"Ah?" Gu Yunru smiled foolishly and looked at Rong Yinzhi beside him. This guy's heart was probably about to break into two.

"Stop, Ruyan, give me a chance!" Rong Yinzhi chased after her relentlessly, but Rong Zhen stood in front of him like a mountain.

"Miss Ruyan has made it very clear that she is not interested in you. Don't you understand?"

"No, how could she not be interested in me?!" Rong Yinzhi racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He was extremely wealthy, rich enough to rival a country. How could a woman sneer at him? "Aunt Wang... Oh no, Princess, why don't you go and say something good for me!" Rong Yinzhi winked at her attentively. Gu Yunru sighed and said four words, "I can't help you!"

It was already late at night, Rong Yinzhi returned to the palace in a panic, but found that Concubine Duan was not there. He asked the maids around her, and they said that they had not seen Concubine Duan either. Usually, his mother would take these people with her wherever she went, but today, for the first time, she did not take them with her, which made him very confused...

He was about to go to the backyard to look for it. There were several empty rooms there. Usually no one lived there, so they were abandoned. When he passed by these empty rooms, he heard bursts of sounds of men and women having fun coming from inside. There were actually eunuchs and palace maids having an affair here. Rong Yinzhi was furious. He tiptoed, picked up a big stick and stood guard at the door.

He secretly opened the door, and through the gap, he vaguely saw the man and woman who were in collusion, but why did the woman's face look so familiar? Looking closely, wasn't this his mother? She was actually enjoying the pleasure of sex with a man here. His head buzzed, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Ah!" Rong Yinzhi rushed in furiously and shouted, which frightened the man so much that he hid in the quilt and trembled. Concubine Duan was startled and the blush on her face faded, as if someone poured a basin of cold water on her, which made her sober up a lot.

In a panic, Concubine Duan clutched the quilt tightly and looked at him anxiously, "Zhi'er, why are you back?!"

"Okay, mother! Are you doing this to be worthy of our father's spirit in heaven?!" Although Rong Yinzhi was a bastard and a womanizer, he couldn't imagine that his mother would actually betray his father.

"Zhi'er, have you heard from your mother that things are not what you imagined?"

Concubine Duan was extremely frightened and begged for mercy in a hurry. Her face turned pale and she looked at Rong Yinzhi with tears in her eyes. Rong Yinzhi clenched his fists angrily and threw the stick in his hand to the ground angrily.

When the two of them put on their clothes and went to the hall, Rong Yinzhi looked the man up and down. He saw that he had his hat brim pulled down very low and his rough figure looked somewhat familiar. He walked up to him and told him to raise his head. He didn't expect that it was the Left Prime Minister.

"Why is it you, the Left Prime Minister?"

Concubine Duan hurried forward to rescue him, but Rong Yinzhi gave her a sidelong glance, which frightened Concubine Duan so much that her heart started pounding. She dared not speak any more to defend him.

"Zhi'er..." As soon as the left prime minister called him Zhi'er, he received a hateful look from him, "Call me the eldest prince!"

"Yes, it's the eldest prince..."

The two men stood before him grovelling, both with their heads lowered guiltily.

"Tell me what's going on. When did you two get together?" Rong Yinzhi wanted to find out how long these two had been together behind his back. Concubine Duan knew she was in the wrong, and when she saw that she could no longer hide the matter, she sighed.

"Zhi'er, in fact, before mother entered the palace, she and the Prime Minister..."

Before he finished speaking, Rong Yinzhi was like a lion with its fur standing on end, glaring at the two of them fiercely with a look of disgust on his face.

"Okay. Could it be that you had already been in cahoots with the Prime Minister before you were sent to the palace by the Hu family? What about me? I'm not the product of your secret pregnancy!" Rong Yinzhi was so angry that his brows were furious, and he had long thrown reason out of his mind.

"Zhi'er, mother didn't mean to hide it from you. Mother just doesn't want you to be criticized. In fact, mother has been living a very empty life all these years. Can you understand mother?" Concubine Duan was frightened. Before she could step forward, she was pushed aside by him. The Left Prime Minister subconsciously supported her. Seeing the interaction between the two, Rong Yinzhi felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

"Zhi'er, she is your biological mother, you can't treat her like this!" The Left Prime Minister blurted out these words without considering the consequences. Rong Yinzhi directly and viciously drew out his sword and put it on his neck. Concubine Duan was so scared that she wanted to kneel in front of him.

"Don't... Zhi'er..." Concubine Duan said to him in a pleading tone. She had never been so servile to anyone in her life, but she didn't expect that the one begging her today would be her own son.

"I will kill him today. Either he or I will die. Mother, make a choice!"

There was murderous intent in Rong Yinzhi's eyes. Concubine Duan knew that her son was not joking this time. She pulled his arm and begged, "You can't kill him. He is your biological father." As soon as these words fell, it was like a bolt from the blue, ringing in Rong's mind, and he slowly put down the hilt of the sword in his hand.

The left prime minister and Concubine Duan held hands tightly. It was obvious that their relationship was not established overnight. Rong Yinzhi turned around silently and sighed. The left prime minister knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "My lord, please turn a blind eye to today's matter. When you ascend the throne, I will leave it to you to deal with me!"

"Oh! Are you sure you can help this prince to ascend the throne?" Rong Yinzhi was very interested in this topic. He turned his head silently and looked at him with his eyes narrowed.

"Yes. What the eldest prince doesn't know is that I have already made friends with the ministers of the six ministries. The ministers all said that the eldest prince is the best candidate for the emperor. If I were in the court, I'm sure they would stand on the side of the eldest prince!"

After hearing the guarantee from the Left Prime Minister, Rong Yinzhi felt relieved.

"Very good, very good, you go down first, and don't come to the palace again unless necessary!" Rong Yinzhi waved his hand, not hiding the disgust on his face at all. After everyone left, he looked at his mother's decadent and embarrassed appearance, and thought that the gentle, dignified and noble mother in his daily life was no longer there.

"Hurry up and wash up, the flower banquet is about to begin, I don't want you to embarrass me!"

Concubine Duan watched as the hope in his eyes turned into sadness.
