Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Hearing his words, Cui Panxi suppressed the jealousy in her heart and sneered.

"But it's obvious that Your Highness loves the wrong person. You've given so much to Meng Xiyue, but she turns around and hooks up with Crown Prince Nanrong."

Even now, she still wants to sow discord.

She just didn't want to lose to Meng Xiyue.

"It's not that I fell in love with the wrong person, it's that I failed her."

From the first time she met Meng Xiyue, she wanted to break off the engagement with the top scholar Jiang Chubai in protest against becoming a concubine.

She has never been a person who covets power. What she wants is a husband who truly loves her.

But he still thought he was extremely powerful, and his concubine was not a concubine, so she should be grateful for giving her this position.

Everything was just his wishful thinking, or maybe he felt that he had spoiled her to the point of lawlessness and she would never be able to leave him again.

But in fact, the person who can't live without each other is him, and never Meng Xiyue.

Xie Junyi lowered his eyes and walked out of the palace.

Before leaving, he left a sentence, "My brother is not a good match for you, I hope you can think it through."

Looking at his back, Cui Panxi couldn't help but shed tears.

How could she not know that the man who threatened her and killed her father would not be a good husband?

But what else could she do? Her life was in the hands of King Liang, so she could only obey.

Fortunately, Xie Junyi and Meng Xiyue were unable to get together, and she finally felt a little relieved.

Two days later

Nan Rongzhi took Meng Xiyue and set out on the journey back to Nanrong Country.

When walking out of the capital, Meng Xiyue couldn't help but lift the curtain and look towards the city gate.

Ten months ago, she came to the capital. At that time, she was full of longing and thought that this would be the first stop of her travels.

But she didn't expect that in these short ten months, she had experienced so much, was exhausted both physically and mentally, and almost lost her life here.

She didn't know whether she would come back after this separation.

At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she was more happy or more melancholy.

She sighed, raised her eyes and saw a figure standing in a corner of the tower.

He was dressed in a black brocade robe, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in darkness. He seemed very different from the bright and dazzling Xie Junyi that he had first met.

Was it me who made him become like this?

Xie Junyi, although we can no longer love each other, I hope you can get what you want and sit on that supreme position.

I hope you can find a good person, someone who truly loves you, understands you, and is willing to support you.

Looking at him, Meng Xiyue said two words silently, "Goodbye."

Xie Junyi, who was on the city wall, suppressed the urge to catch up with her and smiled.

"I will come to find you soon, please wait for me."

He didn't know what the relationship between her and Nan Rongzhi was, but he knew that Nan Rongzhi treated her sincerely.

Even if she goes to Nanrong Kingdom, she will be protected.

Meng Xiyue's trust in her is even stronger than his own.

Maybe it was a good thing that she went to Nanrong.

Only after Nan Rong's carriage completely disappeared did Xie Junyi turn around and leave.

He had to arrange things in the capital as soon as possible so that he could leave without any worries.

When he returned home, he brought Wang Ruixuan into the palace.

"Have you remembered everything I told you?"

"I know. I'll listen to Brother Prince Qi in everything." Although Wang Ruixuan was only a ten-year-old child, he understood everything he should understand. Moreover, having experienced the destruction of his family, he was more mature than other children.

Hearing this brother, Xie Junyi smiled, "From now on, I will be your real brother."

Xie Junyi took him directly to the imperial study to ask for an audience.

When the emperor learned that he came to see him with a child, he felt a little confused.

But they were still allowed in.

"Greetings to my father."

"See the Emperor."

Wang Ruixuan followed behind Prince Qi and saluted together.

"What's the matter, Prince Qi?"

The emperor did not look at the two people, his eyes were always on the memorial.

"Your Majesty, I accidentally encountered this child and found that his background was unusual. After investigation, I found that he was involved in a shocking conspiracy and even involved people from the royal family. Therefore, I came here to ask Your Majesty to preside over justice."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and put down the memorial in his hand, "What do you mean? Could it be that this child is the child of one of my princes?"

It has to be said that the emperor's imagination was quite wild, but he did not think about the fact that his eldest son, Prince Liang, was only twenty-four years old. It was really too early to have a child at the age of fourteen.

"No, this kid's name is Wang Ruixuan, and he's from Jiangnan."

"Crack~"

Before Xie Junyi could finish his words, the tea in the emperor's hand fell onto the table, soaking the memorials. The frightened eunuch hurried to clean it up.

But the emperor was not aware of it at all. He looked straight at the child and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say his name was?"

"His name is Wang Ruixuan, and his mother's name is Wang Rou."

"Rou'er..."

The emperor quickly stood up and walked in front of Wang Ruixuan, "Child, raise your head and let me see."

Wang Ruixuan raised his head and revealed his face completely.

"Yes, it really is. How old are you this year, kid?"

"I will be exactly ten years old in June this year." Wang Ruixuan replied calmly.

Before he entered the palace, Prince Qi had already told him his true identity.

So he had made sufficient preparations to face this almighty emperor, who was also his biological father.

"Ten years old? It's really you."

The emperor's eyes were red for the first time. "Where is your mother? Where is she? Summon her to the palace quickly."

He couldn't help but feel excited at the thought that he would soon see the woman he had been dreaming about.

The tone became a little hurried.

Hearing this, Wang Ruixuan lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "My mother, she is gone."

"Gone? What does that mean?"

There was some confusion in the emperor's eyes. He didn't want to think about the possibility that Wang Ruixuan mentioned.

"Replying to Father, Wang died a year ago." Xie Junyi said, "Before she died, she gave Wang Ruixuan a jade pendant, and the housekeeper took him to Beijing to look for his relatives."

When the emperor saw the jade pendant in Xie Junyi's hand, he was 100% sure that the child in front of him was his own flesh and blood.

He didn't expect that when he left, she already had her own flesh and blood, and she raised her to this age alone.

At that time, he also told her that he hoped she could give birth to a child for him, and if it was a prince, he would be named Xie Ruixuan.

He thought it was just a joke, but ten years later, he realized that everything was real.

He and she really have a prince, who has grown up so much.

"Why, why didn't she tell me?"

The emperor held the jade pendant and burst into tears.

How come he didn't know about such a big thing?
