Prince Qings heart almost jumped out of his body. His mother had returned… What should he do? He was at a loss.
Since his mother had returned, he obviously had to get down from the carriage to pay his respects. They would not be able to pass her if he did not greet her.
Prince Qing quickly got out of the carriage and asked the coachman to move the carriage to the side. He quickly went to his mother’s carriage and bowed to greet her. “Mother, it’s your son.”
Hui Xiang did not expect this either and quickly bowed to Prince Qing.
Empress Dowager Yunzi was sitting in the carriage when she heard her youngest son’s voice. She was originally resting with her eyes closed, but when she heard a familiar voice, she opened her sharp and spirited old eyes. When the curtain was pulled up and she saw that it was really her youngest son, she asked in confusion, “What are you doing going out of the palace in the middle of the night?”
She was not surprised that he would be in the palace. The Emperor was never bothered if he stayed in the palace or not and was very indulgent with his brother’s behaviors.
However, things are different now. It was the middle of the night and the Emperor specifically asked for no carriages to leave the palace. It was highly suspicious of him to be leaving in the middle of the night.
Empress Dowager Yunzi even glanced at the carriage that Prince Qing had been sitting in just now. At this moment, the carriage’s curtains were tightly covering the interior.
Empress Dowager Yunzi frowned.
“Mother, I couldn’t fall asleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk. The city doesn’t close at night, so there are many fun places that can keep me entertained.” Prince Qings face was calm, but his hands were already sweating. He felt extremely guilty.
Moreover, no matter how calm he was, his eyes started to become a little evasive. He did not dare to face his mother’s piercing gaze.
As her mother, she could easily tell that her son was lying.
“Do you know why I came back?”Empress Dowager Yunzi suddenly said.
‘PW-well…” Prince Qing finally stuttered as guilt started to seep into his bones.
Empress Dowager Yunzi acted as if she didn’t know that he was stuttering and continued, “Just in case anything happens.”
Before Prince Qing could react, she shouted, “Men, check Prince Qings carriage! ”
“Please” Prince Qing knelt down immediately.
His kneeling was to no avail. Someone had already received the order to take down his carriage and bring out the people inside.
The two palace maids wanted to resist, but Prince Shu gave them a look, not allowing them to expose the fact that they were actually men of sacrifice and had stunning talent.
“How dare you call yourself a prince?” Empress Dowager Yunzi, who had already alighted from the carriage, flung her sleeves, not even bothering to look at her youngest son.
She walked straight to Consort Yi and Prince Shu, who were kneeling on the ground.
“Your Highness…” Consort Yi looked pitiful.
Prince Qing could not bear to see his sweetheart like this. He immediately walked in front of his mother and stopped her. “Mother, please spare them. They are a woman and a child. What can they do in the future?”
“Hurry up and report this to the Emperor!” Empress Dowager Yunzi!s face turned ugly. “He can face the wrath of his brother!”
Someone hurried over.
When Emperor Hao rushed over and saw his beloved brother with Consort Yi and Prince Shu, he couldn’t believe it.
“Royal brother, you…”
When Prince Qing saw his brother, he quickly let go of Consort Yi and knelt down to his brother.. “Y-your Highness, I’ve been in love with her for so many years, can you fulfill my wishes and let her go? Please, brother?”
