He choked and his face turned red. A hand reached out and handed him a cup of tea.
He took the cup and took a gulp of water.
After swallowing the food he had choked on, he felt like he was coming back to life.
"Drink slowly." A big hand patted his back gently, and his body froze instantly.
Father discovered him? This was his first thought.
Wasn't he in disguise? How did he recognize him?
He stiffened and slowly turned his head.
A bright yellow dragon robe came into view, and Emperor Mingde looked at him with a smile on his face.
When he saw his father, he was reminded of his mother's death.
In an instant, Jiang Yunjing's face changed and he exuded coldness all over his body.
His mother died in front of him, and he was powerless to do anything.
The person who framed her was his father, and he watched it all with indifference.
My mother told him to leave immediately last night.
Is he coming here now to capture him and hand him over to the Beiming Kingdom?
In an instant, Jiang Yunjing's thoughts surged.
Emperor Mingde had been observing him and seeing that he looked unwell, he thought he was sick.
"Jing'er, are you sick? It's all father's fault. Father shouldn't have listened to Concubine Mei's words and let you suffer."
Emperor Mingde looked ashamed and his voice sounded a little helpless.
Jiang Yunjing did not appreciate his self-blame and regret.
My mother is dead, who can save all this?
"You killed my mother, and now you're pretending to be regretful. Who are you trying to show off to?" Jiang Yunjing's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.
Faced with Jiang Yunjing's questioning, he felt guilty, so he chose to remain silent.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
After hesitating for a moment, the imperial teacher decided to break the deadlock.
"Your Majesty, is there something important that you are here for today?"
Emperor Mingde remembered the purpose of this visit, and looked at Jiang Yunjing intentionally or unintentionally, with a serious face: "Mei Fei made a mistake and has been executed by me."
These words aroused the interest of the national teacher, and even Jiang Yunjing looked over.
"She attempted to murder me, but I, for the sake of our marriage, will execute her directly."
"Also, Li'er's problem was caused by her alone."
As for being cuckolded and raising someone else's child, Emperor Mingde always valued his face, so how could he say it out loud.
The Imperial Master nodded in understanding.
"Then why didn't you listen to your mother's explanation at the beginning?" Jiang Yunjing became angry when he heard Emperor Mingde talking about Concubine Li.
He knew that it was all Concubine Mei's fault.
"I have already sent someone to pick up the people from the Meng Mansion."
He knew that Jiang Yunjing would definitely not abandon Concubine Li's family, so he deliberately said this.
Sure enough, when Jiang Yunjing heard this, even if he didn't want to pay attention to him, he couldn't turn a cold face.
[How come I heard that Concubine Mei was with a man and was discovered by him]
[Isn’t the scene of catching an adulterer very exciting?]
[Of course, Concubine Mei was vicious to begin with. She framed Concubine Li and drugged Emperor Mingde. She deserved to be put to death.]
When Mu Nanyan heard Emperor Mingde talking about Concubine Mei, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
Although the news was blocked by Emperor Mingde, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and someone still managed to leak it.
Gossip, of course, spreads fast.
Mu Nanyan looked at Emperor Mingde with a smile.
Emperor Mingde felt a strange gaze staring at him. He followed the line of sight and saw that it was a baby.
During these days that Mu Nanyan was in the palace, she did not attract the attention of Emperor Mingde.
"This is..." Emperor Mingde said meaningfully.
Jiang Yunjing thought he was going to harm Mu Nanyan, so he quickly pulled her behind him and said, "This is my friend."
[Yes, I am just his friend, supporting him]
Friends? When did Jing'er make friends, especially those who were much younger than him?
Is there something special about her? It seems I have to send someone to investigate.
If she dared to hurt Jing'er, he would never let her go.
Emperor Mingde was filled with rage, but he remained calm on the surface. "Well, since he is Jing'er's friend, we must treat him well."
"Hmph." No matter how friendly the other party was, Jiang Yunjing remained unmoved.
What is he doing? Is he trying to threaten him with Yan'er?
I have done so many wrong things before. I will not be fooled by anyone who thinks that those evidences can be erased with a few words of apology.
Emperor Mingde, with a cold face, pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly.
He knew that he had hurt him deeply before.
He must hate his father, the emperor.
He wanted to make it up to him no matter what.
At lunch time, Emperor Mingde, who was usually busy, specially accompanied Jiang Yunjing for lunch.
The table was filled with his favorite dishes, but Jiang Yunjing only ate the food in front of him, which made Emperor Mingde frown.
He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Jiang Yunjing's bowl. "Jing'er, this is your favorite."
Looking at the sweet and sour spare ribs in the bowl, Jiang Yunjing felt dazed.
Once upon a time, he, his mother, and his father's family lived happily together, but later on, things became like that.
He picked up the ribs. Hmm, the taste was still the same, but the person was gone.
His heart ached, and he swallowed the meat while enduring the pain.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from outside the door.
He ran quickly to Jiang Yunjing, took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed him.
“Go to hell.”
"Be careful." someone yelled.
Emperor Mingde saw this and pushed him aside.
But he was stabbed by the dagger. He grabbed the man's hand, his eyes wide open with anger. "Xuan'er, you actually..."
The person who came was Jiang Yunxuan, who was under house arrest by Emperor Mingde and heard the palace maids secretly talking about Concubine Mei.
It also said that Emperor Mingde went to visit Jiang Yunjing.
Although he is young, he is not ignorant.
He felt that it must be Jiang Yunjing who had taken away his father's favor.
He sneaked out while the palace maid was not paying attention.
When he arrived at the side hall, he hid in the corner and observed secretly.
Seeing that Emperor Mingde cared about Jiang Yunjing, he rushed out directly.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? I will go and get the imperial physician right away." The eunuch beside him asked worriedly.
The scene just now almost scared him to death.
"I'm fine." His hand was only slightly scratched, nothing serious.
"Let me go, father. It's all his fault that my mother died." Jiang Yunxuan glared at Jiang Yunjing with red eyes.
Emperor Mingde grabbed his neck and said coldly: "You evil creature, this is Concubine Mei's stupidity, it has nothing to do with Jing'er."
Seeing that Jiang Yunxuan was having trouble breathing, the Imperial Master spoke up to stop him, "Your Majesty, if you pinch him again, he will die."
Emperor Mingde let go of his hand and let him fall to the ground. "Someone, take him away."
We can't let him ruin Jing'er's appetite.
After a while, the guards took the man away.
Jiang Yunjing saw all of this, but remained unmoved.
At the beginning, he treated him and his mother in the same way, but the difference from the past was that this matter fell on Jiang Yunxuan's head.
The eunuch brought medicine and bandages and bandaged the wound simply.
The meal ended in a farce.
