Jian Songyue was suspicious. She didn't alarm anyone when she came back. How did Concubine Xian and the Queen know?

Did someone inform them?

"Your Highness, I apologize for my impoliteness. It's not that I'm disobeying the Empress's wishes, but...this matter is ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I dare not make the decision on my own. How about Your Highness, please go into the inner hall and have a cup of tea first, and then we can sit down and talk."

Concubine Xian had long since grown tired of Jian Songyue's tricks and shouted, "Jian Songyue, you are so bold! Prince Yan just got into trouble and you brought Concubine Jiang here. His Majesty hasn't even given the order yet, but you're making the decision on your own. Don't you respect His Majesty?"

Jian Songyue's expression changed instantly. Maybe she could still fool the virtuous concubine, but she dared not offend His Majesty.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I said the wrong thing."

"But...this matter was indeed instructed by the Crown Prince, and I really don't dare to make the final decision."

The virtuous concubine laughed angrily, "Okay, since it's the prince's idea, where are the people? Call the prince out to me!"

As the emperor's concubine, she was nothing more than a concubine in front of the prince, and had to respect everyone except the queen.

But today, Concubine Xian spoke in such a tone, and Jian Songyue was furious.

This virtuous concubine, an unfavored concubine, dared to speak like this in the East Palace. She was so ignorant of her own limitations.

"Please don't be angry, Your Majesty. I have already sent someone to invite her."

The people brought by Concubine Xian surrounded the entire Eastern Palace, and Xiao Yinnan could not leave. When the prince heard about it, he rushed over immediately.

When she saw that Concubine Xian was angry, she stepped forward and bowed: "Concubine Xian, the Crown Princess is ignorant, please don't be angry."

Jian Songyue was puzzled by the prince's attitude. She was just a virtuous concubine. Was it worth him being so polite to her?

This bullying has reached its peak!

Concubine Xian asked in a deep voice, "The Empress said she wants to see Concubine Jiang. Will the Crown Prince hand her over?"

Hearing this, the prince secretly glanced at Jian Songyue, what a fool.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, is this the Empress's intention... or yours?"

"What is the difference?"

"If it is the Queen's will, this person will naturally stay in the Eastern Palace to recuperate. If it is the Consort Xian's will, he can be taken away."

The virtuous concubine frowned and looked at the person in the wheelchair in front of her, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"In that case, send the person out. I will take him away now."

The Crown Prince raised his lips and said, "My Lady Consort Xian, once someone enters the Eastern Palace, they can't just be taken away casually."

The virtuous concubine frowned: "What do you want?"

The prince ordered the people behind him: "Take the princess away."

Jian Songyue was dragged out, leaving only Concubine Xian and the Crown Prince in the hall.

The prince pushed his wheelchair forward and tried to grab Concubine Xian's hand: "What don't I want to do? I just want you to have a meal with me."

The prince lowered his head, smiled pitifully, and said softly: "From childhood to adulthood, you have never eaten a meal with me."

The virtuous concubine didn't look at him, but clenched her palms tightly and said coldly, "Your Highness, you shouldn't say these words to me, and I won't dine with you. You have your own path to follow, and I have my own things to do. I don't want to hear such words again."

The prince's eyes gradually turned red, and he reached out to pull the virtuous concubine's sleeve, "Mother..."

The virtuous concubine pushed the man away, her face full of horror.

"What did you call me?"

"Mother, I'm your son. Why don't you want to acknowledge me? Let's not let anyone else know. Just acknowledge me quietly and don't abandon me, okay?"

The virtuous concubine staggered and sat down trembling.

Turning her head away from him, she said, "I'm not your mother. Your mother is the queen."

"No, you are my mother. I will not admit my mistake. Mother, don't you feel sorry for your son all these years?"

The virtuous concubine closed her eyes. This man was the flesh that fell from her body, her son. If possible, she wished she had never given birth to him!

"Isn't this what you asked for? You are now the crown prince, the heir apparent of Daqi, and the future emperor. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

The prince stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Xian's hand, like an abandoned puppy: "Mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't have made you sad, but..."

"But you still killed your own brother!" Concubine Xian suddenly roared.

Originally, she had two children, but her son killed his younger brother for the position of the Eastern Palace.

It’s better not to acknowledge a son like this.

"Mother, I...I didn't mean to do that. I really know I was wrong. My son's legs are atonement for my brother's sin. Now, I'm afraid my son's position as crown prince won't last long."

The virtuous concubine sneered, she would never sit still for long anyway.

How could a disabled crown prince really become the emperor of Da Qi? Only Qi Junmo would believe such a thing.

"This is the path you chose. I can't help you. You should be very clear about my current situation."

The prince certainly knew this, after all, his brother's death was to make way for others.

His younger brother died and his legs were crippled. It was all karma.

"No, mother, you don't need to help me with anything. I...I just want to talk to you more."

"Your Highness, we shouldn't have met, and you shouldn't have said this to me. You've chosen your own path, and from now on, you have to keep these words to yourself. Do you understand?"

It has been so many years, she is no longer the same person as before, Prince, just pretend that she had never given birth to him. She dare not want a son like this.

"It's getting late. You'd better invite them out quickly. The Queen is waiting."

The prince lowered his head and wiped his tears, then asked, "Mother, do you really not want to recognize me?"

"Whether you recognize it or not is no longer important. You can do what you want."

The prince slowly loosened his hand and said self-deprecatingly, "Mother really doesn't want me anymore. She really is blaming me. She really doesn't recognize me..."

Seeing the Crown Prince in such a state of dismay, Concubine Xian sighed slightly, stood up and ordered the people outside: "Come here, bring Concubine Jiang out."

Xiao Yinnan couldn't leave the East Palace, so he had to let Jiang Nian go back.

But if you really enter the Queen's palace, it would be even more difficult to get the person out.

But he must not be seen by others in the East Palace.

Looking at Jiang Nian lying on the couch, he felt hardened and could only turn around and leave.

When Concubine Xian saw that the person was being carried out, she shouted, "What on earth did you do?"

The prince said calmly, "Don't worry, she's fine and will wake up soon."

The virtuous concubine breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the palace servants to quickly put Jiang Nian on the sedan chair.

"If anything happens to Concubine Jiang today, the Queen will definitely not forgive you."

The virtuous concubine took the person away and sent him to the queen's palace.

When the queen heard that the man had returned, she rushed over and asked, "How is he? Is he injured?"

The Concubine shook her head: "Don't worry, the Crown Prince said she just fainted. I checked her and she is not injured."

The queen sighed: "I'm glad you're not hurt."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from inside the hall: "Have you brought the person back?"
