"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I was kind to that child out of my guilt towards Concubine Jia!
It’s all my fault for listening to the Queen’s slander back then. I was really afraid that the Emperor’s favor for her would affect the court and the country!
Not only did he not stop the Queen from killing Concubine Jia, but he also allowed her to rape Shaoqing's child!
But if I intervene, given the Emperor's fondness for Concubine Jia back then, the position of Crown Prince today would surely lead to a bloody fight between the brothers!"
Empress Dowager Shao had just finished speaking with regret when Qin Shaoqing was already standing outside the door, unable to control his emotions!
At this moment, his eyes were full of conflict, and his hands clenched tightly at his sides expressed his inner struggle and anger!
After Ye Qiansui heard about this, he didn't know how to comfort him!
At this moment, a palace maid carrying tea came up from behind them!
"Ninth Prince, may the Princess be safe and sound!"
The palace maid's rash greeting broke Qin Shaoqing's thoughts and also startled Empress Dowager Shao who was talking in the room!
Without waiting for the people in the room to come out, Qin Shaoqing took Ye Qiansui's hand and left!
Even though I heard the door behind me open, I also felt the gaze of the person standing in the room!
Qin Shaoqing left Shoukang Palace without looking back!
"How long has the Ninth Prince been standing here? How do you do things? The Prince is coming? Why didn't anyone announce it?"
The series of angry questions from the nanny beside Empress Dowager Shao frightened the palace maid so much that she fell to her knees!
"I don't know. I wasn't here before! I also just saw the prince standing here!"
The little palace maid was so frightened that she trembled with fear and stammered as she looked at Queen Mother Shao!
At this moment, Queen Mother Shao walked out of the house and stood at the door, looking at Qin Shaoqing's disappearing back, her eyes full of despair!
“Whatever, it’s fate. It’s good for the child to know the truth!
You won't have to live in confusion for the rest of your life! Whether he hates me or blames me, it's not up to you and me to control!
After saying this, Queen Mother Shao, who always had a strong figure, turned around and went back to the house, her back became a little hunched!
Ye Qiansui looked at the person holding his hand and gradually slowed down his pace!
Until he stopped, Ye Qiansui looked at his back and was about to comfort him!
He turned around, pulled her hand up a little, and examined it with guilt in his eyes!
"Are you okay? I didn't hurt you just now! It's all my fault for not taking good care of you!"
After saying that, he looked at Ye Qiansui with an apologetic look!
"It's okay. Do you still want to go to Concubine Tong's place? The air here is not good. If you don't want to go, let's leave!"
Ye Qiansui also felt a little depressed by the things happening in the palace!
"Go! I can't abandon the only person in this palace who cares about me just because of my grandmother!"
Qin Shaoqing calmed himself down, gently took Ye Qiansui's hand and placed it by his side, and walked slowly!
Inside Yongde Hall!
Concubine Tong was busy preparing various medicines and clothes for Qin Shaoqing!
This time, Qin Shaoqing asked someone to inform him before coming in, whether it was because of the truth his grandmother had told him before, or the rules of this palace!
Qin Shaoqing couldn't just barge in rashly like he did before!
When Concubine Tong heard the palace maid say that Qin Shaoqing had arrived, she hurried out of the house and couldn't wait to deliver the message!
"My dear, you've suffered so much! It's all because Empress Tong didn't have the ability to keep you in this capital!
That’s why you suffered such injustice!”
Before Concubine Tong even reached Qin Shaoqing, tears started flowing out like crazy!
He walked and sobbed, blaming himself!
Seeing her expression, even Qin Shaoqing, who had just experienced betrayal, was deeply moved by her!
"Madam Tong, I'm fine, don't worry too much! Besides, I haven't left yet, have I?"
Qin Shaoqing looked at Concubine Tong who was crying like a child and said helplessly!
"You're such a fool! You're still trying to persuade me now! All we've done in return for your continued tolerance is for them to become even more aggressive!
Your health is not good, and I have no intention of letting Yan Che compete with them!
That's why we are in such a passive position now. If we had known earlier, we should have let Yan Che fight them!"
Concubine Tong became more and more excited as she spoke, and in the end she almost roared!
"Mrs. Tong, please keep your voice down. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall!"
Ye Qiansui reminded with some concern!
"Don't worry! It's still safe in Yongde Palace! You'll have to suffer with Qing'er this time as we head north!"
Tong Fei said this while holding Ye Qiansui and speaking with apology!
"It's okay. Although the place we're going to is barren, it's far away from the treacherous capital!
This is what I have always wished for. As for Qiansui, she is by my side. I will do my best to take good care of her in the future!"
Qin Shaoqing looked at Ye Qiansui and assured him!
The two of them chatted with Concubine Tong for a while before leaving. When they arrived at the palace gate, they met the nanny sent by Empress Dowager Shao, who took them back to Shoukang Palace!
Rejected by Qin Shaoqing!
After returning to Prince Chen's Mansion, Ye Qiansui thought about what he heard in Empress Dowager Shao's palace during the day, and a bold idea came to his mind!
the next day!
A group of officials arrived at Prince Chen's Mansion early in the morning to welcome Prince Chen Qin Shaoqing to the exile gathering place and set off together!
In Prince Chen’s Mansion!
Under the arrangement of the housekeeper Wu Zhen, the property and everything needed for the journey had already been organized, loaded into the carriages, and ready to set off!
