Without waiting for Imperial Consort Su to say anything, Li Hongyuan turned his gaze to Jing Wan. He saw that Jing Wan was covered in blood, her appearance was disheveled, and the vicious aura around her was surging wildly. However, she didn't have the slightest intention of restraining it. "What happened?" Even Emperor Le Cheng couldn't touch his heart.
In Imperial Consort Su's eyes, she had never seen Li Hongyuan like this before. Naturally, she felt incomparably horrified. Her heart was beating wildly, but she wasn't afraid. She just felt that something bad had happened. It wasn't something bad in the usual sense, but something that she couldn't bear. She wanted to say something, but her son didn't cooperate. This son obviously only had eyes for his wife. She inexplicably felt that her son had forgotten his mother once he had a wife. Imperial Consort Su's heart also faintly ached.
Jingwan looked at Li Hongyuan and smiled. "Why did Prince come so quickly?"
"This prince just wants to know what's going on right now." Outside, he met Jingwan's servants who were walking in a hurry and were injured. Li Hongyuan didn't ask them at all and quickened his pace. He was worried that something might have happened to Jingwan. Although he knew that Imperial Consort Su couldn't do anything, this worry didn't disappear.
Jingwan raised her hand. "Don't worry, this isn't my blood."
"Luo Jingwan, focus." Li Hongyuan suddenly raised his voice.
This was the first time Li Hongyuan called her by her full name. It could be seen that he was really angry at this moment and might lose control at any time.
Li Hongyuan's anger was a bit beyond Jingwan's expectations. He should be able to see her current situation. She was clearly fine. Jingwan didn't know that the blood on her body had triggered a certain nerve in Li Hongyuan for no reason. That was a forbidden zone in the depths of Li Hongyuan's memory. As long as that day hadn't passed, as long as the dust hadn't settled, Li Hongyuan wouldn't be able to let it go. If he wasn't careful and touched it, he might explode. Who knew how many people would suffer from this explosion?
"It's nothing. It's just that an old servant fought with me." Jingwan created this scene just to "complain".
How could Li Hongyuan not see through such a clumsy and careless "setup"? After seeing through it with one glance, he completely believed in his wife and would still cooperate to the end. He would use practical actions to tell everyone that his wife's words were the truth in any situation. Black was also white, and white was even more white.
Li Hongyuan looked sharply at the aunt who was a little further away from Jingwan. His gaze was like looking at a dead person. "Someone come, drag this old servant out for this prince. Flog her … fifty times." Flogging her fifty times was to give face to Noble Consort Su and sounded nicer. However, the King of Hell had personally spoken. If the executioners dared to lightly flog the old servant, the flogging would fall on them later. As such, the old servant's chances of survival after fifty flogs were very slim.
Jingwan couldn't help but clench her fists. She had taken a life just because of a sentence from her. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. However, after thinking about it, she relaxed again. This woman was Noble Consort Su's most trusted aide. It could be said that she was her right-hand woman. There was definitely more than one life that had been lost in her hands. More importantly, some of the things that Noble Consort Su had done to her husband were also done by this person. Speaking of which, her death really didn't deserve to be regretted. Jingwan hardened her heart.
"Yuan 'er —" Noble Consort Su's expression changed. Her voice couldn't help but raise and sound a little shrill.
"What's the matter, Mother?" Li Hongyuan was expressionless and cold.
This was the first time her son had spoken to her like this. For a moment, Noble Consort Su was speechless. After a moment, she said, "The matter isn't like what your wife said."
"Oh? Then Mother, why don't you let someone tell Son what the truth is? Since you said that Madam Luo lied to Son, I believe that the people around you absolutely wouldn't lie. "
These words didn't sound wrong, and they didn't feel any special emotions from Li Hongyuan. However, more than one person felt that her words were sarcastic.
Noble Consort Su felt even more uncomfortable. This son of hers had been close to her since he was young. Compared to others, including Le Chengdi, she, as his mother, occupied the most important position in his heart. He was good to her and bad to others. Even if it was just a mother-son relationship, it would make people unconsciously feel superior. Imperial Concubine Su would show off in front of Le Chengdi from time to time, causing Le Chengdi to be jealous. However, her mood was particularly relaxed. Obviously, this was the most obvious way to express it.
Now, it was obvious that her daughter-in-law's position in her son's heart surpassed hers. Even if it wasn't for the time being, her son was faintly biased towards her daughter-in-law. It would be strange if she felt comfortable in her heart. Originally, she was provoked by Jingwan to the point of almost vomiting blood. Now, she didn't hide her cold expression at all.
Li Hongyuan frowned and looked at Noble Consort Su with slight confusion. He didn't seem to understand why she was angry for no reason. "Mother, if you have something to say, just say it. You know that Son hates guessing women's thoughts the most. If you act like this, Son will mistakenly think that you don't miss Son after returning from the capital half a year ago. Instead, you don't like Son. "
Did Noble Consort Su have motherly affection for Li Hongyuan? Definitely. However, it was precisely because she had feelings that Li Hongyuan's words were like knives stabbing into Noble Consort Su's heart. Blood flowed out, and it was so painful that she almost suffocated.
Jingwan didn't understand what was going on. Her husband was the true king of acting. He was the kind of person who deliberately stabbed people. The person who was stabbed couldn't blame him because he didn't know. Because he didn't mean it, so she had to pretend as if nothing had happened.
Jingwan lit a candle for Noble Consort Su in her heart. However, Jingwan didn't sympathize with her at all. Noble Consort Su reaped what she sowed.
Otherwise, Imperial Consort Su wouldn't have invested in her feelings from the start. That way, even if they were mother and son in name, their relationship would be the same as the relationship between the other princes and Imperial Consort Su. It wouldn't matter if they were as indifferent as water or if they became enemies. It would be perfectly normal. In the beginning, she wanted to use this adopted son to consolidate her favor. In the imperial harem, this kind of thing didn't matter, and Li Hongyuan didn't care at all. However, Imperial Consort Su treated this adopted son wholeheartedly. He wasn't any worse than her own son, so she shouldn't do anything unnecessary.
If it weren't for those one or two extra things, even if Noble Consort Su chose to support her own son in the end, Li Hongyuan probably wouldn't have done anything. He might even have helped Li Hongming, just like in his previous life before Li Hongyuan knew the truth.
Vicious and merciless, he didn't recognize his own family, he was malicious and ruthless, and he treated human lives like grass. Most of the reason why Li Hongyuan became so terrifying was because of Noble Consort Su. Of course, all of this was because of his previous life. In this life, it naturally wouldn't affect him at all. Moreover, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his temperament.
In this life, Li Hongyuan was committed to keeping his composure and even "innocently" provoking Noble Consort Su. He wasn't interested in doing it deliberately, but since it involved his wife, he was embarrassed and didn't hold back.
"How is Yuan 'er's words different from Consort Mother's heart?" Noble Consort Su's face was pale. Her heart really hurt.
"Consort Mother, please forgive me. As the saying goes, when a son travels a thousand miles, Consort Mother worries. This son thought that after not seeing Consort Mother for so long, the first thing Consort Mother would do was show concern for this son's recent situation. But in reality, such an unpleasant thing happened. Although this son is no longer at the age where I can fool around with Consort Mother, this son is still unhappy."
— — You actually gave this consort a chance to show concern!
Everyone else looked at Li Hongyuan and had the same thought.
Apart from Jingwan, the others weren't too sure if Li Hongyuan's actions were intentional or if he was just judging the matter as it was. After all, Li Hongyuan was Noble Consort Su's good son. That was obvious to all.
Noble Consort Su had been in this position for so many years, so she was very good at maintaining her composure. Although she was in pain, she still managed to maintain her composure. "This is Consort Mother's fault, but isn't it also wrong for Yuan 'er to hit the people around Consort Mother?"
"This lowly servant offended her superiors. Don't tell me she doesn't deserve to be beaten?" Li Hongyuan's eyes were practically saying 'Consort Mother, where are your rules?'.
"Yuan 'er, are you only listening to Lady Luo's side of the story and not believing Consort Mother's words?" It was one thing that she couldn't repeat what had happened before, but she also felt indignant that her son didn't trust her.
Li Hongyuan was silent for a moment, then looked steadily at Noble Consort Su. "You are Erchen's Consort Mother. You raised Erchen. Lady Luo is Erchen's Princess Consort. She's someone who will accompany Erchen for countless years to come. Erchen hopes that both of you can live well. I hope that both of you can get along harmoniously like mother and daughter. Lady Luo is gentle, kind, and good-tempered. Before she got married, she was also a filial girl.
You've always treated Lady Luo well. "Li Hongyuan's meaning couldn't be more obvious. If there was a problem between Lady Luo and Lady Luo, then it was Lady Luo's fault.
Noble Consort Su's lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a single word.
Li Hongyuan's analysis was very reasonable. Lady Luo Jingwan was filial and a junior. You, Noble Consort Su, was an elder with even more respect. If you said that Jingwan disobeyed you, probably not many people would believe it. But Noble Consort Su didn't seem to have any reason to target Jingwan, right?
"Consort Mother, Erchen knows that even saints have people they don't like. If Lady Luo isn't liked by you, then just let her enter the palace less in the future. Please don't lower yourself to her level." Li Hongyuan continued to poke at her. His words were exceptionally sincere. This reason didn't seem to be untenable. It really was a bit of a dilemma of being sandwiched between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Jingwan even applauded Li Hongyuan in her heart. Noble Consort Su must be angered to death.
"This consort doesn't dislike her."
"That's naturally for the best. Then, it's still the matter from before. Can Imperial Mother tell me what exactly happened? "
Tell her? How should she tell her? Lady Luo was also here. How could she distort the truth?
Noble Consort Su looked at Jingwan again. She really didn't have a good impression of her. She was just a little girl. She had a sharp tongue, was scheming, and was used to putting on an act. The relationship between mother and son was very good, but because of her, there was a conflict between mother and son. She didn't look like a vixen, but her methods were clearly not something ten vixens could compare to.
Jingwan looked scared and shrunk behind Li Hongyuan.
Noble Consort Su's gaze became even colder, but it just so happened that she met Li Hongyuan's eyes.
Li Hongyuan's eyes had the words "as expected."
Noble Consort Su felt like she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into a river. One moment she said she didn't, the next moment she slapped her own face. She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and took two deep breaths. She really was muddle-headed from anger. Her emotions were exposed so easily.
"Since Consort Mother doesn't want her people to say it, then let Lady Luo's maidservant say it."
Out of the seven maidservants, only Qing Ju was left. When Li Hongyuan said this, she didn't have any scruples. Like pouring beans, she learned most of the previous matter. Even if Noble Consort Su sternly shouted at her to stop, she couldn't stop her. It made people feel that Noble Consort Su was guilty.
Qing Ju's personality was more lively than the others, but it didn't mean that she was stupid. In her words, she weakened Jingwan and highlighted Noble Consort Su's strength and aggressiveness. As for whether that aunt fought with Jingwan, she said that she was kneeling with her head lowered and didn't see it. However, that aunt had physical contact with her Wangfei and acted like she was superior, not putting her Wangfei in her eyes.
In the end, Qing Ju looked at Li Hongyuan with a confused expression. "Your Highness, did Wangfei say something wrong? I don't think so. Why is Noble Consort Su so angry? Princess Rui is indeed Noble Consort Su's biological daughter-in-law, and Wangfei is only her adopted son's daughter-in-law. Is that why Noble Consort Su sent people to you instead of Prince Rui? " Then she secretly glanced at Princess Liu. "Prince Rui is several years older than you, but he doesn't have a son. Your Highness has been married for more than half a year. Why can't you get married if you don't have a son?"
After Jingwan was stabbed, Li Hongyuan did it. Now, even a maidservant came to stab Noble Consort Su and asked how many bloody holes there were on her body.
Noble Consort Su regretted. Although things were generally like this, a little deviation could lead to a completely different result. She didn't want her son to know it, but she still revealed it. It was better for her to take the initiative from the beginning. If she explained it now, it would most likely be regarded as sophistry. If she didn't say anything, it might be regarded as acquiescence.
There was no way forward and no door back!
"Mother, Madame Luo has only been in the capital for more than a year. She used to live in Qi 'an Manor with Madame Luo. Madame Luo dotes on her very much and has never instilled any complicated things in her. Therefore, she is innocent and says whatever she thinks. I believe that she has absolutely no intention of targeting you. Moreover, she really doesn't know anything about what happened in Jiangnan. If Imperial Mother wants to know something, there is no harm in asking Erchen now. In any case, Imperial Father has other important matters to attend to right now. Erchen hasn't reported what happened in Jiangnan yet. Or if Imperial Mother wants Erchen to do something, there is still time. "As Li Hongyuan spoke, he expressionlessly glanced sideways at Li Hongming.
She could abandon her adopted son for the sake of her biological son. As an adopted son, he knew very well that even if she wanted to do something, he wouldn't complain. Because she was his mother, and she raised him.
Noble Consort Su looked at his expressionless face. This kind of expression was common when facing others, but in front of her, there was always a trace of gentleness and warmth. Now that it had disappeared without a trace, did this mean that she would be the same as the others? Noble Consort Su was a little flustered. How could she be in the mood to care about Jingwan? She even unconsciously walked down from the main seat. "Yuan 'er, it's not …" She reached out to pull him.
Li Hongyuan took a step back and avoided her. "Mother, I'm afraid I won't stay here for long."
Noble Consort Su's heart ached to the extreme. It was completely different from the pain she felt before. "Yuan 'er, listen to me, it's not …"
"Mother …" Li Hongming, who had been in the background, suddenly spoke. Noble Consort Su looked over and saw the pleading in his eyes.
Imperial Consort Su knew that this matter was no small matter, especially after hearing from Jingwan about the huge amount of "stolen money". Ming 'er definitely wouldn't be clean. If Yuan' er could help, as long as the loss was smaller than the others, they would have an advantage. Now, it was just a matter of a word from her, but the current situation was like choosing between two sons. …
Noble Consort Su looked at Li Hongyuan, her lips trembling, and her eyes unconsciously filled with guilt.
Li Hongyuan laughed bitterly and suddenly reached out to cover his eyes. After a moment, he removed his hand, and all his emotions were gone. "Mother, you don't have to be like this, and you don't have to say anything. I understand that you are my mother, and you will still be in the future. This will never change."
"Yuan 'er …" Noble Consort Su looked at Li Hongyuan. His eyes were clearly a little red. This son of hers had been a tyrant since he was young. When had he ever revealed such a weak and forbearing appearance? Her tears fell down.
