Concubine Hui couldn't help but exclaim.
Concubine Hui stepped forward to support Madam Liu and raised her hand to order, "All of you go down!"
"yes!"
All the maids and eunuchs in the palace left.
“Wuwuwu…”
Nanny Liu wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a single clear word, and in the end could only murmur vague sounds.
The people arranged by Emperor Donglin showed no mercy and beat Madam Liu until the corners of her mouth were covered with blood. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak.
If it weren't for the fact that Madam Liu had a layer of mask on her face, her face would have been red and swollen to the point of being unsightly.
Concubine Hui patted Madam Liu's shoulder and soothed her, "Madam Liu, you don't have to speak. I know what you are going to say!"
Aunt Liu touched her swollen cheeks with both hands, but she felt a piercing pain as soon as she touched it lightly, and she couldn't help but let out a scream of pain.
Because of the pain, his whole face seemed to be distorted, tears flowed out violently, and he looked as pitiful as possible.
"Don't move. It's not appropriate for you to take off the mask now! If you take it off, you won't be able to get out!"
Nanny Liu's hands were shaking and she could only touch her face in the air.
In fact, even if Concubine Hui didn't say anything, she didn't have the courage to tear it open. It hurt just by touching her cheek, let alone tearing it off.
The fake queen mother looked at him with a bit of pity, "Yes! We didn't expect what happened today. We are sorry for getting you into trouble. Go back and have a good rest. Don't come out these few days!"
"We will remember this matter first, and we will seek revenge on Concubine Liang and her daughter in the future! Don't worry, we will let you take revenge in person when the time comes!"
After hearing this, Matron Liu nodded quickly with excitement mixed with strong resentment.
If it weren't for Concubine Liang and her daughter, how could she have suffered so much and lost so much face?
There is a long time to come and there are plenty of opportunities. She will never let them, mother and daughter, go!
The fake empress dowager called the palace maid and took Madam Liu away.
After everyone was dismissed, only the fake empress dowager and Concubine Hui were left in the hall. The fake empress dowager angrily swept everything on the table to the ground.
"Damn you little bitch!"
Concubine Hui closed the palace door, walked to the side of the fake empress dowager, glanced at the things on the ground, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she was also full of resentment.
"I never thought that Concubine Liang and her daughter would be so capable! If I had known, I would not have listened to that old woman and left the palace! I should have killed that bitch in the cold palace long ago!"
At this moment, Concubine Hui blamed the Empress Dowager Zhen for her failure to win over Emperor Donglin's heart.
For Concubine Hui, the real Queen Mother has no merits but only faults, so everything should revolve around her!
"Why would that old woman side with you? If she did, she would have deposed the queen long ago and made you the queen!"
Although the real Queen Mother was very good to Concubine Hui, she was a very competent Queen Mother and would not act according to her own preferences.
The Queen has not committed any major faults, and she is also very capable in commanding the harem. The Queen Mother will not replace her at will!
Besides, Concubine Hui has no children to show off, so the Empress Dowager will not help her.
But Concubine Hui didn't know all this, and she thought that the Queen Mother really liked her, but was just talking.
Concubine Hui had a sinister and resolute look on her face. "The position of Queen can only be mine! This time when I come back, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
The real queen mother would not be wholeheartedly on her side, but now she is the fake queen mother, so she must be wholeheartedly on her side.
Although she had lost the previous two battles, and lost completely, Concubine Hui refused to admit defeat.
Now is just the beginning. Concubine Hui feels that she just hasn't understood the specific situation yet. Once she finds out Emperor Donglin's recent thoughts, she will be able to firmly grasp Emperor Donglin.
