Chapter 136
"Mother Empress, your son..."
Yixiu smiled and said, "You don't have to think too much. Things in the harem are ever-changing. Perhaps when Concubine Xi was raising you, she told you a lot about me, but I think you have some guesses about why she died."
"She had an affair with Prince Guo and gave birth to a pair of illegitimate twins, a boy and a girl. Think about it yourself, is such a person worthy of being your mother?"
"Besides, no one can guarantee that this matter will not be spread out."
"Have you ever thought about how people would talk about you if someone brought up this matter again?"
Every word Yixiu said was like a sharp knife piercing Hongli's heart.
adultery?
Twins?
How could he have imagined that the reason why he could no longer see Concubine Xi was because of this!
But on second thought, if it is really as the queen said, this matter will be leaked.
So what if I became the emperor?
How can an emperor with a disgrace have the face to sit in the court?
Hongli felt a cold sweat breaking out, and he couldn't help but shiver slightly.
After a moment's thought, he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration."
A hidden smile flashed across Yixiu's lips.
The plan that had been discussed with Qingying a long time ago had indeed been effective.
"Hurry up, kid! Why are you kneeling all the time? You'll have to be more careful when you change your identity."
"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager, for your advice."
After Hongli stood up and sat down, Yixiu continued, "Qingying is your concubine. Although you and I are not biological mother and son, we are closer than others. I will naturally clear away any unnecessary obstacles for you and the stability of the Qing Dynasty."
The Queen was so open with her heart, what else could Hongli say?
It's just a moment of gratitude.
After Yixiu finished speaking, Hongli suddenly thought of what he had talked about with Qingying today.
After thinking for a moment, I felt that returning the favor was the right thing to do.
So he bent down slightly and said, "Madam, I have something to ask you."
Yixiu raised her eyebrows slightly. "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"Empress Mother, when I entered the palace today, I discussed this with Qingying. No matter who ascends the throne in the future, I would like to ask for a posthumous title for my eldest brother."
"what?"
Yixiu's voice suddenly changed.
What she said to Hongli today about her biological mother was nothing more than a scheme she and Qingying had discussed long ago to win over people's hearts.
But the matter of Honghui was never mentioned at that time.
Why is the other party...
"Empress Dowager, my mother passed away young, but you always looked after me. But who remembers the pain you felt for so many years because of my eldest brother's early death?"
"I didn't understand it before, but now that I have Yongji and Yongzhang, I understand that as a parent, all we want in our lives is the health and safety of our children. Naturally, I also understand the torment that the Empress Dowager has endured for so many years."
"I can't do much, but Big Brother shouldn't just be an unknown prince, with people only referring to him as Big Brother."
At this point, Hongli stood up and knelt again. "I also ask the Empress Dowager to take the trouble to grant you a title. If I ever ascend the throne, I will posthumously confer the title of Prince on you to comfort your soul in heaven."
Yixiu's eyes were moist.
But it was not because of what Hongli said.
She understood it clearly in her heart.
It is impossible that Hongli himself wanted to bring up these words and this matter.
Qingying, it must be Qingying.
Only she would care so much about her aunt...
The hand in the sleeve clenched into a fist.
Fucha Langya, you will definitely not be able to sit on the throne of queen.
"Good children, you and Qingying are both good children, hurry up and get up."
Yixiu seemed very moved. She stepped forward and helped Hongli up.
"Your eldest brother passed away long ago, and even your royal father has forgotten that he ever had such a son. I never thought, I never thought that it would be you..."
Yixiu seemed so moved that she could no longer speak, and her voice stopped there.
Hongli raised his hand and wiped away tears that he didn't know whether they existed or not.
"Your Majesty, you are always thinking of me, your mother. Naturally, I cannot forget your lifelong wish. I only hope that you can be happy, and then I will have no regrets."
