"I also know this."

Concubine Jing's eyes flickered as she said softly, "A son is honored by his mother, and a mother is honored by her son.

They truly became mother and son.

Any benefit and honor are complementary. "

At this point, she looked at the nanny next to her and said, "Madame Feng, what do you think?"

This Nanny Feng was there when Concubine Jing was promoted to the title of Concubine.

She specially transferred people around her.

He is also a confidant she cultivated.

"Your Majesty is right."

Aunt Feng nodded and said, "Whether it is an adopted son or daughter, you can't just adopt them casually."

"So, Madam Feng, you don't support me adopting the Fourth Prince."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Tell me your reasons."

"The slave was too presumptuous."

Madam Feng bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this is my humble opinion.

The Fourth Prince is not suitable for adoption."

"go on."

"First, the Fourth Prince is old."

Nanny Feng said, "He is already an eleven-year-old boy.

He has grown up.

Someone who could get married in a few years.

In the Fourth Prince's mind, he grew up in the Old Summer Palace.

When he talks about the kindness of raising me in the future, I'm afraid he will sneer at it.

So I don’t think the Fourth Prince will truly respect the Empress.”

"It makes sense."

Concubine Jing nodded and ordered, "Continue!"

"Second, the Fourth Prince grew up alone."

Madam Feng continued, "My Lady, a child grows up alone.

Without his mother's care, the emperor would not like him.

It can be seen that the Fourth Prince has suffered a lot, and his heart must be full of resentment and violence.

He will feel that everyone has wronged him, and will hate those who are better off than him from the bottom of his heart. "

"Madame Feng, why do you say that?"

Concubine Jing looked at her and reminded her, "Some things cannot be said carelessly, understand?"

"Your Highness, I dare not."

Madam Feng bowed immediately and said firmly, "Everything I said is true.

I dare not deceive the queen in the slightest."

"Keep talking!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Feng continued, "Since the Fourth Prince only paid his respects to the Empress.

This servant specially went to investigate the Fourth Prince's situation."

"You are very brave."

Concubine Jing frowned and couldn't help but say, "I know you are thinking about me.

I will not pursue the matter this time.

Never again! "

"I know my mistake!"

Madam Feng bowed again and apologized, "Thank you, Madam, for your forgiveness."

"What did you find out?"

Concubine Jing's expression gradually became serious. "Tell me the truth. I want to know the truth."

"Yes, I dare not hide it from you, my lady."

Nanny Feng quickly told everyone all the information she had heard.

This includes the fourth prince's mischievous behavior as a child, teasing and punishing the servants in the garden.

When he was in school, he went against his teacher and hated him after being beaten.

It was not until he was defeated by his master who taught him archery and horse riding that he began to stop playing all kinds of pranks.

Wait until he's a little older.

He knows the difference between having a mother and not having one.

He also knew that his father was once the adopted son of Queen Tong Jia.

The Fourth Prince began to look for an adoptive mother for himself.

At first he hoped that the queen would adopt him.

Unfortunately, the queen never looked at him.

Later, he set his sights on his favorite concubine.

Deliberately reciting poems in front of favored concubines, or deliberately wearing old clothes.

Hoping to gain mercy from the concubines.

Last year, he worked hard to find a foster mother for himself.

Unexpectedly, it almost caused the queen to have a miscarriage.

However, he was kicked by the emperor, and his body became much weaker after he recovered from his internal injuries.

The whole person became brutal and ferocious.

Many palace maids and eunuchs died at his hands.

Although he is young, his hands are already covered in blood.

"This, are these all true?"

Concubine Jing was shocked.

Hearing what the Fourth Prince had done was totally beyond her expectations.

Madam Feng knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, if I tell a lie, I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Get up."

A complex look flashed across Concubine Jing's eyes, "I have no intention of punishing you.

Fortunately, you went to find out the details about the Fourth Prince.

If one day I suddenly soften my heart and really agree to become his adoptive mother.

It will be too late to regret later.”

"My queen, if the Fourth Prince has a good character, it would be nice to be his adoptive mother."

Aunt Feng said: "I will remember the kindness you have shown me and will be grateful for your care.

In the future, Your Majesty will have someone to rely on.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince has been naughty since he was young.

Now he is acting even more violently and wantonly.

Not only will I not be able to provide support to Your Majesty in the future, but I will become a burden to Her Majesty instead.

I feel that the Fourth Prince is not suitable for Your Majesty to adopt."

"I understand."

Concubine Jing nodded gently, “Although I hope to have a child by my side.

There was no plan to adopt a child in his teens.

Besides, I have no affection for the Fourth Prince.

If there is no affinity between us, there is no fate.”

At this point she looked at the people around her and said, “I’ll leave this matter to you.

I hope that the Fourth Prince can give up this idea as soon as possible."

"Yes, madam!"

"Slave, you obey!"

……

Forbidden City.

Harem.

Baohua Hall.

Zhen Huan knelt in front of the Buddha, closed her eyes and chanted softly.

at this time.

A figure approached quietly and silently.

Huanbi, who was guarding outside, was not there.

There was only Zhen Huan in the entire Baohua Palace.

"Huan'er!"

A familiar voice came.

Zhen Huan, who was reciting scriptures, suddenly opened her eyes.

When I turned around, I saw a gentle and elegant figure.

Their eyes met, and Zhen Huan's eyes immediately filled with tears.

Prince Guo's face was full of heartache.

Without saying a word, he walked up and hugged the person in front of him.

"Huan'er, you have suffered."

Prince Guo hugged the person in his arms tightly.

His tone was full of self-blame and guilt, “It’s all my fault for being useless and not protecting you well.

Huan'er, please scold me.

It’s all my fault.”

"My Lord, this has nothing to do with you."

Zhen Huan's tears kept falling.

Pretending to be strong, he said, “I was too careless.

Not everything is planned.

So many people died because of me.

it's all my fault.

I am sorry for them."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Prince Guo took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from her face, "I already know what happened.

it's not your fault.

It was all just an accident.

If it was really a mistake, it was just because Xiao Yunzi was careless.

It was he who lost his sense of proportion and didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Only then will I expose myself and bring harm to all of you."

"Anyway, this idea was mine."

Zhen Huan still looked guilty and regretful, "I deserve to die for causing so many troubles this time."

"Huan'er, I don't allow you to say that."

Prince Guo held her sad face in his hands and said with great heartache: "Huan'er, you are too kind.

I told you, this matter really has nothing to do with you.

Don't take everything on yourself.

How can I trust you?"

"Woo woo, it was my fault in the first place."

Lying in his arms, Zhen Huan burst into tears, "So many people have lost their lives this time.

How could it have nothing to do with me?

My Lord, please go away and don't worry about my life or death anymore."

As he spoke, he stood up.

Pushing the person in front of him away, "Go quickly, no matter what kind of punishment I receive, it is what I deserve.

I should atone for them.

I should chant sutras for them.

I should pray for them to be reborn into a good family and live a good life in the next life..."

"Huan'er!"

Prince Guo felt even more distressed when he heard this.

He hugged her tighter and said, "How can I feel at ease when you feel so guilty and self-blaming?

Huan'er, I finally found an opportunity to go to the palace.

Just let me stay with you, okay?"
