Chapter 213 Nowhere to Go
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely depressing.
Prince Su and Sun Zhonghuai were on opposite sides, each of them thinking about something unknown.
Only the sound of wheels and the noise from the street drifted into the carriage, and the air seemed to be stagnant. After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped and the servant outside shouted:
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Sun Mansion."
Sun Zhonghuai lifted his clothes and stepped out. Prince Su was about to get off the car, but was stopped by Sun Zhonghuai.
He stood on the carriage and looked up and said:
"Your Highness, I'm home. Please send me here."
"Zhong Huai, I..."
Prince Su wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat.
Sun Zhonghuai smiled as if nothing had happened and said:
"Your Highness, the New Year is drawing to a close and you must be very busy. I also need to concentrate on preparing for the next Spring Examination. I doubt I will have time to meet with Your Highness in the coming days."
After saying this, Ji bowed deeply, turned around and walked towards the main gate of the Sun Mansion, leaving Prince Su alone in the cold wind, feeling melancholy.
He watched Sun Zhonghuai's back disappear into the door, feeling a sense of loss.
After so many years together, when had they ever been as estranged as they were now? Zhong Huaiding took General Pei's words to heart.
"Your Highness?"
The servant stared blankly at Prince Su, who was bending over and preparing to get off the car.
Didn’t everyone go to the Sun Mansion in the past?
What happened today?
I have never seen Master Sun and His Highness like this.
in argument?
No?
The servant's mind was in turmoil. "Your Highness, where are we going?"
Prince Su retracted his half-stretched leg and fell back into the carriage in a daze.
where to?
How did he know?
The palace was cold and boring, so he never lived there. He used to call Bamboo Shadow Cottage his home, then he called the military camp his home, and after that he spent every day in the Sun Mansion.
Now Zhong Huai won’t even let him in, where else can he go?
"Let's go to the mother's palace."
The only place I can go is my mother's.
……
The palace is very busy today.
This morning, something unexpected happened in the Imperial Study. Without warning, Prince Jing was suddenly attacked by the Ministry of Justice. Not only that, but Duke Yong, Duke Xie, General Lin, the Marquis of Yong'an, and even the Censorate, the Cabinet, and some senior officials who were known for their integrity and indifference to factionalism also suddenly attacked.
Suddenly, everyone pushed the wall down!
When Concubine Wen was dragged back from the imperial study, the entire harem was in an uproar.
The imperial edict to depose the imperial concubine arrived soon after.
Afterwards, the imperial concubine's palace was locked from the outside, and the serving maids and eunuchs were also sent out, leaving only two close servants.
There is someone guarding the door.
The imperial concubine's palace, which was once bustling with people, is now deserted.
No one dared to approach easily.
Emperor Jingde drank the medicine prepared by Concubine Jiang herself, then leaned on the bed with a sullen face and remained silent.
In front of the bed, Concubine Li, with a haggard face, knelt on the ground and cried.
"Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again."
Concubine Li offended Concubine Wen at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and was bullied by Concubine Wen and locked up by her on the pretext of being sick. She was only released today.
She was already delicate and charming, and now she looked even more pitiful. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which was heartbreaking.
"Alright, I'm sorry for putting you and Xiaojiu through this period. Don't worry, I've already gotten justice for you, and I'll compensate you well in the future."
"emperor!"
Concubine Li cried sweetly, knelt down a few steps, threw herself on Emperor Jingde, and sobbed aggrievedly.
"I will leave it to the Emperor to decide."
Emperor Jingde patted Concubine Li's back lovingly.
Concubine Jiang said:
"Sister Li Fei, the emperor has been tired all day. Why don't you let him rest early?"
Concubine Li nodded with tears in her eyes, and took Emperor Jingde's hand and said in a tender voice:
"Your Majesty, have a good rest. I will personally make some soup for you tomorrow."
Emperor Jingde was indeed exhausted both physically and mentally at this moment.
He nodded and waved them off.
As soon as she left the palace, Concubine Li wiped her tears and said coldly:
"That bitch Wen Mengyun! She caused me and Wei'er so much trouble. I won't let her go."
Concubine Jiang took Concubine Li's hand and walked down the stairs, saying:
"Sister Li Fei, they say that after adversity comes good. After all the hardships you've endured, you'll enjoy endless blessings from now on."
Concubine Li held Concubine Jiang's hand and said gratefully:
"Sister, if you hadn't been secretly bringing me food and daily necessities, and personally preparing medicine for me during this period, I'm afraid I would have been killed by Wen! My dear sister, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."
Concubine Jiang said, "Sister, you are too kind. Being a woman has a hard life, and it is even more difficult for us in the harem. If you are in trouble, I will help you."
After hearing this, Concubine Li nodded repeatedly.
Although she was the most favored concubine in the harem over the years, in the end, she was still squeezed and flattened by Wen Mengyun, and suffered the pain of not having a son.
Princess Jiang is lucky.
He was neither competitive nor prominent in the first half of his life, but because he had a son, he became prominent in the second half of his life.
Thinking of this, Concubine Li suddenly had an idea.
"My dear sister, Prince Su is already over 20 and should be married long ago. Do you have someone you like?"
Concubine Jiang smiled and shook her head:
"Guo'er used to be a playboy and had a bad reputation. Which good girl would be interested in him? Let's not talk about it!"
"How can I not mention it!"
Concubine Li turned around and grabbed Concubine Jiang, moving closer and saying:
"I have a niece on my mother's side who has just reached the age of 15. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also well-educated, gentle, and quiet. I think she's a perfect match for His Highness Prince Su."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jiang's eyes lit up, but dimmed again after a moment. She said helplessly:
"The young lady from the Lin family is naturally very good, but my Guo'er is not worthy of being a match. So... forget it."
The two chatted all the way back to Concubine Jiang's palace together.
As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I met Prince Su head-on.
"Greetings to Concubine Li, and greetings to Mother."
Prince Su stood tall and slender, bowing respectfully.
Concubine Li looked at Prince Su in front of her. He was wearing a dark narrow-sleeved python robe, with an upright posture. His every move and gesture showed the noble demeanor of a prince. He looked extraordinarily handsome, needless to say, superior.
In the past, I only knew that Prince Su was a playboy, but I didn’t realize that after not seeing him for a long time, he had been reborn and became so handsome and elegant.
The more Concubine Li looked, the more satisfied she became.
The more I read it, the more I think the idea that just came to me is really great!
She secretly pulled Concubine Jiang and told her to take what she had just said to heart.
Princess Jiang nodded in understanding.
Concubine Li looked at Prince Su several times with a clingy look before saying goodbye to Concubine Jiang.
That bitch Wen Mengyun has now been stripped of her title of Imperial Concubine and imprisoned. She must get back all the grudges and hatreds from the past! ?
After saying goodbye to Concubine Li, the mother and son entered the inner room.
Princess Jiang saw that her son was frowning and not in high spirits. As soon as he came in, he sat down at the tea table and fiddled with her tea set and cups boredly.
After washing her hands and boiling water to make tea, Concubine Jiang poured a cup of tea for her son and asked softly:
"How come you have time to visit mother today?"
