Chapter 204 Can I Hate My Mother?
After hearing this, the queen stood up with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Are you willing to go see Su'er?"
Then he walked forward with a smile and took Concubine Zhou's hand.
"Come on, I'll go with you. He's in the side hall. Su'er will definitely be happy to see you."
Concubine Zhou looked at the smile on the queen's face and couldn't help but think, it seems that the queen really loves the fifth prince.
Side hall.
Yinli applied medicine to the fifth prince and considerately pulled his clothes up for him.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid your injury will take several days to heal. How about I help you walk outside to get some fresh air?"
The fifth prince looked at his calf, which had been hit by a burning piece of wood at that time, so it hurt when he walked.
"No problem, wait two days."
"Go find some more books for this prince to read."
His Highness has been spending the past few days reading. Yinli looked at him and spoke.
"Your Highness has been in the palace these days, and Miss Third doesn't know anything. I'm afraid she'll be worried. How about bringing Miss Third into the palace and letting her talk to Your Highness?"
Concubine Yao has now been demoted to Zhaoyi, and the palace is managed by the Queen Mother. Fu Shu should not have any difficulties entering the palace, Xuanyuan Su nodded.
"Okay."
In her mind, she couldn't help but overlap her face with that man's face.
At this time, the voice of the simultaneous interpreter came from outside the door.
"The Empress has arrived, and Concubine Zhou has arrived."
Seeing the Queen and Concubine Zhou walk in together, a hint of surprise flashed in the Fifth Prince's eyes, and then he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Seeing this, the queen spoke first.
"Shu'er, please sit down and don't get up. There is no outsider here."
Xuanyuan Su looked up at the two of them when he heard that.
"Mother, Queen Mother."
The queen smiled and spoke.
"Your mother came to see you today."
Ever since what happened that year, I entered Jingsi Palace and haven't been close to the Fifth Prince for many years. Later, when the Fifth Prince came to see me, I was also cold and indifferent. Unexpectedly, there was a fire and I was out of Jingsi Palace. It was he who rescued me. I felt complicated and guilty towards this son.
"Your injury..."
"Mother, your injury..."
The mother and son spoke at the same time. The queen smiled with relief and hoped that the relationship between the mother and son would get better after today.
He silently winked at Yinli in the room, then walked out.
Yinli also retreated silently.
Only mother and son were left in the room.
Over the years, his mother had never taken the initiative to look at him. The Fifth Prince looked at Concubine Zhou and couldn't help but clench his hands a little.
Concubine Zhou spoke again.
"Are your injuries feeling better?"
The fifth prince nodded.
"Thank you for your concern, Mother. I change the dressings and take medicine every day. I am much better now. The wound on your arm is much better now."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhou smiled and spoke.
"It's almost healed, but there are some scars left, but it's okay."
Then he looked at the fifth prince for a moment.
"Have you hated my mother all these years?"
Hate? In the early years, I never understood why other people's mothers would protect their children? But my mother would just hide in Jingsi Palace and see no one. Later, as I grew up, I realized that perhaps my mother was just using other methods to protect me.
"When I was little, I resented Mother."
"After growing up, I experienced some things, and saw some things, so I stopped complaining."
"If it weren't for my grandparents protecting me these years, I'm afraid I would have been..."
"I also know that the Zhou family was able to protect me because my mother is their daughter. I have also investigated what happened back then. Mother, you suffered an injustice. After the truth came to light, you refused to see my father again. I understand you."
"So I don't blame you, Mother."
When Concubine Zhou heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
“You don’t blame…”
The Fifth Prince looked at Concubine Zhou.
"Don't blame me. It's not my place to interfere in the affairs of my mother and father. Over the years... although there have been some setbacks, I have finally grown up!"
Then he changed the subject.
"How are your plans from now on, mother?"
"I heard that Father has been very kind to Mother these days."
After hearing this, Concubine Zhou smiled helplessly.
"The emperor's favor, when he cares about you, he coaxes you; when he doesn't care, he..."
"Shu'er, in two days, I will find an opportunity to ask the Emperor for a place to stay. We will continue to live as usual. If you are not busy, come and have tea with me."
Xuanyuan Su looked up in surprise, knowing that his mother was willing to see him more often, and then spoke with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I will visit you often."
"Mother, do you want to meet your uncle?"
"Over the years, your uncle has missed you very much. He even mentioned it to me that if he had known earlier, he would not have allowed you to enter the palace."
Thinking of the Zhou family, I actually didn't want to enter the palace back then, but I was the only daughter in the Zhou family, and since the emperor chose me, I had no choice but to enter the palace. My personality was actually not suitable for the palace. When I first entered the palace, I could still remember my mother's advice and was cautious in the palace, not fighting or competing.
Later, when she gave birth to Su'er, she relied on the emperor's favor to be complacent. Later, she was framed to cause a concubine to have a miscarriage, and she was locked up in the cold palace. Later, the truth came to light, and she was extremely disappointed with the emperor. She didn't want to see anyone and thought about what the queen had said over the years.
Concubine Zhou spoke.
"Over the years, mother has been willful."
The fifth prince spoke hurriedly after hearing this.
"Then I will ask my uncle to come to the palace to see me tomorrow. Would it be alright if my mother also came to see me?"
Concubine Zhou nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Then he looked outside the door and window.
Xuanyuan Su spoke upon seeing this.
"Mother, I have something to tell you. Don't worry, it's safe here."
Concubine Zhou moved closer to the Fifth Prince and lowered her voice.
"Su'er, the Yao family only had their rank demoted. The injury you suffered that day was in vain..."
The fifth prince spoke after hearing this.
"Mother, Concubine Yao has been favored for many years. With Prince Rong by her side, it's impossible to depose her directly. It was thanks to Mother that day."
Concubine Zhou spoke slowly.
"You've come to save Mother, so if Mother can help you, she'll naturally listen to you."
Xuanyuan Su looked at Zhou Bin's arm.
"But mother's injury will leave marks."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhou reached out and touched the Fifth Prince's head.
"My mother is no longer vying for favor, so this little trace is nothing."
"Su'er, your mother knows your own temperament and your own mind. Your mother will pray for you in the future. You already have the Queen as your mother, so your mother cannot..."
It turned out that his mother had always been thinking about him. Xuanyuan Su leaned his head on Concubine Zhou's shoulder.
"I understand. When I come to visit you in the future, please just talk to me more."
Regent's Palace.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Xiao Fuguang and spoke.
"I've already sent Wen Ying and Xiu Ming to Yongcheng. They'll take the opportunity to disguise themselves as bandits and find a way to deal with Su Yan."
