That can’t be enough. The Seventh Prince came to the palace today just to visit Concubine Xian. How could he have made her angry?
Thinking about Yu Zhen's ability to cause trouble, Emperor Jingming became unsure again.
He knew that the relationship between mother and son was not very good, and it was possible that the seventh brother had said something that angered Concubine Xian.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingming stood up and said to Han Ran, "Commander Han, please wait a moment."
Of course Han didn't dare to say anything, and he wasn't even curious.
Curiosity kills! As one of the people who knew that the emperor was cuckolded by the deposed prince, he was worried all day and never slept well, fearing that the emperor would kill him one day if he was unhappy.
He didn't want to know anything about the royal family.
Emperor Jingming was driving to Yuquan Palace. For some reason, the white cat, which usually ignored the emperor, jumped onto the sedan chair and followed to join in the fun.
Yuquan Palace is indeed very lively.
The imperial physician arrived before Emperor Jingming and concluded that Concubine Xian was extremely angry.
The palace servants were busy feeding water, patting the emperor's back, and bringing him soft towels, until the shout of "The Emperor has arrived" rang out, and everything seemed to be frozen in an instant, and there was a moment of silence.
Emperor Jingming walked in, looked around, and looked at Concubine Xian.
Compared to the pale and haggard woman I saw this morning, Concubine Xian’s face was dark blue at this moment and she looked even worse.
He shifted his gaze to the side and looked at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin hurriedly saluted Emperor Jingming and said, "Your son has seen your father."
"What's going on?" Emperor Jingming asked with a stern face.
Was Concubine Xian really angry with Prince Seven?
How stupid must the Seventh Prince be to make his biological mother so angry in front of so many palace ladies?
Yu Jin lowered his eyes, looking ashamed: "It's all my son's fault. I should have come to visit the queen yesterday, but I was too busy to come until today, which made the queen angry..."
Concubine Xian, who had recovered from her shock, sneered at the words, "You're pretending to be a filial son now that the emperor is here? Why did you delay it until today because of your busy schedule? It was obviously because the emperor reminded you that you remembered that there was a Yuquan Palace!"
"I didn’t--"
Concubine Xian's voice became even colder and a little sharp: "No? You still don't admit it in front of the emperor, which shows that lying is commonplace for you——"
After hearing this curse, Concubine Xian suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Emperor Jingming.
Emperor Jingming looked a little strange, and said helplessly: "I just said it."
Concubine Xian: “…”
Emperor Jingming's face straightened: "My beloved concubine may have misunderstood. The seventh prince came to the palace today to ask for an audience with you, not because of anything I said to him after leaving Yuquan Palace."
He also wanted to say something and scold his son, but the little bastard didn't give him the chance.
Concubine Xian looked incredulous.
Emperor Jingming was even more helpless: "My beloved concubine, do you think I can deceive you?"
"I dare not." Concubine Xian's face turned red and white, as colorful as a palette.
Didn’t the Seventh Brother come to Yuquan Palace because the Emperor reminded him?
She couldn't help but look at Yu Jin, and at this moment, Yu Jin looked over at her.
The two of them looked at each other, and Concubine Xian saw a hint of ridicule in the other's eyes.
All of Concubine Xian's embarrassment turned into anger. She pointed at Yu Jin and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what this unfilial son said?"
"What did you say?" Emperor Jingming was a little surprised by Concubine Xian's condition at this moment.
In his impression, Concubine Xian has always been dignified and steady. He has never even heard her raise her voice. But now it seems that she is developing into a promiscuous woman.
Concubine Xian seemed to sense Emperor Jingming's surprise, so she calmed down and said coldly, "He said that he has no mother-son relationship with me and he will never regard me as his biological mother from now on!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Yu Jian in shock.
Emperor Jingming was no exception. He stared at Yu Jin and asked, "Seventh Brother, did you say that?"
Yu Jin lifted his skirt and knelt on one knee: "My son never said that."
Concubine Xian's eyes widened a little, and she looked at Yu Jin in disbelief: "You idiot, you still don't admit it at this point?"
Yu Jin looked at Concubine Xian in surprise, and wondered what right did he have to admit it, he was not stupid.
Kneeling on the cold floor tiles, Yu Jin stared at his reflection with his eyes downcast, his voice as calm as water: "Father, I did displease Your Majesty today, but how could I say such a treasonous thing? I am not crazy."
Emperor Jingming nodded.
That’s right, Lao Qi is quite smart. Even if he really thought so in his heart, he wouldn’t say it out loud, right?
Seeing that Emperor Jingming actually nodded, Concubine Xian was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She said with trembling lips: "Your Majesty, this evil creature is lying. I have followed you for so many years, am I the kind of person who talks nonsense?"
Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
It's not that Concubine Xian was talking nonsense, but just now she still thought that it was he who reminded the Seventh Prince, which shows that there might be a misunderstanding between mother and son.
Women are petty and prone to misunderstanding things. He knew this because there were many women in the harem.
Although Emperor Jingming thought so, the fact that Concubine Xian accused her son in public was still a serious matter.
The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety, and the royal family should set an example. He could not just ignore it.
Emperor Jingming once again cast his gaze towards Yu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said unhappily, "Seventh Brother, what on earth did you do today to make your mother so angry?"
When Concubine Xian heard this, she felt that it was not right and sneered, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. The Prince of Yan does not recognize me as his mother."
At this time, Yu Jin raised his head, with a bit of grievance on his face, and his eyes were as pure as spring water: "Father, I really didn't say that. If you don't believe me, ask these palace maids."
Emperor Jingming looked stern and looked around: "Who among you heard what the King of Yan said?"
All the palace ladies knelt down immediately and looked at each other.
Emperor Jingming frowned deeply when he saw this.
Pan Hai shouted, "Are you all deaf? The Emperor is asking you a question!"
A palace maid trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I...I didn't hear it..."
Then several more admitted that they had not heard it.
Emperor Jingming looked at Concubine Xian.
At this moment, Concubine Xian's lips were trembling and she was almost unable to speak.
By this time, she had already deeply felt the cunning and malice of that evil boy.
"The Prince of Yan pretended to have something to do and asked me to send all the palace people out. He said that when we were alone." Concubine Xian suppressed her anger and raised her voice slightly, "Your Majesty, could I have fabricated something and slandered my own son?"
Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin hesitantly.
Yu Jin looked hurt, and said calmly, "My son did have something to say to the queen in private. I was deeply moved by what happened to my uncle this time, and I wanted to have a good talk with the queen, but I didn't expect... Forget it, whatever the queen said is what it is, and I plead guilty."
Anyway, they were the only two people talking at the time. It didn't matter who said what. What mattered was who the emperor believed.
Isn't it obvious who to trust between the angry and frustrated concubine and the aggrieved son?
