Chapter 250 Everyone is a tool man
Queen Mother Qi panicked instantly and rushed to prepare to greet him.
But when he reached the door, he seemed to have remembered something, stopped his feet, and just stood in the door, waiting for Emperor Tianwu and his son to come in.
Before Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chenan came in, they waved their hands, and Lu Daban immediately asked everyone to leave, leaving only the Empress Dowager Qi and her son.
The Empress Dowager Qi bowed down in a concubine manner, exposing her slender neck and looking weak and pitiful.
Fu Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked back at the palace attendants who had retreated after serving tea. Then he strode in and sat on the heated Kang without shouting.
Fu Chenan followed suit and sat on the other side of his father as if he hadn't seen it.
Queen Mother Qi, who was still kneeling by the door, was dumbfounded: What do you mean? !
Fu Zhonghai took a leisurely sip of tea before speaking, his tone unhurried.
"I heard that you want to go on a hunger strike and starve yourself to death. I thought that in that case, it wouldn't be worse to kneel for a while longer."
Qi Rongrong's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she knelt upright by the door, looking pitiful and stubborn.
"I just...I just kept saying that I wanted to see you, but those slaves...they refused to let me know..."
Fu Zhonghai glanced at her condescendingly: "I and An'er have taken charge of this world. The national treasury is empty and people's livelihood is in decline. I take care of everything every day and dare not slack off..."
"You want to see me and An'er because there is something more important than the national economy and people's livelihood?"
Qi Rongrong was choked and paused before saying: "I just want to settle down..."
Want yourself? !
Fu Chenan pursed his lips and chuckled, his tone colder than ever before.
"After all these years, do you still regard Gu as a bargaining chip and excuse to enslave your father?"
"Do you think Gu will still believe it?"
"Or do you think Gu is still the six-year-old child who begged you not to leave?"
Qi Rongrong froze at this question and looked at Fu Chenan in horror, not knowing what he was going to say.
Fu Chenan became a little excited.
"My father tried his best to be good to you. For the Lingluo you wanted, he went into the mountains to fight big insects all night long..."
"I'm so obedient, I'll do whatever you ask me to do, even if it's snowy and I'm standing barefoot outside the door and freezing, just to help you blackmail my father into listening to you..."
"But you are still not satisfied. You left us in the palace and gave birth to the seventh prince."
"In order to find him a backer and helper, you planned to make him worship me as his teacher, messing up the seniority, just to make my father and son work for him and be his backing."
"You say you miss me now? Do you think I will believe it?"
Qi Rongrong was speechless and muttered aggrievedly: "I'm just not willing to be. I'm not willing to be a pig butcher's wife for the rest of my life..."
"Who knew you would get to where you are today?!"
"If I had known this earlier, I would naturally be willing to accompany you..."
She didn't speak loudly, but it was enough for everyone present to hear.
Fu Zhonghai lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea without any trouble in his eyes.
It seemed that the woman kneeling down was not his son's biological mother, but a strange woman telling a strange story.
Fu Chenan's eyes finally became moist: "In your heart, my father and I are always just tools! What kind of affection do you have for me!?"
The young prince seemed to find it embarrassing to cry in front of her. He turned and looked out the window, refusing to let her see him crying.
Fu Zhonghai felt distressed and then looked at Qi Rongrong: "Get up."
Qi Rongrong stood up with difficulty with the help of King Ping'an.
Fu Zhonghai looked at King Ping An, who had been silent. There was caution on the boy's immature face, and he did not dare to look at the tall and mighty emperor, only looking down at the ground.
"King Ping'an?" Fu Zhonghai shouted.
King Ping An seemed to have come back to his senses in an instant and hurriedly knelt down: "I am here!" "What do you think of what your mother did?"
King Ping'an didn't even look at Qi Rongrong before he answered decisively: "She didn't do it right back then."
"Later, she hid it from me and asked me to become the disciple of His Highness, which was not right either."
"Now that she is trying to use her relationship with the prince to blackmail His Majesty and His Royal Highness, it is even more wrong."
"I tried to persuade you, but I couldn't..."
After King Ping An finished speaking, everyone at the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Qi Rongrong looked in disbelief at this little son whom she treated with all her heart and soul, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"Xu'er, you clearly know...you clearly know..."
Mom did everything for you, how could you put all the blame on Mom? !
King Ping An seemed to be offended. He pursed his lips and glared at Qi Rongrong: "I don't know!"
"If you were really doing it for my own good, you should have told me about my relationship with His Royal Highness!"
"It won't mess up the seniority!"
"He should have been my half-brother! But you asked him to accept me as his apprentice..."
These words seemed to accuse Qi Rongrong, but Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chenan were not stupid, and they both heard that King Ping An was reminding them.
The twelve-year-old child in front of him is Fu Chenan's half-brother.
And he didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end. He did all this because he was deceived and because he didn't know...
Fu Zhonghai asked King Ping'an to stand up: "That's it, everything is over..."
King Ping An stood up and showed a look of tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance..."
Fu Zhonghai was not in the mood to act with a twelve-year-old child, and looked at Qi Rongrong again with a serious expression.
"I brought the prince here today because I want to explain something clearly to you in person."
"If you don't want to live, the beam is not locked, and the manhole is not covered, I can even ask the Taiyuan Hospital to give you a pair of medicines that will allow you to survive without pain..."
"I can prepare the white silk, dagger, and poison for you. If you want to die, you can die at any time."
"I will never hold you back, nor will I anger King Ping An and the palace officials outside."
"But before you die, there is no need for anyone to report it to me and the prince."
"I don't need to care too much about people who don't care about me and the prince."
Qi Rongrong was dumbfounded and looked at Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chenan blankly: How could they... be so heartless? !
How could you say such cruel words!
Qi Rongrong's face turned pale as she complained in disbelief: "Even if there are all kinds of things wrong with me, I am still An'er's biological mother..."
"How could you..."
Fu Zhonghai pointed in the direction outside the door: "On that day, the late emperor ordered all the concubines to die, why did you stay alone? You didn't know?"
"For you, An'er and I are just your tools..."
"To the late Emperor, you are nothing more than a tool."
"It was the tool he used to disgust me back then!"
"Later, you became the tool for his survival!"
"If you weren't An'er's biological mother, he thought I would be merciful to you and your children. Do you think the late emperor would choose Prince Ping An as emperor? Do you think you can still live?"
"You and King Ping'an are just means for him to save his life!"
"It's just that he didn't expect that I don't care about his methods at all!"
"You have never cared about us as father and son, and you are worthy enough to let me and An'er remember your affection?!"
