Wei Ziyao looked at the robe and hurriedly pushed it back. "No, no, no. You're too polite. It's not suitable for my child. You can keep it for yourself."
After retreating, Wei Ziyao dragged Ki Chien-chul and was about to run away, but Northern Wen Emperor stopped her.
"Don't, don't, don't be polite! Why are you being so polite with me? Hurry up! Let the child wear it! "
Bei Wen Emperor pushed the Crown Prince's robe back.
Wei Ziyao hurriedly ran away, letting the robe fall to the ground.
If this was in front of outsiders, it would be disgraceful, but the two of them didn't care at all.
"Look, don't be polite with me. If you really want to give it to us, you can give us gold, silver, and jewelry. We can't afford this. You'd better find someone else to deal with this hot potato."
Now, the position of Crown Prince was like sitting on pins and needles.
Wei Ziyao couldn't let Ki Chien-chul take on this matter.
"You really don't want it?" Northern Wen Emperor looked at the robe that was rejected and seemed a little lonely. "As a father, I always want to leave the best for my son. Unfortunately … my daughter-in-law doesn't appreciate it!"
Why did he make it sound as if Wei Ziyao was unfilial?
Wei Ziyao glared at him. "You have so many sons. You can leave them to anyone. Be good and go somewhere else to play."
"I know that the court is in turmoil now. It's not the best time to appoint a Crown Prince."
"But now, you need someone who can help you turn the tide. The other princes obviously can't do it."
Wei Ziyao looked at him, trying to see through his thoughts.
Because Northern Wen Emperor's actions were really beyond her expectations.
"No, I want … to appoint a Crown Prince while I can still control my body."
This … was a little cruel.
"What do you mean?" Wei Ziyao asked on purpose.
"While you were gone, Wei Yang and the rest have already told me everything that you have investigated. Since you have already discovered that there is a problem with Ziyuan, you should know how dangerous this woman is. Dealing with her for so long, obviously … I don't have the confidence to escape unscathed."
His words were too sincere. He didn't have the confidence to escape unscathed.
Hearing this, Wei Ziyao looked at Consort Duan. "Did you know this from the beginning, or did you slowly discover it after she came out?"
"Naturally, I discovered it slowly. I originally thought that I controlled her very well and cut off all contact with the outside world for more than twenty years. Who would have thought that she actually had such great ability to bribe the secret guard that was guarding her? If she hadn't schemed to frame Wei Heng and Consort Duan, I wouldn't have completely suspected her."
With that said, Wei Ziyao had a plan in mind.
It was because Ziyuan had harmed the two people that he trusted the most.
Compared to the betrayal of these two people, the Northern Wen Emperor could believe that anything in this world was impossible.
Ziyuan probably didn't expect such a strong relationship.
"Then … do you love her?"
Hearing Wei Ziyao ask this, the Northern Wen Emperor couldn't help but look at Consort Duan.
"When I was young … Perhaps I loved her. After all, the girls in the capital were all ladies of noble families and did things by the book. However, Ziyuan was different. Ziyuan was like the noon sun, dazzling and eye-catching, making people unable to look at her directly. It was understandable that such a girl could attract me when I was young.
It had to be said that the Northern Wen Emperor was daring enough to admit his actions. He knew that Consort Duan would like to hear what he said, but he still chose to tell the truth.
"Then what about Consort Duan in your heart? The Imperial Concubine Duan that I've heard of is not the well-behaved girl you described. "
"Between the two of them, Consort Duan is like a chivalrous woman with justice in her heart, while Ziyuan is a demoness with no bottom line … I was young at that time."
He was indeed honest. Wasn't he just blinded by the coquettish bitch?
"Then what about now? What are your feelings for Ziyuan? "
"Now?" The Northern Wen Emperor smiled bitterly. "When she was still under house arrest, I often thought of her. I wondered who she loved, whether she loved people or status. If she was given a chance to start over, would she still make the same choice? But after she was released, none of this was important. After the joy of meeting after a long time passed, all that was left was fear after waking up."
It was indeed fear.
A woman could be so vicious. And he had loved that woman when he was young. How could he not be afraid?
"Then can you tell me why you fell in love with Ziyuan?"
"Because at that time … In the mountains, she was almost killed by a sword in her abdomen while saving me. But later …"
"A sword in her abdomen? I didn't. "Wei Ziyao tried to recall what had happened during the physical examination.
"You're saying that there are no scars on her abdomen? It's normal. I used a jade cream on her. That medicine can remove scars … "
"No! I'm saying that she didn't suffer any serious sword wounds. Didn't I give everyone in the palace a physical examination? I'm sure that if she was injured, even if it's not obvious from the outside, there will be hardened scars on the inside. This won't heal no matter what. But Ziyuan didn't. "
"How is that possible?" The Northern Wen Emperor didn't believe Wei Ziyao's words.
Wei Ziyao looked at Consort Duan, then looked at the Northern Wen Emperor.
"Damn! It can't be that dramatic. "
"What's dramatic?" The Northern Wen Emperor was confused.
"I checked everyone in the palace. The only one who had a deep wound on her abdomen was Consort Duan. Because of this, her uterus was damaged and she couldn't have children for the rest of her life."
"What!?"
The Northern Wen Emperor was completely shocked by Wei Ziyao's words.
"Ziyao, you're not joking with me, right?"
"Do I look like I'm joking? I'm sure! And I heard Consort Duan tell my father that she couldn't have children because of an injury. You didn't know about this? "
Obviously, Consort Duan didn't dare to believe it.
"You … didn't know about this?"
"I … Should I know?" The Northern Wen Emperor was also stunned.
Concubine Duan froze for a moment and then sneered miserably.
"Ha! Ha! I thought you knew about it! I thought you knew, yet you still forced me to have children with you. You were trying to embarrass me. "
"I … Why would I? We thought that you were unwilling to give birth to a child with us because you still hold a grudge against us for separating you and Wei Heng back then. This … "
Consort Duan's tears fell.
"Do you know why I risked my life to adopt Che 'er? It was because … I was already pregnant when I was injured. "
Hearing this, the Northern Wen Emperor's tears also fell.
It turned out that the two of them already had a child. The reason he fell in love with that woman was also a misunderstanding. It could even be said that it was a conspiracy.
It turned out that they were already in the palm of that woman's hand!
