406 Are Your Arms Really Alright?
Consort Wen and Prince Sui would become important to the Emperor as long as they had something on Qian Jiyun.
Wouldn’t that be good?
“How would I know that your arms… have recovered?”
She was really unaware. She would not have sent someone to the palace to report this matter to the Emperor if she had known. It was not like she did not want to return to the palace.
“You—” Prince Sui glared at her angrily. He no longer cared that the person in front of him was his mother.
“Even if my arms haven’t recovered, you can’t inform Father about this anymore. I can only look for him after the pharmacist confirms that An Jiuyue is at fault!”
He had gone to the imperial study twice, and his arms stopped hurting each time.
Fortunately, his father did not take this the wrong way. Otherwise…
“Have you thought about me, Mother?”
“What are you saying? I am thinking about you. As long as you can take Qian Jiyun down—”
“Who is Qian Jiyun? He crawled out of a pile of dead people at the southern border. That old woman from his residence can’t kill him after all these years. How can you and I overthrow him just like that?” Prince Sui interrupted Consort Wen.
When he saw Qian Yiyun that day, he wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide in it because he was afraid of offending Qian Jiyun.
However, he had no choice but to go up against Qian Jiyun when he went to the imperial study. If he had a chance to do it over, he would not have gone out early that day and caused trouble for Prince De.
Cause trouble for Prince De? He had caused trouble for himself!
He was now more than unhappy. With the way his father looked at him, he had no doubt that if he hadn’t been his father’s son, he would have died.
How can my mother say that she’s doing this for my sake?
“Mother, you have to think about why Father gave Qian Jiyun the title of Prince Zhan Yun. He also did nothing to Qian Jiyun all these years, even though his power had grown rapidly.
“If we can subdue Qian Jiyun so easily, both the royal court and the imperial harem will be under our control!”
“Uh…” Consort Wen was stunned. “What are you talking about? I don’t want anything else. I just want to live a peaceful life for the rest of my life.”
She knew she was incapable. Even her son was not favored by the Emperor. What else could she do?
She had never coveted the throne, but she had to make her life more comfortable, right?
“Sui’er, are your arms really alright?” she asked softly.
“They’re fine now.” Prince Sui snapped.
But I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.
An Jiuyue is even more ruthless than Qian Jiyun. I was only momentarily loose-tongued, but she’s already tormented me like this. She’s scary.
“Even if something happens, Mother, you must not send anyone running to Father again. I’m already in this state. I can’t bear any more problems.”
Consort Wen looked at her son and shouted with reddened eyes, “Sui’er!”
Does Sui’er despise me for being useless? We wouldn’t be bullied like this if I was more useful. I wouldn’t be chased out of the palace if I came from an influential family.
