Chapter 579: Conflicts escalate, driving people crazy
At this moment, the fourth prince walked in quickly from outside and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Thank you, father!" After saying that, he kowtowed three times to the emperor.
"Get up." The emperor raised his hand.
The meal was tasteless. After eating just a few dishes, the emperor said he was full and got up to leave.
Chao Sihai followed the emperor quickly, almost unable to catch up with the emperor.
After returning to his bedroom, the emperor took off his belt and threw it aside, then sat on a chair and took off his boots by himself.
Chao Sihai immediately stepped forward to serve, "Your Majesty, I know you are in a bad mood. Please take care of your health and don't get angry."
"Why can't they just be quiet?" the emperor asked angrily.
Chao Sihai didn't dare to respond, but just lowered his head to help the emperor take off his socks.
"Don't they see clearly my intentions regarding the succession? They insist on leading me this way!"
The emperor vented his anger and felt much better.
After Chao Sihai had served the emperor and let him rest, he walked out with light steps.
As soon as he returned to his resting place, he saw a young eunuch waiting for him, and his face suddenly changed.
"Didn't I tell you not to come find me directly?" Chao Sihai said nervously.
"Please calm down, Eunuch Chao. It is an emergency, so the Empress sent me here to see you."
"Your Majesty the Queen must want to know about Concubine Luo, right?"
"My Lord, you are wise. This is exactly the case!"
"It was the Queen Mother's idea. The Emperor has agreed, but this was not the Emperor's original intention. The Emperor was angry about this matter, but he had no way to refuse the Queen Mother. Although the Emperor has made Luo his good wife, the Empress does not need to be nervous. Go back and tell the Empress that she does not need to take this matter to heart. In the short term, the Emperor will definitely not visit Luo."
"Yes."
The young eunuch immediately went back to reply.
After hearing these words, the queen did not feel relieved at all, but instead felt a sense of bitterness.
She stood up slowly, stepped barefoot on the cold floor, and looked at the waning moon hanging in the night sky.
Gusts of cold wind blew in from the window, sweeping away the little warmth in her body, but she didn't feel the cold.
Because my heart is too cold.
Looking back, when she and the emperor had just gotten married, they also had a period of sweet love.
But once the emperor ascended to the throne, he seemed like a different person.
Who knows how much neglect and injustice she has suffered!
"Empress, why are you standing under the window to enjoy the breeze? Be careful not to catch a cold!" The nanny ran to the Queen and immediately closed the window.
The palace maid who came in with her hurriedly got a cloak and put it on the queen's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, has the eunuch we sent replied?" the nanny asked worriedly.
"Yes." The queen replied with two words indifferently.
"Does the Emperor really intend to take Concubine Luo out of the cold palace and make her his beloved wife?"
"That's right." The queen chuckled, turned around and walked in another direction.
The nanny felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw her distraught appearance.
Having followed the Queen for so many years, how could she not understand the Queen's feelings at this moment?
That deposed Concubine Luo could be said to be the person the Queen hates the most!
No matter how the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager bullied the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother did not feel too much jealous because they were the Emperor's relatives.
However, when Concubine Luo was in favor, she was so arrogant that she trampled on the dignity of the Empress. How could the Empress forget these humiliations!
"Your Majesty, it must be because the Empress Dowager brought up this matter that the Emperor had no way of refusing her. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. The deposed Concubine Luo has been tortured like that in the cold palace, and the Emperor feels disgusted when he looks at her. How could he still favor her like he did before?" The nanny whispered to comfort her.
"Back then, when Luo trampled on me like this, the emperor never took my feelings into consideration. He only praised me for being the most considerate, and then turned around and indulged Luo endlessly! Now, the Queen Mother only mentioned it, and he agreed to release Luo from the cold palace. He also said that he was worried about the reputation of the Fourth Prince and gave Luo the identity of a good wife! The emperor never thought about what the Third Prince was thinking when I was the honorable queen and the master of the six palaces, but was suppressed by Luo in every way? Did he care about the Third Prince's feelings?"
Neither the nanny nor the palace maid had an answer to this question.
The queen laughed at herself again, "It would be great if I could be as ruthless and unloving as Ji Chuhe. I wouldn't still have any illusions about him at this time! I even secretly thought that as long as he was willing to make the third prince the crown prince, she could pretend that everything in the past had never happened!"
"Why? Why would he do this to me!?"
The queen was so angry that her whole body was shaking. Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
"Why did you force me into this situation? You forced me to do this. You did all this!"
……
As soon as the Emperor left the Empress Dowager's palace, the Fourth Prince asked the Empress Dowager eagerly.
"Empress Dowager, can I go and take my mother out of the cold palace now?"
"Yes, go ahead. I will order someone to build a palace for you. Your mother is a good woman now. Although her position is not high, she is still a little mistress. Who knows, your father may summon her to his palace someday."
The smile on the Fourth Prince's face froze when he heard the word "summon".
In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't want his mother to be favored by his father anymore.
He felt that his father's affection for him had long been exhausted, and now he only felt sorry for his mother.
My father has hurt my mother so deeply, but he still wants her to serve him as before. Isn’t this too unfair to her?
He did not judge whether his father was a good father or not. He first felt that his father was not a good husband and he had harmed his mother so badly!
The fourth prince took advantage of the night and hurried to the cold palace.
After meeting the Fourth Prince, Luo regained a little hope and tidied herself up. Although she was still wearing tattered clothes, her hair was no longer disheveled and she no longer looked like a madman.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
Luo suddenly became alert.
As she walked outside, she saw a ray of light. The Fourth Prince's body was illuminated by the light. He did not look like a real person, but more like the one she often saw in her dreams.
"Mother!" The Fourth Prince walked over quickly and knelt in front of Luo.
Luo was panicking. "Why are you here again? Even though you are favored by the Queen Mother, you can't come and go in the cold palace so casually! Go quickly and don't let anyone see you. Otherwise, if the Queen finds you, she will have many ways to deal with you!"
"Mother, don't be afraid. Your son is here to take you out of the cold palace!" The fourth prince responded loudly.
