Chapter 1876: Chapter 1876: Man in Black
The Empress looked calm and asked indifferently, “Under whose orders?”
The leader of the Imperial Guard Army still replied coldly, “The Emperor.”
Upon hearing this, the Empress felt a jolt in her heart, but remained composed outwardly.
The Fourth Prince could hardly contain himself and said, “How could imperial father give such an order? He just asked to co and see my Empress mother!”
After leaving the Nurturing Heart Palace, the Fourth Prince ca to pay respects to the Empress. He had just sat down and hadn’t finished his cup of tea when a group of the Imperial Guard Army rushed in unexpectedly, startling him. He feared his previous lies had been discovered by the Emperor, who had sent guards to arrest him.
Amidst his panic, the Imperial Guard Army frantically searched around as if unrelated to him, allowing the Fourth Prince to ease his mind.
The Empress patted his hand without speaking.
The imperial son, who had always been extraordinarily handso since childhood, had suddenly changed, sothing the Empress still found hard to accept.
Indeed, since the Fourth Prince’s birth, she had pinned all her hopes on him. Little did she know that at the critical mont, her son would be disfigured, dashing all her dreams with his misfortune.
The Empress had great ambitions; she not only wanted to be the Empress, the mother of the nation, but also to beco the Empress Dowager. So, the Fourth Prince’s disfigurent dealt her a significant blow, causing an illness from which she hadn’t yet fully recovered.
The Imperial Guard Army, after searching thoroughly, found nothing and withdrew.
Looking at the palace in disarray, the Empress’s face turned dark and she said to the Fourth Prince, “Xuanxuan, see, you just returned disfigured and the Emperor treats your Empress mother this way. Alas! The heart of your Empress mother has turned cold.”
Sighing with resignation, she added that survival within the Imperial Palace is indeed cruel.
In glorious tis, many will co to embellish your success, but in tis of downfall, it’s fortunate if others don’t step on you; nobody will care for you.
Fourth Prince: “Empress mother, do not be too upset; imperial father treated well, even smiled at just now.”
“Don’t be too naive. Who is your imperial father? Your Empress mother is most aware. If you hadn’t claid to have been tied at the palace gate to save him, he probably wouldn’t even pay attention to you.”
The Empress, having accompanied the Emperor for so many years, understood his character thoroughly.
Outwardly, the Emperor seed a gentleman, but in reality, he was an insidious scher with intense paranoia, always suspecting others of plotting against him.
The Fourth Prince fell silent; indeed, initially, the Emperor treated him very poorly. Later, upon hearing it was to save him, did he keep him within the Imperial Palace.
The Empress spoke earnestly, “Imperial son, you have grown up, there are many things your Empress mother doesn’t need to say; you know them in your heart. Now that you’ve beco like this, we mother and son struggle to take a step in the palace, be careful in the future, do not make any further mistakes, otherwise, your Empress mother’s days will be hard.”
The Fourth Prince comforted, “Empress mother, don’t worry too much, imperial father treats you quite well.”
“Silly child, you wouldn’t understand even if told. You only need to rember one thing: don’t cause trouble again.”
“Rest assured, Empress mother, your son will certainly abide by the rules from now on and will never cause trouble for you again.”
“By the way, who were the n in black last night? Do you have any idea?” the Empress asked.
The n in black last night, the Fourth Prince suspected were Long Rui and Xuexue, but with their faces covered, he couldn’t see clearly, thus was unable to make a judgnt at the mont.
