Chapter 447 Recognition
Xuan Shaoqing looked at Queen Xuan in front of him, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Empress Xuan's tears flowed even more fiercely: "Luo'er, I am your mother, can you please call me mother?"
The son she had been thinking about so much was now standing in front of her alive. Queen Xuan was extremely excited and stared at Xuan Shaoqing's face greedily. She had always loved Xuan Shaoqing very much, not only because he was her younger brother, but also because he was the same age as Xuanyuan Luo. There was some element of transference in her love for Xuan Shaoqing.
And now, this little brother whom she had always loved and doted on turned out to be her son who died young. She didn't care about anything else and just wanted to hear her Luo'er call her mother.
Xuan Shaoqing looked into Empress Xuan's hopeful eyes, his heart trembling. He raised his hand and held Empress Xuan's hand, saying softly, "Mother."
"Oh." The word "mother" made Empress Xuan unable to hold back her tears. She hugged Xuan Shaoqing and burst into tears.
Hugging the crying Queen Xuan, Xuan Shaoqing couldn't help shedding tears, but at the same time, a part of his heart suddenly felt relieved.
After crying for a long time, Empress Xuan finally stopped crying. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Emperor Wen of Qi again. The disgust and hatred in her eyes made Emperor Wen of Qi feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. Although they had always treated each other with respect over the years, Empress Xuan had always been respectful to him.
"Xuanyuan Ye, I can't believe that you are such a beast worse than an animal. Luo'er is your biological son, and you want to put him to death just because of an inexplicable prophecy? Where is your conscience?" Thinking about how her son almost died more than 20 years ago, the resentment in Queen Xuan's heart became more intense.
"How dare you!" Emperor Wen of Qi was embarrassed by Empress Xuan's scolding and shouted angrily.
"How dare you?" Xuan Shaoqing stepped forward and glared at Emperor Wen of Qi. "You are the one who is being presumptuous. Do you still think you are the same supreme ruler above all others?"
"You..." Emperor Wen of Qi was furious: "I am your biological father, how dare you do this to me?"
"Hmph, are you worthy?" Xuan Shaoqing snorted coldly and said.
Emperor Wen of Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you don't acknowledge me, I am still your biological father. If you don't acknowledge me, you are being extremely unfilial."
Hearing this, Xuan Shaoqing sneered and said nothing more. There was no need to say anything more to such a scum.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Luo'er, it is our Xuanyuan family who has let you and your son down."
"Mother, I know. It's not your fault." Empress Xuan had seen how the Queen Mother had protected them mother and son over the years, so she would not vent her anger on them. Moreover, if the Queen Mother had not been there to calm her down, Luo'er might have really been killed by Xuanyuan Ye.
The Queen Mother shook her head: "After all, Ye'er went too far."
"Mother..." Emperor Wen of Qi frowned.
"Shut up." The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Wen of Qi with a look of dismay: "Ye'er, you are so confused. It's also my fault. I have indulged you too much over the years."
Emperor Wen of Qi snorted, but did not dare to argue with the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother looked at Empress Xuan and said, "But, after all, you are husband and wife. No matter what, he is Luo'er's biological father."
Empress Xuan had calmed down by now. She took a deep breath and said to the Queen Mother, "Mother, thank you very much for your protection over the years. However, I cannot forgive what Xuanyuan Ye did. Even if he is Luo'er's biological father, he is no longer worthy of being Luo'er's father."
Empress Xuan's words made the empress dowager tremble in her heart. Xuan Shaoqing would soon be the new emperor. If he held a grudge against Xuanyuan Ye, he might really take Ye'er's life. This was something she didn't want to see. She only had two sons, and she didn't want to see her son die before her.
"Mother, let Luo'er decide how to deal with the matter." Queen Xuan knew what the Queen Mother was thinking, so she added another sentence.
"Oh." The Queen Mother looked at Xuan Shaoqing and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything. It was the Xuanyuan family who had wronged this child. No matter what, she had to bear it.
Xuan Shaoqing naturally noticed the Queen Mother's hesitation to speak. He glanced at her and ordered, "Send the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother back to the palace, and send Princess Linyang back to Prince Kang's mansion."
Princess Linyang had not spoken a word since she entered the Qinzheng Palace. Now, when she heard that Xuan Shaoqing was going to send her back to Prince Kang's Mansion, she turned around and looked at Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou smiled at Princess Linyang and said, "Princess, please go back to your residence first."
Princess Linyang also knew that now was not the time to speak, so she nodded: "Okay."
Before leaving the Qinzheng Palace, the Queen Mother thought again and again, and finally said to Xuan Shaoqing: "Luo'er, no matter what, he is your father. If possible, treat him well."
"Grandma, please go back to the palace first." Xuan Shaoqing said in a calm voice.
"Oh——" The Queen Mother sighed, turned around and left with Queen Xuan.
After the Queen Mother and her companions left, Xuan Shaoqing turned to look at Xuanyuan Ye and Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che looked at Xuan Shaoqing for a long time and sneered, "Why, are you so impatient to deal with us?"
Xuan Shaoqing ignored Xuanyuan Che's words and said, "Come here, send Xuanyuan Ye and Xuanyuan Che to the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for the Xuanyuan clan. They are not allowed to leave the mausoleum for the rest of their lives."
"You..." Xuanyuan Che's eyes widened, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "What a cruel new emperor."
Emperor Wen of Qi was furious. He pointed at Xuan Shaoqing and cursed him: "You unfilial son, you are so unfilial! Be careful of being struck by lightning! I am your biological father, and you actually sent your biological father to guard the imperial mausoleum?"
"Even if the heavens were to strike, they would strike you first." Xuan Shaoqing sneered, "For over twenty years, your methods have never changed. It was just me twenty years ago, and now it's the Yuan family. Remember, your current situation is your own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"How dare you! I am your biological father. Aren't you afraid of being despised by everyone?" Xuanyuan Ye shouted angrily when he saw the guards coming to escort them.
"Everything you do will be announced to the world, and who knows who will be despised then." Xuan Shaoqing said coldly.
"You——" Xuanyuan Ye was choked and speechless.
"Xuan Shaoqing, I have never done anything to let you down." Xuanyuan Che said loudly.
Xuan Shaoqing looked at Xuanyuan Che and said, "I'm sorry, there are some things I must take precautions against, so you have to go to this imperial mausoleum whether you want to or not."
After saying this, without waiting for Xuanyuan Che to say anything else, Xuan Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
"yes."
After Xuanyuan and his son were escorted away, everyone looked at each other and knelt on the ground, "Greetings to His Majesty."
"Quickly stand up." Xuan Shaoqing said hurriedly, "Thank you for all the hard work today. I will reward you later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
