Chapter 167: Rejected
"This matter must not be made public, especially to the old lady."
After struggling to digest the news from the palace, Lu Yuanduo rubbed his swollen and painful Taiyangxue channel.
He has been hearing bad news one after another these days and hasn't slept for many days. At this moment, his eyes are bloodshot and his brows are full of fatigue.
He didn't dare to imagine how chaotic the Lu family would be if this news reached his mother's ears.
But God didn't let him have his wish——
"What is it that an old woman like me cannot hear?"
With a thump, thump, thump, Old Lady Lu appeared on crutches, her cloudy, gloomy eyes staring at her eldest son unhappily. "What are you trying to hide from me?"
Lu Yuanduo closed his eyes, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He held his forehead and laughed at himself, thinking that what he feared would come true.
The followers reflexively lowered their heads and stepped aside.
Since the old lady came back from Qingyu Temple, she has not only become extremely thin, but her temper has also become more and more strange and difficult to deal with.
Especially her gloomy eyes made people's hair stand on end.
"Why did you come here in person, mother? If you have anything to say, just tell the servants to let me know, and I will go there myself."
Old Lady Lu sneered, her tone unfriendly: "If an old lady like me didn't come, how would I know that you were hiding something from me?"
She had a stern face, her cheekbones slightly protruding, and banged her cane hard on the ground. "Tell me, what's going on?"
"This is not what my mother wants to hear. Given your current physical condition, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to bear it."
Lu Yuanduo simply stated the facts.
"Hmph!" Old Lady Lu said in a deep voice. Her voice was particularly hoarse and harsh from the cold.
"Old woman, I've been through enough ups and downs in my life. There's nothing I can't handle. Just tell me what's good and what's bad, and I'll tell you for myself!"
Her old bones have survived a harsh place like Qingyu Temple. There is nothing in this world that she cannot overcome.
Lu Yuanduo was silent for a moment, then told her expressionlessly, "Chang Sui is not my third brother's child."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then blurted out a question: "What nonsense are you talking about? Whose child could it be if not Feng Lan's?"
She narrowed her eyes and looked at her eldest son, "Could it be yours?"
Lu Yuanduo's face suddenly darkened, "Mother, be careful with your words!"
He took a deep breath and said, "Chang Sui is the emperor's biological child."
The crutch hit the ground with a clang. The old lady looked terrified and said, "Impossible!"
Lu Yuanduo: "This was personally acknowledged by His Majesty, and it has now spread throughout the capital."
"How could this happen?" The old lady's expression suddenly changed. Anger swept over her, and her expression became terrifying. "Yun Wan is having an affair and betraying your third brother!"
Lu Yuanduo lowered his eyes to hide a trace of sadness, and said in a cold tone: "If mother wants to kill all of us, then go out and shout loudly. Let's see who goes to jail faster, us or you."
Even now, his mother still does not repent and blames others for her mistakes. It can be seen that the experience of Qingyu Temple has not made her wake up.
He turned around and didn't want to explain anything to her anymore.
The old lady was in disbelief, her expression dazed, and she kept muttering, "Impossible! I don't believe it! I don't believe it—"
With a bang, she fell to the ground, dizzy, convulsing all over, her mouth and tongue twisted, and she lost consciousness.
"old lady!"
The attendant beside him exclaimed, "My Lord, the old lady's symptoms seem to be a stroke!"
Old Mrs. Lu had a stroke!
However, compared with the two major events that happened in the palace, the news that the old lady of the Lu family had a stroke and was paralyzed was not worth mentioning.
........
As soon as he got off the imperial sedan chair, Asui ran into his room with his short legs and slammed the door shut.
This means that you want to be alone and not be disturbed.
Emperor Jingxuan touched his nose which was almost hit, raised his hand to knock on the door but then put it down.
Forcing our way in at this time would probably backfire.
Seeing this, Jiang Fusheng broke into a sweat and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the little prince will find it difficult to accept it for a while. Please give the child some time."
His Majesty has never had much patience with children, and he was worried that Asui's behavior would be seen as willful in the eyes of Emperor Jingxuan.
After all, if the Crown Prince and the Third Prince dared to do this, His Majesty would have people break down the door.
Glancing at him, Emperor Jingxuan said displeasedly: "I naturally understand the truth, do I need you to teach me?"
Jiang Fusheng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the young prince is angry because he cares about you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small angry voice came from behind the heavy door: "I don't care!"
Emperor Jingxuan seemed to be smiling.
Jiang Fusheng lowered his head and smiled, praising him: "Your Highness has really sharp ears!"
Yun Wan just happened to rush back from outside and saw Emperor Jingxuan being blocked outside the door.
"His Majesty."
She was breathing slightly, having hurried all the way here, and was covered in dust. Her delicate, fair face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were full of worry.
Emperor Jingxuan stepped forward quickly, "Madam."
Feeling the coldness of her fingertips, he frowned fiercely, "Why are your hands so cold?"
He turned around and ordered, "Go get the heater!"
Yun Wan didn't feel anything even though she had something on her mind. She shook her head and said, "It's okay."
She glanced at the closed door, a look of deep worry in her eyes. "Is Ah Sui okay? I heard he had a conflict with the young master of the Pingnan family."
Yun Wan was originally in Huipin's palace. When she heard that Asui was in trouble, she hurried to Hongwenguan.
The harem was far away from the Hongwenguan. The weather was cold and the road was slippery, so the palace maids carrying the sedan chair did not dare to walk fast, which delayed some time. By the time she arrived, the person had already left, so she had to go back home.
"cough."
Clearing his throat, Emperor Jingxuan tried to downplay the situation in a calm tone, "Madam, don't worry. Our son is fine. He just has a couple of scratches. He's been treated with medicine. He didn't suffer any loss in the fight."
He spoke quickly with a relaxed expression, so it seemed like nothing was wrong, and Yun Wan felt a little relieved.
"So what are you doing?"
Why were I turned away?
Emperor Jingxuan's lips moved as he uttered a few words: "He knows."
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, then understood. No wonder she felt the atmosphere was weird on the way back. Those palace servants seemed to respect her more than before?
It turned out that everyone knew Asui's life experience.
After a little thought, Yun Wan understood why Asui didn't let anyone in.
Emperor Jingxuan put the heater brought by the palace maid into her hands and raised his hand to help her fix her hair. "Madam, please go in and take a look at that boy. He only listens to you, Madam."
Yun Wan nodded.
She reached out and knocked on the door, her voice soft and coaxing: "A Sui, dear, it's mother."
"Can I come in, Madam?"
After a short pause, Yun Wan continued, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. But you have to go in."
She pretended to push the door, making a slight noise.
Emperor Jingxuan clicked his tongue. If that brat dared to not let his wife in, he would have to be a strict father.
Fortunately, after a while, Ah Sui's slightly hoarse voice came from the room: "Mother, come in!"
"No one else is allowed!"
Emperor Jingxuan:...Who should I choose?
