Chapter 647 I Want to See General Lin’s True Heart
Qingque paused as he adjusted his collar and said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. The two young masters stayed at the Princess's Mansion last night."
Hearing this, Princess Huayang's face darkened even further. She snorted coldly and said, "Before she even married into the family, she's already coaxing the two children into running around. This girl from the Song family is quite resourceful."
Qingque seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back when it reached his lips.
Princess Huayang saw at once that she was hiding something and asked coldly, "Now, even you are hiding it from me?"
Qingque hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please calm down. This servant would never dare to hide anything from you."
She considered it carefully and said, "I heard that the two young masters were personally sent to the Princess's Mansion by His Royal Highness Prince Jin before he was summoned to the palace."
"Crash!" Princess Huayang swung her hand hard, and the bottles and jars on the dressing table instantly fell to the ground.
Staring at her hideous reflection in the bronze mirror, she said with a gloomy look, "It's a pity that I have placed high hopes on him for so many years, thinking that he would not be like his emotional father.
I didn't expect that they were all useless and worthless! "
Princess Huayang closed her eyes, her voice filled with fatigue, "I never thought that among my brother's sons, the one most suitable to be emperor was Yang'er."
Qingque also sighed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed diligent. He has devoted his heart to state affairs and has nothing else in his heart except the people.
If it weren't for Concubine Shu's momentary confusion and blunder, he could have become a wise ruler."
Hearing these disgusting words, Princess Huayang's eyes were filled with disgust. "Why are you mentioning that unlucky person?"
She lowered her eyes and said in a cold tone, "What good can the seed that crawled out of her belly be?
It's just that he's still young and pretends to be good in front of others."
Qingque replied respectfully, "Yes," but didn't dare to speak again.
Whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good or bad, it doesn’t matter anymore.
This person has passed away, I only hope that he will not be reborn into an imperial family in the next life.
Even if life will be poorer, at least we can have a good beginning and a good end, instead of just leaving a short sentence in history books: "Excessive wisdom will lead to harm."
He was a good kid and shouldn't have died young.
Qingque was feeling sad when she suddenly heard Princess Huayang ask, "Qingque, am I too cruel to these brothers?"
As she spoke, she sighed softly and said, "After all, they are my brother's bloodline, and they have called me aunt since they were young.
I took my anger out on them because I disliked their biological mother, which was really wrong."
The more Qingque listened, the more frightened she became. She quickly took two steps back and knelt, saying respectfully, "The guilty concubine relied on your majesty's favor and dared to practice witchcraft and curse your majesty in the palace. She truly deserves death.
As the crown prince of Da'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only did not cut ties with her immediately, but instead went before His Majesty several times, trying to overturn the verdict on his biological mother.
Such a foolish person, even if he hadn't been assassinated, would definitely not be a wise ruler."
Princess Huayang sighed softly, "What a pity."
She seemed to have just noticed Qingque kneeling, and chuckled, "Hurry up and get up. I've told you so many times not to kneel down all the time. You have an old injury on your waist again."
Thinking of something, her eyes turned slightly cold, "The girl from the Song family is a disciple of Yaowang Valley. Let her take a look at you someday."
Qingque hurriedly said, "Princess Shihan is of noble status and will soon become Princess Jin. How could this servant of mine possibly trouble her for help?"
Fearing that she might displease Princess Huayang, she added, "My waist has been injured for so many years. If the root cause could be cured, the doctors Your Highness has spent so much money to hire would have cured it long ago.
Your Highness loves me dearly and has never asked me to do anything over the years. In fact, I have almost grown old with you."
Princess Huayang wore a faint smile, and only stopped smiling after Qingque finished speaking, then said, "She is not Princess Jin yet."
She bent down to pick up the Buddhist beads at her feet and said in a cold voice, "Even if she marries into Prince Jin's Mansion, I will still be Mo Jinchuan's aunt.
Unless, he also wants to imitate his father and make mistakes, choosing beauty over power."
Princess Huayang fiddled with her beads, smiling sarcastically, "Why are there so many idiots in the Mohist school? Do they think they are the heroes in the storybooks who are so angry that their hair stands on end for the beauty they love?
In the face of absolute power, so-called emotions are a joke."
Qingque said, "Your Highness is right. His Highness Prince Jin is just acting on impulse now. Sooner or later he will understand your painstaking efforts."
Hearing this, Princess Huayang's eyes turned even colder. "I don't have that much time to wait for this wolf cub to have a change of heart."
Qingque's expression changed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"Send a letter south, saying that I want to see General Lin's sincerity."
"Yes, Your Highness."

"Empress, His Majesty has gone to bed. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" De Hai had a smile on his face and was extremely polite.
From a selfish point of view, he respected the queen very much.
In the more than ten years since she entered the palace, she not only managed every corner of the inner palace in an orderly manner, but also had very good relationships with the concubines.
Even Concubine Yu, who had always been arrogant because of the favor of the Southwest Cheng family and His Majesty, always kept her composure in front of her.
As for Princess Roujia, whom she gave birth to, there is no need to say more.
She has been eloquent since she was a child, and looks like a white-faced doll. Even eunuchs like them, who have no roots, like her when they see her.
Based on his understanding of His Majesty, as long as the Queen does not have any inappropriate thoughts in the future, no one can shake her position as the Empress.
Even if a prince succeeds to the throne in the future, he will certainly treat her, his biological mother, with great courtesy and honor her as the Empress Dowager.
The Queen smiled faintly and said, "Eunuch De has misunderstood. I am not here to look for Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Dehai's smile faded a bit. "Princess Yong'an and His Royal Highness Prince Jin are attending to the patient inside. I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to see them today."
The Queen's smile remained undimmed. She half-stepped aside to reveal the food box behind her and said, "I heard that Prince Jin and the Princess had entered the palace overnight, and I thought they would be hungry by now, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some food."
Seeing Dehai's embarrassment, she smiled and said, "I've been having trouble sleeping lately, all thanks to Princess Yong'an's sachet.
If you find it inconvenient, I will go back first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Jinchuan, dressed in a green robe, came out from the palace gate.
His handsome face showed signs of fatigue, and a layer of dark stubble appeared on his chin, clearly indicating that he had not slept all night.
The Queen took two steps forward and asked with concern, "Jinchuan, how is His Majesty's condition? Is it serious?"
Mo Jinchuan said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Father just caught a cold. He just needs to drink a few doses of medicine to induce sweating."
Hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and murmured, "Fortunately, Your Majesty is fine."
She turned around, took the food box from the palace maid, handed it to Mo Jinchuan, and said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare some food. You and the princess have been guarding His Majesty all night, so you need to fill your stomach first.
Your Majesty's health is paramount, but you must not be careless. Don't let him wake up and worry about you."
Mo Jinchuan took the food box and thanked him.
The Queen sighed softly and said with a helpless smile, "Child, there's no need for you to be so polite to me.
If His Majesty wakes up later, please send someone to Fengyi Palace to tell her so that your sister won't be worried about him."
As she was speaking, she caught a glimpse of a purple figure not far away. She smiled slightly and said, "I still have some trivial matters to attend to. I'll trouble you to take care of His Majesty."
As soon as the words fell, a cold female voice rang out, "Why is the Queen so anxious to leave right after I arrived? Is it because she doesn't want to see my face?"
