The Story of the Charming Empress - C54

Only then did the young eunuch raise his eyelids, and with a shudder, he hurriedly bowed, and said:

“This servant will report now!” With that, he slipped into the inner hall.

After a moment, she ran back, out of breath, and replied, “Esteemed wangfei, please wait in the side hall.”

I stepped into the side hall and waited for the time it took to make two cups of tea, but I still couldn’t see Lady Xuanhua, so I sent Chen to inquire about it. Chen promised and went to the main hall. I thought to myself, “Sure enough, she was unwilling to see me that day after offending Xuan Hua?”

After Chen had left, he did not return for another half a day. My heart was filled with doubts, but just as I was about to go out and inquire about the news, I saw that Mrs. Xuanhua had arrived with Chen.

“How does royal father’s dragon body look like?”

Madam Xuan Hua shook her head slightly and sighed:

“Day after day.”

I carefully examined Lady Xuanhua’s expression and saw that her eyes were slightly red and swollen. Apart from being worried and sighing, she didn’t reject me in the slightest. If she follows my advice, how can I explain what happened after that?

If it wasn’t for her fanning herself by the pillow, why would the Emperor want her as his successor? Naturally, I could understand her thoughts. In my heart, I also praised her intelligence. She wanted to protect herself. Even if the Emperor were to pass away, she would still be the empress dowager of tens of thousands. Naturally, there would be no pain in guarding the mausoleum.

“Can you allow me to pay my respects to royal father?” Even though I knew that the Emperor would not see me, I still wanted to try.

“I can’t make a decision either. Send someone to report it to His Majesty. Let’s see what His Majesty’s decision is.” With that, he sent a palace maid to the main hall.

After a while, the palace maid came back and said:

“The Emperor said he won’t see her.”

“Since that’s the case, I can’t help you. However, I believe that with your filial piety, His Majesty will feel gratified. I have to attend to His Majesty, so it would be inconvenient for me to accompany him any further. ”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll head back to the manor as well. I’ll come again to pay my respects another day.” I said, and took him back to the mansion.

In the evening, when Yang Guang returned home, he immediately asked:

“I heard you entered the palace today?”

“Yes, chenqie will pay respects to father. It’s a pity that father won’t see chenqie.” I wondered why Yang Guang was so angry. I was the princess consort of the imperial court, and it was common for me to enter the palace. What was there to be displeased about from him?

“Oh? You are very filial, do you really want to see royal father? ” Yang Guang’s eyes flashed with a sinister light as he whispered into my ear.

His words carried a hot and wet smell that made my ears hurt. My entire body trembled in fear, but I quickly calmed down and said,

“Father’s dragon body is not well. As a daughter-in-law, I should have served before, but I couldn’t even meet Father in person, much less be filial.”

Yang Guang pondered and said nothing. I then said, “Guanglang can see royal father every day, I wonder how is it now?”

“If you want to see him, it’s not that difficult. In a few days, I’ll personally bring you to see royal father.” Yang Guang said after pondering for half a day.

“Really?” I asked. The sneer on his face always made me nervous.

“Of course.”

Yang Guang did not break his promise, and a few days later, he brought me to the Eternal Fortune Palace to meet the emperor. When I saw the emperor, my surprise could no longer be described with words, he was lying on the bed, his face was sallow, his cheekbones were high, and he was so skinny that only skin and bones remained.

“Father —” I walked over and knelt down.

The Emperor rolled his eyes slightly. When he saw that it was me, he revealed a disappointed expression and said with a pale and weak voice.

“I …” To see… Yong’er … “Yong’er …”

I turned my head and shouted to the attendant:

“Hurry up and call Yang Yong to join us!”

The two supervisors looked at each other, and looked at Yang Guang at the same time. Yang Guang’s face was cold as he said:

“How could that be? Did my beloved concubine hear wrongly? royal father will not see anyone! ”

“You — —” I looked at Yang Guang in shock, and suddenly realized that it wasn’t that the emperor didn’t want to see anyone, but that Yang Guang had placed a house on the emperor!

I never expected Yang Guang to be so bold. Taking a few steps forward, I angrily asked:

“Did you do all this?”

Yang Guang slightly nodded, and fiercely said:

“Don’t forget your status! You are the Crown Princess of Gu!”

I was so angry that my whole body was trembling. Yang Guang was so cruel. The emperor was on the verge of death, yet he didn’t even want to invite an imperial physician.

“Don’t forget as well, the Emperor is your father!” I was so angry that it attacked my heart. Even though I had some resentment towards the Emperor, but when I saw how cruel Yang Guang was, my feelings were mixed. I felt a chill seeping into my heart.

Yang Guang looked at the dying emperor, and a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, it instantly vanished as he coldly said with his back facing me:

“You don’t need to be reminded by your beloved concubine. Your beloved concubine can return home. As for how to explain today’s situation to the outside world, your beloved concubine should be very clear about that, right?”

As long as I still have a bit of benevolence left, I will never leave. I walked in front of Yang Guang, coldly faced him and said word by word:

“Get royal father a doctor!”

Yang Guang frowned, and said with some anger:

“I originally thought that my beloved concubine was a smart person who brought you here, but do you think that royal father can still walk out alive?”

If that was the case, then the Emperor must have already known everything that he had done before, which was why he was so vicious as to not give the Emperor a chance to continue his actions.

I knew it was hopeless to beg him, so I turned back to look at the Emperor. The Emperor was so angry that his veins were popping out and his whole body was trembling. He hurriedly walked over and the Emperor gestured for me to help him sit up.

I took a pillow and put it behind his back. With red eyes, I called out,

“Father!”

The emperor looked at me approvingly before shaking his head. Suddenly, a cold sneer appeared on his face. Neither of us expected that the emperor would still have the strength to laugh.

“I, Yang Jian, have known countless people in my life, but I never thought that I would have such an unfilial son!” A wolf’s ambition is worse than a beast’s! Cough, cough, cough, “The emperor started coughing violently. I hurriedly brought out a bowl of hot soup and fed the emperor two spoonfuls of soup. After eating a bit of soup, his face gradually turned red and he continued to shout loudly.

My God!” I am actually blind, and have set up an animal as a pawnbroker, and am in deep sorrow! The people were sad! Big Sui Yi is finished! ” The emperor suddenly pointed his finger at Yang Guang and used the last bit of his remaining strength to shout, “You have framed your brother, colluded with the imperial concubine, poisoned your father, and will be ordered by the heavens! It will be ordered by the heavens!

The emperor’s withered hand slowly drooped down as his head tilted to the side. His eyes were filled with anger, but there was no sound or breath left in them.

It was unknown when Yang Su walked into the hall, but she looked at me in surprise and then looked at Yang Guang, as if questioning why Yang Guang had brought me here. However, the emperor had already passed away, and everyone was standing there without saying a word. Yang Guang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he had been struck by the heavens! He was so shocked that he unknowingly walked up to the emperor’s bed and kneeled on his knees, crying.

“This son is unfilial! I beg the royal father in heaven to forgive this son! ”

I endured my sadness and ridiculed him, “Isn’t it too late to say those words now? royal father won’t be able to hear it. ”

Yang Guang ignored me and used his fists to beat his chest. No one tried to pull him back, and no one dared to make a sound, after a while, Yang Guang vomited blood.

“Crown Prince!” What are you doing? The Emperor passed away! You better pull yourself together! ”

Yang Guang no longer had that cold and sinister look from before. He fell into Yang Su’s arms muddle-headedly, and started to cry sorrowfully. I knew that he was afraid, that he was guilty, that what remained of his father and son, and what was left of his conscience, frightened him and left him at a loss.

Desolation and sorrow intertwined within my heart, breaking all of my internal organs inch by inch. There wasn’t a drop of blood on the wound, but rather a scab that rapidly formed, overlaying all of the wounds on my mind. The chill came up, forming pieces of ice as hard as stone, no pain, no tears, and there was even a hint of a sorrowful smile on my face.

Some of the eunuchs cried out in grief one after another:

“The Emperor passed away!”

“The Emperor passed away!”

One voice after another traveled out of the palace gates and into the ears of the people of the world.
