"Don't kill him..."
"Just consider it as me begging you!"
The Empress Dowager, who had been tough for most of her life, was now panicking. Tears streamed down her face as she tugged at the Emperor's sleeve, begging, "Xiaoning and you have known each other since childhood. You are like brothers. He has helped you so much. How could you have the heart to hurt him?"
"I can't bear it either."
"But you are forcing me to do this."
"Mother, please tell the truth."
"If you don't tell the truth, it will be difficult for me to deal with it!"
Emperor Feng looked at the Queen Mother coldly.
At this moment, he was eating her to death.
The Queen Mother's behavior has confirmed his guess.
Now, he wanted to hear the Queen Mother tell the truth about what happened that year in person.
"Don't mention these things anymore."
"No, you have to say it!"
"Xiao Ning's life or death depends on your decision!"
"Mother, please don't let me down."
The Queen Mother slumped to the ground helplessly.
She just looked at the almighty Emperor Feng.
At this moment I just feel extremely ridiculous.
Emperor Feng is right.
The current Emperor Feng was created by her.
She ended up in this situation because of the stupid things she did in her early years.
"Yes... Xiao Ning is my own flesh and blood!!!"
After saying this, the Queen Mother seemed to have used up all her strength.
She looked at the numerous Buddha statues and trembled as she spoke, "I had just given birth to a child, but it turned out to be stillborn. I had finally climbed to the position of Imperial Concubine, so naturally I wanted to move up. Seeing that he had died, I had no choice but to ask Gu Shuang to replace the child. She told me at the time that she had chosen one from the Gu family, but I didn't investigate further. The death was true."
Everything in the past is still vivid in my mind.
She looked at the nearby Emperor Feng, raised her hand and stroked his cheek, whispering, "I have always regarded you as my own flesh and blood, so I have worked hard to cultivate you. I thought that by virtue of my son's status, I could also gain a foothold in the harem. After all, at that time, I thought that the child was dead..."
"Then what?"
"You saw Ning Que, didn't you?"
Emperor Feng just looked at the Queen Mother.
These all make sense.
He remembered that the Queen Mother really loved him in the beginning. Although she was strict with him, she was also very kind to him. When he was sick, the Queen Mother personally stayed by his bedside and fed him medicine. All of this happened after Ning Que entered the palace!
"Yes, that's it!"
The Queen Mother no longer concealed her feelings and smiled bitterly, saying, "At the time, I was just trying to win over Prince Ning's Mansion, so I sent Little Ning, your age, to the palace to study with me. One time, he was very naughty and accidentally fell into the lake. After rescuing him, I saw the birthmark on the bottom of his foot. I personally asked the old princess, and she said it was a congenital birthmark, present since birth!"
"When I found out, I was naturally furious and immediately summoned Gu Shuang. Under my threat, she finally told me the truth. At that time, the Gu family only had a baby girl, and there was no suitable fetus. It just so happened that the old princess was having a difficult labor, and it was her master who was in charge of delivering her. After her manipulation, she took advantage of the busy schedule of the palace to swap you..."
"After all, the old princess already had three sons, so even if one died, it wouldn't be a big deal. But Gu Shuang never expected that the fetus, which had already died, would actually breathe and even be saved by Chang Baicao. Because she was afraid that this matter would be exposed, she didn't tell the truth."
"Heh...as expected..."
Emperor Feng turned around abruptly.
Rejected the Queen Mother's kindness.
He just looked at the Queen Mother coldly.
He knew that his feeling was not wrong!
"So, you prefer Yu Xiaoning?"
"Your Majesty, I am a mother after all... Xiao Ning is my own flesh and blood. Right in front of me, what do you want me to do?!"
The Queen Mother was now sobbing uncontrollably.
After knowing the truth, she was happy and regretful!
Looking at the clever and well-behaved Ning Que, she was deeply attracted to him. Under the guidance of Prince Ning's mansion, Ning Que maintained a pure and innocent heart. He was exceptionally capable, but not one to pursue fame or fortune.
She only hated herself for giving up Ning Que at that time.
In the end, they even resorted to some means to replace the fetus!
"Then you'll hurt me?"
"I never intended to hurt you..."
"But you're already hurt."
Emperor Feng spoke coldly.
At this moment he was completely disappointed.
The only remaining mother-son relationship also disappeared.
"And then?"
"After what Gu Shuang did, I couldn't trust her anymore. I knew she had something against me, so I had to use her to kill the former queen. In the end, I banished her from the palace and exiled her to Xiliang. I originally wanted her to fake her death to get away, but I didn't expect that this would somehow get to old Prince Ning. You know everything that happened next."
Emperor Feng's eyes were red and he grinned.
"Yes, I know everything."
"I killed my own father with my own hands!"
"And three brothers and mother!"
"And all this is just because of your selfishness!"
Drops of blood and tears fell.
Emperor Feng clenched his fists tightly.
The nails were almost embedded in the palms.
At this moment, he just felt pathetic.
The truth he was looking for was so cruel!
He went to great lengths to kill the old King Ning!
However, the old Prince Ning is his real father!
"emperor……"
The Queen Mother tried to grab Emperor Feng's sleeve, but was decisively shaken off.
"Emperor, please consider this as a request from me."
"Even though Xiao Ning is my own flesh and blood, I have never thought of letting him replace you. This matter has passed, just pretend it never happened. He is still the Prince of Ning of Dafeng, and you are still the emperor. If you two brothers work together, you will surely achieve hegemony. You must not kill him, just let him live like this..."
"Oh……"
Emperor Feng smiled bitterly.
He just felt pathetic.
"Mother, do you think it's still possible?"
"Xiao Ning has never been a fool."
"He has been investigating Calabash Valley for years."
"What would happen if he knew the truth?"
"And what will those old Ning Wang's generals do?"
"Sitting in this position, there are many things you can't control. It doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Even if you don't do it, there will still be people pushing you to do it!"
"You...what are you going to do?" The Queen Mother raised her head tremblingly, looked at Emperor Feng and said angrily: "You promised me that you would not kill Xiao Ning!"
"Yes, I agree." Emperor Feng slowly closed his eyes and said softly, "But my mother taught me that when dealing with the enemy, we must never give them any chances. I know Xiao Ning's character, but he will not give up this blood feud. I will not kill Xiao Ning myself, but he will have to stay in Goguryeo forever!"
"No, you can't!"
"If you kill him, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
"hehe……"
Emperor Feng seemed to have made a decision.
He completely ignored the Queen Mother's angry roar.
He waved his sleeves indifferently and turned around gracefully.
He once wanted to be a good person.
It was the Queen Mother who forced him to become what he is now!
