Chapter 739: Beginning of the Game
Ji Yuntang said: "Empress, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
"If I'm not mistaken, King Nan Xiao must be very eager to see Concubine Li now, but Concubine Li doesn't dare to meet him."
"Because the emperor already knows that she is pregnant with his child. If Concubine Li goes to see King Nan Xiao, then the child will most likely not be saved. After all, King Nan Xiao will not allow Concubine Li to cheat on him."
"Li Fei must also know the temperament of the King of Nan Xiao, and she dare not easily meet him. So in this case, if the King of Nan Xiao wants to meet Li Fei again, what will he do?"
Without waiting for the queen to answer, Luo Junhe said, "He will take the initiative to come to the palace to find Concubine Li."
"Of course, I came here secretly."
Prince Nan Xiao has not entered the palace for more than 20 years. As Concubine Li's adulterer, he certainly wouldn't dare to come to her openly.
Therefore, he would sneak into the Weiyang Palace secretly and would not be discovered by Emperor Jingyang.
After listening to what Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang said, the queen suddenly had an idea in her mind and instantly understood what they meant.
"Jun He, Yun Tang, are you saying that Prince Nan Xiao will definitely come to the palace to look for Concubine Li in the next few days, and then you want me to bring people to catch the adulterer?"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is really smart. This is what I meant."
The queen was delighted and reacted immediately.
"I understand what you mean. I will send someone to keep an eye on Weiyang Palace."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Luo Junhe and said in a gentle voice: "Junhe, don't worry, your mother will definitely help you get justice for the grievances you have suffered over the years."
"However they bullied you, your mother will definitely make them pay back tenfold or a hundredfold, and your suffering will not be in vain."
Luo Junhe stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently hugged the queen. He said: "Mother, I want to avenge my vengeance myself. There is no need for you to intervene."
"As long as my mother, grandfather, and Qingge are safe and sound, I will be satisfied."
What Luo Junhe is extremely thankful for now is that Concubine Li and the Crown Prince have not had time to take action against the Queen and Tutor Su.
They acted in time to prevent this tragedy from happening.
When the queen heard what Luo Junhe said, she felt a dull pain in her chest.
His fate was replaced since he was born. Although it was his destiny to be the emperor, he was forced to suffer all kinds of hardships.
If this kind of thing happened to anyone, I'm afraid no one would accept it easily.
However, Luo Junhe behaved surprisingly calmly.
The queen knew that under such calmness, he must have endured pain that ordinary people could not endure, which honed his will.
She only hated that she discovered it too late, which almost caused her to lose her most precious son.
"Jun He, your mother will definitely do her best to compensate you in the future."
"If you want anything, you can tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Luo Junhe looked at the queen and said softly, "Mother, I don't want anything. I just want my loved ones to be by my side."
"As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."
When he said this, he even turned his head to look at Ji Yuntang, with a hint of tenderness in his peach blossom eyes.
Ji Yuntang also looked at him with a smile.
She knew that at this moment, Luo Junhe must be happy.
When he entered the palace today, Ji Yuntang could sense that Luo Junhe was still nervous.
However, after recognizing the queen and talking things out, the tension disappeared.
Instead, there is relaxation and pleasure.
Ji Yuntang thought, Luo Junhe should also be looking forward to this kind of maternal love in his heart, right?
Seeing that the two sides were almost done reminiscing about the past, she said to the queen: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing I want to tell you."
"Your Highness, please keep your relationship with A He a secret for now and don't tell anyone."
The queen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
She knew that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe must have other plans.
If the news leaks out now, it will alert the enemy.
Most likely, their plans will also be affected.
After the three of them finished discussing, the Queen arranged for someone to prepare a large table of food, and left Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang to dine in Fengyi Palace.
This was the first time that Luo Junhe had dined with the Queen, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
So this is what it feels like to dine with your mother.
The queen kept putting food into Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang's bowls.
After the meal, everyone was filled with joy.
After Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe left Fengyi Palace, the Queen immediately called Nanny An who was beside her.
She said, "Go and arrange for someone to keep a close eye on the movements in Weiyang Palace. If you see any suspicious faces sneaking into Weiyang Palace, send someone to inform me immediately."
Although Nanny An was puzzled by the Queen's actions, she did not ask any more questions. Instead, she went downstairs immediately and did as she was told.
Weiyang Palace.
Concubine Li was kneeling in the Buddhist temple, with her hands clasped together, eyes slightly closed, and muttering something.
If you listen carefully, you can hear what she says clearly.
"I beg the Buddha to bless the prince to be safe and sound, to be released by Emperor Jingyang as soon as possible, and to sit on the throne as soon as possible."
"I beg the Buddha to bless me, and King Nan Xiao will love me as before, and not misunderstand me or get angry with me."
"I beg the Buddha to bless us so that Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang will never discover the truth. I hope that the plans that I and King Nan Xiao have made over the years will be realized soon."
"..."
Concubine Li knelt in the Buddhist temple for a long time and made many wishes.
It was not until it was completely dark that she stood up with the help of Jianlan.
She glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's been so long without me noticing."
That’s right, it has been three days since Prince Nan Xiao wrote the letter and asked Concubine Li to go to Huayang Temple.
During these three days, she didn't sleep well every night and was awakened by nightmares every time.
In the dream, Luo Junhe put a knife to her neck and asked her why she wanted to replace him with Luo Jingshen.
It was King Nan Xiao who grabbed her neck and asked her why she betrayed him and why she was pregnant with Emperor Jingyang's child?
Almost every time Concubine Li closed her eyes, she would be awakened by such scenes in her dreams.
To the extent that, even though she felt sleepy now, she didn't dare close her eyes and sleep.
Kneeling in front of the Buddha made her feel more at ease.
Jian Lan advised: "Empress Li, you are still pregnant, it is not a good idea to kneel like this for a long time, you should go to bed and lie down for a while."
Emperor Jingyang knew that Concubine Li was pregnant, so he did not come to Weiyang Palace to sleep with her for the past few days.
