The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 777
No matter what the empress dowager said, the emperor didn't come here to seek proof, he already knew the truth of the matter in his heart, and he came here just to explain a fact, a fact that can no longer influence any of his decisions.

"Then who was the late Emperor's Feng Guiren? Did she really die in childbirth? Given the insidiousness of the Queen Mother, I don't believe that Feng Guiren's death was God's will. Maybe the Queen Mother wanted to kill two lives, but I am so desperate That's why she hates me so much. If my father hadn't hugged me under her knees to raise me, maybe I would have been like those princes who died young, with no bones left."

"So, what do you want to do?" The Empress Dowager sat on the kang with Nanny Gui's hand, and seeing the emperor's agitated look, said with some dissatisfaction: "It doesn't matter whether the Empress Dowager is the emperor's biological mother or not. She is both your aunt. Isn’t that the truth? She is the first wife of the late emperor, and she is a legitimate empress dowager. No matter which prince of the late emperor succeeds to the throne, she must be respected as the empress dowager. This is the truth! If so, you call Is it wrong for her to be the queen mother?"

The old ancestor's words were powerful, and the words weighed heavily on the emperor's heart, making him irrefutable, "What do you want to know when you come to me? Want to find out how your biological mother died? Even if she was really murdered by the queen mother Dead, what can you do, after so many years, do you have evidence? The queen mother has raised you for many years, don't you really have the slightest bit of admiration for her?"

Even though the facts are solid, it is still difficult to appease the anger in the emperor's heart. After Xiao Jun was completely disheartened, he never thought of appeasement, because it would only make him lose more.Now that even his Chen'er has been forced out of the palace, what else does he have? Is it true that being an emperor is destined to be alone for the rest of his life?
"Grandmother, in all fairness, I treated her as my biological mother before, but I won't anymore. Even though the first emperor gave me to the queen mother to raise me, how have I ever felt the slightest bit of maternal love from the queen mother in these years? I'm sick When I was young, my grandmother was always by my grandson's side. No matter how sick I was, I never saw my mother take care of me with gentle words. Before, I didn't understand why the queen mother hated me so much, but now I understand. Because I am not her child at all!"

Faced with the emperor's almost irrational roar, the empress dowager shook her head and said sharply: "So what if it is, so what if it is not, do you want to abolish her as the queen mother at this time? The emperor's grandmother told you that this time It's impossible!"

The Empress Dowager seemed to be angry, and she said more and more sternly: "Not to mention that doing so would damage the face of the royal family, didn't you always want to monopolize the power? Now is the time of internal and external troubles. If there are any important officials in the court making trouble , Do you want your throne! Forbearance and compromise are not the behavior of cowards, but the tempering process that an emperor should have. Anyone who doesn't understand forbearance and perseverance is not worthy of ruling the world!"

The emperor's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I can bear it, but don't blame me for being merciless when the time comes." The emperor turned around angrily and wanted to leave, and heard the old ancestor shout: "Stop!"

The emperor turned around and asked: "Is there anything else that the imperial grandmother has to teach you? Didn't I promise to be patient?"

The Empress Dowager sneered, then turned to Nanny Gui and said, "Look at the emperor's appearance, how decent he is! The Son of Heaven is majestic, unmoved by winds, and not shocked by honor or disgrace. Look at his frantic appearance now, how can there be any regrets?" Looks like an emperor should be? Do you think why he is so annoyed is really because the queen mother is not his biological mother? He is because of the concubine Chen! Because he felt that he had protected the queen mother and hurt the concubine Chen's heart before, and now he knows After learning the truth, I feel ashamed and regretful, that's why I became angry from embarrassment! The emperor's grandmother is old, but I can still see through the emperor's thoughts!"

The empress dowager was right. If the emperor had known that this was the case, he would not have said that to Qingchen. He said that he would stop her no matter what. When she just lost her child and needed comfort the most, he Not only did he not comfort her with good words, but when she did nothing, because of the bit of resentment she showed, she suspected that she would retaliate against the Queen Mother and say that he would stop her. How sad should his distrust at that time make her?It's no wonder she doesn't want to stay in this palace for a moment, if even he doesn't trust her anymore, then what's the point of her staying?
The emperor said frankly: "Yes, what the emperor's grandmother said is that I am sorry for the concubine Chen. The other concubines had a miscarriage. I have at least visited and comforted the other concubines. But after Chen'er had no child, I have been neglected because of the knot in my heart." She even suspected that she and Xiao Yinzi had ulterior motives, until she left the palace, she didn't want me to give her a ride, I'm sorry for her."

The empress dowager sighed heavily, but ignored the emperor's guilt, and still said to Nanny Gui: "You watched the emperor grow up, and always said that his domineering and acting are most like the emperor Taizu, but I don't think so." If you think so, he is far worse than Emperor Taizu! How can a person with the world at heart lose his mind because of a woman? Have you ever seen Emperor Taizu pamper someone like this when the concubines in the harem were not wronged? ?Which emperor's concubine didn't have a miscarriage, and which concubine got such a great favor to go out of the palace to recuperate? Who doesn't have his own temper, and who dares to leave like Concubine Chen? If everyone is as stubborn and rebellious as her, what will happen to the harem? If the emperor is cold-hearted because he has been wronged a little, then the old ancestors have hurt her for nothing. Looking at her, she was still a sensible person. Yes, but I don't think that she is the person who is the most inconsiderate of the emperor, isn't it you, the emperor, who are caught in the middle of this matter the most difficult?"

The emperor didn't expect the old ancestor to say this, and he was shocked for a moment: "Grandmother, you have wronged her too much by saying this. If Concubine Chen doesn't understand me, she will cry and make trouble, and will resent me for not making decisions for her, It's not that I endured it silently. She lost her child and was wronged by me. If she is not allowed to leave the palace to breathe, is it considered considerate to let her stay in the palace and become depressed? If so, I will I would rather not have her be so sensible!"

"That's why the emperor's grandmother didn't stop the emperor's decision. Didn't she understand the pain of losing her child? She didn't want the position of concubine awarded by the queen mother, so she was allowed to go out of the palace to recuperate. Isn't this the emperor's compensation for her?" ?"

The emperor pursed his thin lips tightly, his face became more and more ugly, obviously he didn't want to contradict the empress dowager, but he was not convinced, and said in a cold voice: "I will make it up to her, old ancestor, rest well, grandson is resigning .”
