Chapter 63 If Mother Doesn't Go, Jiujiu Will Not Go Either
[Mother was worried that my stepfather would lock my brother up, so she refused to tell the truth.]
[Jiujiu is worried too! ]
【What can I do? 】
Are you crazy?
Emperor Zhaoning captured the important words in Jiujiu's thoughts.
He looked at Jiujiu in disbelief, then looked at the Thirteenth Prince not far away.
The Thirteenth Prince was still avoiding the imperial physician's needles, and he was still shouting, "You quacks, quacks, I'm not crazy, I don't need acupuncture..."
Such a long needle.
He looked so scary.
If you are not crazy, you will be scared crazy sooner or later.
Concubine Li wanted to rush forward and cover the Thirteenth Prince's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense again and being locked up, but she was stopped by Emperor Zhaoning.
"Princess Li, Thirteen said he's not crazy? What does that mean?"
"No, it's nothing." Concubine Li felt a little guilty, but she pretended nothing happened. "Your Majesty, don't think too much. There are too many people here and the air is turbid. I will help you go out for tea."
Concubine Li wanted to quickly persuade Emperor Zhaoning to leave this place of trouble.
But Emperor Zhaoning refused to leave. He pointed at the Thirteenth Prince who was surrounded by the imperial doctors and asked, "Is it because the Thirteenth Prince has gone crazy? That's why you called so many imperial doctors, Concubine Li? You don't want to tell me the truth, but are you worried that I will lock the Thirteenth Prince up again?"
Emperor Zhaoning said this and looked at Jiujiu with relief.
If it weren’t for Jiujiu, he really wouldn’t know what Concubine Li was thinking.
Concubine Li had no idea that Emperor Zhaoning knew what Jiujiu was thinking only after listening to her thoughts. She simply thought that Emperor Zhaoning had made the guess based on her cleverness, and her guess was almost correct.
She was not good at lying, so she could only kneel down at the feet of Emperor Zhaoning and beg, "Your Majesty, I beg you, even if Thirteen is crazy, please don't lock him up? As long as you promise me, I will do anything."
"Mother..."
The Thirteenth Prince felt very uncomfortable when he saw Concubine Li pleading for him.
He is really not crazy, mother, there is no need to be like this.
Emperor Zhaoning looked at Concubine Li with a complicated expression and asked inquiringly, "Is anything really possible?"
Although Concubine Li was reluctant, she still nodded: "Okay."
She knew that Emperor Zhaoning had wanted her to sleep with him since he released her, but she was unwilling to do so because she had unresolved issues in her heart.
Now she is willing to do anything for her son.
I don’t think the emperor will refuse.
Emperor Zhaoning understood Concubine Li's intention. He sighed, helped Concubine Li up with heartache, and helped wipe her tears.
"Yiyao, who do you think I am? Thirteen is your son, and he is also my son. You don't want your son to suffer, and neither do I."
"So, you don't need to beg me on your own to protect your son."
"emperor."
After hearing this, Concubine Li felt a little warm in her heart, and the grievance and pain she had suffered when she was banished to the cold palace were also slightly alleviated.
Emperor Zhaoning said again: "Don't worry, since I have already released Thirteen from the Imperial Prison, I will not lock him up again. No matter what the reason is, I will not lock him up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Li finally felt relieved.
The Thirteenth Prince was confused.
Did the emperor really release him?
No intention to kill him?
He, he, he... misunderstood?
But his reputation as a madman was confirmed because of these misunderstandings.
The Thirteenth Prince didn't know whether he should be happy about seeing the light of day again, or sad about being treated as a madman?
He couldn't help crying, and tears fell down.
Jiujiu also started crying.
[Why is Brother Thirteen crying again? Are people so changeable after they go crazy? ]
[When he cried, Jiujiu also wanted to cry. ]
“Wuwuwu…”
"I'm not crazy, not crazy..." the Thirteenth Prince roared.
Concubine Li wanted to step forward to persuade him, but Emperor Zhaoning said, "Yiyao, take Jiujiu out first and comfort her. Don't let her cry. I will come and persuade her."
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Concubine Li was incredulous.
"Yes. Old Thirteen has been wronged for so many years. I should also fulfill my responsibilities as a father."
In fact, he didn't want Li Fei and Jiujiu to stay here and be sad.
"Well, Jiujiu and I will go outside and wait."
Fu'an on the side looked at Emperor Zhaoning in shock.
Oh my god, what did he just hear? The emperor said that he had to fulfill his responsibilities as a father? He also wanted to personally persuade the crazy Thirteenth Prince?
You have to understand that the emperor has many sons, so he is not at all precious to them.
Even if he had to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, the most he could do was to find teachers for the princes and check their homework. There was really no need to do the rest himself.
Because I am too busy to handle all the affairs of the world!
But today, the emperor actually wants to personally persuade the Thirteenth Prince?
And the Thirteenth Prince is like this?
It can be seen that the Emperor really dotes on Concubine Li and the princess, so he loves them as well and treats the Thirteenth Prince with such patience.
They must be careful to serve Concubine Li and the princess in the future!
They are the most promising nobles in the palace.
·
Concubine Li and Jiujiu were waiting in the outer room.
Jiujiu was crying at first, but after she came out and no longer heard the Thirteenth Prince crying, she stopped crying.
Seeing the tears on Jiujiu's face, Concubine Li helped wipe her tears and said, "Jiujiu, your Thirteenth Brother is in this situation now. Mother is worried that you will cry again when you see him, and even more worried that he will go crazy again and hurt you. So, mother wants to send you to mother's mother's home to live for a while. Are you willing?"
"Is mother going?"
Concubine Li wanted to go, but she didn't dare to go.
She shook her head bitterly, "...Forget it!"
Because she was framed and the entire family was implicated, her parents must still be blaming her and definitely don't want to see her.
She really didn't dare go back.
This is also the reason why she never went back even though the emperor had told her long ago that she could go home and visit.
"If mother doesn't go, Jiujiu won't go either!" Jiujiu refused.
"Jiujiu? Be obedient?" Concubine Li raised her eyebrows, a little angry.
Jiujiu puffed up her cheeks and said, "It's no use for mother to be angry. If we want to go back, we should go back together as a family. If we don't want to go back, then no one should go back."
"Jiujiu, why don't you understand mother's painstaking efforts? Mother is worried..."
"Yiyao, Jiujiu is right. If we want to go back, we can go back together. If we don't want to go back, then none of us can go back."
Emperor Zhaoning had already come out after persuading the Thirteenth Prince. The Thirteenth Prince followed behind him and looked a little more normal. He no longer shouted or yelled, and no longer attacked anyone. However, he looked very reserved and afraid of people, and no one knew what they had said.
Emperor Zhaoning said to Concubine Li, "Get ready today. I will accompany you back to your parents' home tomorrow. Take Jiujiu and Shisan with you."
"..." Concubine Li was somewhat reluctant.
Emperor Zhaoning knew what Concubine Li was worried about, and also understood her mother's family's expectation for her to return home, so he wanted to act as a middleman.
He said without allowing any objection: "This is an imperial decree!"
"But the Thirteenth Prince will hurt people at random and it is not easy for him to leave the palace." Concubine Li wanted to use the Thirteenth Prince's madness to avoid going home.
