Chapter 280 Awakening
"I am a minister, and also the adopted son of the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager asks, I cannot disobey. Filial piety is a human bond, and I cannot go against filial piety and be a person who disregards human bonds..."
Yongqi said with a sigh.
He knew very well what the Empress meant, but he was trapped by himself and could only allow himself to endure the pain.
He could neither advance nor retreat in this matter, and could only honestly fulfill his filial duties and admit his guilt.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Yanwan looked at the birds flying over the eaves of the red wall and shook her head gently. The tassels on her temples shone with colorful light in the sunlight, which was very dazzling.
She said as she shook her head and sighed.
"But what about the Emperor? He is your father, you cannot disregard filial piety. But you helped the Empress, and that is also a violation of filial piety. The Emperor and you are not only ruler and subject, but also father and son. You cannot violate the filial piety between mother and son, so how can you violate the filial piety between father and son?"
In one sentence, it is like thunder in the ears.
Yongqi stood there in a daze.
Would a normal mother allow her son to disobey his father?
the answer is negative.
The Empress Dowager did that only for herself and didn't consider his situation at all.
A feeling of suffocation came to Yongqi's heart. He felt very depressed and even more sad.
Even though I know that Queen Yikun is like this, I still feel sad.
Your Majesty is right. Doesn't the Emperor need him to be filial to him?
The Empress Dowager was the adoptive mother and the legal mother, but not the biological mother.
But the Emperor is his biological father.
His mother came from a humble background, and his current wealth and glory were all given by his father, so naturally he should be loyal to his father.
"Forget it. Just do your job well now. Listen to your father in everything. Mulan Paddock is far from the capital. Take care of your leg injury and don't let it become a chronic disease."
I have been kneeling all morning. If I set off tomorrow and travel all the way, my knees will inevitably be injured.
Yanwan was supported by Lan Cui, who stroked her belly with one hand and comforted her.
She was observant and noticed that there was something wrong with his walking posture after he came out.
From morning to noon, it was at least three hours.
The royal children have delicate skin and flesh, and I'm afraid that their skin has been rubbed and swollen.
After figuring everything out, Yongqi calmed down the turmoil in his heart and bowed to Yanwan to express his gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your concern. Unfortunately, I won't be back until winter. I'll hunt a tiger and make him a tiger-head hat out of tiger skin."
A smile appeared on his face, the depression in his heart was relieved, and even his breathing was free. This little injury was nothing.
Yanwan's due date was in October. According to the date, everyone was in Mulan Paddock at that time.
Hearing this, she touched her belly with a smile on her face.
"You're so thoughtful, don't you hear? Your fifth brother loved you so much before you were even born. You should learn from him in the future... Well, it's getting late, and I'm really tired, so I'll go home first."
"Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell."
Only after Yan Wan's carriage had gone far away did Yongqi, supported by his personal eunuch, go to a random small room to see the imperial physician for treatment.
Fortunately, it was just some minor injuries and healed quickly after applying the ointment.
The young eunuch supported him and muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, what a fool! You've got to do this, and you've got to do it! You're a prince, how could you bury a eunuch? You're even burning incense for him, and you're not afraid..."
"Shut up! How dare you talk about the Empress Dowager in private?"
Before he could finish, Yongqi stopped him.
"But……"
The young eunuch looked at Yongqi and felt very sorry for his master.
When the gods in heaven fight, why does he always use his master as a scapegoat?
"I have made up my mind. Don't say anything more. I will be careful in the future. When I return home, you are not allowed to tell Fu Jin about this matter, and you must not let Hu Gege know about it. Do you understand?"
No matter what, Yongqi has made up his mind, this is the last time.
This was the last time between him and the Empress Dowager.
No matter what, he will do as the Emperor wishes.
If the Empress Dowager has a request, then go find her biological son. He is an adopted son and should not become a victim between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Everyone has their own selfish desires, and normally he wouldn't think so much about it.
But now he has married and established a family, and there is a beloved woman waiting for him in the house. He must live a good life, not only for himself but also for the support of his beloved.
Thinking of Tian Yuner, a hint of love rolled in Yongqi's eyes.
She was of low status and could not be his concubine, so he found a way to make her change her surname to Hu and impersonate her to enter the mansion.
Now her name is Hu Yunjiao.
After examining the wound, the imperial physician applied ointment to the affected area, and the wound faded within three to five days.
Even so, Yongqi was still cautious when he returned home, fearing that Yunjiao would notice something unusual.
