Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Mutual Warnings

"Mother Consort," Nan Cong immediately bowed his head in a salute.

His tone was also very distant, not to mention enthusiastic, it was barely maintaining a superficial respect.

After all, since he was very small he knew that his mother had given birth to him only to vie for favor.

But what a pity, with the existence of the Empress, no matter how many princes his mother gave birth to, his father would not spare her a glance.

When Nan Cong felt pity for his mother’s plight, there was also a sense of vindictive satisfaction.

He always thought that it was his mother’s lack of ability that couldn’t capture his father’s heart.

How could it be that the Empress, even in death, could make his father constantly pining for her?

But his mother...

Heh, all she had was her skin, without a trace of ability.

If she could have captured his father’s heart back then, he would be the one residing in the Eastern Palace today.

Seeing the malice in Nan Cong’s eyes, Consort Wei naturally knew what he was thinking.

Heh, you lack capability and yet blame it on me?

Consort Wei harbored extreme dissatisfaction towards Nan Cong as well.

"Speak, what brings you to Chengping Palace today?" she asked bluntly.

As she raised her hand, a little eunuch immediately came over to support her.

She clung to him like a snake, transferring all her weight onto him.

The little eunuch kept his head down, not making a sound, silently bearing it.

Nan Cong looked over and could tell that this little eunuch clearly had an Adam’s apple.

He snorted coldly, then warned, "Mother Consort, you can play if you want, but this is the Imperial Palace. If you let someone catch your weakness, at that time both I and the Wei Family will be dragged down by you."

He had long known that his mother could not bear loneliness, secretly keeping quite a few men in the palace.

She truly had the audacity, to carry on affairs right under the emperor’s nose.

Nevertheless, the emperor was really foolish, to not have discovered anything amiss over all these years.

Hearing Nan Cong’s words, Consort Wei was extremely impatient.

"If you have come to warn me, then you can get out," she rebuked angrily.

She wasn’t favored by the emperor, and now her own son had the nerve to lecture her?

Upon hearing Consort Wei’s scolding, Nan Cong was not angry.

He simply stated, "Uncle Xuwang has rebelled."

At this news, Consort Wei was not surprised.

In this Imperial City, what secrets could there be?

Although she lived within these deep palace walls, wanting to know the secrets of the outside was not difficult.

"And then? You surely don’t think that you can sit back and watch the tigers fight?" Consort Wei sneered, her tone dripping with dislike.

Mother Consort knows of his plan?

A flicker of annoyance passed through Nan Cong’s eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Consort Wei knew she had guessed correctly.

Her look of irony deepened, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, Nan Li and Chu Baihan are not easy targets. Xuwang has only gained a temporary advantage. Moreover, he has not yet managed to escape the capital city; whether he can leave alive remains to be seen. Don’t be too naive."

Although she despised that lowly woman from the Qiang Family, she had to admit the woman was formidable, raising a pair of children who were truly exceptional.

This worthless son she had borne was destined to be defeated by them.

Hearing his mother raising Nan Li and Chu Baihan on such a pedestal, Nan Cong clenched his fists tighter, the resentment and anger in his eyes growing even more intense.

"Mother Consort, you may look down on your son, but you shouldn’t underestimate... Uncle Xuwang, right?"

When Nan Cong mentioned "Uncle Xuwang," there was a noticeable emphasis in his tone.

Concubine Wei’s eyes darkened slightly.

She pursed her red lips, gazing at Nan Cong with a distant look.

After a long while, she ordered the palace maids in a cold voice, "All of you, leave us."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The palace maids hurriedly ran out.

Soon, only Concubine Wei and Nan Cong were left in the room.

"What did you mean by the words you just said?" Concubine Wei asked sharply.

"Mother, I have heard that before you entered the palace as a concubine, you had a romantic relationship with Uncle Xuwang. Also, when Aunt Xuwang was younger, she bore a resemblance to you," Nan Cong said somberly.

With a loud "smack," Concubine Wei smashed a teacup onto the ground.

"Do you realize what you’re saying? You are insulting your mother’s reputation!" Concubine Wei’s voice rose sharply.

But Nan Cong’s expression became much more relaxed.

His mother had always enjoyed suppressing him, no matter how well he did, she always considered him useless.

Now that he could finally see her lose her composure, he felt quite pleased inside.

However, when he thought of the things he had people investigate, he felt nauseous.

This vile woman, even after entering the palace, still often secretly met with Uncle Xuwang.

"Mother, if you truly can’t let go of Uncle Xuwang, then why did you enter the palace in the first place?" he asked casually as he took a seat opposite her, posing the question as if it was an offhand remark.

"You beast, you’ve investigated everything about me, you know the answer in your heart, so why bother asking me?"

Concubine Wei withdrew her gaze, her voice filled with disgust.

She now didn’t even want to glance at Nan Cong.

The two things that infuriated her the most in life were her inability to surpass that wretched woman from the Qiang Family and raising a useless son.

Now that their conflict was out in the open, Nan Cong was unwilling to waste words on her.

He directly challenged, "Am I really Father’s son, or am I Uncle Xuwang’s son?"

"What do you think? Whose son are you? Or rather, whom do you wish to be the son of?"

Concubine Wei sneered, her eyes mocking as she looked at Nan Cong.

Her words left Nan Cong silent.

He neither wished to be the son of his father the Emperor nor Uncle Xuwang.

After all, neither man had shown him the slightest bit of paternal affection.

However, if this fact could become a weapon in his hand...

He would hope he was Uncle Xuwang’s son.

He could not count on his father the Emperor.

But if he were Uncle Xuwang’s son and if Uncle Xuwang succeeded, wouldn’t he then become the Crown Prince?

With this thought, excitement surged in Nan Cong’s eyes, barely concealable.

Concubine Wei gave him one glance and could guess his thoughts.

She sneered, "Don’t get carried away; you are your father’s son."

"But, I could also be Uncle Xuwang’s son, couldn’t I?" Nan Cong spoke with an eerie tone.

Concubine Wei furrowed her brows fiercely, "What do you mean by that?"

"Mother, Aunt Xuwang and all the concubines in the Xuwang Residence bear a strong resemblance to you. This year, Uncle Xuwang has taken in several beauties who also possess your charm. In the end, Uncle Xuwang has yet to get over you. If you tell him that I am actually his son, do you think he would help me?"

Nan Cong revealed his plan.

"You’re dreaming. He’ll never believe it! If you want to live out your days in peace, you’d best not involve yourself with him!"

Concubine Wei, as if thinking of something terrifying, raised her voice a few notches, and her eyes reddened.
