Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 172: Unhappy Retribution

"Queen, do you know what cause and effect means? Retribution will come." A sinister voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling the queen.

When the queen turned around, she saw that Nara, whom she had been wary of, had walked up to her without her noticing, and the two of them were very close to each other.

Such a distance was very dangerous. The queen subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from Nara, but she was surrounded by flower pots and palace maids brought by herself and Nara, so she had no way to avoid them.

She was anxious in her heart but kept a calm expression on her face. "I don't understand what Concubine Hui means, and I don't want to waste time talking to you here." After saying that, she wanted to leave with the palace maid.

"The Queen doesn't want to know why Prince Chenghu was born weak?"

"What did you say!" The queen turned around suddenly when she heard what Nara said. What did Nara mean? Could it be that Chenghu was born weak and it was not because of her excessive thinking during pregnancy, but because he was assassinated by someone?

The queen was shocked and angry. Even though her love for Chenghu was not pure and was mixed with interests, he was her child after all, a child she had finally gotten after ten months of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth.

The Queen had complicated feelings towards the child. On the one hand, her maternal instinct drove her to love her own flesh and blood. On the other hand, the child's arrival solved the Queen's urgent needs, allowing her to no longer have to bear the pressure of having a child and secure her position as Queen. Therefore, the Queen was delighted with the arrival of the child.

But Chenghu was born with a weak constitution. How could such a child inherit the throne smoothly? If the queen had not been worried about Chenghu's health, she would not have taken the risk of taking action against Chengrui.

She did all this just to make Chenghu the eldest son and the legitimate heir, so as to increase her chances of ascending to the throne. The queen felt distressed and blamed herself, but now she suddenly learned the truth about Chenghu's frailty, how could the queen bear it.

In her agitated state, the Queen missed the smile on Concubine Hui's lips and asked hurriedly, "Nara, what do you know about Chenghu's affairs?"

In fact, what the queen wanted to ask more was: How did you know the reason why Chenghu was weak? Could it be that you did it?

But reason finally held the queen back. Once she said this, the bitch Nara would probably go to the Emperor to complain, saying that he had slandered and bullied her.

Concubine Hui blinked innocently at the Queen's questioning, "What is the Queen saying? I don't understand."

The Queen was furious. "You were the one who mentioned it first. You asked me if I wanted to know why Cheng Hu was born weak."

"Oh, that. I thought the Queen didn't care about Prince Chenghu. Otherwise, why would she let him study so hard at such a young age with his frail body?"

"Nara, you are so presumptuous. You have no right to ask how I educate my children. I am asking you, so don't evade the question."

"You are joking, Queen. The palace has long known that Prince Chenghu is weak. It is because you did not take good care of the baby during your pregnancy that you have caused trouble for Prince Chenghu."

No, this couldn't be the reason. The queen had finally grabbed a life-saving straw that could pull her out of the abyss of guilt and self-blame, so how could she be willing to face her own problems again?

Seeing the Queen's anxious look, Concubine Hui knew that the time had come, so she stopped trying to trick the Queen and said bluntly, "However, I do have a guess, but I don't know if the Queen believes it."

"Just tell me directly." The queen felt more at ease. Even if it was just a guess, she would always be able to find out as long as Nara was willing to tell it.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the first words I said to you when I came to see you?" The queen was puzzled. Was there any connection between the two things, and what was the first sentence?

The queen was about to ask again when suddenly Nara's words that scared her rang in her mind: "Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution will come." The queen's face darkened immediately. Nara was mocking her. She actually thought that the other party would tell her some useful information.

The queen didn't want to pay any more attention to this bitch, but was stunned by Concubine Hui's next words. "I once heard a saying that as long as a person does evil, he will be incurring sins. If it is an ordinary person, it's fine, the soul can be protected in the body.

However, the baby in a pregnant woman's belly has not yet fully grown and is most susceptible to the infection of sinful debts. Therefore, if a pregnant woman commits evil deeds, it is very easy for the retribution to be on the child. "

"Nara, please stop spreading lies to confuse the public. What sinful debt, what soul, I am innocent. Even if these are true, what does it have to do with me and Chenghu?"

"Why are you so angry, Queen? I just want to share with you what I have seen and heard in the past. I have loved listening to these magical stories since I was a child. Even though I am not completely sure, I know that there are gods above my head."

The Queen's eyes trembled. She didn't have the confidence to refute, but she couldn't admit such a thing. Besides, people in this era were more or less superstitious. Even if they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, they believed in cause and effect.

"In fact, the mother's evil deeds will not necessarily be retributed on the child. After all, one has to bear the consequences for one's own sins." The queen's uneasy heart was comforted. Yes, that was right. Chenghu was harmed by the bitch in the palace and it had nothing to do with her.

But Concubine Hui's next words plunged her into the abyss. "As long as the reason why the pregnant woman committed evil has nothing to do with the child, otherwise..."

The queen's throat was dry, "What else?" The queen's reason warned her and stopped her from listening any further. But things had come to this point, how could the queen leave, especially since her emotions had already been led by Concubine Hui.

Moreover, even if the Queen suddenly reacted, realized that something was wrong, and wanted to leave immediately, Concubine Hui would not give her this opportunity.

"Otherwise, the child will naturally have to bear the consequences. The debt of sin cannot be used against adults, so they will naturally seek out this cause and effect and look for children who are easy to bully."

The Queen was startled and almost staggered, just as the sound of spring thunder exploded. At this moment, Xue Yi stepped forward and supported the Queen's arm, whispering, "Don't panic, Madam."

The queen came to her senses and thought that although she didn't know whether this was true or not, Nara must have had bad intentions in saying this. She raised her head and was about to ask Nara what she wanted to do, but she saw a clear mockery on her face.

Concubine Hui was just mocking the Queen. Even though she didn't admit it, the Queen knew very well in her heart what she had done, otherwise she wouldn't be so scared.

The Queen's blood immediately surged, and she raised her finger to point at the bitch. In a flash, the Queen's raised hand actually touched Concubine Hui. The Queen was shocked. There was clearly some distance between the two of them, so how could she touch her?

Before the queen could think about it, Concubine Hui fell down. Fortunately, Nanny Wu was always paying attention to her master and cushioned Concubine Hui. But even so, Concubine Hui still held her stomach and cried in pain.
