Chapter 2 Cuckold
Cui Xiu never expected that he had helped his son for so many years to make wedding clothes for others.
As for her own biological son, she still doesn’t know where she is doing backbreaking labor. When she thinks of this, Cui Xiu feels her heart twist into a knot.
The expression on his face changes as he clutches the lapel on his chest, showing pain, hesitation, and indescribable discomfort, intertwining these emotions together.
Cui Xiu raised the corners of his lips at the end and laughed like crazy.
This is really a big joke!
"I treated you like that, why did you treat Aijia like this!"
"I treated you very well. In the first few years when you entered the palace, if I hadn't helped you , I’m afraid you won’t survive today!”
Like a pool of stagnant water, Cui Xiu took her last breath to question Concubine Ning. She couldn’t figure out why Concubine Ning was like this even if she thought about it. treat her.
"Sister, I will always remember how well you treated me."
"But I also have my own difficulties. When I first entered the palace, I was just a talented person. My child could only be given away after birth to be raised by someone I didn't know at all. How could I rest assured? When I was desperate At that time, the Queen arranged for me to live next to your palace. You are a good person. You helped me a lot, and I will remember it in my heart."
"I thought about what it would be like if my child was under your lap. By keeping him, I can see him every day and give him a better future. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
"God is really generous and sent me a sister. You are such a kind-hearted person. "
Concubine Ning said, not feeling anything wrong with her words at all. The more she said it, the more she felt that her plan made sense.
But I don’t know how heartbreaking these words are to Cui Xiu’s ears. Because she is very kind to her, so she wants to harm her? Want to replace her child?
Cui Xiu's face turned pale. He raised his trembling hand and pointed at Concubine Ning. His eyes subconsciously narrowed and he took a breath, trying his best to calm down the resentment in his heart.
Cui Xiu opened his eyes and gently exhaled his breath. The corners of his lips trembled. Just as he was about to speak, he was blocked by Concubine Ning's words.
“Sister, you don’t have to look at me like this. If it weren’t for my son, you wouldn’t be sitting in the position of Queen Mother now. You still have to be grateful to my Brother Yan.”
"After all, your biological son is not the flesh and blood of the late emperor. Even if you keep him by your side, he will never have the chance to become a great treasure."
"It might even lead to annihilation. ”
These words hit Cui Xiu's heart like a bolt from the blue. Is he going to use any means necessary to justify the crime he committed?
How could her son not be the flesh and blood of the late emperor?
She is the late emperor's concubine. Although there is no love between them, they are still husband and wife. Although it is only once, it is once.
"The late emperor has known about your affair with Xu Guogong for a long time. If your Cui family had not had deep roots in the court and could be used, do you think you could survive to this day? Can you? Sitting in the position of the Queen Mother?”
“Sister, you must not be too selfish and greedy, you must know how to be satisfied”
What? Is she having an affair with Xu Guogong?
How is that possible.
She and Li Qun, Duke of Xu, were childhood sweethearts. When she was a girl at home, Li Qun studied in her private school. Their exchanges were not much, but they left a deep impression on her, because she rarely met Li Qun. A group of such carefree and unrestrained young men.
Maybe Li Qun is different from her brothers, and different from the late emperor. He is very forward-thinking and will never look down on her just because she is a girl.
He once said that if she were a man, there might be another storm in the court, but she just laughed it off at the time.
Concubine Ning's words brought back Cui Xiu's memories. The only time she had sex with the late emperor was after the dinner he had when he came back from Jiangnan. Li Qun did go to the palace for the banquet that day.
But there was no communication between them. They just sat in their respective seats, eating soup and drinking wine.
After getting drunk, Cui Xiu took leave from the emperor and went back to the palace to rest. She was not a beloved concubine, and the emperor would not disagree with her request. After she returned to the palace, she rested .
A man did appear behind her, but she was so sleepy that she didn’t think it was another man. I don’t think it could be another man.
This is an imperial palace, not just a palace with hooks and tiles. Apart from the emperor, there should be no other man who can easily enter the concubine's chamber.
In fact, she was also surprised at that time why the emperor came to her palace.
She has been married to the palace for many years and is not favored. It is good to come here once or twice a year. Every time the emperor comes, he only chats with her and nothing else.
She just thought that maybe the emperor was tired of going to the palace of his beloved concubines, so he came to the palace like them to improve his "taste". Cui Xiu knew that she could not read the emperor's mind. She only knew that since she had entered the palace, she had to serve the emperor dutifully. If the emperor came, then she would fulfill her responsibilities as a concubine. If the emperor did not come, then she would She just lived her life peacefully.
She is unwilling to compete for favor because people's hearts are unpredictable.
But after having a child, she had to fight again.
When you become a mother, you must have the consciousness of being a mother. You must fully understand that "parents love their children for far-reaching purposes." Even if she is unwilling to fight, she cannot continue willfully. If she does not fight, Then her child will die in the struggle.
But now that everything has settled, someone came out to tell her that she was raising someone else's child.
And her biological child is now suffering outside. Her child's biological father is not the late emperor, but Xu Guogong Li Qun.
Who dares to believe this if I say it.
After a long time, she actually cuckolded the late emperor.
The important thing is that the person who was cuckolded knew about it earlier than she did. No wonder, for so many years, she never knew that she was raising Ning Cai's child.
Without the late emperor’s acquiescence and protection, it would have been impossible for Concubine Ning to have kept this secret from her for so many years.
Let her work hard and plan for so many years in vain.
Does Li Qun know about this?
Cui Xiu couldn't guess, but an answer subconsciously emerged in her mind. Li Qun should know that her child was his.
It’s just that he didn’t know what Concubine Ning was up to. Maybe he was deceived by Concubine Ning and the late Emperor just like her.
I mistook Brother Yan for Brother Cheng.
Actually, Cui Xiu has always been curious about one thing, that is, Li Ruoyan's path from prince to prince, and then from prince to emperor was too smooth.
The success made her wonder if it was too smooth.
None of the princes who opposed Li Ruoyan could stay around for a few days, and they were all solved with various mistakes.
Like a brainless child.
That's the prince. Everyone is a human being. He was born in the royal family and has eighteen crystal hearts. How could he be so weak?
Now that I think about it, everything makes sense.
It turns out that Li Ruoyan's path to the throne was not only protected by her Cui family, but also helped by the late emperor and Duke Xu. Almost most of the courtiers stood by Li Ruoyan's side.
Someone is rushing to pave the way for Li Ruoyan, can this road not be smooth?
Obviously it won’t work even if things go wrong.
This is really a big deal for Concubine Ning!
“It’s such a good life. My sister has lived most of her life. It’s time for me to enjoy the rest of my life as a sister.”
“You’re good to go. .”
On the bed, a woman in white plain clothes lay there, her arms hanging down on the side of the bed, looking at the dying Concubine Ning who was smiling and smiling, her heart full of resentment.
She was pissed to death by Concubine Ning, and she was also pissed to death by her own stupidity.
In this deep palace, everyone has their own destiny. She should not "help the poor" or try to change the destiny of others.
All the hard work she put in was given away overnight.
More than ten years of plans to seize the direct heir have exhausted the vitality of the Cui family. Her father, mother, brother, sister, nephews and nephews are all gone.
Now that her death is approaching, how can she still have the nerve to go to the underworld to meet their family?
She is not willing to give in!
If there is an afterlife, she will never be a good person again.
