The third prince had already said these words and brought Young Princess and the others to the palace.
At this time, although Third Princess wanted to stop him, he didn't dare say anything more after Third Prince shot him a sharp gaze … It seemed like he had really miscalculated.
In this way, Lin Shu also had no reason to stay in the Third Prince's Mansion. She left without even saying goodbye to him, and there was already nothing more she could say to Zhang Yuanqing.
Along the way, Lin Shu's heart was in a mess. She did not know how Empress Zhang Zhang would react if he knew about this, but she could only wait for the news inside the New High School and the Residence.
Inside the Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang was originally very happy when he saw his two sons carrying Young Princess. However, when he heard about this, he was angered to the point that his expression changed, and he whispered to his normally obedient son: ”Old Eight, is this true? Are you trying to cheat me? ”
She had been trapped in the palace for half her life and had been depressed for half her life. Fortunately, her two sons were obedient and sensible, often thinking of ways to make her happy, especially when Eighth Prince often told her small jokes.
But the third prince and the Eighth Prince both had extremely serious expressions on their faces. Only then did she react and raised her voice: ”You want to marry the Lin Family's Fourth Miss as your wife, Lin Shu.
Eighth Prince nodded, ”Yes, it's that Lin Shu.”
”In your dreams!” Empress Zhang interrupted him with a loud voice, following which he heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground. Normally, no matter how respectful and solemn she was in front of everyone, he wouldn't even be able to say a single serious sentence in front of his two sons, especially his youngest son.
Now, as she held onto the armrest of the armchair, her entire body couldn't help but tremble. This was the son that he had longed for ever since he was young! She obeyed him in everything she had done, but now, in the matters of marriage, she had caused such a thing. ”If you want to marry her, then step over my dead body. How can I watch you marry such a woman? For a woman like that to become your Lateral Consort, even being your concubine wouldn't be enough. Old Eighth, you don't know, but she … ”
As she said this, she was unable to catch her breath.
Seeing that, the Third Prince hurriedly went forward and patted Empress Zhang on the back, his voice also carrying a bit of blame, ”Old Eighth, look at how angry you are at Queen Mother. Hurry up and come to Queen Mother to apologize! ”
Since young, the Eighth Prince grew up in the depths of the palace. Others didn't know how sad the life of the Empress Zhang was, but he was very clear of it.
His usual haughtiness and wealth were all for others to see, his life was uncomfortable, he was always the one who knew it the best, the days in Empress Zhang — — It was as if there was a lotus heart wrapped in candy, it was so bitter that he couldn't even swallow it.
It was precisely because of this that the Eighth Prince was respectful to the Empress Zhang and listened to his mother.
However, on this matter, he had truly made up his mind, ”Third Brother Queen Mother, I want to marry Fourth Miss as my wife. I beg of you to agree!”
”In your dreams!” Empress Zhang really wanted to rush to him and slap him awake, but after taking two steps, he stopped moving and collapsed on the ground, ”What kind of sin did I commit to give birth to an evil being like you? For the sake of a girl, he actually said such words? Is it because I'm dead that I'm happy? ”
Only then did Empress Zhang stand up with the help of the Third Prince. He called for Cha Liang He to come in and sent someone to lead the Eighth Prince away, ”Without my order, no one can let him out.”
This meant that the Eighth Prince s were being placed under house arrest!
How much he feared that Empress Zhang would soften his heart and agree to the eighth brother's request. That kind of woman would not be able to give eighth brother any resistance, and would only make him unable to raise his head in front of all the princes.
After the commotion, there was silence, but Eighth Prince did not make any noise when he was brought down the stairs, it was very quiet.
Eighth Prince had been taken down, but his expression was still ugly. The tears on her face kept falling — at this time, she was no longer the queen of Daqing Dynasty, but a helpless mother.
The Third Prince even advised: ”Queen Mother, don't be sad. Old Eighth was muddle-headed for a moment, I will advise him.” In his memories, his Queen Mother had always been strong. No matter if it was the Imperial Consort Li or his beloved concubine, she would always be aloof and superior, like a lioness who could never be defeated.
Even someone as powerful as the Empress Dowager Wang did not benefit from his hands, so why was the Queen Mother crying now? The Third Prince felt a little incredulous.
Empress Zhang used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears at the corner of his eyes, ”You, go on and persuade him. He was obedient since young and never disobeyed me, I'm afraid he's bewitched now. I wonder what kind of knockout medicine the Lin Family's Fourth Miss gave him.”
