nChapter 381: Announced It to Everyone

nPrince Sui endured the pain in his chest and struggled to get up. He fell on his knees in front of the old emperor and begged for mercy with a trembling voice.

nI genuinely didn’t know that woman was Qian Jiyun’s. Besides, Father is the Emperor. Why is he so subservient to Qian Jiyun?

nIs the southern border that important? Why is Father so afraid of Qian Jiyun?

n“You idiot! What’s the point of keeping you if you can’t even accomplish a small task?!”

nThe old emperor took a deep breath in anger and exhaled heavily. However, he could not calm down. He was too tired.

n“Father!” Prince Sui gulped and looked up at the old emperor.

nAn Jiuyue had schemed against me! Father didn’t even ask me to do anything. What small task is he talking about?

nPrince Sui was already afraid and did not even think about what the old emperor could be referring to.

nHowever, that did not mean Consort Wen was unaware too. She stood nearby, biting her lip as she glanced at her son secretly. Unfortunately, Prince Sui did not even look in her direction.

nShe cursed in her heart, “Idiot! You idiot!”

nWhat else could it be? A good opportunity to punish Qian Jiyun had slipped away just like that. How could the Emperor not be angry?

n“Get out of the palace! You are not allowed to be summoned to enter!”

nThe old emperor shouted at him and turned to look at Consort Wen with bloodshot eyes.

nConsort Wen was startled. She was about to exclaim internally that something was wrong when she heard the old emperor’s criticisms.

n“And you, you can’t even teach your son well, but you keep showing up in front of me every day. Do you think the both of you haven’t embarrassed me enough?”

nConsort Wen was speechless.

nShe used to look forward to seeing the Emperor every day, but she really did not want to come this time.

nShe had secretly rejoiced over seeing the Emperor again. Perhaps she could use Sui’er’s injuries to gain his sympathy and have him dote on her once again.

nHowever…

nShe regretted it now. She would rather stay in her palace than be despised by the Emperor.

n“Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I’ll definitely teach Sui’er well when I return. I won’t let him cause trouble again,” she promised respectfully as she knelt down in front of the old emperor slowly.

n“Get lost too. Isn’t Prince Sui seriously injured? Go to Sui’er’s residence with your people, and take care of your son. You can return to the palace when he recovers.”

nThe old emperor did not want to see Consort Wen anymore. He disregarded the palace rules and chased her out.

nConsort Wen was terribly frightened now. However, this was the Emperor’s order, so she had no choice but to obey. With a long face, she accepted his orders and left with Prince Sui.

nAfter they left, the old emperor looked at the door of the imperial study and cursed, “Bad luck!”

nEunuch Zheng stood up and reported to the Emperor, “Your Majesty, my subordinate has reported that Prince De has left the capital.”

nThe Emperor was pleased and nodded in satisfaction.

n“De’er is a son after my own heart. The journey to the southern border is long. Send a few more people to protect him,” he instructed, thinking Prince De had set off for the southern border.

nEunuch Zheng was silent.

nKnowing Prince De, if he had really set off for the southern border, he would have announced it to everyone, right?
