A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1441 Black Pot, Your Tears Are Too Cheap
The royal children are very close to that position. Just one step forward and they can sleep on the lap of a beauty when drunk and hold power over the world when awake.
In the eyes of the eldest princess, there is no royal descendant who is not tempted by that position, but Xiling Tianyu is an exception.
He was tempted, but he never thought that one day he would force his father to abdicate, or kill his father to take the throne. As the Ninth Uncle said, he was not cruel enough, nor was he heartless enough.
Xiling Tianyu glanced at the eldest princess and walked towards the inner hall.
He didn't expect, no longer expected this royal family to have any warmth.
"Mother." Xiling Tianyu said politely, without the warmth and expectation of the past.
Queen Xiling frowned, suppressed her uneasiness, and said softly, "It's really a shame that you don't have any children. You didn't come to see the Queen Mother until she called you. Tell me how long it has been since you came to pay your respects to the Queen Mother."
"I am busy with official duties, please forgive me, mother." He lowered his head, unwilling to look at that hypocritical smiling face.
"Forget it, forget it. Mother knows that you are busy, Yu'er, but no matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health." Queen Xiling showed her motherly love generously, but it was a pity that Xiling Tianyu was already past the age where he needed his mother's care.
After talking for a long time, it was still some useless words of concern. Xiling Tianyu ran out of patience and said directly: "Mother, I still have official business to attend to. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw first and come to pay my respects to you another day when I have time."
"You really don't have a child... Since you are busy with official duties, I won't bother you. But no matter how busy you are, you must take good care of yourself and don't let me worry."
The Queen had a warm look on her face. Seeing that Xiling Tianyu did not reject her, she changed the subject and said, "Tianyu, your royal aunt has many capable people at her disposal. If you are too busy, you can ask your royal aunt to lend you people. You should also ask your royal aunt more often when you encounter problems. Your royal aunt has been helping the emperor deal with government affairs for a long time. Even the emperor praised her for her insights in government affairs. It is always right to ask your royal aunt more often when you encounter problems. We are all family. Your royal aunt is doing this for your own good."
Queen Xiling always had a serene smile on her face, as if she was always thinking about her son, but Xiling Tianyu almost vomited after hearing that.
"Mother, am I really your biological son?" Even the one I adopted is better than him.
The smile on the queen's face froze, and she said coldly: "How can you talk like that, kid? If you were not my son, how could you be in your current position?"
The Queen was telling Xiling Tianyu that the reason why Xiling Tianyu was where he is today was because he crawled out of the Queen's belly and was the legitimate son of the Empress.
If it weren’t for his status as the Empress’ legitimate son, Xiling Tianyu would have lost the capital to compete.
"My current position... Mother, I will repay you with a pair of legs, isn't that enough?" Xiling Tianyu smiled sadly, with a cold look in his eyes.
Everything he has now was obtained with the help of the Ninth Uncle of Dongling, not by his mother, the Queen, who extinguished the last remaining hope of Xiling Tianyu.
The queen's eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look Xiling Tianyu in the eye, she just mumbled: "Yu'er's leg is healed, isn't it?"
"Mother, I can only walk now but I am not fully recovered. I can never get my lost legs back. Even if I can walk, it cannot change the fact that I am disabled." He is the only prince in Xiling, but it is still difficult for him to become the crown prince because the people of the eldest princess's lineage are making a fuss about his legs.
Xiling Tianyu saw the Queen's angry face, and he didn't think he was wrong at all. Tears fell silently: "Because I can walk, you forget that I have been sitting in a wheelchair for the first half of my life and was laughed at by others. So you can ask me to do things according to your wishes and do everything for you. Mother, what qualifications do you have to ask me to do this?"
At the end, Xiling Tianyu burst into tears.
The Queen of Xiling turned pale and blue, her whole body trembling. She pointed at Xiling Tianyu and scolded him, "You unfilial son, how dare you speak to your mother like this? You deserve your mother's hard work in raising you. You deserve..."
"Mother, please stop talking. You're making fun of me." Xiling Tianyu wiped the tears off his face. It was not worth it to cry for this woman. "Mother, I'll take my leave."
"Wait." Queen Xiling was anxious. Only then did she realize that Xiling Tianyu had grown up and was no longer the boy who allowed herself to be manipulated by her.
"Yu'er..." Queen Xiling immediately put away her tough offensive, tears falling before she spoke: "Yu'er, it was mother's fault. Mother will definitely treat you better in the future. Just listen to mother this time and let your aunt go. Mother promises that your aunt will only help you and won't harm you."
"Mother's promise is nothing in the eyes of this son." At this time, Xiling Tianyu's body was covered with thorns. Only in this way could he protect himself from getting hurt.
"Yu'er, your mother is begging you, is that not enough?" Queen Xiling cried very sadly. Xiling Tianyu was also very uncomfortable. His mother was kind to him, but it was conditional. It was really ridiculous.
Xiling Tianyu looked at the queen sarcastically: "Mother, your tears are too cheap in the eyes of this son. It is useless for you to cry in front of this son."
"Mother, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, the imperial aunt won't have the chance to tell anyone. You can be at ease as your queen and enjoy your wealth forever. If there is nothing else, it is better for us mother and son not to meet again in the future." Xiling Tianyu left without looking back after saying this.
The queen stared at Xiling Tianyu leaving in a daze. It took her a long time to react. She threw herself on the chair and cried loudly, "Why am I doing this? What on earth am I doing all my life for? My parents don't care about me, my son doesn't love me, and my husband doesn't love me. My life is just a joke."
…
The Ninth Prince's move turned the four kingdoms and nine cities upside down, and all forces were in a state of confusion. However, the culprit, the Ninth Prince, was staying in the study with Feng Qingchen, painting leisurely.
Of course, the one who was drawing was the Ninth Prince. Feng Qingchen didn't have that talent, so the only thing she could do was sit there and let the Ninth Prince draw.
"It's almost the end of the year. Aren't you afraid that those people will cause trouble to you if you make such a fuss?" They sat there for an hour. Feng Qingchen couldn't just sit there idle, so the two of them started chatting about this and that.
"Why are you looking for trouble with me? I didn't do anything." The Ninth Prince didn't even raise his head, nor did he stop writing. Feng Qingchen's figure had already appeared on the paper, with only some subtle details to be refined.
He is indeed shameless and black-hearted. The Ninth Prince can say such shameless words. I really admire him. Feng Qingchen secretly praised in his heart.
"Except for Nanling and Beiling, other places may not be able to survive for years." The worst hit were Xuanyue Palace and Xiling, and Liancheng also suffered heavy losses.
"Yes." The Ninth Prince responded, expressing his agreement.
He personally finalized the plan, so of course he knew what impact it would have. Judging from the feedback he received so far, everything was pretty much as he expected.
"Are you really not worried at all?" Feng Qingchen was really puzzled. This was a matter that would incur public outrage. If these people joined forces, even if the Ninth Prince had extraordinary abilities, he would still suffer a great loss.
"I don't need to worry. No matter how chaotic the world is, it has nothing to do with me." The Ninth Prince put down his paintbrush, took a closer look, and made sure everything was perfect. He nodded with satisfaction and waited for the ink to dry.
"You're lying. It was obviously you who did it." He really thought she didn't know. Really...
"It is true that I succeeded, but that does not mean I have to take responsibility. There is one thing you have not understood, Qingchen." The Ninth Prince said in an unfathomable way...
