Chapter 281 Fusu's Birth Mother
"Who bumped into you and got caught by you again?" Mrs. Mi joked, took the hat that Zhao Yuanxi took off and put it aside, looking at her with a smile.
Zhao Yuanxi laughed and said, "Don't make me sound like a robber who won't let go! You don't know this man, but he's a very eloquent person. If you want to meet him, he's living in the other courtyard now. I'll take you there next time."
She glanced at the courtyard, wondering, "Are Fusu and Ziying not here?"
Logically, they should have finished their get out of class by this time. Even if Fusu had to stay with Ying Zheng, Ziying should have come back!
"I went to the school to look for them, and they said they were called over by Fusu's mother."
It was naturally not appropriate for her, a foreign minister's family member, to set foot in the Qin King's harem, not to mention that it was Fusu's mother who called him, and it was not surprising for a mother to want to see her son!
Zhao Yuanxi frowned slightly. She blocked Changping Jun's side and forgot about what was happening with Madam Mi!
Although he didn't know why Madam Mi was looking for Fusu, Zhao Yuanxi was still a little worried. "You, go and find out about Fusu and Ziying's situation. If there's anything wrong, bring them back."
After class, Fusu and Ziying planned to return to Ganquan Palace, but as soon as they went out, they were stopped by Lady Mi's men.
"Master Fusu, Madam asks you to come over."
"Is there anything wrong, mother?" Fusu wondered. His mother rarely came to care about him on weekdays, and only greeted him during the holidays.
She seemed to care about nothing on a daily basis, including her son.
"Madam didn't say anything, she just asked me to invite you over."
"I'm going too." Ziying took Fusu's hand and said, "Sister Palace Maid, can I go with my brother?"
"This, Madam didn't say no!"
Fusu thought Ziying just wanted to see his mother, so he did not stop him.
In Qionghua Palace, Madam Mi stared at the two children standing in the center of the hall with a serious expression, "Fusu, come here!"
"Mother."
"Your uncle arranged for Mi Yan to be your study partner. Why didn't you agree?"
"Father has already arranged for the son of Li Tingwei, and I dare not refuse."
Madam Mi scolded, "Are you afraid to refuse, or have you forgotten that you are still a Chu person?"
"Mother!" Fusu was a little frightened and called out softly.
"Your father ordered Wang Jian to send a large army to guard the northern border of Chu. Did you know?"
Fusu often accompanied Ying Zheng, so he naturally knew the war situation in Qin. After General Wang Jian took over most of Yan State, he led his army south to contain Chu State. On the other side, General Wang Ben was preparing to encircle and suppress Wei State.
"Wei is already in the hands of Qin. Qin will conquer Wei sooner or later. We are guarding the border of Chu only to prevent Chu from coming back to support us."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face.
The fair and tender little face swelled up instantly, and the burning pain made Fusu's eyes red.
Madam Mi regretted it immediately after beating him. Her hands trembled slightly. She no longer looked at him and said in a cold voice, "It is indeed a good son I gave birth to!"
"Why did you hit my elder brother?" Ziying rushed forward, pulled the two apart, and yelled angrily at Madam Mi.
"I'm teaching my son a lesson. Who the hell do you think you are to control me?"
"Big brother is not only your son, but also the prince of Qin, the son of the King of Qin. If you dare to hit him, I will tell my uncle, the King of Qin!"
"Ha!" Madam Mi sneered, "You dare to threaten me with the King of Qin? Come, throw him out!"
The palace maids rushed forward and grabbed Ziying. Ziying used his hands, feet, and even his teeth, but the palace maids pinched his face, grabbed his waist, tied his hands, and pressed him to the ground.
Ziying's sharp cry echoed in the palace, and Fusu's heart was inconsolable.
He quickly begged for mercy from Madam Mi, "Mother, Ziying is just worried about me. Please let them go! They will hurt Ziying. If you want to punish me, just punish me. It has nothing to do with Ziying!"
He wanted to go forward and rescue Ziying, but was pulled back by Lady Mi.
She grabbed Fusu's arm, ignoring his tears, and shouted, "You are the prince of Qin. Who is he? You can only walk for a short time, and the king has kept you by his side. He loves you so much! You are obviously the future crown prince of Qin. Why are you so disappointing that you don't even want the position of crown prince. You play around with this little bastard every day!"
"Ziying is not a jerk. Besides, the position of Crown Prince will be decided by my father. Mother shouldn't interfere in this matter!"
Lady Mi was so angry that she grabbed Fusu's arm tightly, her eyes full of resentment. "I shouldn't have interfered. Anyway, whether you are the crown prince or not, you are still a prince of Qin."
"You are all Qin people, so naturally you will side with him. But now he wants to destroy my Chu State. Am I supposed to sit back and watch? He doesn't see me now, but you see him every day. Why don't you say a few words for my Chu State?" Madam Mi burst into tears.
Fusu was stunned. He wanted to explain that he couldn't stop his father, but when he heard his mother crying, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Let him go!"
The scolding sound coming from outside the door made all the palace servants in the hall look over.
Zhao Yuanxi walked in and saw Ziying pinned to the ground and Fusu with a swollen face. He immediately became furious.
"I said, let go!"
The palace maids were so frightened that they quickly let go of their hands and knelt down.
Ziying sobbed as he got up from the ground, ran to Zhao Yuanxi, grabbed her clothes, pointed at Madam Mi, and complained, "Mother, she hit my brother!"
Zhao Yuanxi touched his red cheek distressedly and soothed him, "It's okay! It's okay!"
When she looked up at Madam Mi, her eyes were exceptionally cold. "Madam Mi, I remember that you are Fusu's mother, so I never stopped you and your son from meeting. But what are you doing today?"
Madam Mi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm teaching my own son a lesson, does the Queen Mother have to intervene?"
"Is it a lesson or a vent of anger?"
Lady Mi didn't want to admit that she was taking her anger out on Fusu. She straightened her back and said, "I was just trying to reason with him. He's my son. Why would I take my anger out on him?"
There is nothing wrong with her wanting Fusu to compete for the position of crown prince. Although it is beneficial to the State of Chu, it is also for Fusu's future!
As long as he could become the King of Qin in the end, the whole world would be his. Why would he be unhappy?
If he doesn't fight, someone else will. By then, what will a mere prince of Qin mean? He will still be at the mercy of others.
When Zhao Yuanxi saw her like this, he knew that she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong!
"Fusu, come here!" She waved to Fusu.
Fusu subconsciously walked towards her, but the tingling in his arm made him turn back and murmur, "Mother."
"If you leave today, you will no longer be my son."
