Chapter 212: The mother foolishly fell into the trap of the prince
Concubine Xiao said with some complacency that she did not reveal the secret of owning a magic button, but used an ancient book to explain her unusualness.
"Okay, I will always be with you, mother. We will be together forever."
The second prince did not comment and just tried to please his mother.
Then he heard Concubine Xiao say,
"My son, don't doubt it. Your mother has become younger. This miraculous and inexplicable thing is real.
Even your father comes here more often every night! Hehehe..."
"Really? Mother, you must firmly grasp the heart of the emperor."
"Well, don't worry! Mother knows. Mother is refining pills, and your father is very supportive. He is just waiting for Mother to refine the pills so that he can eat one!
What's his little trick? Humph! Isn't it just to be able to regain youth like me? ! "
"Mother? Why do you still want to feed him?"
Liang Hengrui suddenly felt unhappy.
*
Concubine Xiao hurriedly grabbed her son's hand and coaxed him,
"My son! Your father cannot die now. He must live well and in good health.
The day you take the throne of the Crown Prince and become stable, he will no longer be of any use to you.
You don't have to worry about it when the time comes, Mother will take action."
When Concubine Xiao whispered these words, the expression on her face was sinister and distorted.
Liang Hengrui was no longer surprised, and he immediately figured out all the twists and turns, and nodded.
"Yes, mother. I will obey you."
The mother and son sat down again, snuggling up to each other and whispering. The scene was warm and beautiful.
Aunt Yao, who was standing at one side of the hall, was filled with envy, and there was a hint of sadness in her expression as she lowered her head.
*
At this time, Concubine Xiao's startled voice was heard.
"By the way, my son, have you met your father?"
"Well, I went to see you first when I came. Father didn't seem very happy, and his smile to me was a little forced. I will take my leave and come to see you directly.
But mother, I have a surprise for you."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows and said in confusion,
"Any other surprises?"
"Well, my father said that he has conferred the title of King Rui on me, and he will draft an edict soon."
Before Liang Hengrui finished speaking, Concubine Xiao jumped up and screamed with her eyes wide open.
"King? He made you the King of Rui? When did it happen? Why don't I know?
He promised me, why did he suddenly make you king? Did he personally promise me that it would be a few years later? "
*
Concubine Xiao's mood suddenly became manic, as if she was crazy.
Liang Hengrui hurriedly hugged her, patted her back and soothed her softly,
"Mother, calm down. Listen to me. It is true that you will be conferred the title of King Rui, but you don't have to leave the capital for the time being.
My father said that because I have done a great job, I can stay in the capital temporarily as the city defender, and I can still stay by your side!"
"Really? We don't have to leave Beijing?"
"Well, not for now."
Concubine Xiao looked at her son with her beautiful eyes, and after confirming again, her trembling body calmed down a little.
In an instant, the pale, blue face showed a smile again. The face became rosy and shiny again.
Liang Hengrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations, Prince Rui. This is great news! Madam was also very excited when she heard it!"
Nanny Yao, who was waiting on the side, quickly diverted Concubine Xiao's attention and said with a smile on her face.
"Well, Aunt Yao, you and mother should be well."
"Well, this old slave will take good care of the Imperial Concubine."
Yao Ma, the wet nurse of Concubine Xiao, is also a prominent figure in Ruyi Palace, and Liang Hengrui also shows her some respect.
*
Seeing that Concubine Xiao had calmed down, Liang Hengrui pretended to be relaxed and said,
"Mother, my father also said that he has arranged a small banquet tonight to welcome me back."
"Well, as long as your father has you in his heart, it's fine. As long as you don't leave the capital for the time being, our chances of winning will be better.
But my dear, it seems we have to hurry up, given the current situation we can’t delay any longer.”
"Yes, mother, I understand. That day won't be too far away.
However, the number of people around my grandfather was reduced significantly due to the prince's use of power against them.
You should also write a letter to ask Grandfather to discipline him strictly and stop him from being a burden to us."
"it is good."
The mother and son looked at each other, and the same ambitious light flashed in their similar eyes.
*
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, please try this tea first. The Imperial Concubine specially left it for you."
Aunt Yao hurried over to serve tea and water. "Yes." Liang Hengrui nodded and picked up the teacup.
While sipping the fragrant tea, Liang Hengrui thought of something else.
He asked Concubine Xiao,
"By the way, mother, who made you angry before I came here?"
Concubine Xiao looked at her handsome and intelligent son and said in an unhappy tone,
"My son! I feel so upset. I did something so shameful that I had to swallow my anger. I made wedding clothes for others. I am so regretful!
You just entered the palace and you don’t know yet?
This morning, news came out that the prince already had a child outside the palace.
It turns out that he already has twins, a boy and a girl. He kept it a secret so well! Even so many spies in and outside the palace didn’t notice it.”
The second prince raised his head and frowned,
"Mother, is the news true? Didn't you say he was poisoned and couldn't get close to women?"
"The news is absolutely true. What's the matter with not getting close to women? His poison was cured long ago.
We underestimated Queen Qin. She pretended to be a hypocrite all day long, but we didn't expect that she actually had some abilities.
My son, the most infuriating thing is that the Crown Prince actually schemed and tricked his foolish mother into fulfilling his wish.
The mother of the child was allowed to enter the Eastern Palace by hiding the truth from the world, and was even given the high position of Crown Prince's Consort.
I'm going to go crazy just thinking about it."
Concubine Xiao beat her chest and stamped her feet in deep regret.
*
"Oh, who is that woman?"
"It's the common woman that was rumored before. What?! She is not a lowly common woman at all.
She was the second daughter of the Yangzhou prefect, Fang Qingge. She was considered a noble lady. The two met by chance and got married without any matchmaker or betrothal.
You don't know how difficult it was for the prince when he came to me and begged for help.
He explained pitifully that if he brought the person back to the Eastern Palace directly, he would be in a nameless and unrecognized position that was too low, and he was worried that he would be bullied by the Crown Princess and others.
The safest path for her would be to become a concubine, but she is no longer a virgin.
Oh! Mother is so stupid! I should have thought about it when the prince secretly came to ask for help.
My mother was so crazy that she believed it and went to handle it herself.
I tried every possible way to ask your father for approval. I used the excuse that you two princes were selecting concubines, and let her enter the Eastern Palace as a concubine!
How can your mother be so stupid? ! "
Liang Hengrui finally understood the reason why Concubine Xiao was so excited and spoke incoherently, and couldn't help but ask,
"Mother, you have always been cautious about the Crown Prince's affairs. How did you fall into his trap?"
