Chapter 1837: Chapter 1837: Recuperate Well in the Palace Chambers Chapter 1837: Chapter 1837: Recuperate Well in the Palace Chambers Even more so, Sui Zilin acted on his own, never coming to seek his approval but always decisively taking matters into his own hands.
He suddenly felt a sense of crisis, fearing that if this continued, he, the Emperor, would truly be sidelined by the Queen and his own son, and besides, the Queen rarely visited him now, surely she was teaching Sui Zilin how to handle court affairs.
Were this mother and son planning to join forces and snatch his realm from him?
“Curses!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca, clenching his teeth in hatred.
“Soone, co here!”
“Your Majesty, what are your orders?” Eunuch Gui stepped in and asked respectfully.
“Draft an edict imdiately, send Prince Lin back to his fief! Without my permission, he is never to return!” the Emperor commanded Eunuch Gui.
“What?!”
Eunuch Gui was shocked by the Emperor’s words.
Recently, Prince Lin had been handling court affairs particularly diligently, and many courtiers were praising him. Why would the Emperor send him back to Sui Commandery at this ti?
“Your Majesty, Prince Lin has only just returned, if we are to send him back to his fief, what reason shall we give?”
He asked the Emperor weakly.
Summoning soone back for no good reason and then sending them away just as arbitrarily. Was this like playing with cats, or walking dogs?
“Just find any reason, but make sure he does not appear in Shaohua City ever again!” The Emperor spoke angrily.
“This…”
“Nonsense!”
Just as Eunuch Gui wondered whether to respond, a sharp rebuke ca from behind him.
The Empress Dowager, with a cold face, walked in, looking displeased at her son lying on the bed.
“Your Majesty, what nonsense are you spouting now? Everyone, leave,” she waved her hands at the eunuchs and maids in the room, signaling them to leave so she could talk to her foolish son.
“Empress Dowager, this…”
Eunuch Gui looked at the Empress Dowager with pleading eyes.
“The Emperor is delirious, are you delirious too? Leave,” the Empress Dowager coldly glanced at Eunuch Gui.
“Yes, this servant will take his leave,”
Eunuch Gui bowed his head, sighed softly, and hurried out of the Emperor’s chamber.
“Mother!”
The Emperor, seeing everyone had left and unable to follow through with his plans, felt even more frustrated.
“Your Majesty, you need to co to your senses. Do you truly wish to ruin the empire passed down by our ancestors?” the Empress Dowager glared at him, questioning sternly.
“Mother, when have I ever ruined the empire passed down by our ancestors? It is clearly that wretched son who wants to seize power!” the Emperor said.
“Empress!”
The Empress Dowager was truly infuriated by him.
He couldn’t manage this country properly, and now that Lin’er was handling everything in an orderly fashion, he was displeased?
What did he want then? To destroy the Wei State so that he would be happy?
“It seems, I cannot make it clear to you, so, Emperor, you’d better rest well in your chamber. As for the court affairs, Lin’er is handling them very well, which comforts greatly.”
After saying this to the Emperor, she left.
“Mother, Mother,”
Hearing such words from his mother, the Emperor beca anxious.
He wanted to rise and stop the Empress Dowager, but he was too weak to get up, and there was no one nearby to assist him.
He bit his lip, feeling that he had truly made the wrong move.
He should never have brought that unfilial Sui Zilin back. Now, he found himself being roasted on the fire.
