“That’s right!”
Sure enough, everything was explained!
She said, how did the emperor know that Concubine De was cheating on him? It turned out that he knew through Yiyi’s thoughts!
That Xia Huai was a spy from the Northern Zhao Kingdom was discovered only after he brought Xiao Ruoyi to the morning court.
"Is that why the Emperor brought Yiyi to the morning court?"
"Well, my beloved concubine, you should also know that our Donglin Kingdom..." Emperor Donglin couldn't continue speaking, and said solemnly, "In order to save Donglin Kingdom, I can only do this!"
Concubine Liang also remembered that Xiao Ruoyi had said that the Donglin Kingdom would be destroyed, and the Donglin Emperor would be recorded as a murderous tyrant.
But she also understood that Emperor Donglin was not such a person, and everything was just a misunderstanding of the world.
Now, for the stability of the country, and to prevent the destruction of Donglin Kingdom, he protects and pampers Xiao Ruoyi so much.
"I know!"
...
...
Emperor Donglin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Concubine Liang understood his good intentions. Thinking of everything he had done to her, he felt even more guilty and self-blame.
"My beloved, do you hate your mother?"
Concubine Liang lowered her head and said, "I dare not!"
To say I don’t hate you is actually a lie!
However, that person is the mother of a country, she has no right to hate her, and cannot hate her.
Emperor Donglin patted Concubine Liang on the back of her hand and said, "I'm sorry for what happened back then. I didn't expect Concubine Hui to do something like that. I should have investigated more back then!"
Concubine Liang shook her head, her eyes filled with deep sorrow and guilt, "This is not the emperor's fault. If they wanted to frame me, I was in the emperor's favor at the time, so I definitely couldn't escape!"
"After all, it was me who harmed you!"
Concubine Liang was speechless for a long time. She thought that she was innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. After all, she was favored by Emperor Donglin at that time. Even if Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu had not schemed, there might have been other people who schemed against her.
Perhaps, she should thank Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have been locked up in the cold palace, and perhaps she might not even have given birth to her own daughter.
The harem had many methods to prevent her from giving birth to a daughter, even if it wasn't a boy.
Maybe only in the cold palace could Xiao Ruoyi be brought up in peace.
As long as Yi Yi can grow up happily, she is willing to suffer, but she lets Yi Yi grow up with her in the cold palace and let her suffer.
Concubine Liang didn't want to think about the things in the cold palace, so she changed the subject and asked Emperor Donglin, "What is the purpose of the emperor's visit to me?"
"Alas, I didn't want to trouble you, but I am really worried about the safety of my mother!"
At the end of the conversation, Emperor Donglin suddenly blushed, and lowered his head in guilt, not daring to look at Concubine Liang.
Concubine Hui was the empress dowager's favorite, but she suffered a miscarriage, which angered the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother wanted to kill Concubine Liang directly back then, and it was only at his insistence that she was sent to the cold palace.
Emperor Donglin was afraid that Concubine Liang would bear a grudge against her for what happened in the past, so he was unwilling to help.
After hearing this, Concubine Liang also knew what Emperor Donglin meant.
"Your Majesty wants me to find Yiyi and ask about the Queen Mother's whereabouts?"
Emperor Donglin nodded and explained a little embarrassedly, "Yiyi said that the Queen Mother is still alive, but she may not have a good life! For the sake of the Queen Mother's health, I still hope to rescue her as soon as possible!"
"I know, I will do my best!"
If the real Queen Mother could be invited back, it might not be a bad thing for her.
Yiyi said that Concubine Hui knew that the Queen Mother was fake, and when the fake Queen Mother's identity was exposed, the real Queen Mother would be welcomed back to the palace and would not let Concubine Hui go.
Even if she really harmed Concubine Hui back then, the Queen Mother would not hate her too much, not to mention, she did nothing!
The most important thing is that the real empress dowager was able to return to the palace thanks to Xiao Ruoyi.
As long as the Queen Mother is truly grateful, she will never target them again.
Therefore, in order to avoid being troubled by the fake Queen Mother and to have a better life in the future, it is imperative to rescue the Queen Mother.
Emperor Donglin held Concubine Liang's hands and consoled her with a smile, "My beloved, if our guess is correct, so is Mother. In the future, Mother will never embarrass you again and will support you!"
If the real Queen Mother could really hear Xiao Ruoyi's voice, then... for the future of Donglin Kingdom, the real Queen Mother would definitely not make things difficult for the mother and daughter.
The Empress Dowager Zhen had a very clear mind and knew how to make choices, otherwise she would not have fought to the end in the palace fight. She even helped Emperor Donglin stabilize the court after he ascended the throne.
If the Donglin Kingdom’s court was not stable and the country was not prosperous, the Queen Mother would not have gone out to worship Buddha.
Concubine Liang was also very clear about this.
In order to prevent himself and Yiyi from being troubled by the fake empress dowager in the future, it is imperative to welcome back the real empress dowager.
"Yes, I know! I will find out more!"
"Then I'll trouble you, my beloved concubine!"
"This is what I should do. I also want the Queen Mother to come back!"
"Okay!" Emperor Donglin nodded and asked Concubine Liang gently, "The fake Queen Mother has returned, but it also means that the Queen Mother agrees that I will issue an edict to confer the title of Duke of Yiyi! I will start making arrangements in the next two days. What do you think?"
With the fake empress dowager around, Emperor Donglin still felt that things were a bit troublesome.
However, now that the fake empress dowager is in a coma, Emperor Donglin feels that he can still take advantage of the opportunity.
Concubine Liang suddenly became excited. If Emperor Donglin could issue an edict to enthrone Yi Yi, then Yi Yi would be an official royal princess.
Moreover, as long as Yiyi has a title, she will be able to get some protection in the future.
“Really…really?”
"Of course it's true!" Emperor Donglin smiled and said confidently, "The fake queen mother is still the queen mother! I can take advantage of her coma and confer the title in her name. By then, the fake queen mother won't be able to object! Even if the real queen mother comes back, she won't be able to object!"
Concubine Liang immediately knelt on the ground to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Donglin helped Concubine Liang up with a distressed look on his face and sighed, "I owe you and your daughter this! I will send someone to do this right away!"
Emperor Donglin planned to hold a grand ceremony for Xiao Ruoyi's enthronement. He would also open a temple to worship the ancestors and make sure that everyone in Donglin Kingdom knew Xiao Ruoyi's identity.
After saying that, Emperor Donglin strode out and ordered Wang Dehai, "Wang Dehai, notify the Ministry of Rites to come see me!"
"yes!"
At this time, Xiao Ruoyi didn't know about the communication between Emperor Donglin and Concubine Liang in Yaohua Palace, and she didn't know that she would soon be given a title.
Now Xiao Ruoyi is excitedly following Prince Jin to the old Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is a little more lively today than usual.
Not only were everyone worried about the prime minister's health, but some of the prime minister's people were also worried about their future lives, or some coveted the position of prime minister and wanted to get it through the prime minister's recommendation, so they all came to "visit".
Therefore, Xiao Ruoyi felt that there would be a lot of melons, because there were so many ministers, and there were a lot of melons on them!
