Chapter 385 Concubine Hui is offline
As for Shangguan Nanfeng, he followed the eunuch all the way to the imperial study. When he arrived, he saw his father sitting there, reviewing memorials, as usual.
"Father." Shangguan Nanfeng stepped forward with a cold tone.
In the Sky Prison, he thought a lot, some of which he understood, while others he didn't.
Among them, he still felt that his current state was caused by his father's favoritism.
His heart was not convinced.
"During your time in the Heavenly Prison, have you realized that you were wrong?" The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Shangguan Nanfeng.
Shangguan Nanfeng looked much more decadent, and his skin had turned pale and bloodless due to not seeing the sun for a long time.
A hint of heartache flashed across the emperor's eyes, but he hid it so quickly that Shangguan Nanfeng didn't even notice it.
"The emperor knows he was wrong."
Shangguan Nanfeng lowered his head, hiding the resentment and anger in his heart. Now he could not anger his father again, and he did not want to enter the prison again.
"You will be punished if you admit your mistakes. From now on, you will stay in the Second Prince's Mansion to reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to come out without my order."
The emperor looked at Shangguan Nanfeng again and finally made this decision.
"Your Majesty, I want to know how my mother is doing." Shangguan Nanfeng was not surprised to hear the emperor's words, but asked.
Although Fuping had already told him the answer before, he still wanted to know what his father would say.
"Your mother has passed away." After hearing Shangguan Nanfeng's question, the emperor answered without hesitation, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
Her son became what he is today because of that woman.
"I understand." Shangguan Nanfeng, who heard an answer completely different from Fuping's, did not question it out loud, but simply agreed.
"Father, my mother has harmed my fifth brother. I want to apologize to Concubine Yu on my mother's behalf. If I go back to the Second Prince's Mansion like this, I may never be able to leave."
After Shangguan Nanfeng said this, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, speaking earnestly.
"Go, Nanfeng, I hope you are truly repentant." After listening to Shangguan Nanfeng's words, the emperor stared at him for a long time and finally agreed to his request.
In the palace, Concubine Yu couldn't believe her ears when she heard that Shangguan Nanfeng was released because her own daughter threatened her with her life.
She never thought that her daughter would help the enemy.
This even made Concubine Yu wonder if her daughter had a mental problem.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is here." Just when Concubine Yu was feeling angry and had no place to vent, a palace maid hurried up to report.
"What is he doing here? I won't see him." When Yu Fei heard that Shangguan Nanfeng had actually come, she thought of Shangguan Nanfeng's identity and realized that no matter how angry she was, she couldn't touch him. It would be better not to see him.
When the palace maid saw that Concubine Yu said she didn't want to see him, she ran out again and respectfully replied to Shangguan Nanfeng.
"Just say that I'm here to apologize. I'm very sorry about what happened to my fifth brother." Shangguan Nanfeng looked inside the door and spoke in a very loud voice. Obviously, Yufei inside the door could hear it.
"The person is dead, what's the use of apologizing? I don't want to see you, get out of here!" Not long after the palace maid ran in, she heard Concubine Yu's angry voice coming from inside.
Obviously, Yu Fei also knew that Shangguan Nanfeng could hear what she said.
And she deliberately let Shangguan Nanfeng hear it.
After hearing what Concubine Yu said, Shangguan Nanfeng pulled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth and turned around, but did not leave immediately.
This time, he came to apologize sincerely. He really didn't know that his mother would kill his fifth brother.
In this abdication incident, the only thing he felt guilty about was the matter concerning his fifth brother.
"Second Prince, please stay. Someone wants to see you." Just when Shangguan Nanfeng had not gone far from Concubine Yu's palace, a eunuch's voice called him.
"Is it my mother?" Shangguan Nanfeng turned around and looked at the father-in-law who was talking to him, with an affirmative tone.
Before, Fuping told himself clearly in the Heavenly Prison that his mother was imprisoned in Concubine Yu's palace. He knew that his mother's people were still in Concubine Yu's palace. He was betting that his mother had a way to let him see her.
"Come with me." When Eunuch Lu heard Shangguan Nanfeng's words, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but thinking that time was running out, he agreed and turned around to lead the way without saying anything else.
When Shangguan Nanfeng saw the tragic state of his mother dying, he could no longer bear it and rushed forward to support Concubine Hui.
"Mother, you have suffered." Shangguan Nanfeng's tone was no longer calm and indifferent, but full of regret.
If I hadn't forced my mother to abdicate, would she have ended up in such a state?
"Feng'er, you are finally here." Concubine Hui opened her heavy eyelids, looked at Shangguan Nanfeng in front of her, and smiled lovingly.
"Mother, please come with me. We will go and admit our mistakes to our father. I will take you out of the palace. I will no longer be a prince."
Shangguan Nanfeng was supporting Concubine Hui at this time, and his voice was choked with sobs.
My mother was tied up with four iron chains and forced to stand day and night. It was such a torture for her.
This Jade Concubine was really ruthless.
"Feng'er, what are you talking about? How can you give up? Mother has persisted until now, not just because you say so!"
When Concubine Hui heard Shangguan Nanfeng's words, her tone suddenly became fierce. She glared at Shangguan Nanfeng with a tone full of unwillingness.
"Mother, we have nothing left. Our uncle is dead." Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Concubine Hui, who seemed a little crazy, and tried to wake her up.
"Even if he dies, I still have a way. Feng'er, don't panic. Don't give up."
Concubine Hui was not surprised that her brother had died. Instead, she turned to look at Shangguan Nanfeng. The chains that tied her began to rattle because of her movements.
"Mother, Feng'er begs you to give up." Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Concubine Hui with a complicated expression. He didn't understand what confidence his mother had that made him insist.
When Concubine Hui heard her son's tone, she naturally felt that her son had no fighting spirit at all.
How could this be possible? How could she give up on her son?
Thinking of this, Concubine Hui's crazy expression suddenly eased.
"Feng'er, bring the bowl to me. I want to drink some water." She stared at the broken bowl not far away and motioned Shangguan Nanfeng to come over.
Shangguan Nanfeng followed Concubine Hui's gaze and saw a broken bowl not far away, half filled with water.
Shangguan Nanfeng's heart ached. How could his mother, who was used to a life of luxury, hold on?
Just when Shangguan Nanfeng left Concubine Hui and bent down to take the bowl, there was a sudden sound of violent shaking iron chains coming from Concubine Hui's side.
Shangguan Nanfeng sensed something was wrong, and the moment he turned around, he saw his mother crashing into the wall not far behind him.
Suddenly, blood gushed out from Concubine Hui's forehead.
"Mother!" Shangguan Nanfeng was startled. The broken bowl slipped from his hands and broke into pieces on the ground. He rushed to Concubine Hui and supported her.
"Feng'er, remember this, you still have a chance to turn the tables. You are the emperor's son, and he won't kill you.
Promise me...you go and kill...Shangguan Nanxing. As long as he dies, you will be the emperor's only...bloodline. Unless he...wants to pass the throne to someone outside his family, he can only choose...you.
You are my son, you can't give up, promise me, otherwise I will die with regret! ”
Concubine Hui's previous words were intermittent, but in the last sentence, she roared out with all her strength.
That’s right, this was her plan. She used her own life to force Shangguan Nanfeng to kill Shangguan Nanxing. In this way, the Shangguan family would have only Shangguan Nanfeng as the prince.
In this way, no matter how reluctant the emperor was, he had to pass the throne to Shangguan Nanfeng.
Unless the emperor wants to hand over the territory of Dongyou to another family. If that is the case, since the emperor dares to give away the Shangguan family's territory, if she knew about it in the afterlife, she would also admit defeat with a sincere heart.
However, based on her decades of understanding of the emperor, there is no way the emperor would hand over the country to an outsider.
"Mother, why are you forcing me?" Shangguan Nanfeng covered Concubine Hui's forehead with his hand. Blood flowed out from between his fingers. It was warm and even made Shangguan Nanfeng feel as if his hands were burning.
"My son, you can't lose!" Concubine Hui opened her eyes wide and looked at Shangguan Nanfeng. It was obvious that she wanted an answer.
"Mother, is winning or losing really that important?" Shangguan Nanfeng looked at his dying mother and finally burst into tears.
"Feng'er, after I die, you don't have to worry about anything. I don't want you to worry about anything either. Just pretend that you don't know anything. Only then can you give Shangguan Nanxing a fatal blow."
Concubine Hui was on the verge of death at this time, and her body began to feel light and flutter.
"My son, can't! lose!" Concubine Hui used up her last bit of strength and roared. She just looked at Shangguan Nanfeng, expecting the answer she wanted.
Until there was no breath left.
Shangguan Nanfeng felt that his mother had completely lost her breath. He put Concubine Hui down and left the dead Concubine standing with the iron chain pulling her.
Then he hammered the wall behind him like crazy until his hands were bloody, until the pain in his hands pulled him back to reality from his grief.
"Okay, I promise you." Shangguan Nanfeng stopped going crazy, walked to Concubine Hui, gently closed Concubine Hui's eyes, and spoke in a low voice.
Since his mother asked him not to admit defeat, then he would not admit defeat.
At worst, it’s just a life.
In the palace, the emperor fell into silence for a long time after listening to the secret guard's narration about Concubine Hui threatening Shangguan Nanfeng with death.
No one knows what his plan is.
