After Yung Heng returned to the hotel, he recalled what had happened today and felt that something was strange.
Thinking about the Guanyin jade pendant carefully, Rong Ting must have stolen it from his secret room when he was not paying attention. He must have known that he had seen the jade pendant today. With Rong Ting's character, he would never keep quiet about it. Even if he was in a state of "amnesia", there was only one possibility. Rong Ting had deliberately placed the jade pendant there.
He knew that his son was very smart, both academically and open-mindedly, far better than him when he was young. However, he did not expect that Song Yuan, Song Haiping, and Chen Linjing did not suspect him. Instead, it was his son, who was not even six years old, who suspected him and even used such a method to test him.
For a moment, Yung Heng did not know whether he should laugh or not.
He was a little curious about what Rong Ting's conclusion would be.
Based on his understanding of Rong Ting, he thought that he would tell her, or perhaps he had already told her. With this guess in mind, it seemed to make sense that something was wrong with her today. It seemed that it was natural for a mother to be close to her son. Even if he had spent more time with Rong Ting, Rong Ting still favored her in his heart and still liked her more.
He had thought of every possible situation in advance. Now that Rong Ting suspected him, or had concluded that he was pretending to have amnesia, he knew how to deal with it. At the moment, what made him more nervous than this was whether she had seen the pair of diamond earrings.
If she had seen it, would she like it?
If she had not seen it, when would she see it?
Rong Ting picked up the phone and turned on the screen to check the time. It was half past eight. It had been almost an hour since he left. Did she go to the bathroom during this time?
He waited and waited until it was nine o 'clock. He glanced at his WeChat. There was no message from her, and she did not call. It was already so late. She should have finished showering by now. Did she really not see it? Could it be that he had placed it in an inconspicuous position, so she did not see it?
He stood up and walked around the suite. When he passed by the full-length mirror and saw his slightly anxious face, he could not help but be stunned.
How long had it been since he was so worried about his gains and losses? After he came to his senses, he laughed at himself.
He suddenly thought of the past. At that time, she did not know his identity and they had just made their feelings known. Her way of thinking was different from others. She was a straightforward person who spoke whatever was on her mind. Occasionally, when he said something that displeased her, she would argue with him. At that time, he only thought of her as the adopted daughter of the General's residence. He could hear her weariness of the feudal era and her dissatisfaction with the rules of the dynasty. While he was shocked, he could not help but want to suppress her temper, to make her cautious in her words and actions, to make her become more mature. Quarrels were unavoidable. There was once when the two of them quarreled very fiercely and neither of them was willing to lower their heads. When had he ever lowered his head in front of others? At that time, he was so angry that he left.
She, on the other hand, was still trying to provoke him by saying, "Go, go! Don't come back if you leave! "
He had never heard such words in his life. In his anger, he returned to the Eastern Palace and smashed a tea set. It was still difficult to appease the anger in his heart. He could not sleep at night and tossed and turned in bed. He was the Crown Prince, the future master of the world. No one should think of bowing to him.
A few days later, his anger gradually subsided. It went from a big fire to a medium fire to a small fire. In the end, there was not even a spark left. He missed her and could only dejectedly run to the General's Manor to look for her. At that time, he had thought it through. If she was also frowning, he would forgive her. After all, as a man, what was the point of being angry with his woman?
In the end, he found her playing cards with someone and was very happy. She was so happy that she did not want to go home. Not to mention frowning, her face was rosy. Where was the anxiety of not seeing him for a few days?
At that time, he was also angry. He turned and prepared to leave. After a few steps, he stopped and smiled helplessly.
He did not know when she had come out of the room. She was leaning against the door as if she had lost her memory. She was still complaining to him. "Ziheng, I lost a lot of money. I have no money."
Now that he thought about it, he always thought that everything was in his hands. He was so sure that he was too arrogant. He didn't realize that from the beginning to the end, he was the one who was in her hands.
***
Rong Ting could not sleep at night. He tossed and turned in bed. Probably because he ate a little too much that night, he felt a little bloated. He simply got up and prepared to practice his writing and read. The lights here were very bright. Reading at night would not harm his eyes. He just got up. When he passed by Song Yuan's bedroom, he saw light coming through the crack of the door. He guessed that she was still awake. Thinking about what happened this afternoon, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand to knock on the door. "Mother, are you asleep?"
Song Yuan was still in a daze. When she heard her son's voice coming from the door, she quickly sat up. "Although I'm not asleep yet, I won't stay up late!"
She did not have the dignity of a mother at all. Usually, she would go online at night like a thief, afraid that her son would find out and nag her again.
"Mother, I can't sleep either. Can I come in and talk to you?"
Song Yuan was surprised. "Ah, then come in!"
Rong Ting opened the door and entered. Song Yuan lifted the blanket and patted the spot next to her. "Come, come up. Lie down with Mother. Don't catch a cold."
Rong Ting was still a little embarrassed. He felt that he was already so old, yet he was still sleeping in the same bed as Mother …
The next second, he decisively took off his slippers and climbed onto the bed to sit obediently next to Mother. His ears were still a little red.
"Why can't you sleep?" Song Yuan covered him with the blanket and propped a pillow behind his back before asking.
He was still very excited just now, but when he heard this question and thought about what happened during the day, his expression dimmed. He lowered his head. After a while, he slowly said, "Mother, I made a mistake. I committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"The crime of deceiving the emperor? It has something to do with your Imperial Father. "
"Yes! I lied to Imperial Father. "
"Tell me about it. What's the matter?" Song Yuan's tone was relaxed. "If it's not a big matter, then forget it. How many people haven't lied to their parents before?"
When she thought about how she could lie in bed and chat with her son like this, she felt very happy and satisfied.
Rong Ting glanced at her hesitantly. "However, although I lied to Imperial Father, Imperial Father wasn't honest with me either. I committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, but he also violated the saying that a ruler's words are not to be taken lightly."
"What's the matter? Just tell me directly. I don't understand what's going on. "
Rong Ting made up his mind. When he came to knock on his Imperial Mother's door, he had already planned to tell his Imperial Mother about this matter. Naturally, he wouldn't shrink back at this juncture.
"I don't think Imperial Father lost his memory. At the beginning, I felt that it was a bit strange, but I couldn't put my finger on it until Imperial Mother brought back a plum blossom that day. Imperial Mother, Imperial Father has a secret room. I accidentally found it once, so I often went in to take a look when Imperial Father wasn't paying attention. There are many portraits of Imperial Mother in Imperial Father's secret room. In those paintings, plum blossoms often appear. There's also a plum garden in the palace. The old palace maid once told me that Imperial Mother used to go for walks in the plum garden. "
"Didn't Imperial Father lose his memory? Why would he give plum blossoms? Is this a coincidence? I wanted to know if my guess was right, so I put the jade pendant that I took from Imperial Father's secret room under the book. Imperial Father was clearly very surprised when he saw the jade pendant today! If Imperial Father lost his memory, how could he recognize the Guanyin jade pendant? This clearly doesn't make sense. "
"In short, Imperial Mother, I suspect that Imperial Father didn't lose his memory, or perhaps he has already recovered his memory."
Rong Ting was puzzled. "Imperial Mother, why would Imperial Father do this? Why would he lie? "He paused, then asked," What kind of person is Imperial Father? "
Song Yuan fell into deep thought.
She was thinking about how she should answer this question.
She thought of her mother. She had always known that her parents' marriage had ended because of her father's infidelity, but all these years, her mother had never said anything bad about her father in front of her, nor had she stopped her father from visiting her. Now that she was a mother, she could actually understand her mother's thoughts. Adults' matters were adults' matters, they had nothing to do with the child. Most importantly, it was better not to say anything bad about his parents in front of the child. This was too hurtful.
No matter what, she didn't want Rong Ting to hate his Imperial Father.
He wasn't her weapon against Yung Heng.
"I think that the lies in this world can be divided into three types. There are white lies, malicious lies, and unintentional lies. Perhaps your imperial father has his own difficulties and problems that he needs to consider. That's why he's doing this. " Song Yuan squeezed his chubby paw, and said softly, "You should know best what kind of person he is. As a father, he loves you. When I wasn't around, you grew up well and became such a good and powerful child. This proves that he took responsibility, right? "
Rong Ting grunted in agreement.
"As a monarch, you should also know that he is a wise monarch and a good emperor. He takes responsibility for the people, he deserves to be called the people of the world, right?"
"Yes."
Song Yuan smiled. "You see, you know what kind of person he is. Let's not talk about anything else. I think he's qualified to be a father and an emperor."
"Then what about being a husband?" Rong Ting asked curiously.
Song Yuan was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and gently pinched his face. "Then this is between me and him. I think it's hard to explain it clearly in a short period of time. However, I hope that my child can be a bit more honest. "
Rong Ting was also immersed in his own world, thinking about what his Imperial Mother said. Of course, after he reacted, he was also a bit curious, so he asked: "Imperial Mother, why aren't you surprised?"
It was very likely that Imperial Father was pretending to have amnesia and was lying! Why didn't Imperial Mother seem to find it strange?
Song Yuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said calmly: "I think I'm already used to it." quot;
