The Royal Highness - C45

CHAPTER 45 – Stick close by

Seeing Xiang Ye remain silent, the empress dowager grabbed her son’s sleeve and said, “If you want to become an emperor, mother would rather go back to the Jizhou Palace and not see any results in these seven years. Even if you become a prisoner, you at least have a conscience.”

When Ruo Yao had passed away due to her sickness and the high fever, it had been almost exactly the same. The empress dowager’s heart was about to break. After saying that to her son, she took her leave of Maid Eunuch, saying that she would take care of him personally.

The crowd burst into an uproar, the Consort Shu tightly knitted her brows, hearing that her cousin had passed away with a fever.

As expected, he heard Lin Zhaoyi ask: “Imperial Concubine Su, that was how Queen Shouan died back then, right?”

Seeing that her relationship with the Empress was bad, she thought that she would not put the Empress in her eyes, and spoke in a righteous tone, “A woman with a delicate life, since she is said to be an immortal fairy, then it’s time for her to return to the Heavenly Court after walking around in the mortal world and becoming the most esteemed Empress.”

A faint chuckle could be heard, but he heard the Consort Shu berating him coldly, “Who is joking?”

Silence filled the hall for a moment, then the Consort Shu asked again, “Who is joking?”

The women pushed a beautiful lady who was around twenty years old out. Consort Shu said coldly, “Drag him down and punish him with a staff of twenty.

“Empress …” “Empress …”

The beautiful woman, who had once looked respectable in front of the Emperor, was forcefully dragged away by the palace maids. She shouted in fear, and quickly disappeared from the Palace of Peace.

Consort Shu stood up and said, “Disperse. The weather is hot and there is no need for you to come to Palace of Peace. The Empress only sees you at the early age of 15. As for the rest of you, don’t make me hear your disrespectful words to the atrium, the one who disobeys you will end up like this, or else if you have the ability, you will surpass me first. ”

The concubine s hurriedly bent their knees, not daring to do so. They only let out a breath of relief after the Consort Shu left the main hall, and then said to each other, “What’s wrong with the Empress, do you really want to follow the little empress?”

Lin Zhaoyi scoffed, “The Jiang family and the Queen Shouan are separated by a layer of cousin, and cannot compare to the empress dowager’s Shen family. If not for Queen Shouan’s support, she would …”

Sun Xiurong pulled her up and said in a displeased tone, “Elder sister, don’t talk so much. We don’t even know how Qinzhou is right now.

Lin Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows, and at once became speechless. Her gaze swept across the crowd, and saw the submissive Wang Ying, and was about to find an excuse when a maid came over hurriedly and said: “Wang Ying Yu, you’re awesome. The palace maid is hanging on a tree in the study room, and says that she wants to kill her.”

Wang Xi was so scared that her face turned pale. She did not care about Lin Zhaoyi and the others and ran after them in panic.

However, Lin Zhaoyi called out all the sisters. “What are you all standing there in a daze for? Go watch the show, she’s really giving birth to an extraordinary son.”

The news of what happened in the study room was quickly transmitted back. Er Zhen passed a bowl of Elsholtzia Soup to Consort Shu and explained in a low voice, “That palace maid was saved by Wang Rou Yu. She was also injured after getting hit by the hot air. After asking the reason, he said that the tea given to him by the palace maid was too hot and had angered His Highness, so he hung her up. ”

Consort Shu felt his temples throbbing, her heart was stifled and she was unable to breath, lazily pushing them away.

If such a violent matter were to be spread out, the Emperor would surely lose face. It was unknown how he would be angered when he returned. Consort Shu usually protected her son and intentionally ignored royal eldest son. Previously, it was indeed unjustifiable for her to be the head of six palaces, but luckily, she has atrium now, so it was not her fault.

Furthermore, for the sake of the empress’s sickness, it would have been fine if Qiu Miner had really died, but if she could just take back her life like this, it would definitely affect the Emperor’s heart greatly. He would have thought, that my cousin left this woman for him, chose her to be his replacement, and he would even be able to let go of the knot in his heart.

Consort Shu angrily slapped the table, her red nails digging into the wood: “Why, why?”

Er Zhen advised: “Esteemed Empress, on such a hot day, you must not be angry or sick.”

At this moment, it was a coincidence that the same sentence was said by Third Wife to Zhao. Today, when a few of the younger generation were fighting, Zhao’s eldest grandson had her face scratched by Third Aunt’s grandson, so she brought her child to denounce him.

However, she was mocked by the Third Wife: “We are all old master’s grandsons, why do you need to be so serious Madam. If one were to talk about the nobility of direct descendants, hehehe, would there still be anyone in the Prime Minister’s House that was more respected than the empress? If the Yuanzhou’s madam were to stay at home, wouldn’t you have to kowtow even if you were to, Madam? “Madame, you’re no longer a princess. Don’t be so angry on such a hot day, no imperial physician will come and take a look at your illness.”

Third Wife was the strongest and most beloved of my concubines. In the past, even if she was a princess, she wouldn’t dare to do anything to me. Furthermore, Qiu Miner had changed from a lowly servant girl to a first-class lady. Her dignity had been trampled on until it became tattered beyond recognition, and at home, she no longer had any dignity anymore.

The two sides were in a stalemate. Zhao’s servant girl hurried over and whispered into her ear, “Madam, Qinzhou has sent news that the empress is gravely ill.”

Zhao’s eyes lit up, and her gloomy face immediately lit up: “Really?”

Even though they were separated, the news was delayed. By the time it was spread throughout the capital, the empress had already recovered from her predicament. On this evening, the people who had been in a coma for two days finally woke up.

Her body felt like it had gone through a fierce battle. When she opened her eyes and regained consciousness, this feeling caused her to panic, thinking that the Emperor had drugged her again. However, the Emperor’s face suddenly appeared in front of her and with a deep sense of exhaustion, she coldly asked, “You’re awake?”

The little girl’s mind went cold, and she was completely awake.

Afterwards, the palace maids waited on her until her hands were free, then gave her water to feed her medicine. After a series of torments, she leaned against the headboard of the bed and listened to the palace maids repeatedly mutter, “For the past two days, the emperor has accompanied the Empress by her side day and night. The servants and maids have no way of helping.”

But when she saw that the empress dowager was rushing over with all her people, she couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “At least, God bless you. Poor child, you’ve suffered again.”

The Emperor, Xu Bu, had already changed his clothes, stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at her indifferently and then avoided her. She still remembered what she said to him on that rainy night, and she didn’t want to die anymore.

The empress dowager was in the midst of rejoicing when the Maid Lin hurried in. When the empress dowager had arrived, someone had delivered a letter, and the empress dowager had left a message for her to receive, but she had not expected that it would be such an incredible matter. With a troubled expression, she said to the empress dowager and the emperor, “A letter from the Grand Princess.
