"That's right. The Qin family is a century-old family and has really produced several genuine national masters," Zhong Zhiheng nodded, pulling Concubine Hui to lie down together, and sighed, "It is also because of Qin Lu's careful care that you can get pregnant with this baby, but... Sigh! Let's not talk about it. After all, you are the one who has been wronged."
Concubine Hui's face froze. She snuggled into Zhong Zhiheng's arms and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty has made the decision for me. I don't feel wronged."
"I just like you to be so sensible," Zhong Zhiheng was very satisfied. He patted Hui Fei's fair and delicate face and said with a smile, "Now that you are well, let's have another prince."
"Yes, I will definitely give birth to a healthy prince for His Majesty," Concubine Hui smiled softly, and then she lay down beside Zhong Zhiheng obediently, massaging his back and waist, and said casually, "But I have to trouble Dean Qin again. Last time, Dean Qin racked his brains for my body, and I have always felt ashamed."
"What do you have to be ashamed of? He is a servant, and it is his honor to be able to serve his master." Zhong Zhiheng narrowed his eyes and spoke with sleepiness in his tone, "If he is not even of any use, then there is no need for him to stay in this world."
"Your Majesty is right," Hui Fei agreed, paused, and then continued, "But that Doctor Qin is capable and good-natured. When the Queen Mother was ill, I would always meet Doctor Qin whenever I went to pay my respects to her. Doctor Qin's medical skills and character are really impeccable. Later, when the Queen Mother's condition worsened and she became a little confused, she scolded Doctor Qin for being indecisive, but Doctor Qin just endured it and never dared to refute a word. I felt sorry for Doctor Qin."
"The Queen Mother scolded Qin Lu for being two-faced?" Zhong Zhiheng opened his tightly closed eyes slightly and squinted at Concubine Hui, "Do you know why the Queen Mother scolded Qin Lu like that?"
"How would I know? The Queen Mother is probably confused because of illness. Court Chief Qin served the Queen Mother loyally all his life. He was the one who stayed by her side until her death. He did his best, but was scolded by the Queen Mother. Sigh!" Concubine Hui tilted her head and sighed as she thought about it. "The Queen Mother was strong all her life, but she became a little confused in her later years. It's really sad to think about it."
Zhong Zhiheng said nothing more. He closed his eyes again and let Concubine Hui massage his back, but he was no longer sleepy. He kept thinking about the pitiful appearance of the Queen Mother when she was dying...
It seemed that before he arrived, there were only the empress dowager and Qin Lu in the bedroom. What did Qin Lu say to the empress dowager that made such a strong-willed empress dowager, on her deathbed, beg him so humbly to treat Mingwei well? The empress dowager had never mentioned Zhong Mingwei again since the news from Ningguta that Zhong Mingwei was completely disabled. It was not that the empress dowager was cold-hearted, but she was in that position. Whether it was for the sake of the Xu family or because she was afraid that Zhong Zhiheng would be suspicious, she could only choose to give up Zhong Mingwei, completely.
But before she died, the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned Zhong Mingwei, and she only mentioned Zhong Mingwei from beginning to end. This was something Zhong Zhiheng had not expected. He thought that the Queen Mother would plead for the Xu family before she died. She should know the weight of her last words. No matter how much Zhong Zhiheng disliked the Xu family, he must have weighed the Queen Mother's last words in his heart. However, the Queen Mother did not mention the Xu family at all. From beginning to end, she only talked about Zhong Mingwei, saying how pitiful he was...
Why is this?
Unless, she knew something, and learned something about Zhong Mingwei from Qin Lu.
Suddenly, Zhong Zhiheng clenched his hands.
