Moreover, Chu Mingyi has become an abandoned son, and it is absolutely impossible for Chu Boting to let him participate in the fight for the heir again.

So this time he also deliberately cut off all his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, you clearly know that this is not what I mean."

"I just want you to leave a suitable candidate for our son's concubine, so that we can help him more in the future."

Concubine Zhen really didn't have the confidence to speak at this moment. Facing Chu Boting's threat, she really could only answer cautiously.

"Concubine Zhen, interfere in the government affairs, be demoted to a noble status, and move out of Zhenbao Pavilion!"

Chu Boting looked at Concubine Zhen deeply, and then spoke without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Concubine Zhen looked at Chu Boting in disbelief. She had been demoted from a noble concubine to a concubine. Could it be that Chu Boting still refused to let her go?

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Concubine Zhen has been by your side all these years and she has done her best. Your punishment for her now seems to be a bit harsh."

The queen was also very surprised. Originally, she could see that Chu Boting was towards Feng Xiaoqi from what happened today, so she had no intention of speaking again, but now she couldn't help it.

Although she hates Concubine Zhen very much in her heart, she is also afraid of Chu Boting's relationship with Concubine Zhen for many years. Chu Boting will regret this decision in the future.

"In recent times, she has exhausted all the last bits of love I had for her."

"I know what the queen means. You don't have to worry. I won't regret it in the future. It's good to have you by my side."

Chu Boting gently patted the back of the queen's hand. He knew the meaning of the queen's words as soon as she spoke.

Thinking about it carefully, after all these years, she was still the queen, and she truly loved him without any purpose.

If it weren't for Feng Xiaoqi, he might really have let down the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty, are you really so cruel?"

The conversation between Chu Boting and the Queen was quite loud, and of course Concubine Zhen heard it clearly. When she heard Chu Boting's answer, she couldn't help but shed tears.

She collapsed on the ground and looked at Chu Boting with despair, and asked the question she was most afraid of hearing the answer to.

She didn't dare to ask before because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the answer. Now she asked specifically to make herself give up completely.

"I gave you a chance, and I keep giving you chances."

"But do you think you cherish it? Have you ever had a moment of peace in recent times?"

"Since you were demoted to the imperial concubine, you have not reflected on what you have done. Instead, you are always thinking about how to lose and regain you."

"I see everything with my eyes. I think I have tolerated you enough. Even just now, I am still reminding you.

Chu Boting looked at Concubine Zhen and answered her questions seriously. Indeed, he had true feelings for Concubine Zhen over the years.

Today he could be considered to have completely ended the relationship between the two of them.

Concubine Zhen's eyes were full of despair, and she collapsed on the ground and cried silently.

He used to dominate the harem, but now people look at him and feel pity for him.

If she had pretended to be weak and pitiful in front of Chu Boting when she was favored before, Chu Boting would definitely be heartbroken.

But now, Chu Boting just watched with cold eyes.

Chu Mingyi came over and silently helped Concubine Zhen up.

Concubine Zhen couldn't help crying. She leaned in Chu Mingyi's arms, out of breath.

Chu Mingyi turned around with Concubine Zhen and wanted to leave. The mother and son had suffered such a big loss here today. He wanted to go back and plan carefully how to regain what was lost.

Although he still felt a lot of dissatisfaction with Feng Xiaoqi in his heart, a large part of it had turned into hatred at this moment.

He began to regret not listening to Concubine Zhen's advice and putting Feng Xiaoqi to death earlier.

Now Feng Xiaoqi has become the biggest weapon to bring him down.

"Presumptuous! Although you have handed over half of your real power, you are still my son."

"Are you planning to completely disobey me by being so unruly?"

Chu Boting became even more angry when he saw Chu Mingyi's actions. He slapped the table and asked him angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Why are you so angry with your own child?"

The queen did not expect that Chu Boting would suddenly become so angry. This is a stone table. Would it not hurt if it was slapped on it?

The queen held Chu Boting's hand in hers distressedly and rubbed it gently, trying to relieve the pain.

"You and the two of them will get married tomorrow, and this matter must not be delayed any longer."

Chu Boting did not answer the queen's words, but he also held the queen's small hand with his big hand, and then said to Chu Mingyi.

Chu Mingyi supported Concubine Zhen and had already turned around and walked out. When he heard Chu Boting's words, his figure stopped and continued walking forward without looking back for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you can't really get angry with the Second Prince. He suffered too many blows today and it is inevitable that he will break the rules."

"Father and son don't have an overnight feud. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."

Seeing that Chu Mingyi ignored Chu Boting and continued to take Concubine Zhen away from the queen, he quickly spoke to Chu Boting to persuade him, for fear that he would continue to be angry.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Chu Boting patted the back of the queen's hand again to comfort her.

"Brother Emperor, please go back and rest with your wife-in-law first."

"Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about anything. The emperor's sister-in-law is right. It's not worth being angry over him."

Chu Ang also came to Chu Boting and spoke to help persuade.

Feng Xiaoqi followed Chu Ang, lowering her head and saying nothing, not knowing what she was thinking.

"You don't have to worry about me. After what happened today, Concubine Zhen will inevitably have a grudge against Feng Xiaoqi, and the Queen Mother doesn't like her either. I'm afraid you will have to worry more about protecting her safety in the future."

Chu Boting shook his head. In fact, he was not really angry. In this palace, everything was true and false.

If he doesn't show such an angry state, it's hard to guarantee that Chu Mingyi and Zhen Fei won't make some crazy noise.

Adhering to the attitude of doing more than doing less, Chu Boting just tried to leave a thought for the two of them, making them feel that he was too angry today and there would be a chance to relax in the future.

"Yes, brother Huang, please don't worry!"

Chu Ang glanced at Feng Xiaoqi next to him, then cupped his fists at Chu Boting.

"That's it for today. Let's all disperse."

Chu Boting explained to everyone present and finally pulled the queen away.

"Uncle Emperor, thank you very much for today."

The third prince, Chu Xiaoran, came to Chu Ang and Feng Xiaoqi immediately after Chu Boting left, and saluted Chu Ang and Feng Xiaoqi.
