Chapter 568 There was a certain tacit understanding between them.
It was so late. After returning home, Consort Yu changed back into her ordinary clothes, then brewed a pot of tea and quietly sipped it alone.
Granny Ji stayed by his side until Lu Beimo entered the room, at which point Granny Ji led everyone to leave.
"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Consort Yu stared at her son.
She has always been a straightforward person, and she is the same when it comes to her son, so there is no need to waste any time.
"What did your father promise you?" Since her son wouldn't say, she would ask him.
Lu Beimo calmly replied, "There were no promises."
"Ha!" Yu Fei couldn't help but sneer: "I knew it. This old fox would never do anything that would be detrimental to himself. He doesn't even fully trust you yet, so why would he give you any promises?"
"Not to mention, it's just a promise. Even if I actually give it to you, it's just to appease you and doesn't count!"
Ultimately, it wasn't written clearly in black and white; there was no imperial edict or any other proof.
Lu Beimo pursed his lips, looked at his mother who had a forced smile, and said softly, "Then what promise does Mother think Father should make to show his sincerity? An imperial edict? Or should he simply give me the imperial seal?"
Consort Yu glared at him, displeased, and said, "Do you have to speak to your mother in this manner?"
"Your subject has no other intentions, I am just telling the truth. Mother may wish to think about it herself."
Consort Yu continued to glare at him, but what she said made sense.
In fact, she still harbored resentment, which is why she reacted with some emotion to everything her son said and did.
But now, she's slowly calming down.
“At least I did see the joy in his eyes tonight. Your face is intact, and your father is overjoyed. As for why he is happy, you know the answer.”
Although the Emperor is wary of the Qin family, if Lu Beimo is of one mind with the Emperor, then the Emperor doesn't need to be so wary of this son.
In particular, this son, as it stands now, is not only exceptionally capable, but also one in a million in appearance. Even Prince Jin pales in comparison to him.
A son who excels in everything immediately resolved his long-standing dilemma.
"Your father is unwell. Although I don't know what strange illness he has, it's clear that he's quite ill."
Therefore, it was time to establish an heir apparent.
“But he and Prince Jin seem to have some kind of tacit understanding.” Consort Yu held the cup, no longer looking at her son, but at the tea in the cup.
"You also know that Princess Mingyue, don't you?"
"Her original name was Tuoba Mingyue. She was the daughter of Tuoba Hu, but her mother was of lowly birth and her status was far lower than that of her younger sister, Tuoba Feiyuan. However, she was connected with the rebels and was one of them."
"But your father was willing to clear her name, give her a noble status, and even let her marry his own son."
Consort Yu put down her cup, looked up at him, and said, "Unless this Tuoba Mingyue can provide him with significant assistance, he would never do this. But no matter how powerful that so-called assistance may be, it now seems that he has become involved with Prince Jin and is on Prince Jin's side."
Consort Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly snorted coldly: "He must be seeing that Prince Jin's leg has healed, and with no other choice, he plans to make Prince Jin the crown prince."
