Chapter 255 Cutting off one's own retreat
A few days ago, Concubine Rou was worried and frightened, and all she could think about was the child.
Later, when I learned that the child was Lu Jingyu, I felt more relieved and happy.
It has been a long time since I thought of Qin Mingyue.
How to say it?
For so many years, Concubine Rou has been troubled by why her biological daughter is not close to her.
Why does her own daughter hate her so much?
This made her very uncomfortable and depressed, but she couldn't express her pain and didn't know how to relieve it.
It was not until he adopted Qing Ning as his adopted daughter that his condition improved.
Maybe to some extent, she was empathetic.
He transferred his love for his daughter to Qing Ning and found comfort.
But now, after hearing about Qin Mingyue again.
Concubine Rou found that she had once again returned to that state of depression and self-blame.
When the Queen Mother saw Concubine Rou in a trance, she instructed the palace maid:
"Since she has fainted, go and call the imperial physician to check on her."
"yes!"
After the maid left, the Queen Mother said to Sun Fuhai:
"This maid is not doing things properly. Replace her later."
The Queen Mother was a shrewd person and she knew very well that this little palace maid might have been bribed by Qin Mingyue.
That's why he took the opportunity to come and deliver the message when Concubine Rou came to Cining Palace.
I have to say that Qin Mingyue has become a little smarter.
Knowing that no one else can save her now, she thinks of Concubine Rou who was abandoned by her.
However, if Concubine Rou is really Qin Mingyue’s biological mother, this trick would still work.
But that's not the case.
The Queen Mother said to Concubine Rou, who was in a state of sadness:
"You have to change your temper."
"Mingyue is a clever kid, but she's actually not a bad person. She's easily influenced by others, so she was provoked by Su Tanxin's few words."
"But in fact, if you were stronger, even if she wasn't your biological daughter, your relationship wouldn't have become so distant over the years."
"Now that you have your own son and daughter-in-law, you must not be foolish in doing things."
Concubine Rou looked guilty and said quickly: "Thank you for your teachings, Queen Mother. I will definitely correct it in the future."
The Queen Mother: "Did the Emperor say what to do with Mingyue?"
The Queen Mother herself was also filled with sorrow.
The granddaughter whom he had doted on for so many years turned out not to be his own granddaughter.
But she just didn't show it.
Concubine Rou: "His Majesty said that when things settle down, the identities of the two will be exchanged back."
Lu Jingyu regained his status as a prince.
Qin Mingyue returned to the Duke's Mansion and became the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
Concubine Rou thought, if not so many unpleasant things had happened between her and Qin Mingyue.
She would adopt Qin Mingyue as her adopted daughter.
But now.
She didn't mention it.
In fact, the Queen Mother was also waiting to see whether Concubine Rou would feel sorry for her and propose to adopt Mingyue as her adopted daughter.
But she didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother didn't continue the topic.
The Queen Mother still felt sorry for Mingyue.
I thought I would ask the emperor for mercy and give her the title of a princess.
As long as Mingyue behaves herself in the future, the Queen Mother is willing to subsidize her herself.
It won’t be difficult to have enough food and clothing in the future.
But at this moment, Qin Mingyue, who was supposed to be locked up, suddenly rushed in from outside.
When she saw Concubine Rou, she immediately hugged her thighs.
Tears fell down.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. Can you help me ask the Imperial Grandmother to stop locking me up?"
Concubine Rou was shocked and didn't react for a long time.
The Queen Mother's face darkened.
"Mingyue, I've already said it before. I'm not locking you up on purpose. It's just that you can't leave for the time being. This is also for your own good!"
If they hadn’t detained Qin Mingyue.
If things go wrong this time, Su Tanxin may use Qin Mingyue to do something bad.
Qin Mingyue became even more angry after hearing what the Queen Mother said.
"What do you mean you didn't lock me up on purpose? Then it was intentional?"
"Grandmother, you always say you love me the most. Is this how you love me?"
Her eyes were red and she looked at Concubine Rou with great grievance.
"Mother, Mingyue really knows she was wrong. I distanced myself from you before because Concubine Su deceived me."
"I will never be fooled by her again. I will listen to you in everything from now on, okay?"
"Please help me go to my father and ask him to let me go."
"I can't stay in this Cining Palace for even a day!"
Concubine Rou has already reacted.
But when he heard Qin Mingyue's disrespectful attitude towards the Queen Mother, he immediately frowned.
"Mingyue, you shouldn't disobey the Queen Mother. In this world, the Queen Mother is the best person to you."
"She's nice to me? Then why doesn't she let me go?"
Qin Mingyue snorted coldly and glared at the Queen Mother angrily.
"Grandmother, you are just pampering me because you are old and bored all day, but you are just treating me like a toy!"
"I'm really in trouble, and you definitely won't stand by me!"
"Mother is still the best. She has always been very kind to me. It's all my fault for being so stupid that I didn't realize it earlier!"
Seeing Qin Mingyue trying so hard to please her, Concubine Rou was speechless.
The Queen Mother's expression was already quite ugly.
Sun Fuhai couldn't listen any longer, so he quickly said, "Auntie, please stop talking!"
Qin Mingyue stood up and slapped Sun Fuhai in the face.
"Our master is speaking, how can a eunuch like you have the right to speak?"
The Queen Mother finally got angry and slammed the table.
"That's enough! Don't you want to leave? Well, go ahead. No one should stop her, let her go!"
"From now on, you will never be allowed to enter the gate of the Cining Palace!"
Concubine Rou quickly pulled Qin Mingyue, "Hurry up and kneel down to admit your mistake to the Queen Mother!"
Qin Mingyue hugged Concubine Rou's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Mother, you have a good temper and don't offend anyone. In fact, the one who imprisoned me this time was the Imperial Grandmother."
Seeing Qin Mingyue being so stubborn, Concubine Rou didn't know what to say.
The Queen Mother had already turned around and left with a gloomy face.
Concubine Rou had no choice but to say goodbye and followed him out of the Cining Palace.
Qin Mingyue followed immediately.
She was even happier when she saw that no one was following her.
"Mother, will you accompany me to the Imperial Study now and apologize to Father?"
"Please, I am your only daughter. You don't want to see Father always angry with me, right?"
Only daughter.
Concubine Rou looked at Qin Mingyue and knew that she still wanted to use her until now.
The main purpose was to obtain the forgiveness of Emperor Minghe.
Concubine Rou suddenly let it go completely.
She nodded, "Okay, let's go to the Imperial Study to find His Majesty."
Qin Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up.
She actually regretted it.
If I had known that asking Concubine Rou for help would be so effective, I should have given in earlier.
I wouldn't have to suffer so much.
In fact, Qin Mingyue still looked down on her mother.
She is gentle all day long, but she cries and feels aggrieved at the slightest provocation.
Such people are really useless.
If she were to choose, she would still prefer the outspoken and strong Concubine Su to be her mother.
But right now, she wasn't stupid enough to say it.
During this period of time, I will try to appease Concubine Rou, and consider other things after I have regained my former dignity as Princess Jin'an.
She wanted He Ming to kneel at her feet and repent.
Oh, and there are statements.
It was obvious that I had always asked for everything from him, and he never complained.
But after seeing her being placed under house arrest in the Cining Palace, she completely disappeared?
She must teach him a lesson, too!
Qin Mingyue came to the imperial study with all kinds of fantasies along the way.
Emperor Minghe looked up at her and was slightly stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Just as Concubine Rou was about to speak, she heard Qin Mingyue deliberately say coquettishly:
"Father, it was the Empress Dowager who kept me here and wouldn't let me leave."
"Luckily, my mother went to the Cining Palace and brought me out."
Concubine Rou said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, that's not the case."
"It was Mingyue who angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was angry, so she asked me to bring her here."
"The Queen Mother said that she will not care about it anymore."
Until this time, Qin Mingyue hadn't realized it.
How important was the Queen Mother's words 'she doesn't care' to her?
Because Qin Mingyue was full of disgust when she saw Concubine Rou like this.
What a useless mother.
Emperor Minghe immediately understood the whole story. He looked at Qin Mingyue and said gently:
"Mingyue, do you know that the things you did wrong before were wrong?"
Qin Mingyue nodded immediately, "Father, I know I was wrong. I will definitely change in the future. I will definitely respect you and my mother."
"Will you forgive your daughter?"
She was acting like a spoiled brat as usual.
Thinking that Emperor Minghe would definitely forgive her and indulge her as usual.
But after a while, Qin Mingyue found something strange, because her father's expression was as calm as ever.
"Father?"
Emperor Minghe: "Mingyue, you should go back to the palace first."
Qin Mingyue felt something was strange.
But I can't tell exactly what's strange about it.
But my father no longer blames me or restricts me, which is a good thing.
She turned around and asked Concubine Rou hypocritically, "Mother, do you want me to go to Qiulu Palace to accompany you?"
Concubine Rou hurriedly said, "No need, you have been in the palace for so long, you should go back home first."
Qin Mingyue immediately said, "Well, I'll go back first and rest for a few days before coming to the palace to see you."
After saying this, she bowed to Emperor Minghe and said goodbye.
Emperor Minghe rubbed his brows and said, "She is so stupid that she even hurt the Queen Mother and cut off her own retreat."
The Queen Mother really loves Qin Mingyue.
Because on the day Qin Mingyue was born, the Queen Mother's headache that had troubled her for many years was cured.
But in fact, the empress dowager’s lucky star should not be Qin Mingyue, but Lu Jingyu.
Concubine Rou: "It's her own fault. We can't persuade her."
Emperor Minghe: "You don't have to worry about her anymore. By the way, you went to the Cining Palace, didn't you see Jingyu?"
Concubine Rou was stunned. "No, I heard that the Queen Mother was upset these days, so I went to the Cining Palace to accompany her."
"Why, did Jingyu go to Qiulu Palace?"
Emperor Minghe nodded.
"Looking at the time, if he came back empty-handed, he should have left by now."
"But don't worry, he will come to see you again. And he should have left a message for the palace servants in Qiulu Palace."
Before Emperor Minghe finished speaking, he heard Concubine Rou impatiently say:
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!"
After saying that, she got up and left.
Emperor Minghe: "..."
