Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chen Qingzhu raised her hand and brushed aside the hem of her clothes, leaving Pei Xuan with nothing to grab.

The indifference revealed by her action made Pei Xuan temporarily afraid to act rashly.

Chen Qingzhu lowered his eyes and looked at him, saying calmly:

"The damage caused by doing something wrong cannot be repaired by simply admitting your mistake."

Pei Xuan thought that she had softened her tone, and was overjoyed. He immediately expressed his determination:

"I know! Mother, I'll do anything as long as you can forgive me!"

"Anything?" Chen Qingzhu asked.

"Yes!" Pei Xuan nodded vigorously, "I'm willing to do anything!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled faintly, moved his fingers for a moment, and said:

"The sixth day of the seventh month two months from now will be a good day for having a baby."

"Since you sincerely repent, you should be given to the ministers for the sake of my country."

Pei Xuan's mind suddenly buzzed.

She actually wanted to adopt him out!

In this ancient time when status was important, once someone was adopted, he would never have a chance to inherit the throne again.

The repressed grievances and anger, under the tremendous stimulation, all turned into raging rage, causing him to lose all reason in an instant, and he could no longer maintain his previous mask of humility and obedience.

"No! I don't agree!" he shouted.

"I have already apologized to you so sincerely, why are you still so cruel to me?"

From his recent actions, Chen Qingzhu knew that he still didn't see the situation clearly and was overestimating his own capabilities by trying to fight for things that didn't belong to him.

However, his own abilities are very limited, yet he thinks he is smart, and even his strategies and tactics for fighting seem so stupid and shallow.

"Cruel?" Chen Qingzhu said coldly, "If I were really cruel, I would have killed you directly to avoid the turmoil caused by the fight for the throne."

"Being adopted is the only way for you to survive."

The prerequisite is that he can grasp this way of survival.

This is a notice full of traps.

If he had been a well-behaved son of a minister, studied hard, and served the country well.

After he has children, she might even confer the title of Earl on him for the sake of future generations, so that he can pass on the title to the family.

But if you still have improper thoughts and do things that you shouldn't do, then it's better to die.

As it turned out, she had overestimated Pei Xuan's intelligence.

Her words were so serious, but he didn't understand the deeper meaning at all. All he could think about was that she wanted to adopt him out.

"You're not fair! You treat me like this just to clear the obstacles for Pei Rong! This is not fair!"

"I am the only prince, so I should be the crown prince! If anyone is to be adopted, Pei Rong should be adopted out!"

Under great stimulation, he began to speak without thinking and said everything that was in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhu frowned even deeper.

How could she have such a stupid son!

"Whether in character or ability, you are far inferior to Rong Niang. What qualifications do you have to be the crown prince?"

Seeing the contempt and disgust on her face, Pei Xuan became even more angry and asked immediately:

"You haven't trained me yet, so how can you conclude that I won't be able to do the job after receiving the same education and experience?"

Chen Qingzhu sneered:

"How ridiculous! Why should I choose a filial and intelligent daughter over a man who is willing to force me to death just to be his legitimate son?"

She is not idle, so she creates a rival for Rong Niang for no reason and disturbs the peace of the court.

Pei Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at her angrily:

"You really are still holding a grudge against me! Is there any mother like you in the world? You keep harping on the little mistakes your child made when he was little?"

Chen Qingzhu just thought it was ridiculous:

"Oh, even today, you still think it was a minor mistake."

When she left the house, he was no longer a child.

At least mentally, he understood everything. In the mansion and the academy, he seemed to be much more considerate than other children of the same age in dealing with people.

He didn't say that out of ignorance.

Moreover, even now, he still seemed to take it for granted that

Since she gave birth to him, she must sacrifice everything for him, and no matter what he did, she must tolerate and forgive all his mistakes and hurts.

It seemed that in his mind, being a mother made her some kind of inferior bitch.

Chen Qingzhu always believed that the feelings between people should be mutual.

It is simply a dream to expect her to remain kind to such a heartless child.

"It's just a small matter. I just said it casually. It didn't affect you in any way..."

Pei Xuan defended himself convincingly.

However, Chen Qingzhu didn't want to waste any more time on this hopeless son.

"Someone, send him out of the palace. I don't want to see him."

She ordered directly.

Immediately, two guards from the Qianqing Palace came in and said to Pei Xuan politely:

"Mr. Pei, please."

Pei Xuan finally calmed down a little when he saw the two guards with swords.

After all, he didn't dare let the guards drag him out.

He couldn't afford to lose this person.

Moreover, those powerful people who followed him would easily become disloyal when they saw how he was treated by his cruel mother.

After Pei Xuan left, Chen Qingzhu called Rong Niang over.

"Mother!"

Everyone else in the hall was asked to leave, so Rong Niang regained her lively nature. As soon as she entered the hall, she trotted over and snuggled up to Chen Qingzhu.

Chen Qingzhu wiped the sweat off her forehead and said softly:

"It's nothing important, there's no need to rush."

Rong Niang smiled and said:

"There are a lot of things to do in the cabinet right now. If I spend less time on the road, I can spend more time with my mother!"

Chen Qingzhu's lips curled slightly, revealing a gentle smile:

"If the cabinet is short of staff, add a few more people. Don't exhaust yourself."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what I am doing!"

The two chatted for a while before Chen Qingzhu got down to business:

"I am planning to send you to Qin Province to recruit the rebels. Are you willing to go?"

Rong Niang was somewhat puzzled:

"My mother assigned me a task, so I'm naturally willing to go."

"But... didn't the Qin Province already send Zhu Changming? Could something have happened?"

Chen Qingzhu said:

"That's not the case. It's just that if you go there as the crown prince, it will better demonstrate the sincerity of our Great Xi Dynasty."

"Besides, just now your brother sneaked into the palace to look for me..."

She told Rong Niang about Pei Xuan's performance and her arrangements for him.

"This is a test for him and for the powerful people who follow him. You have to leave the capital so that they can see the opportunity."
