Chapter 498: White Xiu Bo's Big Move

Lu Qi never expected someone to dare speak such words in the palace, as if she wasn't afraid of being overheard or reporting to the Emperor.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Qingyun glared at Lu Qi, "Don't think that just because you called me Mother, I'll acknowledge you as my son. I have only one son!"

Lu Qi took a deep breath, unsure if she was truly carefree or intentionally disturbing his thoughts.

She was Lu Yuan's mother, and her true identity was likely the Princess of Miaojiang.

The 'old man' she mentioned must be the Miao King.

Has the Miao King arrived in the imperial city? Lu Qi led his horse away.

"Has the old man come?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow in question.

Liu Qingyun wiped her son's forehead with a handkerchief, "Scare him!"

Lu Yuan: "..."

Liu Qingyun tidied her son's loose hair, "But he should arrive in the imperial city within these two days. If you're not confident, I'll put on a show for you later, and we'll delay the horseback archery until after your maternal grandfather enters the city."

Lu Yuan spoke with a light tone, "My son isn't that weak."

Liu Qingyun proudly said, "I guessed so too."

Lu Yuan thought of something and asked, "Mother, why did you come to the stables?"

Liu Qingyun's eyes flickered, "To find you."

Lu Yuan stared at her intently, "Did you do something again?"

Liu Qingyun earnestly replied, "No, nothing. I didn't do anything. What can I do? I just arrived at the palace, and I'm not familiar with the place yet."

Lu Yuan said, "You're not familiar with the place, but you found the stables?"

Liu Qingyun: "..." Oh, Hui Fei Niang Niang called me! I have to go!"

She quickly left.

Lu Yuan stroked his chin, entered the stables, and led out his white horse, "I'll take you for a ride."

Meanwhile, Lu Qi was halfway through taming a horse when Dou Qingyi, who had come to look for him, arrived.

This time, he was certain he hadn't mistaken her.

"Mother."

He dismounted.

Dou Qingyi held a package of pastries and said to Lu Qi, "The Empress Consort specially had these made for you."

"I'm full," Lu Qi said.

Dou Qingyi sensed her son's low spirits and asked, "Qi'er, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy. Are you worried about the upcoming horseback archery competition?"

Lu Qi paused for a moment, hesitated, and finally voiced his confusion, "I just mistook someone else for you and called her Mother."

Dou Qingyi blurted out, "Is it Lu Lin Yuan's mother?"

Lu Qi looked deeply at Dou Qingyi, "How does Mother know it's her?"

Dou Qingyi realized her slip of the tongue and laughed awkwardly, "I'm just guessing. You and Lu Lin Yuan are of similar age, and our mothers should be around the same age too."

Lu Qi didn't argue with her about the validity of this reason, but instead asked, "Why does Mother resemble her? Does Mother know her?"

Dou Qingyi smiled, "How could I know her? The world is vast, and there are all sorts of wonders. There are bound to be people who look similar."

Lu Qi stared intently into Dou Qingyi's eyes, "But Mother and she aren't similar in appearance, it's their tone of voice, their posture, and their clothing style that's similar, as if... one is imitating the other."

Dou Qingyi said, "Qi'er, you only need to know that the woman your father loves is me."

Lu Qi said, "Is the father in Mother's words the Prince Jin or the Crown Prince?"

Dou Qingyi was stunned.

Lu Qi retracted his sharp gaze and returned to his usual gentle and respectful demeanor, "I understand. I'll go tame the horse now."

He glanced at the pastries in Dou Qingyi's hand and said, "Mother, you keep them to eat."

He mounted his horse.

Dou Qingyi watched her son's departing figure without turning back, and suddenly felt a chill.

Her throat moved, and she quickly stepped forward, grabbing his hand, "Qi'er, you are the flesh and blood I carried for ten months. Mother can lose everything, but I can't lose you.

"Lu Qi looked down at her from above, 'Even 'Father King' can be lost, right?'"

Dou Qingyi was stunned.

The son, whose face was hidden in the shadows, gave her a sense of shock and unfamiliarity.

"Qi'er..."

Lu Qi smiled, "I know your answer, Mother. In your heart, I'm more important than 'Father King', and that's enough. I'll make you the Empress."

He withdrew his hand.

"Qi'er!"

Dou Qingyi hurried after him again.

She looked around and, seeing no one nearby, took out a feicui ping from her wide sleeves and handed it to him, "Do you remember what Mother taught you?"

Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, "Mother, I don't need it."

...

Dou Qingyi returned to her seat among the nujuan.

The latest chapter is out! Read it now!

The Empress rode in her sedan chair to the horse ranch for some fresh air.

In the imperial city, the mornings and evenings of April brought a chill, but the noonday sun was scorching, making people sweat profusely.

Empress Hu was feeling the heat and had also called for a sedan chair to cool off.

Liu Qingyun was engrossed in eating snacks.

The snacks in the palace were delicious!

Suddenly, a dark shadow loomed over Liu Qingyun.

Without lifting her head, Liu Qingyun recognized who it was and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Dou Qingyi said, "Can I have a word with you?"

Liu Qingyun put down her snacks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Sure."

Dou Qingyi led Liu Qingyun to a small pond in the horse ranch, where a row of trees provided some shade and a hint of coolness.

Liu Qingyun spoke indifferently, "Say what you have to say, and if you have nothing, then leave."

Dou Qingyi, with an air of superiority, said, "I'm the Side Consort of Prince Jin, and you're just a nameless woman. Shouldn't you be paying your respects to me?"

Liu Qingyun nonchalantly sized her up, "It's been years, and your arrogance is growing faster than your age."

Dou Qingyi's eyes flickered, "What did you say?"

Liu Qingyun shook her head, "Don't pretend, Dou Qingyi. I already know who you are."

Dou Qingyi clutched her handkerchief tightly, "Did the Crown Prince tell you?"

Liu Qingyun acknowledged, "Yes."

Dou Qingyi's face turned slightly unpleasant, "How... how could he..."

Liu Qingyun said, "How could he not talk to me about anything? Aren't you aware of this? Ah Yan has never kept secrets from me, but I never imagined that the person I saved back then would turn around and stab me in the back!"

Dou Qingyi mocked, "You regret it, don't you? Being too kind and trusting others is your biggest weakness."

Liu Qingyun spoke seriously, "Kindness isn't my weakness, but malice is your flaw. I've also saved many people who are different from you because I have a conscience, so I have nothing to regret."

Dou Qingyi looked towards the shimmering pond, "At this point, you can only be stubborn."

Liu Qingyun said calmly, "You called me here just to acknowledge me?"

Dou Qingyi said, "I want you to withdraw your son from the Qilin Competition."

Liu Qingyun asked, "What if I don't?"

Dou Qingyi removed the hairpin from her head and aimed it at her wrist, "If you don't agree, you'll be accused of plotting to harm the Side Consort of Prince Jin today."

"The letter has already been sent to Qi'er, written in your own handwriting, telling him to give up the competition, or you'll kill me. I never thought you could even imitate my handwriting!"

"Oh."

Liu Qingyun raised her eyebrows, "Since you say so, then—get lost!"

Liu Qingyun lifted her leg and kicked her into the pond!

"Trying to frame me, think again in your next life!!!"

Bai Xiaopang: Son, I tried my best, I couldn't hold back at all.
