The Fourth Prince’s expression changed for a mont; it seed his Empress Mother had placed all the bla for his grandfather’s affairs on him.
"Empress Mother, don’t be angry anymore, Xuanxuan knows he was wrong."
"What’s the use of knowing you’re wrong? Your grandfather won’t co back, what will we do without him in the future? Oh boohoo...," The heartbroken Empress forgot to consider the Fourth Prince’s feelings and poured out everything in her heart.
"Empress Mother, don’t be sad, don’t you still have Xuanxuan?"
"What use is that? You’ve changed, The Emperor has already abandoned you, what can I hope for from you? Henceforth, will I still need to take care of you? How is it that my fate is so bitter? Oh boohoo...!" The Empress spoke as she sobbed.
The Fourth Prince held back for a long ti, but upon hearing the Empress’s words, he finally couldn’t restrain himself, and exploded, shouting loudly: "Empress Mother, no matter what, Xuanxuan is your own son, how can you say such things about your child?"
The Fourth Prince’s sudden anger left the Empress stunned for a mont; she stopped crying and said in bewildernt, "Xuanxuan, why are you yelling at your Empress Mother like this? I’m still sick!"
The Fourth Prince, extrely frustrated, said, "Xuanxuan sees that your health is still fine, please rest well, Xuanxuan won’t disturb you, I bid farewell."
With that, the Fourth Prince turned and left without looking back.
The Empress was dumbfounded, calling after the Fourth Prince’s departing figure, "Imperial Son, Imperial Son, why did you suddenly beco angry? You were just fine a mont ago!"
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince walked quickly, his figure soon disappearing out the door.
"What happened to this child? Ever since his body was damaged, his temper has beco very strange, even I, his own Empress Mother, don’t understand what he is thinking." The Empress wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a small handkerchief.
The palace maid consoled her, saying, "Empress, the Fourth Prince is young and vigorous, he will be fine after a while."
"Did I do sothing wrong?" The Empress pondered with anxiety, not really knowing where she had gone wrong.
She was grieving over the Pri Minister’s departure, completely oblivious to what she said.
The palace maid appeared to want to say sothing but hesitated; indeed, the Empress’s words were sowhat excessive. Knowing that the Fourth Prince was imnsely sensitive about his disfigurent, she used it against him and ntioned that The Emperor had abandoned him. The Fourth Prince, who has always been tenacious, couldn’t help but get angry.
Yes, ever since the Fourth Prince was born, due to the Empress and the Pri Minister’s influence, The Emperor has been fond of him; for over ten years, things had always gone smoothly for him without any setbacks. Unexpectedly, when an accident occurred, his body was ruined and he lost his chance of vying for the throne. For the Fourth Prince, this blow was deadly, always the deepest pain in his heart.
The Fourth Prince never imagined in his dreams that others feared ntioning it in his presence, but his own Empress Mother stabbed him with it directly, causing him great anger.
The palace maid cautiously said, "Empress, perhaps you don’t rember what you said just now?"
The Empress shook her head in confusion; she was too heartbroken at the mont, imrsed in the sadness of losing the Pri Minister, completely unaware of her words: "What exactly did I say? Why is Xuanxuan so angry?"
Gathering courage, the palace maid repeated the conversation between the Empress and the Fourth Prince.
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the Empress angrily reprimanded the palace maid: "Nonsense, whatever the Fourth Prince becos, he is still the child of this Empress. It is not your place to utter nonsense, you cheap maid."
The palace maid, terrified, knelt on the ground with a thud, face contorted with fear, saying through tears, "Consorts Empress, forgive , those words weren’t spoken by the maid, even if a vat of courage was given to , I wouldn’t dare defa the Fourth Prince. Those words were spoken by you, Consorts Empress, I was just repeating them."
