Chapter 855: He would rather bite his tongue and commit suicide
Translator: 549690339
The Emperor stepped forward to help Consort Shu up and then pulled her to the upper part of the hall, leaving the Empress behind.
The Empress’s eyes darkened, and she unhurriedly followed the Emperor and Consort Shu’s figures all the way to the main hall.
After the Emperor, Empress, and Consort Shu sat down, everyone sat down.
The hall was silent, no one daring to speak.
At this time, the Emperor saw that Xiao tianyao, the Huai Prince, was not in the hall and asked Consort Shu with concern,””Where’s Yao’ er? why isn’t he here? it’s your little birthday party today. As your son, how can he not attend?”
Consort Shu stood up and gently smiled.”He came to the palace early today, so I let him take a walk in the palace. He might have gone a little far, so he didn’t make it in time. But don’t worry, Your Majesty, I’ve sent someone to find him.”
Consort Shu chuckled after she finished speaking. The emperor’s brows furrowed slightly, still somewhat unhappy.
The Empress’s heart sank, feeling that something was about to happen today.
Why didn’t Huai Prince stay at the palace Banquet? why did he go for a walk?
The Empress shot an eye signal to an aunt beside her, asking her to go find someone.
However, Consort Shu looked at her and said,”Your Majesty, please be more forgiving. Yao’ er definitely did not mean to be late. He must have walked a little too far, so he’s late.”
Empress Jiang couldn’t send people to look for him again, but she kept feeling that something was wrong.
She raised her head and looked at Consort Shu.”It’s okay. Prince Huai has always been a person who knows the severity of things. If there are occasional mistakes, I will not hold it against you. I believe the Emperor will not hold it against you either.”
Since the Empress had said so, the Emperor could not say anything.
He could only wait.
It wouldn’t be good to start the banquet before Shu Fei’s son arrived.
In just a moment, the palace maidservant sent by Consort Shu rushed over.
As soon as he came in, he panted and said,””Your Highness, it’s not good. This servant went to look for someone and found the Imperial garden. From afar, I saw a few people standing in front of me. They seemed to be the guards of His Highness, but this servant saw a few black shadows flash and rush in the direction of His Highness. This servant was scared to death, so I quickly came back to report.”
As soon as the palace maidservant finished speaking, Consort Shu’s expression changed. She anxiously stood up and anxiously ran outside. “Yao’ er, Yao’ er, will he be alright?”
Consort Shu ran out with all her might, and the people in the hall behind her became nervous.
The emperor’s face was also filled with worry as he quickly stood up and walked out.
The Empress behind him felt that something was wrong, so she reached out and pulled the Emperor.””Chenqie will send someone to take a look. His Highness Huai Prince will be fine.”
But the moment the Empress opened her mouth, the Emperor glared at her in annoyance.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he directly led his men out of the hall.
Behind her, Empress Jiang’s face turned pale. She knew why the Emperor was glaring at her. He must have thought that she was stopping him on purpose.
The Empress thought to herself as she hurriedly followed behind the old Emperor.
The ministers also got up and followed him out. The madams and young ladies of the various families also followed.
Not far from Shu Fei’s Palace, the group heard the sound of fighting coming from the Imperial garden.
The emperor’s expression changed and he quickly ordered,””Guards, go and protect His Highness Huai immediately.”
Several guards left in a flash.
When the guards rushed over, they saw that Prince Huai’s men were indeed fighting with several Men in Black.
When the black-robed men saw the palace guards arrive, they quickly retreated. However, two of them were stopped by the palace guards. When the two men saw that they were stopped, they bit their tongues and committed suicide.
