I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 152 Fu Cha Yi Xin 28

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was really as cold-blooded and heartless as his mother. His first reaction to hearing the news was not concern for Fourteenth, but jealousy.

He was jealous of the child who had been loved by his mother since childhood. At the same time, he felt very happy in his heart. He was very happy when Fourteenth was suffering.

The emperor said nothing and walked in silence all the way to Shoukang Palace.

He entered the palace and sat down in front of the bed, looking at his mother lying on the bed. Her face was very pale and she was still in a coma and had not woken up yet. The emperor did not say a word, just waited quietly.

Su Peisheng, who was standing outside, still remembered that the emperor was going to visit Concubine Wan tonight. Now looking at the situation, he knew that now was not the time to say anything, so he kept silent.

After waiting for a long time, the empress dowager woke up from her coma. The first thing she saw was the emperor sitting on a stool beside the bed.

She didn't care that she was still feeling very uncomfortable. When she thought of her Fourteenth Child still suffering in the Imperial Mausoleum, she wanted to see her Fourteenth Child immediately.

With Sun Zhuxi's help, the empress dowager reluctantly sat up and leaned on the soft pillow.

The Queen Mother asked hurriedly, "Emperor, how is Fourteen? Has the murderer been caught? Who exactly killed my Fourteenth?"

As she spoke, she gnashed her teeth in anger. If the murderer who hurt her, Fourteen, stood in front of her, there was no doubt that the Queen Mother would kill him personally.

The emperor tried hard to remain calm. In order to wait for his mother to wake up, he sat in front of her for a long time without even drinking a sip of water. However, the first words she said were not about her concern for him, but about Fourteenth Year, who was not in the capital and whom she missed so much.

If it was in the past, it would be fine, but when compared with Fourteen, he couldn't help but think more about it, wanting to compare who is the most important in his mother's heart, him or Fourteen.

But he was always the disappointed one, as his mother never took the initiative to choose him.

The emperor replied, "Don't worry too much, mother. There are so many people around Fourteenth, and I have also sent people, including the imperial physician and officials to investigate the case. They will soon find out who harmed Fourteenth. Mother's health has only improved recently, so don't worry too much."

However, how could the Queen Mother not be worried after hearing what he said? Her mind was now focused on Fourteenth Emperor, and she was not aware of the Emperor's emotions at all.

"How can I not be worried? How could Fourteenth break his leg for no reason, and, and..." The Queen Mother sighed.

As she spoke, she looked at the emperor, pleading in her tone: "Emperor, Fourteenth is your own brother. He was harmed like this in the imperial mausoleum. Let him return to the capital. Don't let him stay there any longer."

The emperor said calmly, "Mother, I originally asked Fourteenth to guard the imperial mausoleum to fulfill his filial piety. Now he has only been there for a few years and now he is back. Does Mother want people to know that Fourteenth is an unfilial person?"

The Queen Mother replied: "So many years are enough, do you still want Fourteen to guard the tomb there forever?"

The emperor remained silent and did not reply. This was what he had planned. He could refrain from taking action against him for the sake of his mother, but it would be impossible for him to return to the capital again.

How could the Queen Mother not know about the rift between the Emperor and Fourteenth? But for the sake of her Fourteenth, she had to force him. Her words became more serious: "Emperor, Fourteenth is your own brother. Now that he has been in trouble, you don't care about it. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are mean and ungrateful, heartless and ungrateful?"

The emperor stood up, his eyes filled with anger: "I have never had a younger brother. If mother still wants Fourteenth to come back, don't blame your son for attacking Fourteenth. For Fourteenth's safety, you'd better not say anything."

In the end, because of Fourteenth, the Emperor and the Queen Mother parted ways unhappily, and the Emperor left Shoukang Palace angrily.

As soon as he walked out of the door, the emperor looked back and couldn't help but ordered: "Su Peisheng, ask the imperial physician to take good care of the queen mother's health. If the queen mother has any problems, I will ask the imperial physician."

"Yes, I understand."

The more you lack something, the more you desire it. The emperor has never received true care from his mother. No matter how the empress dowager treats him, he is not really disappointed in her. He fantasizes that one day he will get her true care.

In Shoukang Palace, the empress dowager, who was warned by the emperor, was so angry that her body was shaking. She finally calmed down after being persuaded by Sun Zhuxi.

After Sun Zhuxi fed her the medicine, the empress dowager lay down to rest again. But she could not rest in her sleep. All she could think about was her Fourteenth. Tears flowed from her eyes and she muttered to herself.

"Fourteen, my fourteen, fourteen..."

Because of Fourteenth's incident, the Emperor completely forgot about going to Zhen Huan's place tonight. It was only after Su Peisheng reminded him that he remembered it. However, he was really upset tonight and was not in the mood to talk about love with Zhen Huan, so he decided not to go and turned back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

At this time, it was already very late, and Zhen Huan was still waiting, looking outside from time to time. She had asked someone before, and was told that the emperor went to Shoukang Palace first. She thought that the emperor should come to her after coming out of Shoukang Palace, but why hasn't he come yet?

Zhen Huan couldn't wait and called Xiao Yunzi in again, asking him to go and see what was going on.

Not long after, Xiao Yunzi came back, and Zhen Huan asked, "How is it? Has the Emperor come out from the Queen Mother?"

Xiao Yunzi replied: "My lady, I just asked, the emperor has already come out from the queen mother, and he must be on his way to Suiyuxuan now."

Upon hearing what he said, Zhen Huan stood up excitedly and looked at the clothes she was wearing, which were newly made for her.

Because she had fallen out of favor before, not to mention any rewards, a lot of her monthly allowance was deducted. Not only that, she couldn't even eat well, and she also spent a lot of money just to live more comfortably. And when she was in Yime Garden, in order to gain favor again, money was spent like water.

After finishing this dress, she really didn't have much money left. If the emperor didn't come again, her future would be even more difficult.

Thinking of this, she regretted again not letting the emperor in last night. It was a waste of money for Huanbi. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so uneasy.

"Jinxi, take a look at what I'm wearing. Is there anything inappropriate? I can adjust it before the emperor comes."

Jin Xi comforted her, "Don't worry, my lady. Your outfit today is very good and the emperor will like it."

Liu Zhu also said flatteringly: "Aunt Jinxi is right. The emperor will definitely not be able to take his eyes off the young lady."

Zhen Huan was very happy to be coaxed by the two people, and she was reluctantly relieved after hearing what they said.

After waiting for a while, in the quiet night, Zhen Huan finally heard some noise coming from outside and thought that the emperor had arrived.

Jin Xi, who was beside her, reacted the fastest and asked people to immediately prepare to welcome the emperor. She supported Zhen Huan and stood outside the palace waiting for the emperor.
