Chapter 381 The Secret of the Concubine Mother
Chapter 381 The Secret of the Concubine Mother
Concubine Xiao was led by her son into the inner room.
"Mother, please sit down. I want to ask you something secretly. Just now you said that the prince will definitely die. Did your mysterious thing tell you that?"
Concubine Xiao's smile froze on her face.
She stared at him nervously with a pair of large, intimidating eyes and asked tentatively,
"Huang'er, you? What do you mean? What mysterious thing?"
*
Liang Hengrui no longer kept Concubine Xiao in suspense and said with a serious expression,
"Mother, please don't hide it from me! I already knew you had a secret.
After you manipulated the epidemic that ravaged Jiangnan City, I knew that your secret was omnipotent.
Our original intention was to let the prince contract the disease and die. But we never thought they would develop a cure.
Just when I was feeling extremely disappointed, I heard that the Crown Prince was suddenly sick again, with no cure and his life or death in danger. I knew that this was also your doing.
Mother, is my guess correct?"
The secret in her heart was revealed, and Concubine Xiao was shocked and grabbed Liang Hengrui's hand.
"My son, tell me, did you guess it yourself? Or did your advisers guess it?"
*
Seeing Concubine Xiao's unusual nervousness, Liang Hengrui sat beside Concubine Xiao, stretched out his arms and hugged her, gently patted her back and whispered to comfort her,
"Don't be afraid, mother. Don't worry, this is just my guess. Don't forget that we are connected by heart.
Ever since I was old enough to understand, you have often stroked this stone on your neck that looks like jade but is not jade.
I like talking to myself about it, and the unusual things you often show. I also know how important this strange stone is to you.
I grew up day by day, and twenty years passed in a flash.
Then you suddenly changed completely.
I have linked together all the things you said and did in the past and put them in order!"
When Prince Rui came to this point, he whispered to Concubine Xiao,
"Mother, is this stone spiritual? Did it help you realize all your wishes and requests?"
Concubine Xiao stared at her son's eyes and then looked away, her little heart beating wildly.
After a moment, she suddenly asked anxiously,
"My son, you have guessed it, but can your father guess it too?"
"Mother, no matter how wise father is, he would not have thought of this. After all, you did not behave inappropriately in front of him.
I think your father is just curious about your rejuvenation after a sudden illness, so he came to ask if there is a magic medicine.
As for the epidemic in Jiangnan City and the Crown Prince's serious illness, my father is not a god, how could he guess it!"
"Yes! No matter how smart he is, how could he guess these weird things?"
Concubine Xiao was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are just a kid who can scare your mother."
*
Liang Hengrui did not respond, but continued to ask,
"Mother, I also think that the Crown Prince's injury was caused by you. Can you tell me the truth?"
Seeing that her son was so smart, Concubine Xiao knew that there was no need to hide it from him.
More than 20 years have passed, and the blood-related prince has grown up. He still longs to share his past life with someone who can empathize with him, right? !
He took the button from his neck, rubbed it gently and said,
"My son, your mother's wish is about to come true! You should thank it."
Prince Rui wanted to reach out to take it and have a look, but Concubine Xiao dodged him.
"Don't be disrespectful to Kouxian. He is a cultivator who is temporarily staying there. My son, your mother has a secret that she has never revealed to anyone.
For more than 20 years, he has been silently accompanying my mother until today.
Mother, let me tell you the truth! I am not from this world. The world that Mother lives in is an equal society.
Unfortunately, my mother was accidentally killed when she was 20. I didn't expect to open my eyes and arrive in this feudal and strict ancient times.
She became a fifteen-year-old lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You know what happened later!"
"Concubine?"
Liang Hengrui just thought Concubine Xiao was crazy after hearing what she said.
A look of sadness flashed through his sad eyes, but he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
*
Concubine Xiao instantly caught the disbelief and pity in his eyes, reached out and touched her son's face and said with a smile,
"Don't be afraid. Mother is not crazy. Really, everything Mother said is true."
"Mother? Are you still joking with your son? If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask!"
Liang Hengrui hugged Concubine Xiao like a child who was afraid of losing his mother.
Concubine Xiao also knew that it was understandable that her son would not believe it for a while when she talked about such an incredible and strange thing.
She put on a smiling face.
"Okay, mother is not going to joke with you anymore! It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Liang Hengrui heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mother, let's not talk about this anymore. Please tell me where did those things I asked you to take out come from?"
Concubine Xiao knew that her son did not believe her, and she felt a little disappointed. She felt uncomfortable because she shared her past with her closest person and was not understood.
He restrained his expression and said solemnly,
"Mother knows a little bit about witchcraft, so my son just needs to know the ropes. After all, it is strictly prohibited in the palace."
"I understand! And, mother, were you responsible for the prince's injury?"
"Mother can't lie to you. Just stay in the mansion and wait for news! It will be in the next few days."
Liang Hengrui was overjoyed. He stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Mother, I will take my leave. I have to go back and discuss the follow-up matters with Mr. Jiang."
Concubine Xiao waved at him, and Prince Rui walked out of the inner room.
Concubine Xiao heard the voice of Aunt Yao outside the door.
"Prince Rui, are you leaving? What about the Imperial Concubine?"
"Madam Yao, mother needs to rest. I will go back first!"
Then, she heard the sound of Nanny Yao tiptoeing out.
*
Concubine Xiao smiled bitterly at the button and said,
"Kouxian, look, even my own son doesn't believe me?!"
At this moment, the button glowed slightly.
“Ruyue, in this world, no one believes in you except me.
Remember, take good care of yourself and give birth to our child. Our family of three will live long and long together."
Concubine Xiao nodded weakly and asked again,
"Is the prince's injury really incurable this time?"
"Well, I have failed many times. This time I used a deadly poison, which should have no antidote."
After hearing this, Concubine Xiao finally felt relieved.
Suddenly I remembered that I had just told my son about my time travel. It seems that she had not yet asked the Button Fairy how she traveled through time.
So I asked out of curiosity,
"Button Fairy, I was killed because I led the raid and was accidentally injured. What about you? Why did you enter the button?"
