Looking at that handsome face with a gentle smile, Concubine Xian thought she had heard wrongly: "What did you say?"

Yu Jin's voice became gentler, but her eyes were completely frozen. She paused for a moment and said, "I say, Your Majesty is so self-indulgent that you actually think there is still a mother-son relationship between us?"

"You, say it again!" Concubine Xian pointed at Yu Jin, as if she had heard the most incredible words.

No wonder Concubine Xian was shocked.

The mother-son relationship was weak, and this was actually something both parties knew very well, but she never expected Yu Jin to point it out.

The Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. Even if she had a thousand faults, the fact that she was the biological mother of the seventh child was enough to overwhelm everything. Moreover, she actually had no faults to speak of, and it was not her intention to take the seventh child out of the palace.

If she often secretly contacted and cared for a prince who was taken out of the palace because he obstructed the emperor, it would be disrespectful to the emperor. If the seventh brother used this as an excuse, no one would speak for him.

In Concubine Xian's opinion, Yu Jian was either crazy or stupid to say such crazy words.

The sound of soft laughter was as sweet as the sound of gurgling spring water.

"No matter how many times I say it, it's the same. There is no mother-son relationship between me and Concubine Xian. If I was grateful for having half of your blood in my body and wanted to save some face for you, that affection is gone when you attacked my wife."

Concubine Xian was horrified: "What do you mean by action? Don't talk nonsense!"

Yu Jin had a mocking expression on her face: "I haven't said anything yet, why are you so angry, Madam?"

At this time, Concubine Xian's heart was in turmoil.

What did the Seventh Old Man mean by this? Did he know that it was she who planned the danger that Jiang encountered when she went to Baiyun Temple to burn incense?

No, Jiang knew nothing about this, so how did the seventh brother know about it?

But soon Concubine Xian was startled, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart: Maybe Jiang had guessed it?

If Jiang had guessed it, it wouldn't be surprising if she waited for the seventh brother to come back and gossip about it.

Thinking about Jiang Si, who might have guessed the truth but remained calm, Concubine Xian suddenly felt uneasy and felt like she had gotten to know him all over again.

She was careless. Jiang and Li went to burn incense together, and the schemer almost lost his life, while the one being schemed was safe and sound. How could the other party be a simple person?

It is certain that that bastard Jiang has doubts about her.

"Seventh Brother, is this how you are as a son? Just because a woman instigates you, you don't even recognize your own mother?"

Yu Jin sneered: "Your Majesty is already half buried in the ground. You dare to do it but not to take responsibility. Don't you feel embarrassed at your age?"

Concubine Xian's face suddenly turned ashen, and she pointed at Yu Jin and cursed: "You evil son——"

Yu Jin gently pushed away Concubine Xian's fingers: "Do you think I'm a coward who swallows my anger when being plotted against? Or do you think that because you gave birth to me, you can do whatever you want with a smug face? I'm not used to pretending, so today I'll make it clear to you, don't act so arrogant in front of me in the future. Those who dare to act like this in front of me, I'll pluck out all the feathers on their bodies."

At this point, Yu Jin stood up, looked down at Concubine Xian who was sitting on the beauty couch, and said softly, "And you will not be the exception."

Before the age of twelve, Yu Jin was basically in a state of wild growth. Of course, there were teachers to teach him, but no one wanted to get close to the emperor's children. It was very easy for adults to be cold and distant to a child without showing it, and it was even hard to find fault with them. After the age of twelve, Yu Jin spent the few years on the battlefield, and it was also during these years that he quickly became strong and learned to protect himself.

The experiences of his childhood and youth made Yu Jian incompatible with the world. What he said to Concubine Xian might sound unorthodox to the world, but to him it was absolutely sincere.

After finishing speaking, Yu Jin was also relieved. He smiled and clasped his fists towards Concubine Xian, and raised his voice slightly: "Since your majesty is not feeling well, you must take good care of yourself so as not to worry those who care about you."

Seeing Yu Jin turning around and leaving with a smile, Concubine Xian felt her blood boiling and her voice unconsciously got louder: "You beast, stop right there—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he staggered and fell down.

The palace maids outside who heard the noise rushed in, but the one who moved faster than them was Yu Jin.

When the trusted nanny rushed in, she saw Yu Jin holding Concubine Xian with one hand and patting her back with the other, and she said in a panic, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"You, you——" Concubine Xian didn't expect Yu Jin to change so quickly and so naturally. She was so angry that she trembled all over and couldn't speak.

The trusted nanny stepped forward and took over Yu Jin's work: "My Lord, let this servant do it."

Seeing that Concubine Xian was so angry, Yu Jin was in no hurry to leave. He stood aside and said with concern, "I know that your majesty is irritating me, but it's not worth it to get hurt by being angry. Don't you think so?"

When Concubine Xian saw that Yu Jin not only refused to leave but also continued to provoke her, she became so angry that she rolled her eyes.

The trusted nanny was terrified and ordered the maidservant urgently: "What are you still standing there for? Go get the imperial physician!"

The words of the trusted nanny made Concubine Xian regain her voice, and she said intermittently: "Please...please ask the emperor to come..."

"Your Majesty..." The trusted nanny hesitated and opened her mouth to persuade her.

We invited the Emperor yesterday, and now we invite him again. Isn’t this too frequent?

"Go!" Concubine Xian was shaking all over, her face looked extremely ugly, and she felt like she was going to die at any moment.

The trusted nanny did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly sent someone to report to Emperor Jingming.

The rage in Concubine Xian's chest was rising, making it hard for her to breathe. She could only stare at Yu Jin to express her anger.

This evil son, when the emperor comes, she will definitely sue him for being disobedient and unfilial!

There was a worried look on Yu Jin's face, but his eyes were calm as water.

Complain to the emperor? Haha, he's waiting.

The people from Yuquan Palace hurried to Yangxin Palace, and at this time, Jinlin Guard Commander Han Ran had just entered the palace and was discussing matters inside.

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between the emperor and his ministers inside.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai unhappily.

Pan Hai was somewhat impressed by Yuquan Palace's courage and said, "Your Majesty, someone from Yuquan Palace asked you to come over, saying that Concubine Xian is not feeling well—"

"Not well?" Emperor Jingming was stunned. "I saw him yesterday and he was fine. How come he is not well now?"

"They said they had already called in the imperial physician, but Concubine Xian looked very ill, so we did not dare to delay in reporting this."

"You have a headache again?" Emperor Jingming had just talked with Han Ran for a while and didn't want to be interrupted at this time, so he asked Pan Hai to call the people from Yuquan Palace in for questioning.

The person who brought the news was a eunuch.

"What happened to your queen?"

The eunuch lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty seems to be angry with the King of Yan..."

Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Yu Jin should be in Yuquan Palace at this time.

Did the Seventh Prince make Concubine Xian sick?
