Chapter 946: The Ungrateful Son 22
As soon as Concubine Xian finished speaking, the others also quickly expressed their desire to visit the Second Prince.
"Alright," Jiang Chunxi frowned and said unhappily, "It seems that you won't give up until I let you visit the Second Prince. In that case, then all of you should go visit the Second Prince tomorrow!"
Jiang Chunxi then rubbed her brows and said, "Let's all withdraw!"
All the concubines stood up, bowed to Jiang Chunxi, and left with their maids.
After they left, Jiang Chunxi asked Miaoyin to put on her makeup again, making her look radiant, and then she came to the back hall where the second prince lived.
Walking into the dim room, Jiang Chunxi waved her hand to let everyone go out, then came to the bed and looked down at the second prince lying on the bed.
"Mother, you are back too, aren't you?" The Second Prince's voice was extremely weak, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Chunxi was naturally full of hatred. "Why, why did I become like this? It's you, right? It must be you who made me like this."
"Mother, you have such a cruel heart! In your previous life, you poisoned my father, and in this life, you harmed my son like this. How could there be such a vicious woman like you in this world? I am your biological son! And you, a vicious woman, actually want to harm even your own son."
"It's a good thing that I killed you in time in my previous life. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have ended up like my father, being silently poisoned by your vicious woman."
The second prince died of old age in his previous life, but he never expected that he would be able to be reborn after death. However, when he was reborn and faced with his current horrible appearance, he simply could not accept it.
"You little beast can kill his mother, so why can't I harm my son?" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "You know, I gave you your life, and I didn't kill you directly. I just made you look like this. So compared to you, little beast, I am much kinder to you."
"You should know that in your past life, you not only murdered your mother, but also your own grandfather's family." Jiang Chunxi's eyes turned cold and fierce. "You ungrateful bastard, don't you think that if it weren't for me and the Jiang family, would you have been able to sit on the throne in your past life?"
"You should know that your good father only recognized the Third Prince, born to Concubine Chen, as his true son. He had long ago decided that the Third Prince would inherit the throne. And you, the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager, are a thorn in his side."
"After all, you know all too well how your father oppressed us, mother and son. When you were avenging your father, why didn't you think about how hard it was for you to survive under his watchful eyes, afraid that if you weren't careful, your father's butcher knife would fall on you?"
"So what?" the Second Prince said with difficulty, his eyes wide open. "A son should not criticize his father's mistakes. No matter how bad my father was, he was still my biological father. And you, a vicious woman, killed my biological father. How can a son like you not hate you?"
"The most important thing is, if you can poison my father, who knows if you will poison me, your son, one day to support the young emperor and become the empress dowager who rules the country from behind the scenes."
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi laughed. "This must be the real reason why you poisoned me in your previous life! I always thought you were so filial to your good father, the Emperor."
"How can I allow others to sleep soundly on my bed?" the Second Prince said excitedly. "My Queen Mother is as cruel as a snake and scorpion. I, your son, can only take the initiative to prevent myself from following in my father's footsteps."
"Yes! You are right," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, not angry. "So, after I was reborn, I took the initiative. Your good father is only hanging on by a thread now. You and your son can be said to be sharing the hardship. After all, you are both hanging on by a thread."
"As for those good brothers of your previous life, they are either dead or never had the chance to be born. In this life, you are your father's only child!"
"It's just a pity that even though you are your father's only child, he has never taken you seriously. In the past ten years, your father has never even come to see you, let alone ask about you."
"Honestly, as a son, you are truly a rare person. Just imagine how much your father dislikes you. This is why, in both your father and son's lives, you can't even hope for the slightest bit of his kindness."
The second prince had been locked up by Jiang Chunxi since he was over one year old, so he naturally knew nothing about the situation in this palace.
The Second Prince's eyes were bloodshot: "Poisonous woman, you poisonous woman."
"Yes! I am a vicious woman," Jiang Chunxi laughed happily, "but what can you do to me?"
"Tsk tsk! Look at how pitiful you are! I feel so happy just looking at you. Don't worry, you are my own son after all. No matter how cruel I am, I will not kill my own son. After all, even a tiger won't eat its poison. I am not your good father who would show no mercy to his own son."
"So! Just live well for me!"
"Kill me, kill me," the Second Prince said with a furious expression, yet his tone was pleading. "Please give me a quick death! Rather than living this life worse than death, I would rather die now. So, Mother, please give me a quick death!"
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi laughed heartily. "I'll give you a quick laugh. How could you say such a daydream?"
Jiang Chunxi bent down and stroked the Second Prince's face: "My good son, live well for me!"
"Oh! By the way, the concubines in the harem will come to visit you tomorrow. In order to prevent you from saying anything you shouldn't, I will give you a bowl of mute potion. Anyway, you are in such a terrible state, so whether you can speak or not is not important, right?"
"Haha!" As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chunxi laughed heartily and turned away.
"Mother, please come back. I am your own flesh and blood. How can you be so cruel to me?" The second prince struggled to get up from the bed, but he was too weak. At most, he could move his head, but his body and limbs could not move at all.
Not long after Jiang Chunxi left, Miao Ke personally brought a bowl of mute medicine and made the second prince drink it.
The next day, after paying their respects, all the concubines followed Jiang Chunxi to visit the second prince. When they saw the second prince's appearance, they were all shocked and looked at Jiang Chunxi with pity.
After all, it is so cruel for a mother to see her only son in such a terrible state!
Facing the pity of the crowd, Jiang Chunxi wiped her tears silently with a handkerchief: "My sisters, please don't pity me. As long as my child is alive, I will be satisfied. I believe that Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu can understand me the most."
Concubine Shu immediately wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty is right. If my child had survived, he would have become like the Second Prince, and I would have been happy with that."
Concubine Hui had a rather grim expression on her face and said nothing. After all, she was the one who knew best what had happened to her son.
