Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"I have explained it so clearly. Why are you still not satisfied?"

When only Wang Xifeng was left, the prince was too lazy to put on airs anymore. He leaned back in his chair tiredly and closed his eyes gently.

Wang Xifeng looked at him and rolled her eyes secretly, but still walked over, stood behind the chair, and massaged his temples and massaged his shoulders and neck.

At the same time, her breath was as sweet as orchid and her words were as sharp as thorns: "He Ke has been registered under my name. She is my daughter. My daughter has been wronged for no reason. How can I not be happy?"

"She is my mother." The prince was helpless.

Wang Xifeng then said, "Yes, she is your mother, the Crown Prince, but not your father!

“If His Majesty has plans for us and Ke, for the sake of national justice and the people of the world, we mother and daughter will not say a word.

"Even if it requires He Ke to learn those hypocritical moral behaviors of being virtuous, filial and kind, I will make a special whip and watch He Ke to make sure he learns well!

“But His Majesty clearly has no such arrangement!

"The Queen's actions were not for the country, the court, or even for the Shen family! She was just doing it for herself and for her Mohist family!

"——Why?!

“He Ke is of royal blood!

"I've been studying for three years and have read a few history books, but I've never heard of a relative bullying a royal bloodline for no reason, and the royal family has to endure it!"

These words, every word, almost came out of the prince's heart, and they were all the words he wanted to throw in front of Queen Mo!

The prince took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, feeling a little more comfortable than before. "That's enough! It just makes you look like you have a big mouth, doesn't it?"

Wang Xifeng snorted, but still kept her mouth shut as she was told.

"He Ke said that she will not bear a grudge against the Queen. Wang Liangdi, you should not bear a grudge against the Queen either, do you hear me?" The prince still closed his eyes, enjoying her kneading.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and smirked: "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. How can I bear a grudge against the Queen?"

The prince choked, grabbed one of her hands, opened his eyes, and looked at her: "If I say so, are you worthy?"

Wang Xifeng knew she could lie now, so she turned away and said, "I dare not."

The prince loosened his hand, sighed, and closed his eyes again with a headache: "So, you have begun to hate the Queen."

"Haha." Wang Xifeng sneered, put her hands on the prince's head again, and continued to use her internal strength to knead him, while mocking, "Tomorrow Prince Su must not give birth to a daughter!

"Otherwise, in eight or ten years, when I serve their little girl a bowl of snacks, I want to see if she gets scolded after she finishes eating!"

The prince remained silent.

Wang Xifeng became angrier and angrier as she spoke: "Ke and I are the daughters of the crown prince, the future Grand Princess of the Celestial Empire, and the first among the girls! Can't she enjoy a snack? Is this something that a biological grandmother would do?

"The prince still blames me for holding a grudge against her!"

The prince was helpless and couldn't help but snorted: "How can I be your daughter? Your grandmother doesn't love you, and her grandmother doesn't love her. It's the same bloodline."

Wang Xifeng's hand paused immediately.

Retracted.

He crossed his elbows and sneered, "Haha! So that's how it is!"

"You just said someday - there's no need for someday. I think it will only be in the next two or three months." The prince sighed again, opened his eyes, and sat up straight.

Wang Xifeng was stunned.

Before they knew it, Wang Xifeng and the prince were the only two people left in the palace.

"During the first banquet of the New Year, my father fainted. I accompanied him to the back hall and summoned the imperial physician." The prince suddenly began to recount what happened that day in a low voice.

Wang Xifeng held her breath and listened carefully, and no longer lost her temper.

It turned out that the imperial physician took the prince's pulse that day, wiped his sweat and told him: "Your Majesty is just anxious and angry, it's okay, just one injection will wake you up."

The prince immediately ordered acupuncture.

Sure enough, after the imperial physician gave him an injection, Emperor Shengping slowly woke up.

The prince fell to his knees in front of the couch with a thud, and cried tremblingly, "Father, please take care of yourself. I was almost scared to death just now!"

Emperor Shengping smiled and stretched out his hand tremblingly. The prince quickly held his father's hand with both hands.

The hands of both were equally cold.

Emperor Shengping knew that his son was truly anxious and smiled with relief.

Just as he was about to speak, Queen Mo came running over crying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Emperor Shengping frowned, but did not ask anyone to stop her.

After entering the room, Empress Mo rushed to the bed, pushed the prince aside, and hugged Emperor Shengping and cried non-stop: "Your Majesty, please don't abandon me!"

Emperor Shengping patted her shaking shoulders as she leaned on the bed and spoke slowly, "I'm fine. Don't cry for now. I have things to arrange."

Queen Mo then wiped her tears and sat on the edge of the bed.

Emperor Shengping took the prince's hand in his palm again, and spoke clearly, word by word: "I want to retire and enjoy my grandchildren. I'll leave the outside business to you."

The prince was startled, his lips tightly pursed, and he was speechless.

Queen Mo felt a little flustered for some reason and interrupted in surprise: "Are you letting him govern the country again?"

The prince exhaled, smiled and wrapped his hands around the emperor's: "Father, take good care of yourself first, and I will continue to be the regent for a while. When you are well again..."

Emperor Shengping did not let him finish, shaking his head and interrupting: "You should get ready, the Ministry of Rites has almost finished its investigation."

So, he is not a regent.

It was the abdication that the Ministry of Rites was asked to investigate some time ago!

Queen Mo was horrified and rushed forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, this is not allowed!!! The Crown Prince is still young..."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs! Shut up and get out!" Emperor Shengping pointed his finger directly at Queen Mo's face.

Queen Mo burst into tears, but was stopped by Emperor Shengping's words: "Are you mourning for me?" She could only leave the back hall of the Linde Palace with red eyes and clenched teeth.

Emperor Shengping still did not let go of the prince's hand and sighed, "It's a pity, she is your biological mother. Your wife's methods can't suppress her. Think of a way. If it doesn't work, marry a daughter of the Mo family as a concubine and let them compete with each other."

The prince cried and shook his head: "Father, please don't talk about these things! Please take good care of yourself - I want to be the prince for the rest of my life! I want to have your support, your protection, and my father to be filial to!"

Emperor Shengping smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to find Old Dai Quan and ordered him, "Pass the decree that all annual ceremonies will be performed by the Crown Prince."

……

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng swayed a little, as if her legs were too weak to stand. She knelt on the ground and whispered, "Your Majesty, have you really made up your mind to abdicate the throne to the prince?"

The prince sighed slowly and deeply, lowered his head, and rested his hands on his knees, his voice so low that it could not be heard:

"I hope my father is the emperor, not the emperor emeritus.

"I said I am willing to be the crown prince for life, and I mean it sincerely.

"But I also know that if I don't take on this responsibility, I'm afraid that my father will collapse from exhaustion one day and will never be able to..."

Wake up.

Therefore, as the great work is not yet completed, it is better for the old emperor to be alive.

Wang Xifeng nodded in her heart.

Understood.
