Chapter 664 Mr. Wu feels that I am too sentimental
Mo Jinchuan met the Queen's gaze and said in a cold voice, "I don't know. Please let Her Majesty know."
The Queen sighed softly, lowered her eyes and said, "I know that you brothers have never truly regarded me as your mother, and I have never forced you to do so.
But I am your Majesty's first wife after all. When I was crowned queen, I promised your Majesty that I would treat you like my own children.
Just ask yourself, in this world, how many mothers don’t love their children?
When the subject was moved, the Queen couldn't help but wipe her eyes with her hand, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure for a moment and made you laugh."
Mo Jinchuan said calmly, "Humans are not plants or trees. If you treat me with sincerity, you will surely receive my sincerity in return."
The Queen chuckled and murmured, "I hope so."
She wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes and continued, "I did not conceal the fact that Your Majesty was ill intentionally, but I had to do it.
At that time, the prince was seriously injured, and the imperial physician even asserted that the prince would never be able to stand up again. The emperor fainted in anger.
Under these circumstances, I cannot and dare not tell the truth to His Majesty."
The Queen raised four fingers and swore to the heavens, "If there is even a single word of falsehood in what I just said, I will die a miserable death, and Yingxue will marry the wrong person in the future..."
"That's enough." Mo Jinchuan interrupted her with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "This prince does not doubt the Queen, and the Queen does not need to say such cruel words."
The Queen's eyes were slightly red. "Then you just..."
Mo Jinchuan: "I just want to know why my father was seriously ill at that time."
The Queen said, "What Imperial Physician Xi meant was that Your Majesty was overly concerned about the Prince's health, and that the government was incredibly busy at that time, so his body couldn't handle the shock and anger, which is why he fainted."
She paused, then continued, "Although I'm not familiar with medicine, I know that anger alone wouldn't cause such a severe attack. That's why I suspect Your Majesty has been poisoned."
Mo Jinchuan nodded and said, "Father's illness is indeed strange."
Thinking about Emperor Xuande's health getting worse day by day, the queen could not help but feel sad, "Since that illness, your majesty's health has been getting worse. He often sits in the imperial study reviewing memorials and has to
Fall asleep for a while."
Facing Mo Jinchuan's puzzled gaze, she smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, I'm sure you know His Majesty's temper better than I do.
He doesn't want you to know, so naturally no one dares to tell you these words, not even me, dares to disobey His Majesty."
The Queen paused, then continued, "His Majesty also didn't want to worry the Prince. After waking up, he specifically instructed me to have the people below control their mouths and not gossip in front of you."
Mo Jinchuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your hard work these past few years, Madam."
Upon hearing this, the queen's eyes became red again.
She forced a smile and said, "This is what I am supposed to do. How can I say that Your Highness is working hard?"
Thinking of something, her face darkened slightly, and she asked softly, "Your Highness, there are no outsiders here now. Can you tell me the truth?"
Mo Jinchuan: "Your Majesty, please feel free to speak."
Queen: "How is your Majesty's health?"
Facing her worried eyes, Mo Jinchuan lowered his voice and said, "It's just a minor cold. You'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"Are you serious, Your Highness?" the Queen asked nervously.
Mo Jinchuan did not answer but asked: "Since your majesty does not believe me, why do you ask this question?"
The Queen was startled for a moment, then explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. It's not that I don't trust you."
She lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness in them, and said, "I'm just a little scared."
As for what she was afraid of, she didn't say, and Mo Jinchuan didn't ask further.
After calming down, the queen raised her eyes with a smile and said softly, "You didn't sleep all night last night, so I won't keep you here. Go find Yan Xi and that little girl."
Thinking of something, she smiled and said, "Your little girl is very sweet-mouthed. Bring her to the palace to accompany me more often when you have time."
Mo Jinchuan responded respectfully, and when he turned to leave, he noticed the Queen's hesitant expression.
But she didn't say anything in the end, just watched him leave.
When the people had gone far away, Xianglan came forward and said, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not an unreasonable person.
Even if you tell him the truth, I think he won't blame you wrongly."
The Queen shook her head, her eyes helpless as she said, "Since ancient times, everyone knows that being a stepmother is difficult. Even though I am the mistress of the harem, I don't have a prince by my side.
They respect me now, but it is only for Your Majesty's sake that they dare not be presumptuous.
If one day, His Majesty passes away due to illness, do you think they will still take me, the queen, seriously?"
Xianglan's face turned grim as she softly advised, "Your Majesty, please don't think like that. His Majesty is in his prime and in good health. He will be with you for at least a few more decades.
After such a long time, Your Majesty is still worried about not being able to give Your Majesty another prince?"
"A prince?" The queen laughed self-deprecatingly, "How can I give birth to a prince nowadays?"
Thinking she was worried that Emperor Xuande's age might affect his offspring, Xianglan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Concubine Li just gave birth to the ninth prince for Your Majesty a few years ago.
As long as the Empress takes good care of her health and asks the Imperial Hospital to find some concubines to take care of her, it won't be difficult to have another child."
She took two steps forward and lowered her voice, "I still have the booklet that the old lady sent to the palace in my room. I'll bring it to Your Majesty later."
The Queen refused coldly, "No need."
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Why, now my words are no longer effective?"
"Your servant dare not. Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger."
"I understand. You can leave now."
The queen slowly closed her eyes, listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, and a look of pain appeared on her delicately maintained face.
She moved her lips and two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
A prince? She would never have a prince of her own in this lifetime.
If Yingxue wasn't a princess, she would never have been able to see this world.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to give birth, but that His Majesty doesn’t want her to give birth.
The Queen smiled sadly and murmured, "Your Majesty, you really have a cruel heart."

"Cold?" Wen Qi couldn't help but sneer when he heard Wu Jun's words.
He asked coldly, "Mr. Wu, do you believe this?"
Wu Jun frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This matter came from Princess Shihan's mouth, so it shouldn't be false."
He reminded him, "Your Highness, please don't forget that the princess doesn't know Bai Qing's identity yet, so it's impossible for her to lie to him intentionally."
When mentioning this, the smile in Wen Qi's eyes was filled with helplessness, and he said leisurely: "This Shihan is really smart all her life but confused for a moment.
Bai Qing, Qing Bai, if she thinks about it carefully, she should know the clues."
Wu Jun smiled but said nothing.
But in my heart, I was thinking that maybe Princess Shihan was not acting foolishly for a moment, but simply did not take what happened in Qingbai Restaurant that day to heart.
If you don't care, you naturally won't remember it.
But Wen Qi was afraid that he couldn't bear to hear a single word of these words.
Seeing Wu Jun remained silent, Wen Qi's face darkened and he asked in a cold voice, "Mr. Wu, do you think I'm being sentimental?"
