Bei Mingxuan deliberately said in front of the emperor, "That...that was an accident, a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Concubine Tong sighed. "Listen to your own heart. If you don't believe it yourself, how can you make me believe it... That's all! He is your biological father after all."
At this moment, the room was filled with deep sadness, and no one spoke easily. Chang'an looked at the emperor who had never spoken a word, wondering what he was thinking at this moment?
After a while, the emperor stood up.
There was a searching look in his eyes, as if he didn't recognize Concubine Tong, and he looked at her for a long time.
Chang'an thought he would say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything until he left.
When Concubine Tong heard the footsteps, she knew that the emperor had left. However, after more than ten years and thousands of days and nights, she had long lost her innocence. She finally realized a truth, that is, "change". If you want to survive in this palace, you must learn the trick of changing your face and learn to take an unconventional approach.
It’s true that the Queen Mother is my aunt.
However, she is also the biological mother of the emperor. When it comes to life and property, interests and power between her son and niece, she does not need to make a choice at all and will naturally stand by her son.
After the Queen Mother watched the Emperor leave, she spoke to Concubine Tong, "Concubine Tong, it's been so long since that happened. Let it go.
Now that you have left Anxi Palace, the Emperor will no longer confine you."
"Many things cannot be let go just by saying so." Concubine Tong turned towards the Queen Mother and said, "Let time take care of everything. But I am always worried about Prince Yi. I don't know what his current situation is, whether he is dead or alive."
The Queen Mother walked towards Concubine Tong and said, "Yitong, you and I are both from the Xu family. I also hope you are well.
I hope that the position of Queen will be held by someone from our Xu family. You know, the Emperor heard every word you said just now. He is right in front of you, and he actually has you in his heart, do you know that? "
"Is the Emperor here?" Concubine Tong shook her head and smiled. "Aunt, why did you have to trick me into thinking the Emperor was here just to stop me from resenting him?"
Bei Mingxuan glanced at his mother, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and he lowered his head and listened quietly to the conversation between the Queen Mother and his mother.
"I won't lie to you." The Queen Mother said helplessly, "Ask Chang'an and Xuan'er."
"Mother, Father was really here just now." Bei Mingxuan guessed that if his mother just didn't want to face his father,
She didn't want to admit it. What she just said was said to her father. So no matter what she said, she would not admit this fact. Anyway, she couldn't see it.
"No." Concubine Tong's answer was exactly as Bei Mingxuan had guessed. She refused to admit it. "Xuan'er, I know you also hope that I can regain your father's favor and reconcile with him. But please don't bully your mother. She is now blind, okay?"
Bei Mingxuan glanced at Concubine Tong with eyes full of heartache, and when he looked at the Queen Mother again, he looked helpless. Finally, he agreed, "Son, I'll remember it."
"Forget it!" The Queen Mother was also helpless. "I am tired, Xuan'er, don't let your mother get tired, and talk less."
"Yes, grandson will remember this."
Manager Li came in and helped the empress dowager to the bedroom.
Concubine Tong looked exhausted. "Xuan'er, help me go for a while. Chang'an, come in with me and talk to me for a while."
"Yes." Chang'an followed Bei Mingxuan and Concubine Tong and headed towards the side hall in Fushou Palace.
In Concubine Tong's bedroom, "Chang'an, Xuan'er said that you have a letter your mother left for me. Read it to Aunt Tong."
Chang'an looked at Bei Mingxuan. The letter was clearly on him.
Bei Mingxuan said nothing and placed the letter in Chang'an's hands very gently.
"Okay." Chang'an took the letter and opened it. "Yitong, I don't expect you to see this letter. Because when you see it, it means I am no longer alive.
The midwife said that the fetus in the womb was in the wrong position and the delivery might not be smooth.
For this reason, I leave you a letter.
I wanted to go see you, but the palace gates were too deep to allow us to meet. I was also too heavy to move and could not visit you at night.
I know you are wronged, but now that things have come to this, we need to think carefully.
Don't worry about Xuan'er. I have found a master for Xuan'er, Kunlun Wuchenzi. This man is first-class in martial arts, strategy, and tactics. Many strategists and famous generals in the four countries came from his school. With him as Xuan'er's master, Xuan'er will be no worse than anyone else in the future, both in character and in academics.
On the contrary, it is you, with your upright character and donkey-like stubborn temper, that makes me uneasy. You must remember to protect yourself no matter what.
After I pass away, I hope you will take care of Chang'an for me in the future. When you are free, remember to tell her that I really don't want to leave her, but it's my fate.
Do you remember the embroidered purse I gave you? Remember we once said that when my daughter grows up, you will give it to her in person, and remember to leave the purse to Chang'an, as a token of my love for her.
Take care! Enter Nangong Qiuya.
After Chang'an finished reading, he looked up at Bei Mingxuan. He had countless feelings in his heart but didn't know how to express them.
"She..." Tong Fei opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Aunt Tong, you are tired, take a rest first." Chang'an was in a very low mood. "When you feel better, Chang'an will talk to you again."
As she spoke, Chang An had already stood up. Just as she turned around to leave, Concubine Tong grabbed her wrist and said, "I'm not tired."
Changan looked at his wrist, neither cold nor indifferent, and no emotion could be heard from him. "Aunt Tong, Changan is tired."
Concubine Tong still held Chang'an's wrist, but didn't say a word.
"Actually, my mother is just a thought in my heart, a painting hanging on the wall." Chang An's lips flickered with a wry smile as she looked into Bei Mingxuan's eyes. "It's just that I suddenly feel a little jealous...jealous of the Ninth Prince. Although he was separated from you at a very young age, he still has hope, he still has expectations, and he still has my mother."
Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an in shock, watching her smile and then shed tears.
At this moment, he actually felt a pain spreading in his heart and into every drop of his blood.
"From now on." Concubine Tong held Chang'an and promised, "I will treat you as my own daughter. Are you willing to call me your mother and daughter?"
"...I don't want to." Chang'an said seriously.
Concubine Tong was surprised, "..."
Bei Mingxuan stared at Chang'an for a long moment, then whispered softly in Concubine Tong's ear, "I also disagree with you and Chang'an calling each other mother and daughter. I intend to have Chang'an call you mother-in-law. Is that okay with you, Mother?"
"..." Concubine Tong smiled, "Okay!"
"Then, mother, have a good rest. I will take Chang'an back to rest first."
