Chapter 122 Adding salt to the wound
The queen looked stunned, not very moved.
In her opinion, these people mentioning her son, the crown prince, over and over again was nothing but rubbing salt into her wounds.
She couldn't save her own son, let alone her grandson. If her grandson had not been lost and was alive and well, he would surely have become a talented young man like the prince.
Unfortunately, they lost her grandson. After two years of searching for him without success, they concluded that he was dead.
There is also the Crown Princess. Her husband died, and she lost her son. She has become stupid and crazy. In the huge Crown Prince's Mansion, she is the only one left.
If her grandson were still alive, he would be about 6 years old now.
The Queen's eyes turned bloodshot. She took a deep breath and finally suppressed the crazy hatred in her heart.
He pulled the corner of his mouth tightly, "Mother, these things are in the past. The prince has been dead for several years. I should let it go."
Yes, it's time to let it go, but she doesn't want to let go any of the culprits who harmed her son.
The second prince, the third prince, even the old concubine in front of him and even her husband.
These people deserved to die. Why were her sons and grandchildren the only ones to die? Why were they still alive and well? She was unwilling to accept this!
Her mood gradually calmed down. Now was not the right time. She had to wait, wait patiently, live to the end, and see what would become of them.
The princess looked at her mother worriedly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her mother calm down.
What a bunch of people! It’s already pitiful enough that the Queen Mother lost her brother, but they still want to rub salt into her wounds.
The old concubine seemed very satisfied with the queen's answer, and then she pulled Yu'er over and said, "This is a little girl I met when I was guarding the imperial mausoleum. She is 18 years old this year and looks pretty."
"She saved my life, so I gave her the surname Chu and asked her to follow me from now on."
"She was an orphan since she was young. Her family was poor. Later, her family could not afford to support her, so they abandoned her. I felt sorry for her, so I took her in."
The old concubine looked at Yu'er kindly, "Her name is Chuyu. I hope you won't treat her as a maid in the future."
"I taught her all by myself, and she will not bring shame to the royal family."
Chu Yu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, empress and all the concubines. Her polite appearance made people feel good about her.
The emperor was puzzled. What did the old concubine mean? Was it an adopted daughter? But if it was a daughter, wouldn't the age difference be too big?
But her attitude was not right. Thinking about the question she asked about Prince Han's marriage before, she immediately understood the meaning of the old concubine's words.
It has to be said that the emperor has revealed the truth. He now has complicated thoughts in his mind. His mother introduced this woman to Prince Han. Does she think highly of Prince Han?
Brother Chen is younger than him. If the old queen dowager helps Prince Han in the future, he will still have a chance to inherit the throne, as long as there is no legitimate heir.
The emperor's eyelids twitched. What did it mean? It was fine that his sons were eyeing the throne, but even the cold prince had his eyes on it?
The old concubine's words were ambiguous, but no one dared to question Chu Yu's identity and status.
The queen arranged a residence for her according to her status as a princess, but Chu Yu refused, "Your Majesty, I just want to serve the Concubine Dowager. I just want to live in the Concubine Dowager's compartment."
The voice was gentle and he seemed very filial, at least that's what the old concubine thought.
"Okay, let her live with me, but she must have everything she needs."
The Queen withdrew her gaze from Chu Yu and nodded quickly to indicate that she understood.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the old concubine looked tired, everyone quickly said goodbye and left.
After leaving the yard, everyone from top to bottom breathed a sigh of relief. The old concubine was so oppressive that even the emperor felt uncomfortable around her, let alone the women in the harem.
The emperor had some government affairs to attend to, so he left first. A bunch of people left in a rush, leaving only the queen and the concubines.
The second prince's mother walked to the side of the queen, with gorgeous jewellery on her head and gorgeous clothes on her body.
The way she walked gracefully made her look more like a queen than the empress, the mistress of the harem.
After the death of the crown prince, the queen mainly wore simple and elegant clothes and had very few head ornaments.
"Sister, don't be sad. The prince has been dead for many years. It's a pity that you are old now. Otherwise, you can have another child. After all, it's not good for the princess to have no brother to help her."
The Second Prince's mother spoke in a sarcastic tone, with a smile on her lips, but every word was heart-wrenching.
The queen looked at him coldly. My son is dead, but can your son be the crown prince? After all, the emperor hasn't issued an imperial decree yet.
The queen was too lazy to speak. She just walked past her and said something to everyone, then left.
The Second Prince's mother was so angry that her teeth were itching. The other party actually dared to ignore her.
She dug her nails into her palms, snorted coldly, turned and left without saying a word, with a proud look on her face.
The other concubines looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought the Second Prince's mother was too arrogant and not as kind as the Empress.
The Queen and the Princess returned to their own courtyards one after another, dismissed everyone, and only their own confidants were left.
The Queen then allowed herself to sink into sadness. Her eyes were red, her face was distorted, and her teeth were almost broken.
"How dare they? How dare they gloat over someone else's misfortune? If it weren't for them, how could my son have died?"
The princess sighed and hugged her mother, "Mother, don't cry yet. The sadder you are, the more they will gloat over your misfortune."
"The most important thing now is to help King Han fight for that position. The only way to do that is to prevent them from getting what they want!"
The princess gnashed her teeth and said, "Aren't they eyeing that position? We just don't want to let them have their way and destroy what they value."
The queen wiped her eyes and said, "Yes, that's it. Wait for your mother to write to Prince Han."
The princess shook her head and said, "Mother, the uncle of the cold prince has a plan. There are spies everywhere in the capital now, and the old concubine may also be targeting the cold prince."
"That Chu Yu is not simple, let's not act rashly."
She thought with a smile, "It's good for Prince Han to leave at this time. If he is forced to marry Chu Yu, it may not be a good thing!"
The Queen nodded and sighed, "I don't know if your little aunt can handle the pressure, but please hold on and don't get into trouble."
Mu Qingqing's identity is too special, and many people are watching her. Any slight movement will be noticed.
"Don't worry, mother. A woman that the emperor's uncle values must not be simple. Everything will be fine!"
Mu Qingqing, who was favored by the two men, was shopping with her best friend at this time. She always felt that her leisurely days were going far away from her.
The two talked for a while and then changed the subject. The harem is now full of dangers and they can't hide away just because they want to.
On the second day, all the concubines in the harem were supposed to pay their respects to the old concubine dowager, but the old concubine did not pass on the message and simply exempted them from doing so.
They said she liked quietness and didn’t want to get up early when she got old.
