"If a child has been wronged, why can't he talk to an adult?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "The Crown Prince came to you to talk, but Pu'er can't come to me to talk?"
It turned out that Lu Zhixing had been here. This child was restless even though he was blind.
The emperor's expression turned even uglier. "Mother, Yan Zhou did go too far this time, but he is my brother after all, and he is also the crown prince of a country. We should show some mercy when we can."
"Emperor, the prince has already reached adulthood. If you continue to protect him like this, I'm afraid the government and the people will find it difficult to stop." The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, her tone full of threats.
Is the court in trouble? Perhaps it's you, the Lin family, who are in trouble? The emperor looked directly at the empress dowager. "The woman has been rescued and is unharmed. Why is Prince Jing still making a fuss? Are you joining him in this nonsense?"
"Nonsense?" The Queen Mother's face was stern. "The Crown Prince, as the heir to a country, is not upright and disregards the law. This is nonsense! If Pu'er didn't have Lin's blood in her body, you wouldn't say this, right?"
This was the first time the Queen Mother had confronted the Emperor about this matter. The Emperor suddenly looked at her, "What are you talking about, Mother?"
"Emperor, I have to remind you that the prince's actions today can be inflicted on his brothers, and in the future it can also be inflicted on you." The empress dowager blew on the hot tea in her hand and took a sip.
Although the mother and son had different positions, this sentence was not wrong. The emperor remained silent and did not refute.
The Queen Mother continued, "You were the one who asked Pu'er to investigate the case, but the one who disobeyed was your beloved Crown Prince. He knew you wanted to investigate, but he still pretended to obey you. Do you really think he is on the same page with you? Your son was not raised by being pampered, but by being taught."
Although she has a different stance from the emperor, the emperor's actions today are inseparable from the empress dowager's contribution.
The emperor was awakened by the empress dowager and was shocked. He always thought that protecting the prince was to protect his bargaining chip against the Lin family, but he neglected to teach the prince and cultivated the prince into such a mentality.
"My Queen Mother taught me that." The Emperor sighed. At this moment, the Emperor was just like an ordinary son chatting with his mother. "My son is indeed not as good as my Queen Mother."
Since the Emperor came of age, he has been trying to break free from Lin's control. It has been a long time since they have had such a harmonious conversation. The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "I am not much better than you. Otherwise, how could we, mother and son, be in this situation today?"
Lin is an insurmountable hurdle in the hearts of both mother and son.
The emperor did not continue the conversation and stood up. "I will not allow Prince Jing to continue investigating this case, and I will comfort Prince Jing. Mother, can you ask Lin not to use this as an excuse to attack the Crown Prince?"
"If he does something wrong, he must be punished, even if he is the crown prince of a country." The Queen Mother did not give in. Moreover, Lin was not someone she could decide for herself.
The emperor actually knew what was going on and was not angry at the empress dowager's words. He just turned away.
Soon, an imperial edict came from the palace, transferring the case of Wuyang Marquis's illegitimate son to the seventh prince Lu Yanwen. Along with the edict came a large number of rare treasures and silks.
Lu Zhixing stood up and sent away the eunuch who announced the decree, and looked at the boxes of things being carried into the mansion with an expressionless face.
"There is only one decree from the palace." Liu Bai whispered in Lu Zhixing's ear.
It can be seen that even the Queen Mother's intervention could not change the Emperor's mind of favoring the Prince.
The last bit of hope that Lu Zhixing had for the emperor disappeared with this decree. He would not fight for the world and could die at any time and anywhere in this cold royal family.
The emperor has disliked him since he was a child, and Lin has only used him. Now that he is no longer disabled, Lin even wants to get rid of him directly to pave the way for his fifth brother.
In the vast world, it seemed that Song Yushu was the only one left...
Song Yushu finally woke up. When she was awake, she remembered that she had cried while holding Lu Zhixing's hand when she was unconscious. It was so embarrassing that she covered her face with her hands and didn't want to face the world.
It's just that her movement was a bit too big and pulled the wound on her neck, causing her to take a deep breath in pain.
"Master, you have a wound on your neck. The doctor in the mansion came to see it and said that the wound is not shallow. You must not move." Chao He, who was waiting on the side, hurried forward to stop Song Yushu's actions.
But Song Yushu was unwilling to let go, and she didn't dare to pull him hard.
"Don't bother me, I'm going to bang my head against the wall." Song Yushu's unclear words came out from between his fingers.
"Master, what are you talking about?" Chao He said anxiously, "You scared us to death this time, please don't scare us again."
"You'll get used to it after a while." Song Yushu pulled the corner of her mouth to comfort her. She was careless this time and had nothing on her except moxibustion needles. Next time, she would definitely carry some handy weapons with her.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh." Chao He quickly spat a few times, "Master, please don't say these things carelessly!"
Song Yushu was about to retort when he heard Lu Zhixing's voice, "You're talking nonsense now that you're awake."
"This servant pays homage to His Majesty."
"You go down first."
Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing were the only two people left in the room. Song Yushu felt even more embarrassed and covered his face with his hands, not daring to let go.
"The wound hasn't healed yet, why are you moving around? Put your hand down."
Song Yushu keenly noticed that Lu Zhixing was not in a good mood. She reluctantly put down her hand, not daring to look directly at Lu Zhixing. "Prince, why are you here?"
Lu Zhixing naturally touched her forehead, pushed the messy hair behind Song Yushu's ear, and finally held her hand, "I just want to stay with you for a while."
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a plain white brocade robe, his hair was not carefully combed, and the haggardness on his face was visible to the naked eye.
Song Yushu held Lu Zhixing's hand lovingly, "Your Highness, this bed is quite big. Why don't you take a rest?"
She had no thoughts in her mind, she just wanted Lu Zhixing to have a rest, and she didn't know whether he was wronged because he went to the empress dowager or because of the emperor's decree.
Lu Zhixing is actually a very loyal person. During the years when he was blind, he never said a word when the Lin family took away his power.
It's just that Lin and Prince Yu were too greedy and crazy, and wanted to kill him, so he fought back. Only these close relatives could make Lu Zhixing so disappointed.
Lu Zhixing was stunned. He glanced at Song Yushu, whose eyes were clear, and finally lay down beside her. He held Song Yushu's hand and slowly closed his eyes.
Watching Lu Zhixing sleeping soundly, Song Yushu secretly touched his stubble. In fact, she had fallen in love with Lu Zhixing as they got to know each other better, but she didn't dare to say it, and didn't dare to agree to Lu Zhixing.
I'm afraid that one day they will be separated because of this, and I'm also afraid that if I really succeed in my revenge, there will be a gap between us.
As the Chief Secretary, I can accompany Lu Zhixing the longest, and I can also accomplish what I want to accomplish. How great is that?
But now, seeing Lu Zhixing like this, she also wanted to make him happy and indulge herself for once...
