The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 358 Side story (A Feng story)
Liu Ru is not a foolish woman. There was no way he would destroy his son's bright future just because of his little problems. It would be very incomparable if for the sake of a little freedom, he had to sacrifice the future of his son. That's too detrimental.
Sima Yi was the eldest son of the Second Prince's residence and the most important was his son's status as a legitimate child. Regardless in the future Sima Feng would raise a concubine and eventually have another son. Xiao Yi's position was still the highest, not comparable to the illegitimate son of her husband's concubine.
Therefore, Liu Ru chose to stay and temporarily went to the capital during this second pregnancy.
That's right, she's pregnant right now.
This should be some exciting news. But unfortunately Liu Ru had not told Sima Feng the news of her pregnancy. In times like this, telling the news of her pregnancy will only make people who hate her switch to targeting the child in her stomach.
" Mom sure you'll come with me to the capital? " Task Xiao Yi once more.
" absolutely. I want to stay with you. Are you happy? "
" Of course mom. Then what about dad? "
" Your father is a grown man, he doesn't need a mother to take care of him. There are other women who will willingly take care of it. So don't worry about him. " Liu Ru looks so indifferent. But believe me, his heart was really so tight when he said it.
Xiao Yi did not immediately reply, but asked again. " Mommy, aren't you jealous if you take the concubine? " Xiao Yi has long wanted to ask this question. He wanted to know how his mother felt about his real father.
" When you decided to marry your father. I prepared myself for that possibility. Although Her Majesty the queen promised that there would be no concubines in your father's harem. But I kept preparing myself for other possibilities. "
" Therefore, if you ask what a jealous mother is then the answer is of course yes, no woman actually wants to share a husband with another woman. But the jealousy has slowly changed with logic that should be preferred instead of feeling alone. "
From Liu Ru's reply, Xiao Yi could see that the mother had already suppressed her own feelings to not drift away in her feelings of love for the father, or the worst thing is that the mother has killed her own heart not to feel jealous.
After the decision, Xiao Yi immediately talked to his Aunt about his return to the capital as well as his mother who was willing to return with him. Sima Fei, who could not bear to stay there, was mainly because of her brother's attitude which had recently been disappointing. Of course welcome the decision of his brother-in-law who wants to return to the capital together with him.
" Sister-in-law, good decision. I'll take care of you later. Forget about your useless husband. " Sima Fei expressed her disappointment to her brother.
" Don't say it like that. In any case, A Feng is a general who brings victory to our Empire. He is the hero of this country. " It was very disappointing, but the fact that she was her husband cannot be ignored.
" You're still protecting him. He has disappointed you, brother-in-law. You are forbidden to leave the residence and must copy the scriptures as punishment for actions you did not do at all. Is not that the same as useless. Because he couldn't even find the real culprit. "
Liu Ru chuckled. " Are you sure that it wasn't me who poisoned Gu Feifei? "
" Of course I'm sure. "
" What if I really did it? "
Liu Ru thought she would see the disappointed expression of Sima Fei, in fact it was an astonishing thing that came out of her mouth.
" I will support you brother-in-law" replied A Fei.
A Fei's unexpected answer made Liu Ru laugh and shake her head. The path of his sister-in-law's mind was completely other than the others. Does he not realize that what he is doing is wrong.
" Okay, sister-in-law. I will send a letter to my father and mother to inform them of our return.I also have to prepare a few things before my return to the capital. "
A few days passed. Sima Feng had not seen Liu Ru since the last time they met. Repeatedly Liu Ru decided to meet him in his study. But it was always rejected by Ling He.
This is the answer Ling always gives. Until Liu Ru finally decided to stop seeing Sima Feng.
" Your Majesty, the rebels of the Wei kingdom again attacked the village west of the border. " Report one of Sima Feng's subordinates.
" How dare they. Ling He, prepare everything. We'll be leaving in an hour. "
Ling He knew this was an emergency, so he quickly carried out what his master had ordered. Until the two set off and forgot to tell Liu Ru the two of them off.
At dinner, then,
" Servant Hu, where is His Majesty? is this evening also His Majesty choosing to eat in his study again? "
Butler Hu looked at Liu Ru with a puzzled expression. " Mistress, Your Majesty went to the village west of the border to capture the looting rebels and also massacred the citizens there. So Your Majesty won't be eating for the next few weeks. "
" When did he leave? " It wasn't Liu Ru who asked, it was Sima Fei.
" His majesty set out an hour after the messenger sent the news. " Answer Gu Feifei.
" Nobody thinks you're mute even if you don't talk. So stop interrupting, I was asking butler Hu, not with you. " Cynic Sima Fei.
Gu Feifei was angry. It was very desirable at this moment as well that he grabbed the neck and strangled Sima Fei with all his might until he was out of breath. His mouth is too poisonous.
Even so, Gu Feifei could only hold on and tightly grip his clothes under the table.
" So butler Hu, when is my brother leaving? " Sima Fei repeated her question.
" His majesty left within an hour after the messenger came, princess. " Answer-head Hu.
One corner of Gu Feifei's lips rose. Suddenly he got an idea.
" Wangfei, I think His Majesty already told you about his departure considering he also told me just before he left. I don't think that His Majesty will forget to tell you. "
Gu Feifei intentionally said it all. He wanted Liu Ru to think that Sima Feng had forgotten about him.
Indirectly Gu Feifei said that Sima Feng had already forgotten about it.
Of course Liu Ru was aware of the provocation that Gu Feifei was making. Even though he looks unaffected. But deep down there was a bit of jealousy. He knew that Gu Feifei was trying to make some distance between himself and Sima Feng by saying that.
Although common sense Liu Ru convinced herself not to believe Gu Feifei's words. But his heart refused, and he unconsciously believed. Making himself again feel a sense of disappointment at Sima Feng.
" His Majesty is not a 4-year-old boy who has to tell me wherever he wants to go. He was a grown man, a great general, and also a prince. Do you think that if he tells her his departure and I forbid, Your Majesty will obey? "
Then Liu Ru chuckled. " I just feel funny about you. The prince told you about his departure and it makes you so proud. But unfortunately in my eyes it looked like Xiao Yi was asking me for candy. You're not your noble mother, are you? "
Sima Fei was stunned when she heard that. " It's unfortunate that my mother had to be with him. "
Gu Feifei who had not expected Liu Ru's reaction could only clench his hands tightly. It was upset that the woman was not affected at all.
