Chapter 427 Ignorance is not a crime
Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Xiumei? Xiumei won't come."
The Queen Mother asked in confusion, "Why?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said sternly, "Because the Queen Mother asked her to abort the child. Because the Queen Mother wanted to kill her grandson."
The Queen Mother said angrily, "Your Majesty, you...you are blaming your own mother."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "The Empress Dowager isn't concerned about Xiumei. The Empress Dowager isn't concerned about the child. The Empress Dowager is concerned about the purity of the bloodline of the Great Xuan Dynasty."
The Queen Mother said, "Well, I know you have a lot to say. So go ahead and say it. Speak, I can bear it. Even if the sky falls, I can bear it."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "My son, please ask your mother, what crime has this grandson committed that warrants his death?"
The Queen Mother said, "His origins are unknown. How can I allow him to enter the palace?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I dare to ask the Queen Mother one more question: Can Xiumei have another child after entering the palace?"
The Queen Mother shook her head gently, "No."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Just because Xiumei is Han, right?"
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, Xiumei's admission into the palace as a noble lady is already a great favor from the Great Xuan Dynasty. She should be content with this and shouldn't ask for anything else."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "What the Empress Dowager said about the Manchus and the Han being one family turned out to be a lie."
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, this is the final compromise made by the princes to you."
Emperor Gai Zhang stood up and said, "You princes are truly very kind."
He took two steps and turned his back to his mother.
The Queen Mother said, "They can accept Xiumei into the palace. But they cannot accept this child."
Emperor Gai Zhang clenched his folding fan and said, "Is this the Daxuan Imperial Family's ultimatum to me?"
The Queen Mother said sternly, "The Great Xuanjiang Mountain cannot fall into the hands of others. Even if they are only half of their bloodline, it is not acceptable."
Emperor Gai Zhang said: "I have poured all my love into Xiumei."
The Queen Mother said, "It seems that Xiumei has decided to disobey my imperial decree."
Emperor Gai Zhang said: "That's right, Xiumei must protect her child."
The Queen Mother angrily asked, "Is this also what the Emperor meant?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said with a firm look in his eyes: "If I can't protect my child, I will have no face to see Xiumei. I will also have no face to see all the mothers in the world."
The Queen Mother said angrily, "Doesn't this include me? All mothers in the world want the best for their sons. I am no exception."
Emperor Gai Zhang looked at his mother and said, "Empress Mother."
The Queen Mother said, "As a mother, I always worry about my son, but my son always blames his mother. I'm used to it."
Emperor Gai Zhang knelt down and said seriously, "My son is unfilial."
The Queen Mother said, "Mother has done everything she could for her son. Whether you want the child or the throne, it's up to the Emperor to choose."
Emperor Gai Zhang put down his folding fan, took off the imperial crown on his head, stood up, walked to the dragon throne, put the imperial crown on it, and knelt down again.
He bowed to Chao Guan and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Mo."
A familiar voice came.
Mo Li walked out of the house and asked, "Who?"
The man said, "I."
Mo Li walked towards the person. It turned out to be Aunt Tao. He said, "Aunt Tao, what's going on?"
Aunt Tao said, "Lord Mo, is the emperor alright?"
Mo Li suddenly realized and said, "How could the emperor be in trouble?"
Tao Sangu said, "I accidentally offended the emperor before. I was afraid that the emperor would blame me. I was so scared that I couldn't even eat."
Mo Li said, "The Emperor is magnanimous and will not blame you. Besides, ignorance is not a crime."
