Chapter 139 The Truth
Therefore, not only the Emperor, but even Concubine Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had once instructed him to keep an eye on the Fourth Prince and not let him get too close to the Yonghe Palace.
After all, it was impossible for the masters to keep an eye on them all the time, and only Su Peisheng could do the job. Therefore, Su Peisheng was secretly delighted for a long time. After all, the masters were willing to give him instructions because they trusted him.
Although he didn't understand, he kept it in mind because he believed that none of the masters would harm the Fourth Prince.
But who would have thought that it would happen today? He was driven away by the Fourth Prince, which gave the people in Yonghe Palace an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The Yonghe Palace is really annoying!
After Su Peisheng finished complaining, he had another headache. What should he do? At this moment, Yonghe Palace was like a dragon pond and a tiger cave in his eyes. How should he rescue the fourth prince?
By the way, let’s go find Concubine Jin!
Concubine Jin will definitely be able to save him!
Su Peisheng hurriedly ran to Yongshou Palace.
It’s a pity that one is in the East Six Palaces and the other is in the West Six Palaces, and it takes time to go back and forth.
Hopefully it’s not too late.
After passing through the corridor, Jinzhu took Yinzhen into the back hall.
Jinzhu led the way in front, and Yinzhen followed not far behind.
"Jinzhu?" It was Concubine De's voice. "Didn't I ask you to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Why are you back so soon?"
"Your Majesty! Guess who I met when I just walked out of the palace?" Now that he was right in front of her, Jinzhu finally stopped suppressing the joy in her heart.
Seeing Jinzhu so unstable, Concubine De couldn't help but scold her: "Jinzhu, you are the head maid of Yonghe Palace, why are you still so impetuous?"
"Your Highness!" Seeing that Concubine De didn't guess but blamed herself, Jinzhu stamped her feet and said, "Look who this is?"
Jinzhu moved aside, and at the same time, Yinzhen appeared in Defei's eyes.
Defei was so shocked that she knocked over her teacup and jumped up from her seat. Just now she complained that Jinzhu was not steady enough, but she was not steady at all now.
"Yinzhen?!" Defei stared at the figure that stepped into the hall, not daring to blink, for fear that she was hallucinating.
Yinzhen slowly approached, "Hello, Madam Defei, I am here to look for my thirteenth brother. I wonder where he is now?"
Yinzhen glanced into the hall and did not see Yinxiang, so he could not help but ask.
At this moment, Concubine De had no memory of Yinxiang. She stepped forward and took Yinzhen's hand, "Let me take a good look at you."
Yinzhen's hand was held by Concubine De, and he couldn't help but move, trying to pull it back. Unexpectedly, Concubine De used some force, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.
"Empress Defei?" Yinzhen couldn't help but remind her.
But suddenly, Concubine De burst into tears and even reached out to touch his face.
Yinzhen couldn't even keep his cold face. He couldn't help but take a step back, tilting his head back to avoid Defei's hand.
With another effort, he broke free from Concubine De's hands and jumped away immediately, wishing he could be as far away from her as possible.
Yinzhen thought that there was nothing wrong with his actions, but he didn't know what had gone wrong with Concubine De, as she started to touch him right away.
Yinzhen frowned and reminded again: "Please tell me, Empress Defei, whether my thirteenth brother is in Yonghe Palace. If not, I will go back today."
But who would have thought that these words would irritate Concubine De's sensitive nerves. Yinzhen's evasive action just now had already hurt Concubine De's heart, and now hearing him say the word "go back", it was really...
"Go back? Where are you going back to?" Concubine De said sharply, "Chengqian Palace? Or Yongshou Palace?"
Hearing Concubine De mention Chengqian Palace, Yinzhen couldn't stay there any longer. "My Lady Concubine De, please be careful with your words! Where my master goes back to is none of your business!"
After Yinzhen finished speaking, he turned and left, not giving Defei any chance to talk nonsense again.
"Stop!" Defei looked at Yinzhen's back.
But just as Yinzhen said, where he went had nothing to do with Concubine De, and Yinzhen did not stop at all.
"Stop right there!" De Fei couldn't help but took two steps forward and chased after her. "I am your mother! If you want to go back, you should go back to my Yonghe Palace!"
Finally I said it out.
Yinzhen’s back paused.
"Empress!" Jinzhu screamed in shock.
Seeing Yinzhen's frozen figure, Concubine De finally felt relieved. She saw her son calling the woman she hated the most "mother", while she, the one who had carried him for ten months, could hardly even see him.
And now, she finally told the secret that she had kept for more than ten years.
The moment she said it, she felt relieved. Over the years, this matter had been weighing on her mind like a mountain, making her feel uneasy.
Defei's eyes were red as she waited quietly for Yinzhen's next move.
Yinzhen turned around slowly like a clockwork machine and said word by word: "You are talking nonsense!"
"I didn't!" De Fei immediately denied, "Look at me carefully, and then look at yourself! Your nose and mouth are clearly cast in the same mold as mine! It's ridiculous that Tong Jia is willing to blindfold herself and brazenly say that you are her son!"
"Look at your whole body, what part of you is like her? You have your eyes like the emperor, but what else do you have like Tong Jia?"
"Shut up! I don't allow you to talk about my mother like that!" Yinzhen staggered at her.
"I am your mother!" Defei repeated, immediately drowning out his voice.
Both of them looked at each other with red eyes, and were speechless for a while.
Suddenly, Defei sighed and softened her voice, "Yinzhen, come and sit down. I will tell you everything."
Yinzhen took two steps closer doubtfully.
Defei looked at Yinzhen walking back, her eyes shining.
She pulled Yinzhen to sit down.
"Jinzhu, serve the tea and bring a few plates of snacks." Defei turned around and instructed Jinzhu.
Jinzhu was already shocked. Her own queen had just said this. Was this considered disobeying the emperor's order? Would the emperor blame her when he came back? She felt uneasy.
"Jinzhu?" Defei was already overwhelmed at the moment. Seeing that Jinzhu did not move, Defei spoke again.
"Yes! Madam! I will go right away!"
Jinzhu left, and only Defei and Yinzhen were left in the hall, staring at each other.
The atmosphere between this mother and son, who had just revealed their secret and reluctantly recognized each other, was so weird.
Defei clenched her hands, then loosened them again.
Yinzhen's brows were furrowed, as if they were tied in knots. "My queen, please go ahead and talk. There is no need to waste any more time."
"Don't worry, don't worry, let's drink some tea first and let mother take a good look at you."
As he was speaking, seeing that Concubine De was about to attack again, Yinzhen quickly dodged.
Defei put down her hand in disappointment.
Just at this moment, Jinzhu brought tea and pastries.
Concubine De picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down again.
So a story from the past slowly unfolds.
