694 Character Collapse (3)
The crazy woman in the evening seemed to be just an illusion of the Emperor. Now, she was the phoenix born from fire again.
The Emperor glanced at her and lowered his eyes with a complicated expression.
The Empress was already prepared to deal with any reaction from the Emperor. Seeing that the Emperor was treating her more coldly than before, she was not anxious. She slowly walked over and looked at the Emperor from a table away. “Your Majesty, are you still angry with me?”
The Emperor did not say anything.
!!
The Empress said, “I was poisoned by a Gu and didn’t mean what I said. Your Majesty, just take it that I suddenly lost my mind. I’ve been your wife for many years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
That’s right, didn’t he know his Empress? Even after so many years, the Emperor could still remember the first time he saw her and Consort Yun.
Actually, the first person he saw was Consort Yun. At that time, he did not notice the Empress at the side. It was only when the Empress who stepped forward to help Consort Yun out of trouble did he realize that there was actually such a kind woman in the world.
Consort Yun was as beautiful as a poppy, but she was not suitable to be his Empress.
All these years, she had indeed not disappointed him. She was the mother of the country and the queen of a generation. She was right. After so many years of feelings, could it be that her madness after being poisoned had denied everything she had contributed to himself and the Nanzhao Nation?
The Emperor felt that he shouldn’t suspect the Empress. He wanted to say that he had forgiven her, but when the words reached his lips, they turned into a sentence. “Did you push Dabao into the water?”
Of course, he was not poisoned. It was just that ever since he left the Central Palace, Yu Wan’s doubts about the Empress had been circling in his mind. “How did the Empress know that the person who was saved was Dabao?”
He accidentally said it.
The Empress choked.
“Is it you?” The Emperor asked again.
The Empress’s throat moved. She clenched her fists and said solemnly, “No, I didn’t push him into the water!”
“Then did you pull open the fence?” The Emperor looked at her and asked.
The Empress’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyelashes trembled and she complained aggrievedly, “Does Your Majesty not trust me that much? Dabao is Your Majesty’s descendant. Could it be that I would harm Your Majesty’s bloodline? In Your Majesty’s heart, can I not tolerate a child?”
The Emperor said tiredly, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. You can leave. I still have some official business to deal with.”
The Empress’s eyes moved. She lowered her head unwillingly and bowed obediently. “Yes, I’ll take my leave first.”
When she walked out of the imperial study, a cold wind blew and her heart turned cold. The Gu Master was invited by the Emperor. It did not matter if she went crazy or not. The Emperor’s attitude towards her… was ultimately different!
“Wang Dequan.” In the imperial study, the Emperor put down the memorial. “Prepare to go to the Vermilion Bird Palace.”
“…Yes.” Eunuch Wang was puzzled. Why are you going to Consort Yun’s place in the middle of the night? You’re not at an energetic age, so why would you wake her up in the middle of the night?
The Emperor went to the Vermilion Bird Palace. He was not in a hurry to get someone to report. Instead, he stood under the towering palace wall and stared blankly for a long time.
“Your Majesty…” Just as Eunuch Wang asked him if he wanted to leave or stay, he walked into the hall.
Consort Yun did not rest either. After the three little black eggs left, she was so lonely that she could not sleep. She sat on the swing set that was made for the little black eggs, swaying from time to time.
Suddenly, a shadow landed by her feet. She was stunned and turned around in a daze. She saw the Emperor, who seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight, standing under the silver-gray moonlight.
She couldn’t be bothered with him. She didn’t get up to bow. She turned her head and continued to shake her own swing.
In any case, he had already grounded her. At most, he would kill her. She had reunited with her daughter and had seen Ah Wan and the three little black eggs. She had no regrets in her life, so it was fine for her to die.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor was not angry. Instead, he walked to her side and stopped. “You said that the Empress colluded with the old State Preceptor that day. Do you have evidence?”
