PFC Chapter 268 Guilt Gives 1 Point of Compensation
Chapter 268 Guilt Gives 1 Point of Compensation
Liang Hengrui heard this and laughed bitterly. He wrapped his mother tightly in a quilt and tucked the corners of the quilt for her. Then he said distressedly,
"Look, mother, this is the man you were so desperate to marry back then?! At this critical juncture when your life and death were in danger, he actually abandoned you like a worn-out shoe for a piece of nonsense! Hehehe...where is my good father!"
Liang Hengrui's disappointment did not arouse Xiao Guifei's anger. She kept talking to herself.
"It's gone. My son, mother can't find it! No matter how hard I look, I can't find it! I'm so scared, I'm afraid it will dislike my ugly appearance and abandon me, it won't want me anymore!"
Liang Hengrui felt heartbroken listening to Concubine Xiao's stubborn words.
"Mother, you still have me!"
"It's different. It's been with me day and night for more than 20 years. I can't live without it. I can't live."
Concubine Xiao looked at her son and shook her head, her beautiful eyes empty and out of focus.
*
Liang Hengrui was almost pissed off.
I feel like they are both hopeless! They are both trapped in love to such a sad and lamentable extent.
He turned Concubine Xiao's face, looked directly at her and roared,
"Mother, can you please look at me and sober up? Father is not worth your tears.
You know better than anyone that royal men are ruthless. But why does he become different when it comes to you?"
The roar finally worked and Concubine Xiao was finally awakened.
*
She looked at her son blankly for a long, long time.
Slowly, his eyes began to become clear and lustrous.
Then he smiled with his cracked lips. As he smiled, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a fierce look appeared on his face, which was swollen from being struck by lightning.
"My son, don't be afraid. Mother is not crazy. Mother knows exactly what she wants and what we are going to do.
Don't worry! Mother will not fall. What is the emperor? Mother has long disdained him.
You are the only one in my mother's eyes. You are the motivation for my mother to live.
For you, Mother will march forward bravely and forever."
It would be a lie to say that Liang Hengrui didn't feel hurt by Concubine Xiao's crazy words.
Rights, rights. At this moment, no one wanted to hold them tightly in his hands more urgently than he did.
He had been feeling aggrieved for too long. He wanted that position, and he wanted that woman too.
*
Liang Hengrui clenched his fists, his face was unpredictable as he gritted his teeth.
"Mother, please take a good rest. I will go to the Imperial Study.
Remember, we must not lose his heart. In a few days, when your injury is better, go and ask the emperor to banish you to the cold palace."
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao and Nanny Yao, who was wiping her tears, screamed in unison.
"Mother, you should take the opportunity to retreat. Right now, you should make good use of your father's guilt for leaving you behind and strive to gain more benefits and favor."
These words also awakened Concubine Xiao, who had been thinking about it. She nodded heavily.
"Yes, mother understands."
"Okay, lie down quickly! Don't think too much. Living well is the greatest help to me, your son."
Liang Hengrui comforted Concubine Xiao and let her lie back on the bed, and tidied her messy hair.
Then he turned around and walked out.
*
"My Lady, have you come to terms with it? Nanny will live well and stay with you forever!"
Aunt Yao came over with a worried look on her face.
Concubine Xiao watched her son leave and heard Nanny Yao's trembling words of concern.
She raised her hand and slowly touched her empty neck. The button that had been with her for more than 20 years could no longer be found after being struck by lightning.
It seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without any trace at all.
She said nothing, but closed her eyes in unbearable pain, and a line of tears fell into the quilt.

imperial study room,
Eunuch De came forward to report.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rui requests to see you."
"Him? Pass it on."
"Here."
As soon as Liang Hengrui entered the room, he saw Emperor Kun, who was busy reviewing memorials, and bowed respectfully.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."
"Prince Rui, get up quickly. You asked for leave from the morning court today, and your father knew that you were going to visit your mother. How is she? Is she okay?!"
Emperor Kun felt a little embarrassed about his sudden brain failure last night that led to his desertion.
"Thank you, Father, for your concern. Mother is fine.
However, I asked my mother the reason, and she said that there was thunder and lightning last night and she was so scared that she couldn't sleep.
She stood in front of the window holding the jade pendant you gave her, reminiscing about the good old days. Unexpectedly, then... "
Emperor Kun felt even more guilty when he heard this. He could not say anything more while watching over his son, so he just nodded softly.
"Father knows."
*
A moment of silence,
Emperor Kun, perhaps to compensate for the slight guilt in his heart, looked up at the Second Prince Liang Hengrui and said,
"Prince Rui, you are not young anymore. The prince is not at home now.
There are too many things to do in the court, and your father is a little weak. Starting tomorrow, you will follow your father to handle some government affairs!"
When Liang Hengrui heard this, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. He never expected that an unexpected accident involving his mother would lead him to the opportunity to take part in the court affairs that he had always dreamed of getting involved in.
Liang Hengrui did not hide his joy, bowed deeply and said excitedly,
"Thank you, father. I will work diligently and do my duty to help you."
"Well, leave now! Go spend more time with your mother. Your father will go to see her in the evening."
"Thank you, Father. I will take my leave."
When going out, Liang Hengrui's steps were floating.

Let's say,
Yin Ruyi brought the gifts and went to the Eastern Palace with the wet nurse holding the young prince of Rui.
Outside the door, the gatekeeper, Mrs. Wang, came hurriedly to report,
"My Lord, Consort Yin from the Rui Palace wants to see you. She also brought the young prince of Rui with her, saying that they are here to visit the two young masters."
Fang Qingge was stunned. It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. No matter who it is, they come to visit the child with good intentions.
She nodded.
"Please ask Concubine Yin and the others to go to the hall first!"
"Yes." Mrs. Wang left in a hurry again.
*
Nanny Jiang was also surprised for a moment, and looked at Fang Qingge and asked,
"Fang Liang Di, the young prince of Rui has arrived. Do you think we should still let the babies out?"
"No, they are still injured and cannot meet guests."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang nodded and followed Fang Qingge to the hall.
*
in the hall,
Yin Ruyi bowed to Fang Qingge who came in.
"Greetings to Sister Fang."
"Long live Concubine Yin."
Fang Qingge returned the greeting.
"Greetings to Fang Liangdi."
The wet nurse holding the young master bowed.
"No need to be polite. Is this the young prince of King Rui? He is so handsome."
Fang Qingge also loved the beautiful little baby in the wet nurse's arms, who looked like an ice sculpture or jade.
"Yes, Sister Fang, this is the young master. Brother Chang, come and call her Lady Fang."
After hearing this, Chang Ge'er turned his face away and ignored Concubine Yin.
