Chapter 70
Zhao Xitai's face faded away and his face was extremely pale.
"I came here sincerely, you are so treating me?" he murmured. "If I don't do it, you will kill me?"
Mu Fulan stared at him.
"Crown Prince, I had no intention of targeting you, but I have to make a decision on the mother Xie. You'd better find a way to send her here. If you have no choice, I can only hand you over to Xie Changgeng."
Zhao Xitai looked at her calmly, motionless.
"Brother, take the prince to rest." She turned to Yuan Handing, "Let me tell me when he came up with a solution."
When she calmed down, she, the playmate in the palace, would soon realize that his father would be very angry at Changsha's behavior of detaining his son, but he would never launch a long-distance attack at this time in order to regain his son.
In the last war, although his father failed to occupy Shangjing for a long time, he quickly expanded his territory and occupied almost half of Hedong's territory with this victory. The newly-authorized King of Qi should be busy consolidating the Eastern Capital to deal with the attacks launched by Xie Changgeng at any time. How could he be distracted from dealing with Changsha?
And Zhao Xitai, if he wants to consolidate his position, he must go back as soon as possible unless he gives up everything he is now.
He turned his face almost stubbornly and looked at her, his steps were stiff. When he walked out step by step, the lost figure also made Mu Fulan feel a little compassion in her heart.
But this compassion disappeared soon.
Having come to this point, whether it is Zhao Xitai, who was born as the prince of Qi or the princess of Changsha, everyone is the one who is in the game. Who can do whatever you want?
She knew that Zhao Xitai would not let her wait too long.
Late at night, a small car covered in green felt entered from the north gate of Yuecheng. The wheels rolled over the flat gravel road and rushed towards the direction of the palace.
The next morning, a door opened.
Mu Fulan walked in.
Zhao Xitai sat cross-legged on the couch in the room, closing his eyes as if he had entered into a state of meditation.
Mu Fulan took his pulse for him, and after a moment, he stopped and took out a prescription.
"After going back, take care of this prescription and your body will be cured."
"Your people are waiting for you outside the North City Gate. I won't send you there."
She put the prescription in his hand.
When she walked to the door, she heard a sound coming from behind her.
"Master Weng, this time, if I could speak dictably, would you still be so rude to me?"
Mu Fulan stopped and turned her head slowly.
Zhao Xitai got off the couch and walked towards her.
"I didn't blame you at all. Your brother is gone, I know it's not easy for you."
He stopped in front of her and stared at her with an extremely gentle look.
"Your concern is right. My father, he really cannot believe it. How could you put the safety of your people on his promise?"
"It's because of you, I know more clearly what I should do in the future."
He carefully put the prescription she gave to his arms.
"I'm going. One day, I, Zhao Xitai, can count my words, and I'll come to find you again."
He looked at her deeply, as if he had imprinted the face in front of him into his mind, turned around and stepped out of the door, and walked away quickly.
A maid came over to report that after the old lady arrived last night, her condition seemed not very good, she was very weak, she must have been sick, had a bad temper, and was cursing.
Mu Fulan arrived at the place where Xie's mother temporarily settled, walked through the courtyard, and came to the door. Before she could enter, she heard the sound of dishes shattering in the room, and then a humming and moaning sound came out.
"Who did you bring me here again, what do you want to do... If you don't let me go back, wait for my son to come and make you look good..."
Mu Fulan stopped outside the threshold and looked in.
Xie's mother leaned on the bed, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and she looked extremely haggard.
A maid squatted on the ground, packing up the bowl that had just been smashed. She looked up and saw Mu Fulan and called out "Master Weng".
When Xie's mother heard this, she felt as if she was stabbed by a needle and opened her eyes.
She turned her face and stared at Mu Fulan outside the door for a while. At first, she felt a little unbelievable and rubbed her eyes. Finally, she seemed to have come back to her senses, shouted "Mu" and got up.
It was just that the person was too weak and sat up. He turned his eyes and buzzed, and the person leaned back and fainted.
The maid behind Mu Fulan hurried in, pinched the man who pinched the man and poured the man and poured the man and poured the man and poured the man. After a while, Xie's mother gradually recovered, opened her eyes, and murmured: "How could it be you? Where is this? Did Geng'er save me and settle me in your place? Where are others? Why haven't you come to see me yet?"
"Old lady, this is our Changsha Kingdom! Lord Xie is not here! It was our Lord Weng who rescued you from the King of Qi!" said the maid Zhu Yu.
"Also, our Lord Weng and Lord Xie have nothing to do with each other now!"
The maid still remembers the loss suffered in front of the old lady when the old master first married to Xie County. She was dissatisfied and couldn't help but say another sentence.
Xie's mother was stunned, her eyes were dull. Suddenly, she was stabbed by a needle and shouted "Mu" tremblingly. Her eyes turned red and tears fell.
"What this girl said is true? No! Geng'er can't settle you! It's all my fault. I was blind before, so why did I look down on you? I'm sorry for you..."
The old lady started to tell her how she was caught that day.
"...My son's people want to pick me up. I thought that she had saved me in the past. Before leaving, she went to see her. She said she didn't want to get married and could not serve me. She would rather shave her hair and be a sister-in-law. I was soft-hearted and took her on the way. Unexpectedly, she coaxed me..."
She grabbed Mu Fulan's hand.
"Now I know that it's your best! Good daughter, don't worry, you saved me, when I see my son, I will ask him to take back his divorce. You are still my daughter-in-law of the Xie family. You live a harmonious life and give birth to a grandson for me..."
She said, suddenly remembered, wiped her tears, and looked at Mu Fulan.
"Where is my good grandson? Are he all good? Take him here quickly and let me take a good look! I saw him at the horse farm last year, and I knew at a glance that it must be the blood of my Xie family. That little look is exactly the same as his father when he was a child. He is well-behaved and handsome! He should have grown a lot taller, right? Poor my grandson, he has grown so old, and has not yet returned to his ancestors..."
The maid and maid looked at each other, thinking that Xie's mother was too frightened and was confused, and talked nonsense in front of the Lord Weng.
"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"
The old lady was still sick just now, but now she felt refreshed. She got up from the bed, looked around and urged her continuously.
When Mu Fulan heard Xie's mother talk to herself, she seemed to be Xier, and she was also confused. Seeing her excited expression, she ordered everyone around her to go out and said, "Mrs. Xie, when you are in good health, I will send someone to send you back to your son. That's all. I am no longer your Xie daughter-in-law, and I have no intention of this in the future. Don't misunderstand."
Xie's mother was stunned and stared at Mu Fulan blankly.
"You won't go back?" she murmured. "Are you still worried? I won't make things difficult for you anymore. I'll call my son to treat you well..."
"Old lady, rest with peace of mind. If someone feels uncomfortable or needs something, say to the maid."
Mu Fulan didn't want to say much, turned around and wanted to leave, but Xie's mother grabbed her sleeve.
"What about my grandson? The child named Xier whom you raised in front of you! Please let me take him back!"
Mu Fulan patiently said: "Old Madam, Xier is my adopted child and has nothing to do with your Xie family. Old Madam, don't think about it."
"No! Don't lie to me! My son told me in person that the child was the son you gave birth to him in the early years! It was just that it was inconvenient to bring it back, so I kept it by your side!"
Mu Fulan was stunned for a moment, came to her senses, and took off her sleeves.
"He is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Although the Mu girl in front of her today spoke politely, her coldness and ruthlessness made Xie's mother dare not act rashly anymore.
This is Changsha again. I am alone and helpless. In addition, I was frightened so much that I dared to show my majesty as before.
The old lady came from grief and cried, "That child is obviously the grandson of my Xie family, and she looks exactly the same as my son when he was a child! It's better if you don't come back, I won't force you, but you are a mother, so you will be cruel to let the child have no father since he was a child. If you don't return my grandson, I won't leave. At worst, you will die here!"
Her crying was a little loud, and the voices came out, and the maids and maids outside should have heard it.
Mu Fulan felt a sense of helplessness caught her off guard against her mother-in-law and the irrational old woman. At the same time, a thin and nameless fire seemed to arise in her heart.
That person could not know the previous love. Only she knew it in this world. She really didn't understand why that person had to admit such things in front of his mother, causing such unexpected trouble.
She just wanted to exchange the person back and take him away as soon as possible after she was well prepared.
"Old lady, don't cry."
A child's voice came from outside the door.
Xier crossed the threshold, walked in, stopped beside Mu Fulan, and saluted Xie's mother.
Xie's mother stopped crying, opened her eyes wide and looked at Xier. She slowly smiled on her face. She hurriedly climbed off the couch. She didn't even put on her shoes. She ran over and touched his little face and said, "My good grandson is so tall! Call her grandmother!" She loved her more and more, and hugged her child in her arms, hugged her tightly, and refused to let go.
Xier let her hold her, without struggling, and said, "Old Madam, my mother didn't lie to you. I grew up in the temple when I was born. Later, I met my mother, and Lord Xie is not my father."
Xie's mother was stunned, looked at Mu Fulan, and whispered: "Don't listen to her coaxing you! Your father told his grandmother that you are his son."
Xier shook her head: "Old Madam, if you don't believe it, you will recover from the disease earlier. After you go back, when you see Lord Xie, ask again, won't you know?"
Xie's mother looked at the child in her arms, hesitated for a while, turned to Mu Fulan and said, "Forget it, my grandson stays with you first. Please send me back quickly! When I ask clearly, don't try to steal my grandson!"
Mu Fulan led Xier out and walked silently for a while.
Xier looked up at her and said, "Mom, are you blaming me?" He hesitated.
"I think you are too tired these days and have lost a lot of weight and can't sleep at night. I want to help you."
A warm current surged in Mu Fulan's heart, and suddenly she felt like she was full of strength again.
"You did a good job. You helped my mother a lot!"
She smiled.
