599 Family Reunion, Angered The Queen (3)
As for the grass that Fu Ling mentioned, wasn’t it just a few weeds?!!
They picked peonies and planted weeds…
The Queen was so angry that her eyes darkened.
Wait, this girl said that they just peed this morning?
The little black eggs had grown up in the countryside and knew that peeing was a very good fertilizer, so they came early in the morning to fertilize the grass.
The dignified Queen… actually stepped on a virgin’s urine…
The Queen felt extremely disgusted. However, Fu Ling’s expression clearly showed that she still felt that she had stepped on it. Who should be the one being despised!
Shouldn’t it be that urine?
How could there be such an infuriating family…
When the Queen finally went to the study to see Prince Yan, two wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes from anger.
When the Queen set off, she was like the scorching sun high up in the sky. Now, she was almost angered into a setting sun. She stood in front of Prince Yan with reddened eyes. “Prince Consort.”
Prince Yan looked at her with a complicated expression. “I’m not your Prince Consort.”
The Queen’s heart skipped a beat. Before she came, she had guessed that if the Prince Consort woke up, Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan would definitely tell him his background. However, she had a trace of hope that the Prince Consort would not believe them so easily.
She composed herself and tried not to show her discomfort. “Why would you say that? If you’re not my Prince Consort, who is? I don’t care what others tell you. You have to hear my explanation.”
Prince Yan asked, “What explanation do you have? You’ve hidden it from me for so many years. You said I’m the son of the patriarch of the Bai Calyx Clan.”
The Queen choked. “Do you really not remember at all?”
“Remember what?” Prince Yan said.
It seemed like he didn’t remember. The Queen felt a little relieved and said with an aggrieved expression, “This was all your idea. You thought of all kinds of ways to be with me.”
Prince Yan asked, “Including feigning death and abandoning my wife and my son?”
The Queen had long expected him to ask this and had already thought of an answer. She said sincerely, “You’ve also blamed yourself deeply for this, so you’ve been feeling guilty all these years. But please believe me. Back then, you and I were really in love. You left with me willingly.”
Prince Yan paused. “Then why didn’t you tell me the truth?”
The Queen sighed. “I don’t want you to live in guilt. After you were injured and lost your memories, I simply hid your past. Besides, it’s not that I didn’t tell you, but you forgot after your illness acted up. As time passed, I stopped saying it.”
These words sounded reasonable, and she even considered Prince Yan. If Prince Yan hadn’t remembered that she had forcefully drugged him twice, she would have fooled him.
Prince Yan changed the topic. “Were you the one who poisoned Chao’er?”
The Queen’s heart skipped a beat again. She did not expect the Prince Consort to suddenly ask about this.
That little bastard, did he complain to his father so quickly? However, she was certain that he had no evidence!
“Was Chao’er poisoned?” She pretended to be surprised and asked, “You suspect me? In all honesty, we’re husband and wife. Your children are also my children. I just didn’t raise Chao’er by my side. Otherwise, I would have treated him as my own.”
Prince Yan took in her expression.
In the past, the Prince Consort had helped the Queen deal with many political enemies. Everyone said that the Prince Consort was kind-hearted and good, but she never dared to underestimate this man.
Prince Yan’s sharp gaze almost pierced through her disguise. She was so guilty that her forehead broke out in cold sweat.
Prince Yan looked away and sighed softly. “As long as it’s not you.”
The Queen heaved a sigh of relief. The Prince Consort was still willing to trust her!
Prince Yan continued, “Chao’er was poisoned by the Fragrance of Hundred Miles and needs a few herbs. I heard that the Empress has a red lingzhi in her maiden home, right?”
The Queen had almost no secrets from Prince Yan other than her past. The Prince Consort knew this kind of thing that the world did not know.
The Queen said stiffly, “…There… there’s one.”
Prince Yan looked at her steadily.
The Queen said painfully, “I… I’ll go get it for Chao’er.”
Prince Yan continued, “There’s also the engraving technique of the Wordless Heavenly Book. I heard it’s in the State Preceptor Hall.”
He even knew that she had dealings with the State Preceptor Hall…
The Queen opened her mouth, not knowing if she should be surprised by the Prince Consort’s ability or his “insatiable greed”.
Prince Yan’s gaze landed on her face. He did not say a word, but his questioning expression was clearly asking, Didn’t you say that you wanted to treat Chao’er as your own? Now that he was poisoned, as his “mother”, how could you not be attentive?
The Queen did not know how she left Ziwei Pavilion. She only vaguely remembered agreeing to everything. She agreed to find the Red Lingzhi for Yan Jiuchao and also agreed to trouble the State Preceptor.
“Mother!” Nangong Li had heard about the Queen going to Ziwei Pavilion early in the morning. He quickly put down his official business and rushed over.
The Queen sat on the chair in a daze.
“All of you, stand down!” He instructed coldly.
Everyone filed out. Only the mother and son were left in the huge room.
Nangong Li walked over gently and patted the Queen’s shoulder. “Mother, what’s wrong? What did you say to Father just now?”
“He knows about Yan Jiuchao being poisoned. He asked if I did it. In a moment of guilt, I agreed to his requests.”
“What did you agree with?” Nangong Li asked with a frown.
The Queen muttered, “I agreed to find the medicinal primers for Yan Jiuchao.”
Nangong Li said in disbelief, “Mother!”
The Queen waved her hand and pressed her sore forehead. “I know. I regret it. You didn’t see your father’s expression. If you were there, you would be the same as me.”
Ever since Nangong Li began to suspect that he was not the Prince Consort’s flesh and blood, he had seen things differently from the Queen. In the Queen’s opinion, his father was angry because of her years of deception. However, in his eyes, this was more like a scheme used by his father to achieve his goal.
Nangong Li’s eyes turned cold. “Mother, Father is using you, your feelings for him, your guilt, and even your guilty conscience to make it up to him.”
The Queen said angrily, “Nonsense!”
Nangong Li said solemnly, “I’m not spouting nonsense! Mother, he’s not your Prince Consort anymore. He’s Prince Yan! Yan Jiuchao’s father! You can’t see him anymore. He’ll use you until not even your bones are left!”
Smack!
The Queen slapped him!
“I won’t allow you to slander the Prince Consort like this! The Prince Consort is mine! He has me in his heart! If he wants me to treat Yan Jiuchao well, I’ll treat Yan Jiuchao well! If he wants me to find the medicinal primer, I’ll find them for him! I’ll give him whatever he wants!”
