Chapter 183 Putting the blame on others
The Emperor of Chu had an unpredictable look on his face. He couldn't help but think more. Could it be that Yan Qingning still had feelings for Prince Rui?
If this is the case, this is not what he wants. The royal family cannot tolerate brothers killing each other for a woman.
Yan Qingning held the silver bracelet in her hand and was about to speak.
However, at this moment, Chu Yuanli, supported by a palace servant, walked out of the side hall coughing, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
A strong medicinal aroma diffused.
Chu Yuanli's originally handsome face now looked completely unrecognizable, covered in bruises and purples. There was no trace of his cool and elegant temperament anymore. Instead, he looked miserable, sickly and weak.
"Yuanli, you're awake. Why did you get up instead of lying there quietly?" Concubine Xian grabbed his arm, and her heart ached so much that she burst into tears.
Chu Yuanli brushed away his mother's hand and said in a weak voice, "Your son has seen the emperor, and I am sorry that you have worried me. I am unfilial..."
The Emperor of Chu frowned as he looked at him: "Your mother is right, you woke up and didn't rest well, what are you doing out here?"
Among his many sons, the Emperor of Chu felt that Prince Rui was the one most like him.
He also liked Prince Rui the most because of his temperament. Therefore, he always kept Prince Rui by his side. Emotionally speaking, he was naturally different from his other sons.
Concubine Xian covered her face and cried sadly, "Please Your Majesty, please help Yuanli. It's all because of my useless mother that people bully me like this... We are blood relatives, how can you be so cruel..."
Yan Qingning's pupils shrank slightly. She couldn't help but feel that something was not going well. No wonder the virtuous concubine hadn't caused any trouble for her since she came, but was waiting here.
She wanted to push the whole thing onto Chu Beiqing's head, which was a different matter. Was it shifting the blame or putting the blame on others?
In this way, if Emperor Chu was really diverted by her, he would only think that Chu Beiqing was too cruel and did not care about the brotherhood. He would be a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
However, the Chu Emperor's eyes flickered, and he asked Chu Yuanli, "What happened to make such a fuss?"
The Emperor of Chu naturally would not listen to one side of the story, and also wanted to hear what Chu Yuanli had to say himself.
Chu Yuanli suddenly knelt down in front of the Emperor of Chu and said, "Father, Yan Qingning and I have always loved each other. We have been forced to separate for the past few months. I feel worse than death.
Sixth brother and Ning'er are strangers and have no feelings for each other. I beg father to help us..."
After hearing what he said, Yan Qingning and Chu Beiqing simultaneously looked at Chu Beiqing with eyes as sharp as knives.
Xianfei's crying suddenly stopped, and her sadness turned into shock, "Yuanli, what are you talking about?"
She had been waiting for the Emperor of Chu to reprimand King Qing, but she had never expected that her son would make all her previous efforts go to waste.
"Mother, if you really love me, please fulfill your son's wish..." Prince Rui said word by word.
He felt guilty towards his mother, but he had to do this. He had to defeat Chu Beiqing!
After hearing this, Xian Fei's eyes were immediately filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Are you possessed by a ghost?"
The King of Chu became even angrier and wanted to kick him to death.
But the next moment, Concubine Xian rushed over and hugged the Emperor of Chu's thighs. Concubine Xian was angry and sad, "Your Majesty, please calm down. If you want to punish me, punish me. It's my incompetence that I failed to teach him well."
The Emperor of Chu stared at Chu Yuanli with a heavy gaze, "I think you are really bewitched by a ghost. You disappoint me so much!"
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xian felt as if she was struck by lightning.
She knew clearly that the emperor's word "disappointment" was not just two cold and simple words.
Because it carries the emperor's high hopes and affection for his son.
"Father, I am an unfilial son!" Chu Yuanli lowered his head and clenched his fists. He knew that his father would be disappointed in him, but it didn't matter.
His father's disappointment in him was only temporary, and he was confident that he could change his father's mind in the future.
But if he was asked to give Ning'er to Chu Beiqing just like that, he couldn't do it.
Over the years, he has been tolerant and accommodating enough to Chu Beiqing!
Ning'er was originally mine.
"Yuanli, you must be confused due to the fever. Come on, your mother will take you back..." After the virtuous concubine came to her senses, she stepped forward to help her son make up for it. Her fingernails dug deeply into her son's arm.
In this way, I hope my son can wake up.
When he sits in that position in the future, what kind of woman does he want?
She won't stop anyone who wants it.
I just hope he can be more rational now and not let temporary gains and losses ruin important things.
Chu Yuanli seemed not to feel the pain in his arm. His clear eyes were full of determination. "These days, I have been living a life worse than death. Please, father and mother, grant my son's wish..."
Concubine Xian felt her blood cooling down. She was shaking all over and her eyes were red. She seemed to have lost all her strength. She was no longer able to hint anything to her son and dropped her hands helplessly.
She told her son so much behind his back, and explained everything to him in detail, but he just wouldn't listen.
He had gone to such lengths for a woman that she didn't know what to do.
She finally understood why her son was beaten like this.
My son did it on purpose. He made it like this on purpose. It was not the conspiracy he thought it was.
But it was for that vixen, for this moment.
All the hope, anger, disappointment and other emotions finally intertwined into a strong hatred towards Yan Qingning.
"It's you, you little bitch who deserves to be chopped into pieces. I'm going to kill you, bitch!"
As she spoke, Concubine Xian suddenly stood up and rushed towards Yan Qingning.
Yan Qingning's expression was calm, and her eyes were darker than ever before. There was not a trace of guilt or uneasiness in them, nor was there any intention of avoiding.
But her extremely calm expression made others see her as just a bystander.
It seemed as if a decision had already been made.
But Chu Beiqing felt inexplicably uneasy.
The peace of mind he felt before because of her explanation was shattered into ashes in an instant.
There was no need for Chu Beiqing to stop it.
Chu Yuanli has already hugged his mother's legs, "It is my son's unfilial behavior to disappoint my mother. I know I deserve death for disobeying my mother.
But, if my son doesn’t have Ning’er, he will definitely die…Does mother really want her son to die?”
The virtuous concubine almost fell down when he hugged her like that. Fortunately, her confidant who was following her was very capable and supported her in time, so she did not make a fool of herself in public.
After hearing Chu Yuanli's words, Concubine Xian's eyes went dark and she almost fainted, "Rebellious son!"
Concubine Xian tried to kick her son away, but Chu Yuanli was not willing to let her mother do something to Yan Qingning, especially since her mother was still angry. "Mother, please..."
As Concubine Xian listened to her son's pleading voice, her hatred for Yan Qingning surged even more fiercely. If looks could kill, she would have already cut Yan Qingning into pieces.
She stared at Yan Qingning for a moment, then turned and looked at Emperor Chu with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, all this is because of her. She seduced Yuan Li. Otherwise, how could Yuan Li, such a sensible child, be like this?"
