The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 265

After an incense stick of time, Mo Shaoxie walked out of the imperial study with no expression on his face.

The queen took a deep breath, straightened her dress, and then asked Eunuch Chang to pass the message.

Eunuch Chang bowed respectfully outside the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."

There was a "bang bang bang" sound from inside, followed by the emperor's roar: "Let her go, go back to Kunde Palace!"

When the queen heard the emperor's roar outside the door, her body stiffened and she felt a chill, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her.

Eunuch Chang came over and whispered, "Empress, the Emperor is very angry now, you should go back!"

The nanny beside the queen also advised: "Queen, why don't you wait until the emperor calms down before coming?"

The queen shook her head, pushed aside the nanny beside her, and rushed in. She couldn't just give up like that, she had to see the emperor and plead for the prince.

In the imperial study, the emperor looked at the queen who had barged in with a gloomy face. His eyes revealed a deep dissatisfaction and anger, as if the queen was his enemy.

The queen looked at the emperor and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The Queen knelt down, trying to remain calm, but her voice was still trembling as she said, "Your Majesty, the Prince encountered bandits, and it was the bandits who stole the food. Even if the Prince failed to protect the food, you don't have to depose him! I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"

The emperor sneered and said, "Who let you in? Didn't I tell you to go back to Kunde Palace?"

The queen bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, the crown prince..." Before the queen could finish her words, she was interrupted...

The emperor's face was gloomy. He slammed the table hard, causing the items on the table to jump up. With a "bang", a teacup fell to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere.

"Shut up!" the emperor roared. "I thought that if I handed the disaster relief to the prince, he would do it well. After all, everything was arranged for him and he only had to give orders. But he collapsed.

He could even make him flee without a fight when dealing with a mob, hand over the relief food to the bandits, and even despise eating it, forcing his men to go to the mountains to hunt for game every day. What's the point of keeping them if they are so incapable of such a task?" The emperor roared, his voice echoing in the imperial study, shaking the air around them.

The queen felt a prick in her heart after hearing what the emperor said. She knew that the emperor had high expectations for the prince, but his performance this time was indeed disappointing. She choked up and said, "Your Majesty, the prince just has too little experience outside. I beg you to give the prince another chance and let him make up for his crime with merit."

The emperor's face became even darker after hearing what the queen said. He stood up, walked to the queen in anger, and slapped her in the face.

"Ah..." The queen covered her face and looked at the emperor in disbelief, tears streaming down her face.

"How many chances have I given the prince? I had no intention of letting him go to provide disaster relief this time. He was eager to gain merit, and I thought it was an opportunity. But what did he do?" the emperor roared, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

"I cannot tolerate the incompetence of the Crown Prince." The Emperor continued, "I have given him countless chances, but he has disappointed me time and time again. I have decided to depose him."

After hearing what the emperor said, the queen couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart. She lowered her head silently, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. The queen suddenly raised her head and saw that he was determined to depose the prince, so she started a fierce quarrel with the emperor.

Outside the imperial study, Eunuch Chang stood quietly and heard the fierce quarrel inside, the voices sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low.

Eunuch Chang shook his head and sighed silently.

Soon, the door of the imperial study slowly opened, and the queen walked out in a daze. Her face was pale, her eyes were empty, and she seemed to have lost all her vitality.

The nanny hurried forward to support her and asked cautiously, "Queen?"

The queen shook off the nanny and left without saying a word. Her steps were heavy and slow, as if she was carrying a huge burden.

Mammy followed her closely, her heart full of worry and anxiety.

In the imperial garden, a breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. The queen walked slowly, her heart filled with pain and despair.

The Queen didn't understand why the Emperor had become so cold and heartless, and why their relationship had come to this point.

Seeing the queen in pain, the nanny couldn't help but feel distressed. She comforted her softly, "Don't be sad, Queen. The emperor is just angry for a while. After a few days, when he calms down, he may be able to withdraw his order."

The Queen shook her head, her voice choking with sobs: "No, not anymore. The Emperor is determined to depose the Crown Prince and will not take back his order!"

Mo Shaoxie returned to the Regent Palace. There was no expression on his face. He asked calmly, "Where is the princess now?"

A secret guard immediately appeared in front of him and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the princess is now in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Mo Shaoxie nodded and said nothing more. He turned and walked towards the study with firm and steady steps.

In the study, Xiao Zijin and Le Wenshu had been waiting there for a long time.

Mo Shaoxie sat at the desk and said without raising his head, "Get ready immediately and leave for Nanlin tonight."

Xiao Zijin said: "Your Highness, everything is ready."

Mo Shaoxie raised his head and said "hmm".

Mo Shaoxie said calmly: "I will leave the capital for Nanlin, Wen Shu will stay in the capital to keep an eye on it, Zijin, you continue to investigate the people of the Nan family."

Xiao Zijin was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, I won't go to Nanlin with you?"

Mo Shaoxie glanced over, and Xiao Zijin touched his nose in dismay. Okay! He continued to investigate the Nan family...

Several people continued to discuss in the study before Mo Shaoxie got up and left the study.
