Chapter 131 The Queen's Hatred (12)
Huo Qing was not happy with her, and was not happy with Xiao Qingyang becoming Huo Qing's tutor.
Huo Chengwang felt upset, he had never felt so upset before. Ning Shu sighed and said, "The Queen Mother has kept the dog's body, you can bury it when you are well."
Huo Chengwang stared at Ning Shu and asked word by word, "Father also had a little fox by his side. Father could keep the little fox, but he said that I was playing with things and killed the dog. Why could Father do it but I couldn't?"
"Chengwang wants to know why?" Ning Shu looked at this child. He was different from before. After experiencing hurt, he should have become aware of it.
Even though he had the noble status of a prince, this nobility was like floating duckweed without roots.
Ning Shu smiled calmly, "Why? Because your father is the emperor. He holds the fate of all people in the world in his hands. Our fate is in his hands. No one can challenge him. He has absolute power to protect what he loves and can deprive others of the most important things, but no one dares to say anything."
"Father is the emperor. He has the power to protect what he cherishes?" Huo Chengwang looked at Ning Shu in a daze.
Ning Shu hugged Huo Chengwang and said lightly: "Chengwang, there is nothing absolute in this world. Everyone has to pay the price for what he did. Mother hopes that Chengwang can be happy, but don't yearn for the affection of ordinary people from your father. Your father is the emperor. He dominates our destiny. Even our lives are in the hands of others, let alone feelings."
"Mother, what should Chengwang do to not feel so bad?" Huo Chengwang shed tears and looked at Ning Shu, "I want to protect you, I want to protect what I cherish. I don't want what happened today to happen. Mother, I feel so bad, so bad."
Ning Shu felt sour in her heart. She wiped the tears on Huo Chengwang's face with a handkerchief and patted Huo Chengwang on the back. "Chengwang, be happy. Happiness is something your father can't deprive you of. Mother hopes that Chengwang will be happy. Today's matter will be justified for you."
"Mother." Huo Chengwang threw himself into Ning Shu's arms and cried loudly.
Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to vent than to hold it in her heart.
Huo Chengwang still had tears on his face, Ning Shu wiped the tears off his face with a handkerchief.
"My queen, please have something to eat." Qingzhu looked a little haggard, having stayed with Ning Shu all night.
Ning Shu brought over the porridge and said to Huo Chengwang, "Chengwang, eat something, so you can get better quickly."
Ning Shu fed Huo Chengwang porridge one spoonful at a time. Huo Chengwang asked Ning Shu, "Mother, has my father been here? Has my father come to see me?"
"No." Ning Shu shook her head, "Chengwang, mother has said not to have too many feelings and expectations for your father."
"I just want to make sure that what my father did before was wrong, and it caused me a lot of harm. I am his son, and I want to see my father feel a little guilty." Huo Chengwang said.
Ning Shu had a smile on her face, "Mother's Chengwang has grown up, but some people don't feel anything even if they hurt others. Even if they realize that they have hurt others, they still don't take it to heart."
Huo Chengwang finished a bowl of porridge and lay down to rest. Ning Shu saw him curled up in the quilt and still crying.
Ning Shu sighed in her heart, ate a little and then stayed by the bed.
"My queen, the lady handed in a card and wants to come to the palace to see the little prince." Qingzhu whispered in Ning Shu's ear.
Ning Shu waved her hand, "Tell them not to pass the card to the palace now, and don't let the female relatives enter the palace for a while. Qingyang stays in the palace. Chengwang should have a companion by his side in this situation. Don't worry, mother, I will protect Qingyang."
Qingzhu went out with a sad face.
Xiao Qingyang, who had breakfast, came to wait, waiting for his little cousin to wake up. When the concubines came to pay their respects, Ning Shu didn't want to see them at all. She was in no mood at all.
The concubines sent a lot of things, but Ning Shu asked Qingzhu to stuff them into the storeroom without even looking at them.
At noon, Huo Qing finally knew that his son was sick, and came with a cold face. Ning Shu was really annoyed by his behavior. If she didn't want to come, then forget it.
Huo Qing questioned Ning Shu: "Why didn't you tell me that Chengwang was sick?" If it wasn't for the old father, who was still the queen, asking about the little prince's health during the court session, he wouldn't have known that Huo Chengwang was sick.
Huo Qing instantly felt that his dignity was challenged. He was the master of the palace, and others knew what happened at home before him.
What happened in the palace was known to everyone outside. What did he think of his own palace?
Ning Shu was Spartan when she heard Huo Qing's words. She had never seen such a shameless person. He scared her son and made him sick, and now he even questioned her.
Ning Shu was roaring in her heart, but her face looked tired and eager to explain, "Chengwang had a fever in the middle of the night, so I didn't disturb the emperor."
"You should have sent someone to tell me in the morning." When she was asked by her father-in-law, she was almost confused, which made Huo Qing very unhappy.
Ning Shu said lightly: "I didn't sleep all night, my mind was really confused, and I forgot to send someone to tell the emperor. It was my fault."
Huo Qing was a little speechless for a while. He sat on the bed and looked at the sleeping Huo Chengwang and asked: "How is he now?"
"Much better." Ning Shu said.
Huo Qing's face was not good, and he said coldly: "As my child, he actually got sick for such a small thing. Are you worthy of being my son?"
Ning Shu: Fuck you...
Nima, it seems that your son is not a human, not a flesh and blood, and will not be sad. In the end, it's just that he doesn't care.
If it were his child with the little fox in the bed now, I'm afraid he would have roared and wanted to chop off the head of the imperial physician.
Ning Shu twitched her lips and said lightly: "I will take good care of Chengwang."
Huo Qing left after a while of hesitation. He didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea. He probably went back to find the little fox, fearing that the little fox would be angry.
With Ning Shu's company day and night and Xiao Qingyang's care, Huo Chengwang's illness took more than a month to recover. After such a month, Ning Shu felt that she had lost weight.
Huo Qing only came once, and never came at other times. He seemed so cold. He was so cold to his own children. Huo Chengwang didn't ask whether his father had come to see him.
Ning Shu felt that Huo Chengwang had changed a lot. He was not as lively and playful as before. Now he would study on his own without Ning Shu telling him. Ning Shu often counseled Huo Chengwang. Before, she tried every means to make Huo Chengwang study, but now she wanted Huo Chengwang to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
Being a mother is really hard.
