1858 Like Mother, Like Son 3 (1/2)
Her face became twisted due to rage and her trembling delicate body radiated traces of cold air.
Comparatively speaking, dealing with Mu Xuexin was more important than Qi Su. Therefore, she would spare his life for the time being!
”General Li, follow me to visit the Emperor!” Consort Qin took a deep breath and stood up from the chaise lounge.
The time for the Emperor to consume the medicine has passed and she was confident that Imperial Physician Yu had succeeded...
Emperor's bedroom chambers.
The little prince knelt before the Emperor's bed and cried uncontrollably as if the Emperor had met his end. However, his head had always been buried on the bed and so no one discovered that he was only crying out loud without tears. There wasn't a single trace of tears on his face.
Of course, the little prince's heart-wrenching wails caused the ministers keeping watch in the bedroom to be emotionally moved.
”Sigh, the little prince is really filial. He has been visiting the Emperor every day but in comparison, I wonder where the Fourth Princess disappeared to?”
”The Emperor doted on the Fourth Princess the most and right now she is truly being unfilial! She couldn't even be compared to a single strand of hair on the little prince.”
All the ministers shook their heads and sighed with disapproval in their eyes. As Mu Xuexin hadn't appeared in the Emperor's bedroom chambers for a few days, it caused everyone to be bitterly disappointed. After all, the Emperor doted on the Fourth Princess the most!
”Your servant pays her respects to Consort Qin.” A wave of salutation sounded outside the doors. Soon after, Consort Qin entered and slowly walked to the Emperor's sickbed.
”The Fourth Princess hasn't come?” Consort Qin's expression contained discontent. ”This Fourth Princess is too much. The Emperor is bedridden and she doesn't even know to keep guard by his side. Yesterday, she even came looking for me, saying that she is mutually in love with the Qi Family's Qi Mo, and wished for me to grant their marriage in place of the Emperor.”
”What?” Without a doubt, Consort Qin's words were similar to a heavy hammer, causing everyone to turn pale from shock.
