"I don't know how far you've investigated. In fact, Ziyuan is a member of the Poison Immortal Sect, so … half of Che 'er's blood is from the Poison Immortal Sect. That's why the emperor has always been unwilling to put him in an important position. Even when Che' er was just born, the emperor wanted to drown him because he didn't want to raise a child with the Poison Immortal Sect's blood. I was the one who protected him and raised him by my side until now. Ziyuan also knew about this matter back then …"
"So, she used the emperor's intention to kill Ki Chien-chul as a threat to force you to stay away from Ki Chien-chul. Otherwise, she'll use this matter to drive a wedge between father and son?" Wei Ziyao boldly guessed.
"That's right." Consort Duan nodded. "In the past, because of me, Che 'er had always endured and kept a low profile. He gave up many good opportunities to protect me. Now that the emperor has finally changed his opinion of him, I definitely can't let him lose these opportunities again."
Now that the problem was out in the open, Wei Ziyao clearly knew what Consort Duan was thinking. She also understood.
"Mother, you are a responsibility to Ki Chien-chul. Because you are his mother, the country is also a responsibility to him. Because he is the current imperial prince, he should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country. So, there is no comparison. Can't he do both? If Ziyuan wants to drive a wedge between father and son, she's still too inexperienced. Not only must you have confidence in your son, you must also have confidence in your man! "
When Wei Ziyao said this, Consort Duan's face instantly turned red.
"Wh-what man? Little girl, don't make fun of your mother! "
Looking at her bashful expression, Wei Ziyao had never seen her like this before.
"Aiyo, Mother, don't be shy with me. My father has already told me everything clearly. Back then, you and the emperor were like dry firewood, so why have you become the most familiar stranger now? There must be a villain behind this. I'm good at beating up third parties. Think about that Ruier, then think about that Wen Wan, and that Wei Mingyue. Look, I have a perfect record. "
Wei Ziyao said that to reassure Consort Duan, but her expression became even worse.
"Ziyao, did you know? The reason why you were able to win had nothing to do with how strong you were. That was because Che 'er allowed you to win. He loved you, his thoughts were all on you, so it would be hard for you not to win even if you wanted to. But on the other hand, what if a man's thoughts were not on you? Even if you use all your skills, he won't even look at you. "
Full of tricks?
"Not necessarily, Mufei. When have you ever used all your tricks on the Emperor? Haven't you always treated him coldly?"
"If I knew he didn't trust me, why would I be so lowly …"
Look, this is the love between two tsundere, it's not a long-term plan.
"He has so many beauties in his harem, and there's also a drop of blood in his heart that can never be erased, Ziyuan. He said it himself, that bad woman is unforgettable. My opponent is so strong, rather than humiliating myself, it's better to … let go early."
"Mufei, your way of thinking is wrong. Isn't it easy to remember for a lifetime? Remembering for a lifetime doesn't mean loving for a lifetime. As for the matter of the beauties in his harem … I'm going to say something wrong. He's the Emperor, the representative of men, an uneducated representative of men. Can you still expect him to be monogamous? "
"Although I don't know if he really loves those concubines, I can see that his feelings for you are not ordinary. I don't want to speak for him, I want to help you. Why don't … we test him when we go back. If he loves you, we'll hold the initiative in our hands and control him. If he doesn't love you, I'll think of a way to help you get out of the palace and return your freedom. How about that?"
When Consort Duan heard this, she pondered for a moment and finally nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll ask you."
Consort Duan didn't doubt Wei Ziyao's ability. Since Wei Ziyao said that she could get her out of the palace, she definitely could.
Since she couldn't get his heart, why waste her life? Then it's better for them to separate. It'll be quiet outside the palace.
In fact, Wei Ziyao had a cheap mouth. She wanted to tease her, but then she remembered that Consort Duan had just opened her heart. She didn't want to ruin everything just because she was cheap.
"Okay, then let's go eat breakfast. You've been sleeping for so long, you should be hungry, right?"
"Yes, I am."
