Chapter 446 Release
Prince Rui's Palace.
After seeing the various things sent by Li De, Zhan Qingheng felt a lump in his throat and felt very upset. He thought that his grandfather would no longer care about him.
Unexpectedly, he immediately sent a gift on the day his child was born.
"Eunuch Li, when you return to the palace, can you tell my father that I want to see him?" Zhan Qingheng said calmly.
"I can deliver it. I will go back to the palace first." Li De said with a smile. He knew that the retired emperor still regarded Prince Rui as his grandson.
"Thank you." Zhan Qingheng said gratefully.
While he was packing the gifts.
Qin Fu brought people to deliver gifts.
After the accident, Zhan Qingheng felt regretful. He wondered if he had always expected too much. If he had lived a low-key life like other princes.
Don't covet the throne.
The Queen Mother will not die.
He wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Prince Rui, the emperor invites you to the palace." Qin Fu had a faint smile on his face.
"Okay." Zhan Qingheng nodded. Li De had just left not long ago, so he shouldn't have been able to see his father so soon. It was his father who took the initiative to ask to see him.
How come he suddenly saw him?
Are they going to raid his house immediately and exile his entire family?
If so, he has no complaints in his heart.
He has already made an agreement with Pang Jingyi.
They stayed away from the capital, never participated in any disputes again, and just lived their ordinary lives.
…
Yangxin Palace.
Zhan Qingheng looked at Emperor Jingming, who was sitting upright and dignified in front of the desk, and said, "I... have seen you, father."
He has not yet been officially demoted to the status of a commoner.
Can he call him father?
Maybe this was the last time he called him.
Emperor Jingming looked at him expressionlessly and asked in a deep voice, "What do you feel now?"
Zhan Qingheng knelt on the ground, "I know I was wrong. I wanted to see you, father. I am willing to accept any punishment. I will not complain."
He has really thought it through now.
But it's no use saying more, he has already made all the mistakes he should have made.
"You really have no complaints?" Emperor Jingming looked at him sharply.
"No." Zhan Qingheng said frankly.
Emperor Jingming pursed his lips, stood up and walked towards him, looking down at him, "You should be thankful that you did not participate in what your mother did."
Otherwise, they will no longer be father and son.
"Mother, she... I have thought about it before, but it was just a thought and I didn't dare to do it." Zhan Qingheng said honestly. At this moment, he didn't want to hide it anymore.
Emperor Jingming's face darkened and he said angrily, "You actually thought about it!"
"I always feel that you are partial to me, father. From childhood to adulthood, you only have eyes for the Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin. No matter what I do, I will never be as good as them."
"I am jealous and secretly want to compete with them and try my best to show myself, but in your eyes, I still can't compare with them."
"Gradually, I began to feel resentment and hatred for you, but after all the hardships, I realized that I am indeed not as good as them."
"I am willing to accept being demoted to a commoner and am also willing to go into exile." Zhan Qingheng looked at him and spoke his true feelings without reservation.
He has really lived like a joke for the past twenty years.
Emperor Jingming sneered, "If your mother hadn't failed, would you have recognized it?"
"Your Majesty is right, father. If mother had not failed this time, I would probably still be dreaming." Zhan Qingheng's face was full of pain.
His awakening was brought about by the death of his mother.
"I will not demote you to a commoner. After your child is one month old, you will go to your fiefdom. From now on, you will never return to the capital without my summons!"
Emperor Jingming said coldly, feeling very disappointed that his friend could not make good use of his power.
He had known for a long time that he loved to make trouble when he had nothing to do.
He should be thankful that he did not conspire with the Queen, otherwise, he would not have the chance to call him father here again today.
Zhan Qingheng raised his head suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, his heart trembling slightly. Wouldn't he demote him to a commoner? And let him go to his fiefdom.
The environment of his fiefdom must be much better than that of the frontier.
manor.
manor.
This was prepared for him by his father when he conferred the title of Prince of Rui on him.
At that time he was still wondering why he had a fiefdom.
It turns out that his end was already determined.
"What? You don't want to?" Emperor Jingming narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Thank you, father. I will fulfill my responsibilities in the future and will never do anything to disappoint you again." Zhan Qingheng knelt down, his eyes blurred with tears.
It turns out that in his father's heart, he is not that bad.
The punishment he received now was the lightest for him. Although he did not participate in his mother's rebellion, she was still his mother.
"I hope you will do what you say. I only give you this chance." Emperor Jingming warned him.
"I will definitely do what I say!" Zhan Qingheng promised.
"Take Zhan Yao with you." Emperor Jingming said in a deep voice. She had been staying in her own palace these days, not crying or making any noise, and was particularly quiet.
"Yes, I will go see her later." Zhan Qingheng said. Since leaving the palace that night, the brother and sister have not met each other.
Emperor Jingming waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Your son will take his leave." Zhan Qingheng stood up and bowed, then looked deeply at Emperor Jingming. He didn't know what would happen after today.
There is no chance for the father and son to meet again.
"Father, take care!" Zhan Qingheng said, turned around and left quickly.
Out of the Yangxin Palace.
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.
Suddenly, he felt a little dazed. He wished so much that the past was just a dream. He would not have met Jiang Zhiyan, and he would not have had other thoughts because of envy.
He would advise his mother not to insist on making him the crown prince.
He would also advise her to let go of her father and be the queen.
Unfortunately, everything is not a dream.
At this moment, he no longer felt any envy or jealousy in his heart, and everything was relieved.
…
Qingyin Palace.
"Royal brother, why are you here? Has the emperor shown mercy? I knew that the emperor would not be so cruel and heartless." Zhan Yao was surprised to see him.
Zhan Qingheng looked at her haggard appearance, and felt distressed. "It's not my father who showed mercy, it's Prince Jin and Princess Jin."
Although my father didn't say it.
But he knew it in his heart.
Jiang Nanjiao was the midwife of Pang Jingyi's birth, and she must have told the Emperor's grandfather and father about it.
Probably what they said.
He will receive the lightest punishment.
Thinking of what he had done in the past, he was filled with guilt and shame.
"How is this possible! It definitely wasn't them. They were the ones who forced my mother to death." Zhan Yao yelled angrily. She always felt like she was dreaming these past few days.
How she hoped it was a dream.
This way the Queen Mother won’t die.
"It wasn't them who killed our mother. We shouldn't have argued about it. Also, our mother didn't set herself on fire. She was murdered by someone who set the fire." Zhan Qingheng said in a cold voice.
He didn't know why the other party was so cruel!
Do you want to kill the Queen Mother to silence her?
What does the Queen Mother know?
Zhan Yao was stunned and asked in shock: "You, what did you say?"
