Chapter 532 Finding Biological Parents
Ning Fengzhe leaned on He Shu's arm, slowly stood up, and sat back on the side.
"can you?"
Seeing that he was still stubborn, He Shu became worried and a little anxious.
"Throughout history, there have been many such incidents, haven't there been many?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were pure and clear.
"If my life is in danger, they won't be able to stand by and watch, right?"
He Shu looked stern and gave a solemn reminder.
"Don't count on them to rescue you. During the Yuesheng Xingliang Battle, you were trapped in the Xingliang Palace. If someone had rescued you, how could you have ended up being seriously injured and returned?"
"They don't care about your life at all!"
Ning Fengzhe's pupils were dim, as if there was a storm.
"why?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Am I not their biological child?"
Knowing that he was sad, He Shu softened her voice and comforted him patiently.
"You are not wrong. It's all their fault for being so indifferent."
"Parents and parents as despicable as they are are rare in the world."
As she thought about his words carefully, she suddenly had an idea.
"Maybe you really aren't their biological child."
Ning Fengzhe's elegant expression was covered with a hint of doubt.
"I was just complaining casually, why did your Majesty say that?"
He Shu lamented the present and recalled the past.
"We got along very well, and it felt like a happy family gathering. I think this is not an illusion."
"To be honest, I lost a beloved son in the past. He was about your age and is also ten years old this year."
"That year, I lived with the Emperor at the Gu Mansion. I went through a lot of hardship carrying a child for ten months and gave birth to a beloved son. But after only seeing him once, he disappeared. I searched everywhere for him but could find no clues."
"Many sisters in the back house have lost their beloved sons and daughters to varying degrees. Thieves are cunning and cunning, making it difficult for us to guard against them, but we can confirm that the cause of the disappearance is the infighting within the family."
Ning Fengzhe subconsciously raised a question.
"Family strife?"
Thinking that he didn't understand, He Shu laughed at herself.
"Look at me, I am talking without thinking. You should just ignore the last two sentences."
She stared at him, with some concern and some earnestness.
"I am probably delusional. I actually feel that you are the beloved son that I accidentally lost."
Gu Mengzhen never explicitly stated where those children went, but Ning Fengzhe could easily guess from their daily conversations and words.
His father's secret must be kept strictly confidential, so he pretended to be ignorant of it and continued to make his plan.
"Your Majesty's words are not just wishful thinking."
"To be honest, I feel the same way."
He Shu was pleasantly surprised.
"Is this true?"
Ning Fengzhe nodded and gave a well-reasoned analysis.
"Yes."
"Ning Mu's family said something like this: adopted children don't need to be sincere. I didn't understand it all the time. Now that I think about it, the person they were referring to was probably me."
He Shu agreed repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, they must be talking about you."
"Back then, Madam Ning had just married into the Ningguo Mansion when she became pregnant with you. This is very strange. How could it be so easy to get pregnant?"
"It must be someone from the Gu Mansion who took my child away with malicious intent and sent him to the Ning Mansion!"
Ning Fengzhe appropriately showed his childishness and ignorance.
“Why do they do evil?”
He Shu made an excuse not to answer.
"When you grow up, you will understand. There is no need to find out now."
Ning Fengzhe obeyed obediently.
"Yes, Xiaoke obeys."
After searching for her beloved son for many years, He Shu was overjoyed that her dream finally came true.
"Well, good boy, you are so obedient."
"Please kneel on the cushion and greet me, so that I can fulfill the relationship between you and me as mother and son, okay?"
As they were not related, Ning Fengzhe did not want to address her as his mother, so he declined.
"Please forgive me, Madam Queen. I cannot bear the pain in such a short time."
He Shu treated him as her beloved son and was especially tolerant of him.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault for being so impatient. Take your time to accept it. Don't be anxious."
Ning Fengzhe smiled happily.
"Thank you for your understanding, ma'am."
He Shu thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
Or he could use the news of favoring his concubine and killing his wife to distract Mu Yan's attention, so that the people of the Ning and Mu clans would temporarily not care about Feng Zhe.
Then, she could take the opportunity to take back her beloved son.
"You follow me to Zhaoyi Palace and express your feelings to the Imperial Concubine."
"Don't be timid. She doesn't dare to act arrogantly. I will stay by your side and will do my best to protect you."
Ning Fengzhe agreed obediently, got up from his seat first and gestured for him to come in.
"I will obey your Majesty's orders."
"Your Majesty, please go first."
Special permission provided by He Shutaoran.
"We, mother and son, walk side by side, without observing conventional etiquette."
Ning Fengzhe's flattery and ingratiation were just right.
"Thank you for your attention, I am flattered."
He Shu was filled with emotion, covering her chest, unable to suppress her love.
"Your words and actions are exactly the same as mine. You are indeed my child."
She ordered the palace maid to take the badge and leave the palace, presenting a gift box to the North Hall of the Ningguo Mansion. Then she stood up, left the main hall with him, got on the carriage, and went to Zhaoyi Palace.
Mu Yan was looking forward to her nephew's return.
In order to support Fengzhe's plan, she had to pretend in front of others, especially in front of Zhong Suluo. Therefore, she could not rashly go to the Xuan Palace to watch over He Shu in person, otherwise, it would appear that she was on guard and extremely dishonest towards her sisters.
A lack of patience will ruin great plans, Mu Yan warned himself in his heart.
I don't know how long I waited, but finally a palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, Madam He Xiuyuan and Young Master Ning want to see you."
Upon hearing the name He Xiuyuan, Mu Yan's face quickly darkened.
What is she doing here again?
"pass."
He Shu and Ning Fengzhe entered the hall to pay their respects.
Mu Yan allowed him to sit down and was about to ask He Shu about her reasons when he heard Feng Zhe speaking with great emotion.
"My nephew has found his biological parents and will soon change his nationality and surname. I am here to say goodbye."
"From now on, the Imperial Concubine is no longer my aunt."
The accident came suddenly, and Mu Yan was shocked as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
"what?!"
"Biological parents?"
She repeated the four words while looking at He Shu.
"He Shu, isn't that too much?"
"I have done my best to politely decline the offer. You can just coax him with a few words, but how dare you tell such a big lie?!"
He Shu spoke with a firm tone and concerned eyes, and from time to time she checked with Feng Zhe to see if he was safe.
"Your Highness, I have seen clearly that I did not lie."
"Fengzhe is indeed my beloved son."
It sounded like there was no lie in it. Mu Yan's eyes froze in shock.
"are you crazy?"
"Is he ill and dizzy?"
"Fengzhe is from my Mu family, or you can call him Ning family. What does it have to do with you?"
He Shu didn't blush, didn't feel guilty, and was full of confidence.
"Your Highness knows the truth."
Mu Yan had mixed feelings and a complicated expression, seeming to be smiling but not smiling, and crying but not crying.
"What do I know?"
"My sister was pregnant for ten months, and my mother was there to accompany her during the birth. In the end, she gave birth to a beloved son for you, right?"
"You keep lying and yet you take it seriously. You are simply the most ridiculous person in the world!"
Ning Fengzhe chose the right moment to speak, as if he believed it.
"My Lady, please stop lying. I already know the truth about my origins and I have no doubts about it."
