I took a bath for half an hour and added hot water during this period.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen came out of the bathtub, wiped his body clean, put on a large outer robe and moved to the inner bed.

"Chu Chen." Zixi stood in front of the bed and asked him, "Do you have a deep relationship with your mother?"

This sentence seems to be nonsense.

Zixi had been to the Prince of Qing for some days, and naturally he could feel the princess' deep love for her son - like any normal mother, she had no reservations about her children's love.

However, even though she was talking nonsense, she still asked in one go.

Chu Chen was stunned and nodded: "My father and mother have only one son, I, and she has been very fond of me since she was a child. When she was twelve years old, she left home to study in Dongling. My mother felt that she had not protected me well, so she was sent to the Dongling imperial capital as a proton at a young age. She felt that she was both guilty and longing for me."

She smiled, "After she came back, she wanted to double the compensation for me. In addition, due to my health, she almost always responded to my request."

When Zixi heard this, he was silent for a while.

"If there is poison in your body..." After hesitating for a moment, she stared at Chu Chen calmly, "It was your mother who did it on purpose-"

"How is that possible?" Before she could finish her words, Chu Chen interrupted her in surprise, "Zi Xi, how is this...--It's possible?"

Zixi didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly.

Chu Chen's expression was slightly tightened, but he slowly shook his head: "Zixi, you said that this poison was brought out from the womb. I believe it. But my mother should not be able to poison herself, just to murder her son, right? Zixi... have you made a mistake?"

Zixi said that his mother had a secret...

If his poison was really brought out from his mother's womb, then he believed that perhaps there was something secret in his mother, or that something unknown happened before.

Even he believed that what Zixi said was not beautiful - since it was an unknown secret, it was certainly unlikely that it was a beautiful thing.

But my mother poisoned herself...

How is this possible?

Even if Chu Chen thought about ten thousand possibilities in his mind, he would never think of such possibilities.

If the person who said these words was not Zixi, Chu Chen would even sneer and say absurdity. But the person who said these words was Zixi, so he could only guess whether she was wrong?

"I also hope I got it wrong." Zixi said lightly, "There is only one month left before your 18th birthday. I must give you some psychological preparation in advance, for fear that you will not accept it after you suddenly know the truth."

Chu Chen was stunned.

The hand hanging on his side unconsciously grabbed his robe.

"I can only tell you for the time being that maybe the kindness and filial piety you have always believed in is simply an illusion." Zixi's voice was calm, but there was always a hint of unfinished sigh, "You... think about it carefully tonight, but don't think too much, wait for me to find out all the truth..."

"Zi Xi." Chu Chen interrupted her again, "I am the only son of my mother."

Zixi was silent.

"She has only me, why should she harm me?" Chu Chen frowned, "This makes no sense."

There is only one son...

Zixi narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were stunned.
