Chapter 479 The Queen Mother and Son
These words were soothing, and the wife of Marquis Rong'an felt relieved after hearing them.
She smiled and nodded: "Needless to say? She's been in a brothel before, who knows how dirty it is. Who are we to accept her? It's shameful enough."
Concubine Xue was relieved, then sneered angrily, "Dad and Mom didn't agree, so she held a grudge and took crazy revenge? She was smart enough not to target you and Dad, so she only targeted my aunt's family? Humph! Does she think she can force our family to bow to her in this way? Dream on!"
Lady Rong'an: "Who said it wasn't?"
Concubine Xue continued, "Don't worry, mother. I won't let her act so arrogantly. I will take care of this matter! Not only your aunt, but also my cousin will definitely be fine."
Originally, she had to weigh whether to intervene in this matter, but now, even if it was just to suppress Xu Zhichun, she had to intervene.
She wanted to show her that the Rong'an Marquisate was not something she could manipulate just because she wanted to. She wanted her to face reality. How could she dare to fight the Rong'an Marquisate? She was overestimating herself!
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Majesty! This won't have any negative impact on Your Majesty, right?"
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother is here."
Wouldn't it be better to just ask the Empress Dowager for help?
The wife of Marquis Rong'an was completely relieved.
As soon as her mother left, Concubine Xue went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and took the opportunity to cry and ask for her help.
The Queen Mother loved her youngest son, Prince Yuchang, the most and wished that Prince Yuchang would rule the world. However, his rebellion failed and his entire family committed suicide.
The Queen Mother was almost seriously ill. The reason she was still holding on was because Prince Yuchang sent his assassins to risk their lives to deliver his five-year-old son to the Queen Mother.
Now the child whose nickname was Yulang was brought up by the empress dowager herself, living with her in the Cining Palace and sharing everything with her.
The emperor was very angry about this, but the empress dowager threatened to commit suicide, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, the child was only five years old and could not do anything. It was better to raise him in the palace than outside.
Although the nausea is real.
The Queen Mother now seems to be chanting Buddha's name all day long and not caring about anything, but who knows what she is really doing?
At least, she herself knew very well that Concubine Xue was not her savior at all. She just happened to need a concubine of high birth who could be tied to herself in the palace. Concubine Xue was just the right person, so she just went with the flow.
Although Concubine Xue has a good family background, is beautiful and intelligent, the emperor has been lukewarm towards her for a long time since she entered the palace. The emperor's thoughts are still on the queen.
The Queen Mother looked on coldly, and it was hard to tell whether she was disappointed with Concubine Xue or not.
But she is not in a hurry, her Yulang is still young, she still has to raise him up, so everything has to be done slowly, the most important thing is that she wants to live a long life, her body must be in good condition, not get sick
Concubine Xue begged the Queen Mother to save her aunt and cousin. The Queen Mother didn't want to care at first, but when she heard that the other party was the wife of Marquis Wuxuan, she was moved and agreed to it.
Marquis Wuxuan, she hated Marquis Wuxuan, Xie Feng and others so much. If it weren't for them, her beloved child would not have died so tragically.
They forced her child to death, but the emperor refused to punish them. Instead, he gave them high positions and generous salaries. Why?
Even if his son rebelled, so what? He, like the emperor, was a descendant of the previous emperor. He was supposed to have a share of the empire, and if the emperor sat on the throne, so too did he. It was just his fate that made him lose the throne.
Even if he rebelled, it was just to take back what originally belonged to him, and it was just a conflict between him and the emperor.
How big a deal is this?
The emperor defeated him and taught him a lesson. Why did he want to kill him? Why did he let his subordinates take his life?
She hates it so much
She wished Xie Feng, Wuxuan Hou and the others were dead, but the emperor, that unfilial son, refused to agree to even such a small request.
Now that Concubine Xue had given her an opportunity to teach Marquis Wuxuan a lesson, she naturally would not let it go.
The Empress Dowager couldn't even wait until tomorrow, so she ordered someone to invite the Emperor over that day.
The Queen Mother asked the Emperor to issue an edict to pardon Xuepin's aunt and cousin.
"After all, they are relatives, and it's not a big deal. Why is it so serious? The Shuntian Prefecture Governor is too foolish and inflexible in handling this case. Concubine Xue is a timid child. She was so scared that she cried in front of me. I felt really sorry for her. Your Majesty, please send someone to tell the Shuntian Prefecture Governor and let it go."
"Although a country has its own laws and families have their own rules, people should still have some humanity, don't you think? Besides, wasn't it just a fight in the street? In the end, it didn't even happen, but it caused a scene and the person was exiled, which is enough. As for Aunt Bai, her only hope is her only son, and she feels sorry for him suffering. If she did something wrong in the heat of the moment, she should just correct it. After all, it didn't lead to any serious consequences, so there's really no need to hold on to it."
"Let's forgive others when we can."
The emperor was silent.
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, he always had a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain it, but it was just strange.
The Queen Mother seemed to be hinting at something and took the opportunity to criticize him.
Don’t blame him for being so sensitive; the Queen Mother is actually that kind of person.
At least for him.
Seeing the Emperor remained silent, the Empress Dowager's tone hardened. "It's just a small matter, and yet Your Majesty doesn't even give me face? Concubine Xue is also a member of the royal family. If the Rong'an Marquisate loses face, and Concubine Xue is embarrassed, will it be good for the royal family? Why do you always have to target your own people?"
The Queen Mother subconsciously spoke with resentment when she said this. As soon as she said this, she felt angry and regretful.
The air stagnated.
The emperor mocked silently in his heart.
Our own people? What does it mean to be our own people? Being our own people is mutual, not a situation where one side must give in to the other without any limit.
"My Queen Mother hasn't told me yet, whose family is in conflict with the cousins from the Rong'an Marquisate?"
It definitely couldn't be a commoner's family, otherwise the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion would have bullied others by taking advantage of their power long ago. Why would they report it to Concubine Xue and ask the Empress Dowager to intercede for them?
The emperor was quite curious, who was so tough?
The Queen Mother was vague: "Xuepin didn't tell me, so it's not a big deal. No matter whose family it is, they shouldn't kill them all like this. If not the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, then Xuepin and the royal family should be considered."
The Emperor: "In that case, I will remember this matter. I will have someone investigate what happened."
"Your Majesty, do you not believe me?"
"I have to make things clear."
"After all, the Emperor still doesn't believe me!"
"Isn't the Queen Mother also unclear about this? What's wrong with me figuring it out? If I issue an order without knowing the reason, wouldn't I become a tyrant?"
The Queen Mother was furious. "Your Majesty is right. You are such a good emperor. I remember now. It's the Marquis of Wuxuan's Mansion."
"Now that the Emperor knows, can he issue an order?"
