Chapter 121 What’s the Use of Liking Someone?
The Queen Mother walked in dressed in palace attire, surrounded by people.
Seeing this, Jingtan and Yunshu hurried forward to support Jiang Xianhao and went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
Jiang Xianhao stood in front of the empress dowager and saluted politely.
The Queen Mother hasn't seen Jiang Xianhao for a long time.
She didn't have many rules to begin with, and she was never asked to pay her respects.
Jiang Xianhao used the excuse of poor health, and the frequency of paying his respects gradually increased from once a month to once a year.
Over the years, Jiang Xianhao has trapped himself in this yard, never going out or interacting with others, and has lived his life as if he had been banished to the cold palace.
And now, she lowered her eyes and looked at Jiang Xianhao's face.
I couldn't help but sigh that time has left no trace on this beautiful woman.
Both her appearance and the temperament in her gestures are exactly the same as before.
Seeing Jiang Xianhao like this, the Queen Mother was certain that as long as she was willing.
We can definitely save the current situation.
The Queen Mother sat down on the main seat in Jingyu Palace, looked at Jiang Xianhao who was lowering his brows and looking pleasing in front of her, and ordered everyone present to leave before she spoke slowly.
"Tsurukawa is pregnant, did you know?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xianhao slowly raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother in surprise.
“You are Tsurukawa’s mother after all.
I have thought about this for a long time and I still feel that I should tell you."
"Five years ago, he was injured in a border battle and was rescued by a woman. Later, the woman disappeared. He Chuan couldn't find her and was very upset.
But unexpectedly, the woman turned out to be Gu Jingchun, the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion who had been living away from home. After she was found this time, she also brought back a four-year-old child.
This child is Tsurukawa's child."
The Queen Mother paused here, carefully observing Jiang Xianhao's expression before continuing.
"However, Hechuan is in a difficult situation right now. For the safety of the child, I do not intend to reveal his identity."
"However, His Majesty has arranged a marriage between Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian, and the wedding will take place in three days."
The Queen Mother sighed softly as she spoke.
"As for Hechuan, he may appear gentle, but he's actually quite stubborn. If the day of our marriage comes, I'm afraid he'll do something to disobey the imperial decree."
Hearing this, Jiang Xian seemed to laugh at himself.
"My lady, what's the point of you telling me this?"
"Do you think that I can change these things with my current situation?"
The Queen Mother's gaze couldn't help but fall on Jiang Xianhao.
“You can’t know whether you can change it until you try.”
The Queen Mother sighed, as if she was thinking of the past.
"Jiang, you are still too stubborn. If you had been more willing to be more patient back then..."
"Empress Dowager..."
Jiang Xianhao suddenly raised his voice, interrupting the Queen Mother's words. A glimmer of light instantly burst out from his calm eyes, piercing straight at the Queen Mother.
"Your Highness, what happened back then is in the past. I don't want to recall it."
Her expression was cold and her words were chilling.
It looks just like Shen Hechuan when he’s angry.
"Jiang family!"
The Queen Mother also raised her voice.
"Don't forget, you are the queen of Dacheng!"
"The mother of the current crown prince!"
"Since you've been in this position for a day, you have your responsibilities!"
"You should stand up and do everything you can to protect yourself and your children, instead of hiding in this little corner, worrying about it and wasting your life."
The Queen Mother hated her for not fighting back, and her voice became louder.
"Go out and take a look now."
"The mother and son of Concubine Hui have pushed Hechuan to such an extreme!"
"He is the crown prince of Dacheng!"
"A crown prince who possesses both talent and virtue, is wise and virtuous, and is beloved by all officials. However, because he was repeatedly framed by Concubine Hui and her son, he became suspicious of his own father, the Emperor."
"But you?"
"Yet she hid in the deep palace, grieving in secret, doing nothing, and watched helplessly as Hechuan was wronged by the emperor's influence."
The Queen Mother spoke very quickly, and when she got excited, she knocked the ground with the cane in her hand, making a "dong dong" sound, trying to wake up Jiang Xianhao who was trying to play dead.
But Jiang Xianhao kept his head down and remained silent.
After a long while, she slowly raised her eyes, tears welling in her eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Empress Dowager, my fate with His Majesty ended more than ten years ago."
"Now, His Majesty hates me so much, even if I leave, what can I do?"
"Perhaps, because of me, His Majesty will dislike the Crown Prince even more."
She spoke, tears welling in her eyes as she slowly uttered the last words.
“The prince…doesn’t have a good mother.
I can barely protect myself, how can I possibly protect him?"
Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed again.
That’s all!
After all, Chen Hechuan has the same personality as Jiang Xianhao.
Whatever they believe in will never change.
If not, how could she have moved to this remote Jingyu Palace without saying a word?
"Having said this, I will not say any more. Your son's future is in your hands. Think carefully about what to do."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she said no more, stood up and left.
After the Queen Mother left.
Jiang Xianhao sat there for a long time before standing up and returning to the pavilion.
She looked at the piano in front of her, raised her fingers, but they stayed above the strings for a long time without falling.
After a while, she withdrew her hand and gave instructions to Jingtan behind her.
"Jingtan, go get me a charcoal brazier."
Charcoal basin?
Jingtan was confused, but still obediently took one.
Jiang Xianhao picked up the piano, touched it lovingly in his hands, and then slowly placed it into the brazier.
Jingtan, who was behind him, was startled and quickly spoke up to stop him.
"My Lady, My Lady, why did you burn the zither? Isn't this your favorite?"
Jiang Xianhao slowly closed his eyes and spoke in a calm voice.
"What's the point of liking it?"
"Since it's no longer useful, there's no need to keep it."
After saying that, she slowly stood up.
"Go check what happened to the prince recently."
"yes."
Jingtan hadn't seen Jiang Xianhao look so stern for a long time. He nodded respectfully and hurried to make arrangements.
After Jiang Xianhao finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Behind her, the harp was quickly engulfed by the flames and gradually turned into ashes.
The news that the Empress Dowager went to Jingyu Palace soon reached the ears of Emperor Rongcheng.
"How long has the Queen Mother been in the Queen's Palace?"
Dexi lowered his head and replied, "About half an hour."
Dexi said and reminded: "I also heard that when the Queen Mother came out, her face was not very good."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng couldn't help but snort.
