The empress came back with mixed feelings. When she thought of what Guifei said, she felt frightened. She didn't expect that the cCrown Prince could be reduced to such a situation because of the few aggressive words she said to Su Qingyan.
If she hadn't insisted on meeting Su Qingyan, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up like this
"Master, you don't have to worry about it. We don't know whether Guifei was lying to you or not." The maid comforted the empress, "after all, the Fourth Prince is always on the Crown Prince side. If he rashly chooses to grab the throne, no one will believe it."
The empress shook her head when she heard the maid's words. "That's because you don't know the Fourth Prince well. I certainly know him well. In this case, if he really wants to seize the throne, I'm afraid that there will be more people on his side."
When the empress returned to the Kunning Palace, she saw the Crown Prince standing not far away. She felt sad for him inexplicably.
And she felt so regretful.
"Mother, where have you been?" When the Crown Prince saw the back of the empress, he wearily walked up to her. "Mother, I just heard that you went to see Guifei. Why do you bother yourself? It's all our fault. No matter who you ask for help, it won't change. "
Hearing this, the empress felt sad. "Son, have you ever complained me in your heart?"
Seeing the expression on the empress's face, the Crown Prince held her body and went into the living palace. Then he ordered servants to prepare hot tea and snacks. "Mother, at first I really hated you, but you are my mother. I can do nothing about it."
After listening to the Crown Prince, the empress patted his hand remorsefully. "I'm sorry, son. If I haven't met Qingyan, he might not have chosen to seize the throne now."
The Crown Prince looked at the empress and shook his head helplessly. "Mother, you know better than me that in my father's heart, who is more important between me and the Fourth Prince. Were it not for the title of the eldest son, I don't think I'm qualified to the Crown Prince at all."
"Nonsense." The empress looked at the Crown Prince with a serious face and said, "you deserve the title of Crown Prince. From now on, you can also take charge of the Donghe Kingdom. Now that your health have almost recovered, I won't allow you to think too much."
"Mother." Looking at the expression of the empress, the Crown Prince said resignedly. He thought of what Xuanyuan Yvzhen said today in the court. "Mother, it's because what you did that the Fourth Prince plans to grab the throne now. He used to help me at that time because he didn't want the Second Prince take the throne."
The empress was fully aware of what had happened back then. At the beginning, Xuanyuan Yvzhen didn't have any intention of scrambling for the throne. After all, Xuanyuan Yvfan had always been eyeing the throne. Therefore, the most trustworthy person for the Crown Prince was Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Now, since Xuanyuan Yvzhen prepared to fight for the throne now, the most advantageous conditions were all prepared for him in the past.
"Son, I can think of other solutions. After all, it's very important to us." The empress looked at the Crown Prince and said seriously, "at least we have the whole Xu clan at our back. Your grandfather will certainly support you."
The Crown Prince looked at the empress and shook his head helplessly. "Mother, we can't go too far. What I want now is that mother and grandparents are safe. Even if I die now, I have no regrets..."
"I won't let you die." The empress interrupted the Crown Prince cruelly. Holding his hands, she said seriously, "Son, you have to believe me. I will never let you lose the title. After you are born, you are my only hope.
