Chapter 608: It's All My Mother's Fault
Song House.
When Xuanyuan Jing heard Song Yu say that they had returned from the palace, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Uncle, have you seen my father in the palace?"
he asked impatiently.
"We had lunch together with the Emperor and his family at noon."
Mrs. Song said gently.
"Well... since you are having dinner together... has my father ever asked about me?"
Xuanyuan Jing asked anxiously.
Song Yu shook his head slightly.
"He never asked you."
"Uncle, have you ever mentioned my situation to my father?"
Xuanyuan Jing then asked again.
"The emperor left after dinner. Even if we wanted to speak, we had no chance."
Looking at Xuanyuan Jing's expression, it seems like she won't give up until she gets the answers clearly.
Mrs. Song endured it again and again and did not say those unpleasant words.
After all, he is her senior sister's child, so she has to save face for her senior sister.
So she still spoke gently.
"You... since you have entered the palace, with such a good opportunity, why don't you help me beg my father?"
Xuanyuan Jing suppressed her anger and questioned Song Yu and his wife.
"The only chance for me to regain my status as a prince now lies with my father..."
"Jing'er, don't be rude in front of your uncle."
Concubine Shu saw that Xuanyuan Jing was becoming more and more outrageous.
She immediately started to scold.
"Mother, do you know my current situation?"
Xuanyuan Jing was really angry about his uncle's inaction.
They wasted such a good opportunity to enter the palace.
He regrets it now.
If he had known they had a chance to enter the palace, he should have come to see them earlier.
Maybe his father knew his current situation.
Unfortunately it's too late to say anything now.
"Look at my uncle and his family. They live in such a big house, but I am just staying in a small yard."
As she spoke, Xuanyuan Jing's eyes turned red with anger.
"They also give me 100 taels of silver a month to live on. They are just treating beggars like beggars."
"So what kind of life do you want?"
It was impossible to tell whether Song Yu was happy or angry in her voice.
"I want to regain my status as a prince, and I want to sit in that position."
Xuanyuan Jing said bluntly.
"Jing'er, are you...are you dreaming..."
Hearing Xuanyuan Jing's irrelevant words.
Concubine Shu even suspected that her child was a little crazy.
Otherwise, how could he have such an idea?
"What are your abilities? Or...what do you have now...that gives you the confidence to say this?"
Song Yu was so angry that he almost laughed.
He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jing was such a fool.
In the past, even with the help of the Marquis of Zhennan Mansion and the entire Nanzhao Kingdom, he still couldn't accomplish anything.
Now he is alone, and was demoted to a commoner by the emperor...
He really dares to think so.
"Why don't I have the confidence? I am a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as you are a prince, you have the possibility of sitting in that position."
Looking at the people in the room, they were all looking at me with disbelief.
Xuanyuan Jing felt insulted.
"My father is the best example. When he took the throne, wasn't he also a prince who only knew how to eat and couldn't get involved in anything?"
The more Xuanyuan Jing spoke, the more he felt that the position should have been his.
It’s not like there is no precedent in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The more orthodox the heirs are, the worse their final outcome will be.
"Your father's situation was...his situation was special...it's different from now."
Concubine Shu tried to persuade Xuanyuan Jing to give up the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
"The situation in the palace now is completely different from before..."
Xuanyuan Jing interrupted her directly.
"Didn't my mother tell me that since I have the bloodline of both the Southern Zhao Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty, it is very likely that I will be able to sit in that position?"
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Concubine Shu with red eyes and asked.
Concubine Shu was speechless by her questioning.
She had indeed been that confident before.
But over the past year or so, she has lost that ambition and her state of mind has changed a lot.
Now she just wants to take care of her children and live the rest of her life in peace.
She didn't expect that Jing'er's obsession with that position would be so deep.
"Every time is different, every time is different. People say what they want to say according to their situation."
After all, Song Yu had been an emperor.
Xuanyuan Jing didn't know how to refute what he said for a moment.
"But, I am a prince. How can the emperor let me live with those common people?"
Xuanyuan Jing was a little overwhelmed.
"I used to be the emperor, but now I live with these people, don't I?"
Song Yu said calmly.
"You...you're different from me."
Xuanyuan Jing originally wanted to say, you are the king of a fallen country, and you are lucky that the emperor didn't let you die.
What's more, you live in such a big house now, what else are you not satisfied with?
But he could only think about these words in his heart.
Deep down in his heart, he was still somewhat afraid of his uncle.
"What's the difference between us? Didn't you come back from Nanzhao? Do you think the emperor doesn't know what you did?"
Song Yu felt that Jing'er was a kid who deserved to be punished.
He has always lived in his imagination.
It should be said that he does not have the courage to face reality, so he can only blame others.
Hearing Song Yu say this, Xuanyuan Jing could not accept it even more.
"What have I done? I was originally a good prince in the Great Xia Dynasty... I was the mother..."
He stared at Concubine Shu.
"It is you, mother, who has lost your mind. You actually dared to poison the emperor. If you had not committed this heinous crime punishable by beheading, why would I have escaped..."
Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Jing and couldn't believe her eyes.
This man with red eyes, shouting hysterically at her like a madman.
Is he really her gentle, polite and courteous son?
"Jing'er, you...how did you become like this?"
Concubine Shu murmured with tears in her eyes.
"It's not you who caused me to be like this."
Xuanyuan Jing had been suppressing her anger for so many days, and now she finally found an outlet to vent.
He roared at his mother.
Song Yu walked up to him and slapped him rudely.
"Is this what you told me, that you miss your mother day and night?"
This slap from him finally woke Xuanyuan Jing up completely.
"I... I have no choice. I don't want to live like this..."
He started to sob.
"I can't live a day like this. Uncle, please find a way to go to the palace and ask my father to let me enter the palace."
In Xuanyuan Jing's heart, the emperor emeritus is his life-saving straw.
He felt that as long as he met his father, all his problems would be solved.
"I advise you to give up on this idea. Based on what you have done, the emperor has shown mercy by not taking your life."
Song Yu said to Xuanyuan Jing bluntly.
