The place where the sixth prince and Concubine Rong's mother and son reunited after a long absence was in the outer courtyard.

The sixth prince sat in the outer study, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad, but just holding a tea bowl and looking out of the door expressionlessly.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a woman in a veiled hat came in surrounded by the crowd.The sixth prince didn't get up, and his expression didn't even change. Everyone also offered tea with great winking, closed the door and retreated.

Concubine Rong lifted the veil on the veiled hat, so that people could see her extremely emaciated appearance at a glance, when she saw the sixth prince, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said softly: "Lian'er, you have grown so big It's a pity that my mother can't witness your growth with her own eyes."

The sixth prince remained unmoved, and said indifferently: "My name is no longer Zhuang Chenglian, but Zhuang Chengrong. Queen Chen, you are calling the wrong person."

Concubine Rong couldn't help but lowered her head and wiped her tears, choked up and said, "I know, I'm the one who got you down, mother is sorry for you."

The sixth prince said coldly: "You are my mother, you gave me life, so what if I gave this life to you, I'm sorry, you really killed me."

Concubine Rong smiled bitterly and said: "I know you resented your mother for abandoning you back then, and there was really nothing I could do about it. If I didn't leave with King Chen, I'm afraid he would be annoyed and even more painful. Afterwards, you and I parted ways. , I worry about you all the time in my heart, but fortunately, God blesses you and my mother and son to have this reunion day."

The sixth prince laughed and said, "I have been thinking about reuniting with my mother all the time. Since my mother and son are reunited today, it is also God's will. Mother, why not follow me back to the court, mother, please rest assured, I have made great contributions a while ago. If I don't give up this credit, I will definitely keep my mother safe and give me a chance to be filial."

Concubine Rong choked up immediately, and reluctantly said: "I am satisfied to see you in my lifetime, how dare I have any other expectations. Besides, if I really return to Daqi at that time, I am afraid that your father will be upset when he sees it, and it will be even more troublesome for you." .”

The sixth prince said: "There is nothing to be burdened with. At that time, my mother will be able to leave the palace and live in my residence, so that I can always serve my mother in return for the kindness of nurturing."

This is not the purpose of Concubine Rong's coming here.So how could she agree to it? She couldn't help hesitating and evading it.

Seeing this, the sixth prince was too lazy to fight again, so he sighed: "I know that the husband and wife are different from each other. I think you don't want to be separated from King Chen. It's okay. I can see my mother again in this life, and I am content." .Now I won’t keep you either, so as not to cause doubts in Chen Wang’s heart and ruin the relationship between your husband and wife. As long as you live happily in the future, it can be regarded as my filial piety.”

Concubine Rong didn't expect the sixth prince to send her away like this, so she couldn't help but said anxiously: "I'm old now, and I still have a few years to live. I know that you are not happy in Daqi, and those people are plotting against you one by one. Where When you are a relative? On the contrary, Chen Anzheng in your hand is closer to you now. I hope you can spare his life for the sake of your mother and compatriots. My mother hopes to see your brothers get close in her lifetime, so that Even death can rest in peace.”

Before the sixth prince had finished listening, he had already stood up, threw the tea bowl in front of Concubine Rong, and said angrily, "Why don't you always worry about me, why can't you get back together because of me, why can't you just say clearly: You are coming this time Pleading for Chen Anzheng? Since they are mother and son, there is something that cannot be said directly, why bother to use this method of dealing with people in a roundabout way."

Concubine Rong lowered her head and wept, "I didn't mean to put on a show. I really remembered what I owed you all these years. How could I have the face to plead with you. Now that I have spoken, I have to say something cheeky: After all, he is a brother, I hope you will spare him."

The sixth prince said coldly: "You are my mother, how dare I not listen to what you said, it's just that he and I are masters, and my mother only wants to save him, but have you ever thought that if I let him go, How can I explain to my father, how can he let me go?"

Concubine Rong hurriedly said: "You have been a smart child since you were a child, and you are the greatest pride of your mother. You must be able to come up with a good solution. Besides, you just said that you have made great achievements. I think your father will see it on this, and you will be able to come up with a good solution." I won't do anything to you. Now that you are attached to the crown prince, you shouldn't be in the limelight too much. Sometimes some shortcomings are more beneficial. Besides, Zheng'er is also your elder brother. If you kill him, how can the crown prince not worry about himself? life?"

The sixth prince looked at Concubine Rong, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "If my mother cares about me, she can think of these things for me, which shows that she has really put her thought into it."

Concubine Rong's eyes flickered. Ever since she returned to East Chen, she knew that King Chen was jealous, so she only devoted herself to taking care of his father and son's daily life. Where did she dare to mention Daqi, she had put the sixth prince in the back of her mind. Well, what he said just now was just what King Chen taught when he came, and now he just repeats it according to the scriptures.

At this time, Concubine Rong could only follow the words of the sixth prince, and said: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Zheng'er is my son, and you are also my son. How can I not care about you? It's just that I am in an embarrassing situation. A heart is divided into two halves, but it is only hidden in my heart."

The sixth prince forced him to ask again: "Since mother said that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, if the situation is different today, I don't know if mother would also be so painstakingly pleading for me?"

Concubine Rong shed tears in her eyes, and said: "Unless I am dead, how can I see your two brothers killing each other, I just hope that God will open his eyes and let Chen Qi live in peace, otherwise I will be in trouble for the rest of my life." Couldn't be happier."

The sixth prince couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, tears came out of his laughter, and Concubine Rong's heart fluctuated like a small boat floating in the wind and rain.

Finally the sixth prince stopped, wiped his tears with his hands, pointed at Concubine Rong and smiled: "I just said, the more beautiful a woman is, the more vicious her heart is, the more she can deceive people when she tells lies." It doesn’t pay for your life. It seems to be true today, Queen Chen, since you said that I was smart since I was young, can you really deceive me when I was nine years old as a three-year-old child? What was the situation at that time, did you Don’t you remember? You treated me like that back then, but now you dare to talk so sweetly with a shy face, it seems that I’m just a piece of mud on the back of your hand, just throw it away at the critical moment.”

Concubine Rong was suspicious, and said in a panic: "Are you saying that you want to pick off your mother's heart? Both of you are flesh that fell from your mother's body. There is no reason for your mother not to feel sorry for you. Don't believe what those people say. Instead, they make their relatives their enemies."

The sixth prince sighed: "When I saw Queen Chen, she really regarded me as a three-year-old child. In fact, even when I was only three years old, how could I not know the truth? Even if I didn't know the truth back then, I still do it now My father is gone, and every time I see her mother and son getting along, I am envious, and I also reflect on how stupid I was back then."

"How you treated me back then is not only clear in your heart, but I also understand it now. You only miss your husband and son in your heart. Every day when the weather is bad, you will make a lot of snacks they like and pray to the gods secretly I just feel sorry for me at the time, I thought that as long as I made progress, I could make you happy and like me, but I didn’t expect that after all my hard work, it would be nothing in the end.”

Concubine Rong hurriedly shook her head and said, "Son, don't listen to those people's sowing discord."

The sixth prince waved his hand and said: "Queen Chen, don't take me for a fool. I still remember the scene when I was three years old, let alone what happened when I was nine years old. Even a stupid and ignorant person should understand something after such an incident. It makes sense. I just want to ask you a question, have you slept peacefully at night all these years? It never appeared in your dreams, and I was terrified, begging my mother to save me?"

Concubine Rong's face turned pale immediately, and her body trembled slightly. The Sixth Prince looked at her and smiled brilliantly, but what he said made Concubine Rong feel like she was wrapped by a poisonous snake, and her body became completely cold inside and out: "I will never forget When I was caught by Chen Wang, when Chen Anzheng came to cut me, I cried desperately to let you save me, but you turned your face away and let me cry hoarsely. The knife fell, and I swore in my heart: If I can survive, I will avenge today, and I will never beg for mercy from anyone in this life, and I will never try to please anyone. If anyone dares to show me a little disrespect in the future, I will let him survive You can't ask for death."

The sixth prince pointed to Concubine Rong and asked: "When my life was hanging by a thread, you didn't say a word and let Chen Anzheng take my life. How can you have the face to come to me today to plead for him?"

Concubine Rong said in a panic: "No, you are young, you must have misremembered, you are my own flesh and blood, how could I ignore your life and death, I begged Chen Wang early in the morning, and then I was the one who was desperate I begged again and again to save your life."

The sixth prince sneered and said: "Of course you have begged for mercy, otherwise how could I have wholeheartedly expected you to intercede again. Unfortunately, my life is not worth Chen Wang's words: You are the fate of being the son of heaven, how can you keep it?" This disaster may kill my Chen family in the future."

Concubine Rong was terrified in her heart, she really did not expect that the sixth prince would actually see the matter clearly when he was about to lose his wits.

The sixth prince said again: "If the guards hadn't rushed up to block the knife for me at a critical moment, how could I have survived to the moment when my dear and respectable mother pleaded for me?"

Concubine Rong argued strongly: "Anyway, if I didn't intercede for you later, do you think your life can last until the guards come to rescue you?"

The sixth prince stared at Concubine Rong, and asked word by word: "Then tell me, back then you begged King Chen to take me back on the grounds that I had a treasure hidden on me, and slowly asked about the whereabouts of the treasure. Is it for me or for me?" For the treasure?"

Concubine Rong was stared at by the sixth prince's sharp eyes, but she couldn't speak for a moment. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
