Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 694 The Pit Depth Changed to 131 Meters (2)
She seemed a little surprised, she said "Okay" several times, and looked at Song Xi's body involuntarily, "But my son's injury has not healed... Although the concubine mother does not understand state affairs, she also knows that those who have different opinions in the court don't know what to do. ... Now that your uncle is gone, there are not many people from the Xie family who will help you. With your sick body, how can you control the courtiers?"

Song Xi didn't speak.

He looked at the flickering lights for a while, and said quietly, "I have Xiao Liulang."

Concubine Xie was stunned in surprise, "Are you crazy? How could he help you? If the Xiao family insisted on helping Song Ao to the throne, how could he miss such a good opportunity? My son should make plans early."

With a sound of "bang", Song Xi slammed his cane on the ground and slowly stood up.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and turned his head to look at Concubine Xie Gui: "Since ancient times, when the king died, it is the law of heaven and justice for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, and no one dares to object...Xiao Liulang, he can't either."

"But this..." Concubine Xie Guifei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say more, but Song Xi didn't give her a chance, slowly supported her crutches, turned around with difficulty, and said without looking back: "Mother concubine put jade Jia takes good care of you. Don't worry about the rest."

From Concubine Xie's point of view, Emperor Zhihua died suddenly. As the crown prince, his son's succession to the throne is a matter of course. Even if she is in the position, she can also win the support of all the ministers - after all, there are too many fools on the wall, after Xie Chen's death, she no longer dares to expect those subordinates and disciples of the Xie family to be loyal to their mother and son.

Moreover, if they make a big fuss about the emperor's death, it is very likely that they will ruin her son...Suddenly, she regretted her previous rash action a little bit.

"Dong Ji..."

As if feeling the wind and rain outside, Concubine Xie shivered, called her son abruptly, and walked over covered in blood, the hem of the skirt dragged a crooked bloodstain on the ground, which looked a little shocking, "Mother Concubine is right I can't help you--"

Song Xi didn't look back, nor did he answer.

Concubine Xie suddenly lifted her long skirt and knelt heavily on the ground.

"It's all bad for mother and concubine..."

Hearing the sound behind him, Song Xi turned around, but was unable to help her.

"What's the mother concubine doing?"

Concubine Xie was already pear blossoms with rain, tears streaming down her face, "Concubine Mother is a useless person, I can't give you and Yujia anything...As a mother, I can't protect my daughter, and even drag my son back...I am a useless person... Mother... Now that your father and king are not here, we orphans and widows, how difficult it is for you..."

"Mother and concubine, get up." Song Xi's voice was very soft, and he frowned slightly, his eyes swept over the top of Concubine Xie's slightly drooping head, and sighed helplessly, "You don't need to do anything now, just stay in the palace with Yujia. Don't do anything stupid again, that's just making trouble for me."

Concubine Xie hesitated slightly.

Since when did her son have such shrewd eyes?
Just a moment ago, she had thought of "replying with death" and shouldering the cause of Emperor Huadi's death.

Paper can't cover fire, she knows this matter can't be covered.She wanted to do one last thing for her son so as not to involve his status.But judging from Dong Ji's expression, he didn't need such sacrifices from her... Concubine Xie tugged on her sleeves, feeling a little at a loss as she knelt on the ground and looked at her son, unable to utter a single word.

"Is mother and concubine afraid?" Song Xi asked suddenly.

Concubine Xie wiped away her tears and nodded.

With one blow, there is no woman who is not afraid of killing the king and husband.

Song Xi lowered his hand with difficulty to hold her, "With me here, don't be afraid, mother and concubine."
