"Empress Dowager, I agreed to marry Xinning to Beirong only as a temporary measure. I didn't expect the emperor to act so quickly and actually set the marriage." Yi Peng was anxious, "Empress Dowager, Xinning is our daughter. Can you really bear to see her marrying far away to Beirong?"
After hearing what 峔䲾鹏 said, even Su Chenyu and 倱li Yanqing were shocked. The Queen Mother and 峔䲾鹏 were actually having an affair?
Xinning's age is only slightly younger than Feng Zhaolin. By this calculation, it can be seen that Peng is still strong despite his old age. It is also incredible that the Queen Mother gave birth to a daughter at such an advanced age.
I don’t know if Feng Xuanqi knows that he has a half-sister?
"How could I not feel bad? But the emperor seems to have guessed Xinning's identity."
Yi Peng was so frightened by the Queen Mother's words that he was speechless, and even let go of the Queen Mother's hand involuntarily. After a long while, he asked tentatively: "How did the Emperor know?"
"Don't you know how powerful the emperor is?" The Queen Mother asked back, "After so many years, the emperor trusts you, it must be because of the relationship between you and me. Zuo Xinning is also a daughter, she can't threaten the emperor's position, so he just endured it.
But you and I are both old, how long can we help the emperor? The emperor is disgusted with us, so he will naturally use up the last bit of our value. "
The Queen Mother's words were like sharp arrows piercing into Yi Peng's heart, causing him to feel great pain.
He looked at the Queen Mother blankly: "Queen Mother, is the Emperor really so heartless? Xin Ning is his sister after all, how could he bear it?"
"The emperor doesn't care about anyone. He can watch his relatives and ministers have an affair and never ask about it. Don't you still dislike our emperor?"
In Feng Xuan's heart, there seemed to be no such thing as human ethics and morality. As long as this person or this thing was beneficial to him, he would maximize its value.
Seeing that Yi Peng's expression gradually became dull, the Queen Mother felt a little bit reluctant: "Since the Emperor has allowed Xin Ning to marry, he will not do anything to you again. You have kept the position of Xinyang Marquis. At least you will live a rich life, and I can rest assured."
"Queen Dowager!" As if he heard the determination in the Queen Dowager's tone, he opened his mouth and shouted.
"Marquis Xinyang, my health has always been poor, especially after I risked my life to give birth to Xinning. It is not easy for me to hold on now. I don't know when I will die." The Queen Mother reached out and gently patted the back of Peng's hand. "In the future, please don't come to see me again, so as not to cause any more trouble."
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Yi Peng suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the Queen Mother and recalled how she looked when he first saw her.
The thin and pretty woman stood beside Feng Xuanyi, looking somewhat at a loss. When she saw him, she softly called out "Mr. Xuanyi". Then, as if she remembered something, she added, "Mr. Xuanyi will have to worry about you more in the future."
She and Feng Xuanzhen didn't look like the emperor's concubines and sons, but rather like two ordinary girls.
Perhaps it was because of that sentence, "Xuanxian will cause Mr. Qi to worry more in the future," that Qi Peng followed Feng Xuanxian all his life.
Even though he knew that she was the emperor's concubine, Yi Peng was still uncontrollably moved. He swore that he would support Feng Xuanyi in her bid for succession and make her the most noble woman in the world.
As time passed, both she and I were already in our twilight years.
"Queen Dowager, I will not come here again." Yi Peng stood up and knelt in front of the Queen Dowager. "Live a thousand years, Queen Dowager."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and waved it, then turned her head to the side. When she put her hand down, tears began to flow down the corners of her eyes.
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself. I am leaving now." As Xiao Peng walked out, it seemed as if he had suddenly found an opportunity. He had been chasing for fame and fortune, but in the end, it was all like a dream. It was really all in vain...
