King Yu could not help but be taken aback. "Uncle?" Imperial Concubine Qi nodded. "That's right, I had an engagement with Lixiao, but it was only an oral agreement between your grandfather and the late Elder Wen. The two families did not make any documents or make any gifts, so Lixiao decided to leave the capital and travel the world.
After cancelling the marriage, in order to not damage the relationship between the two families, your grandfather had adopted Firmament as his foster son. In other words, he is my elder brother, which also means that he is your uncle. " He had told her so many years ago, with tears in his eyes, to prevent their engagement from becoming a source of blame. After so many years, she was constantly recalling the scenes from when they had parted. The pain was like the maggots in her bones, day and night …
He tormented her, expecting to be numbed by the pain of seeing her again.
King Yu looked at the pain in Imperial Concubine Qi's eyes and knew that this was definitely not the case. However, for the sake of his mufei's reputation, he could only go along with it and say, "Junyu greets uncle." Wen Lixiao slightly turned his head in the direction of the voice. "Your Highness, no need to be so courteous, because when I first left the capital, I left in a hurry and did not return for many years, so no one knew about my relationship with my foster father. I didn't expect that we would meet today in such a hurry and I actually didn't have the time to prepare a present.
"
"Uncle is being too courteous."
Wang's eyebrows creased as he glared at Wen Lixiao. "There are some things that you have to think about first!" This person had clearly promised him before. He would admit that he had a relationship with Imperial Concubine Qi and help him destroy her. Unexpectedly, he had suddenly changed his mind!
Wen Lixiao turned his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, thank you for bringing this commoner to the palace, allowing me to meet with my adopted sister." "You …" "Father, this Wen Lixiao took the initiative to find me and his son. He said that he and Imperial Concubine Qi had a relationship, and that Imperial Concubine Qi had made a marriage contract with him. However, Imperial Concubine Qi loved to hide her marriage from him, and so she ended up entering the palace to become your concubine."
"My concubine, she had a relationship with Wen Lixiao previously …" "Jun, are you done yet?!" He knew that the Emperor had never been smart in the past, but he had never expected him to be stupid to this extent. Today was the annual feast of the palace. Would it be beneficial for him if he disturbed this feast? And, today …
With the presence of the envoys from the Northern Frontier, did he not know about the honor of the Royal Family?
The king's expression stiffened, "Royal father, this son …."
"We've long known about what happened before Imperial Concubine Qi entered the palace. The Duke of Wei also told us that you should leave."
"Father …"
"Step down!" The Emperor shouted coldly with a domineering gaze.
The King clenched his teeth and unwillingly retreated to a side.
Imperial Concubine Qi's body stiffened. She didn't dare to raise her head to look at the emperor's expression, "Brother Skywhite, since you've already returned to the capital, you should go home and take a look …"
Imperial Concubine Qi gritted her teeth, the taste of blood in her mouth was thick, "Brother Raixiao …" Wen Lixiao bent down and took the guqin from the table with him, "I've fulfilled my wish. From now on, I don't need to be regretful anymore." The two of them had chosen to buy this guqin together. They originally thought that from now on, Qin Se and Ming would be able to play it. They didn't expect that once she entered the palace and became the imperial concubine, this guqin would become the only one in his life …
The comfort accompanied him through most of the imperial court in the darkness.
It had been many years since they last saw each other. He no longer looked as handsome as he did in the past, and his figure was no longer tall and straight, and he had a head full of white hair. Only his elegant and tolerant aura remained unchanged: "Brother, have a safe journey."
"Alright." Wen Lixiao turned around, and immediately, a palace maid came forward to lead the way.
The King's eyes were dark as he looked at Wen Lixiao filled with ruthlessness. This man actually dared to lie to him! And royal father, why does he believe in Imperial Concubine Qi so much? Don't tell me he doesn't have a shred of doubt in his heart? Was he the only one who was wrong in everything he did?
Mu Yunyao watched quietly as Princess Yu gave her a signal and couldn't help but slightly nod her head.
Princess Yu relaxed and helped Imperial Concubine Qi up to their seats. "Mufei, since Uncle has already returned to the capital, there's still a chance for us to meet again in the future. "Ugh …"
As she spoke, she clutched her chest and retched.
Imperial Concubine Qi quickly looked over, "Fang Hua, what's wrong with you?"
"Mufei, I'm fine … "Ugh …"
Mu Yunyao walked up and pressed her hand on Princess Yu's wrist. After pausing for a moment, a bright smile appeared on her face, "Congratulations your majesty, congratulations your majesty. Princess Yu is delighted. According to my pulse, it should be nearly two months."
King Yu was startled and immediately became ecstatic: "There's hope? He was delighted! I'm going to be a father! " From his grief to his ecstasy, King Yu did not know how to react. If it were not for the circumstances, he would definitely have carried his wife around in his arms a few times.
When he heard this news, his expression gradually lightened up. In his heart, he had already treated King Yu as his next Crown Prince. Now that he had a son, he could be said to have successors.
The moment the Emperor's words came out, the surrounding people immediately burst into cheers of congratulations. In the blink of an eye, the unhappiness from before was overturned. Only the hatred in King Yu's heart grew. He swept his sinister gaze across King Yu and Princess Yu's bodies, his gaze filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
The Emperor's mood improved, and when he saw the joyous smile on Mu Yunyao's face, his tone became slightly more relaxed. "Yao`er, why haven't I seen you deliver a congratulatory gift to me?"
Mu Yunyao blinked, a warm and radiant smile on her face. "Reporting to your majesty, just now I was entranced by the congratulatory gifts that the princes sent over. I felt that I couldn't give them to them."
"Grandmother …" Mu Yunyao hurriedly looked towards Grand Princess Yi De with a wronged expression.
"Your Imperial Majesty, you are not permitted to punish my Yao'er. In order to prepare a gift for you, she has gone through a great deal of effort, to the point where even I feel astonished upon seeing her." Oh? Yao'er, quickly hand over your present. " The Emperor's heart was filled with curiosity. To be able to make his imperial sister say something breathtaking, it was clear that this gift was extraordinary.
