"Then this concubine will take her leave first."
Consort Duan didn't defend herself from the beginning to the end. When the Emperor asked her to leave, she didn't say anything and just got up and left.
It was as if … taking off her hairpin and asking for forgiveness was something she should do, and leaving mechanically was something he should do.
"Old Sixth, you now know that Consort Duan isn't your birth mother. She raised you when you were young, but she didn't care about you when you grew up. Now that your birth mother is back, why don't you be adopted by her?"
The Emperor said such cruel words calmly. Ki Chien-chul had expected him to say this.
"Replying to Imperial Father, although Consort Duan gave birth to me, she also raised me. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here today. The Imperial Noble Consort gave birth to me and brought me to this world. I can't repay her kindness. Both of them are my mother, and there's no such thing as who will be adopted by me. Consort Duan will always be my mother."
This was the principle that Ki Chien-chul couldn't back down.
Now, they couldn't judge what happened back then. How did Ki Chien-chul end up under Consort Duan? How did Zi Yuan end up trapped in the palace?
It wasn't who was right or wrong. Ki Chien-chul couldn't make a conclusion, but he knew that Consort Duan was someone he couldn't let down in his life.
"You …" The Emperor looked at him and frowned. Wei Ziyao also knelt down.
"Imperial Father, as his wife, this daughter-in-law supports my husband's choice. The Imperial Noble Consort gave him life, and Consort Duan raised him. The kindness between the two is immeasurable. They are both mothers!"
The Emperor could understand why Ki Chien-chul would say such words. After all, his relationship with Consort Duan was there. For so many years, he had seen how the mother and son helped each other.
However, the Northern Wen Emperor had never expected Wei Ziyao to say the same thing.
In the mind of the Northern Wen Emperor, Wei Ziyao was a smart person who only cared about profits. She would never let anyone harm her interests. However, saying such words at this moment was extremely stupid.
But he couldn't refute their filial piety in public.
"Since the two of you have filial piety, then let's do as the two of you said. Show your filial piety to your mother."
"Yes!"
The two of them kowtowed, and the farce was temporarily over.
But today, the Emperor was holding a banquet in the palace and invited Wei Heng to eat.
Wei Ziyao was also a member of the Wei family. Since she was on the invitation list, there was no need for her to leave the palace.
While waiting for the meal to start, Wei Ziyao knew that she wouldn't be able to sit still. Sure enough, the Emperor sent someone to invite her.
After a whole day of jolting in the carriage, Wei Ziyao was already feeling a little uncomfortable. Now that it was almost dusk, she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.
Li You Pai, who was eating with the Old Madame in the lounge, was called to the Emperor by Eunuch Fu.
"Imperial Father."
Seeing the Emperor's livid face, he knew that something bad would happen today.
Just as he had expected …
