When he woke up, the Queen Mother was beside him.
When he learned that Nangong Yitian had ascended the throne as emperor, he was shocked and angry at first. His face was full of veins and he clenched his fists feebly.
The Queen Mother sat on the chair next to the bed, looking tired, and ignored his angry reaction and didn't say a word.
Anyway, he was seriously injured and could not do anything except say a few words.
After he was excited for a while, the Queen Mother slowly said: "It's either him or your rebellious eldest son. Who do you want?"
A rhetorical question made the Supreme Emperor stunned for a moment, with an angry and ferocious face. That traitor, that traitor...
"But I... I'm not dead, how can the crown prince ascend the throne?" The Supreme Emperor pounded the bed, shouting at the top of his lungs.
The Empress Dowager looked indifferent, "There is no difference between you and death. When your heart dies, you die. The day your Liu'er dies, your heart dies. An unintentional person cannot be an emperor, and neither can the common people." Buried for your love."
The Supreme Emperor gritted his teeth, "I have severed all ties with her and have no love at all."
The Queen Mother sneered, "She has no love for you, but you are crazy about her. Think about the crazy things you have done since she died. The Queen has been married to you for more than twenty years. You Just to control the prince and make her commit suicide, are you a human being?"
"I told you, it's not for her."
"The Ai family doesn't know whether you really love her, or because you can't win her heart, so you hold on to power as hard as you can, as if power can bring you a sense of security. Or maybe, because of that deformed child, you feel that God has punished you. , God is forcing you to hand over the throne, and the one who is most likely to replace you is the prince, so you suppress him, but no matter what, you fail as a husband, you fail as a father, and as for the son of man..."
The Empress Dowager smiled sadly, her eyes full of anger, "You are unworthy of the trust you have placed in the Ai family for so many years. You have caused chaos in the harem, father and son, and brothers. If you still don't know your fault until now, I'm sorry. I would rather you die."
"Mother!" The Supreme Emperor seemed to be thundering, with a horrified expression on his face, "How could you do this to me? I am your son!"
"Then how did you treat your son? You couldn't accept the Aijia's scolding. Can your son accept your cruelty?"
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she stood up and stretched out her hands to call Eunuch Fu to help her. Her whole body seemed to have lost all strength. She was afraid that the unfilial son would die, but there was nothing to be happy about when he woke up.
"Come here, convey the Ai family's decree and send the Supreme Emperor to the palace to recover from his injuries."
"I won't go, I am the emperor!" The Supreme Emperor murmured, tears gradually welling up in his eyes. Panic, anger, helplessness, all these emotions made him despair.
"Come here, tell my ministers, my prime minister, my great scholar, my censor, that I want to impeach the prince for treason..."
Qi Baixing was hiding in the corner of the door, shivering. No one had placed her there yet, it was as if she didn't exist.
But the more this happened, the more scared she became, and she was always on tenterhooks, as if the death waiting for her was Bai Ling or poisoned wine.
And now that the Supreme Emperor has woken up, he doesn't know if he remembers what happened when he was forced to go to the palace.
She didn't dare to face him, so she sneaked out secretly while the palace servants came forward to comfort the Supreme Emperor.
But where could she go? There seemed to be no place for her inside or outside the palace.
Can she escape back to her parents' home? But how will her family view her?
Just when she was panicking, a person walked slowly in front of her. She looked up and saw that it was the Imperial Concubine Ming.
