Chapter 572: Chapter 365 It seems some things should be laid out on the table_2
Yang Yi turned his back, hung his head, and wiped his eyes with a raised hand: "Since it wasn’t you, since you didn’t participate in his decisions, why do you ask for my forgiveness?"
Saying this, he turned around with tearful eyes, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, giving a heavy bow: "Your unfilial son pays respect to his mother."
The Empress could no longer hold back, dropped to her knees, and embraced him, wailing with anguish.
"It’s my fault you suffered! It’s my fault you suffered!"
An Empress who upholds the world, and a Prince who has endured hardships, neither were ones to hesitate, and finally, this mother and son, separated for years, were no longer estranged.
Outside the courtyard, the three members of the Pei family watched this scene, and only after a long while did they silently sigh and turn away.
"Thank heavens they’ve finally resolved the misunderstanding."
Mrs. Pei wiped her eyes and said emotionally.
Pei Yu paced a few heavy steps, finally stopping: "I don’t understand what happened in Huzhou back then, but the Emperor must have had no choice in making such a decision."
"You men always have your reasons! Couldn’t even protect his own flesh and blood, yet dare to say he had no choice!" Mrs. Pei scolded him mercilessly, "If you did such a thing, I would chop you to pieces!"
Pei Yu was at a loss for words under her scolding, glancing at Fu Zhen beside him, furiously signaling to his wife: "Don’t talk nonsense, how could I do such a thing?"
Fu Zhen coughed twice: "I’ll go see if the kitchen has prepared the dishes?"
With that, she hurriedly slipped away.
Only when she was out of sight did Pei Yu breathe a sigh of relief and complain to his wife: "In front of our daughter-in-law, at least give me some face, how can you just start scolding?"
Mrs. Pei snorted coldly: "Crows are black all over the world! The Emperor doing such a thing, causing them to be separated for so many years, if the Empress were any weaker, she wouldn’t have lasted until reuniting with her child today! And you defend him, who am I supposed to scold if not you?"
Pei Yu threw up his hands anxiously: "I just said one thing, didn’t I?"
"Even one thing shouldn’t be said!" Mrs. Pei poked his chest with her finger: "I’m telling you, the Empress and the Crown Prince trust us, we must help with this matter! We must ensure the Crown Prince recognizes his ancestry, allowing mother and son to meet daily, and be together long-term!"
"Don’t rush, now," Pei Yu hurriedly reassured, "We still have to ask the Crown Prince’s opinion on this, didn’t you just hear what Zhen Er said? He has a hurdle in his heart he can’t get over, we must solve the problem at the root!"
"Then think of a way!" Mrs. Pei said, "Don’t leave everything to our son and daughter-in-law, how long have they been married, and the daughter-in-law hasn’t conceived yet, don’t you want a grandchild? Hurry and let them make it happen, or the daughter-in-law will run away someday!"
Pei Yu braced himself: "Got it, got it, I’ll wait until the Empress and the others come out and see what’s going on before talking about it."
Only then did Mrs. Pei glance at him, saying no more.
In the courtyard, the mother and son have calmed down, and Yang Yi assisted the Empress to sit on a chair.
The Empress held his hand tightly, unwilling to let go, examining him repeatedly, watching him tearfully, wiping away tears to keep looking, as if trying to make up for over twenty years of lost time all at once.
The cold severity and estrangement that once enveloped Yang Yi had vanished, as he let the Empress caress his face, simultaneously observing his aged mother.
"I know you’ve suffered greatly, if you still don’t want to speak, it’s okay, I know revisiting it would mean reopening old wounds.
"Let’s just talk about now, just this time—what made you decide to reveal your identity to the Ning Family?"
Yang Yi steadied his breath: "I suppose that girl has already told you everything. I revealed myself because Dayue’s remnants are targeting Dongzi, and war might erupt again.
"Although I don’t want to be entangled with the palace and the court, I am still a citizen of the Great Zhou, I can’t stand by and watch another war affect the Great Zhou, our people have suffered too much, they need peace, need time to recuperate.
"So I went directly to find Zhen Er, I was being tracked by Dayue people in Camp Town, and happened to see her courage and quick wit, plus she’s Mr. Ning’s granddaughter, and Ming Zhi’s wife, it was most suitable to approach them with this matter."
The Empress nodded, her eyes full of relief: "My son truly is accomplished, considering things so thoroughly, and what’s even rarer is that you have a loyal and righteous heart, worthy of being a descendant of our Yang family."
