"Hahaha" Ji Yue smiled and collapsed on Linyuan, "Senior brother, have you seen the expressions of those two people?"

"Yeah." Linyuan looked at Jiyue who was smiling happily. That's fine. His mission is to save the world. As long as there is no such large-scale plague, the fate of the protagonist and the plot should have nothing to do with him, right? After comforting himself like this, Linyuan still felt a little guilty.

Wei Lingfeng was supposed to be the emperor, but Wei Lingyue was kind and virtuous. He assisted Wei Lingfeng and shared the country. The two of them left a reputation as a benevolent monarch and a wise minister. Emotionally, the two are in love and stay together for a lifetime. Because Wei Lingfeng's biological mother died young, the imperial concubine was named the Queen Mother, taking charge of the harem and enjoying all the respect.

But now, because of his intervention, everyone's fate has changed.

The boy in his arms was innocent, cold and cruel. The imperial concubine confuses the royal bloodline. If Wei Lingyue is appointed as the heir in the future, the great country and the inheritance of the ancestors will be handed over to others. This is simply a serious crime that can kill the Nine Clans.

When the emperor dealt with the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine cried and confessed to Ji Yue who was standing aside, asking him to beg for mercy. But Jiyue just disliked the noise and turned her head away, turning a deaf ear to what happened to his so-called mother and concubine.

At that time, the emperor also asked: "Jiyue, do you want to intercede for your mother and concubine?"

Under the expectant eyes of the imperial concubine, Ji Yue tilted her head and asked, "What is a concubine? A mother? But I have never had a mother."

The imperial concubine fell to the ground, the light in her eyes extinguished, and she seemed to have aged many years for a moment. She looked at Ji Yue's lips trembling but could no longer speak.

That woman was willing to abandon her son for the sake of power and wealth. Now she fell into the dust and implicated her entire mother clan. People in the clan who had enjoyed many blessings due to the favor of the imperial concubine now spoke of her with gritted teeth. He looked like he was cursed constantly.

She has spent half her life working in the agency, but now she has ended up like this. I wonder if the imperial concubine regrets her decision to change her son. Or he regretted agreeing to take Jiyue's blood to save Wei Lingyue during their second meeting. If she had wanted to keep Ji Yue, there would not have been a scene where her blood merged with Wei Lingfeng's, and Ji Yue's life experience would not have been exposed. But no matter how much I regret it, the matter has become a foregone conclusion.

As for Wei Lingyue, he was deprived of his status as a prince and demoted to a commoner. Wei Lingyue was used to the life in Kyoto and could not go back to find his biological parents. But he had a good relationship with Wei Lingfeng, and he was injured and poisoned on his behalf, so he entered Wei Lingfeng's house as a life-saving grace.

Although the medicine prescribed by the medical sages and imperial doctors to Wei Lingyue could not completely cure his poison, it could relieve the pain that was hanging on his life. When the poison takes hold, he lingers on the sick bed, like a disabled person.

Linyuan didn't feel any pity or sympathy after knowing this. These should have been suffered by Wei Lingyue, but in the plot, these pains were transferred to Jiyue, who took over on his behalf. Now, Wei Lingyue has personally experienced the suffering he deserves.

The emperor also knew about Jiyue's physical condition and that he had only a few years to live, which aroused his few loving fatherly feelings and did not anger him because of the imperial concubine. Jiyue made a fuss and wanted to leave the palace, but the emperor agreed and gave him the title of "Xiaoyao King" so that he could live more freely in his last few years.
