He had not understood why the whole thing ended up being terrible, yet the moment he saw the Empress Dowager, one clear idea suddenly hit him.
It had been the Empress Dowager. It had always been his mother.
He was the King, and he should be informed about what happened in and out of the court. He should be in charge of everything and the Empress Dowager had no right to conceal anything from him.
If it had not been the Empress Dowager who was involved with the whole matter, he would have had a better idea of what was going on. And he would have had a better way to make the arrangements.
The King squinted and bellowed with teeth clenched. “Mother, are you aware that I am the King, and you are not in the position to make decisions for me! Why are you concealing everything from me?”
The King had become furious, but that was something the Empress Dowager had expected.
It was her own son, and she was very aware of what he was like.
After the King threw his temper, the Empress Dowager said, “I am doing this for you, and trying to make you realize that the whole country is more important than just one woman. You should not visit the town at the moment. All the princes and ambassadors have returned home, and you have other affairs to deal with. You must not waste your time in the town.”
The Empress Dowager kept stopping the King.
The King sneered and looked at the Empress Dowager. His face was filled with displeasure.
She was the Empress Dowager and his mother, true, but he was in charge of the country, and just because he respected his mother did not necessarily mean that his mother could take control of him.
He was going to deal with her when he returned from the town, but what mattered the most was to visit the Queen, so the King had no interest in talking with his mother at the moment.
De Fu had just arrived. “Everything is ready, King.”
The moment De Fu walked in, he met the ferocious look from the Empress Dowager. De Fu dodged the look from her and did not regret what he had done. De Fu even felt sorry for not telling the truth earlier. Therefore, he said nothing to the Empress Dowager. He was the King’s servant, not hers.
The King ignored the Empress Dowager directly He looked at De Fu and said, “Since everything is ready, let’s leave.”
Having said this, he and De Fu went out of the palace,
Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager intended to stop him, but the Kings guards stopped her, forbidding her from approaching.
The Empress Dowager sighed heavily and could not do anything about it.
She looked at Auntie next to her and said, The King must have lost his mind. Let’s visit Honored Princess Jing and see what she can do.”
The King was a soft-hearted person, and now he knew about the Queen’s sickness.
If he passed on the heir to someone else when he saw the Queen in the town, then the plan would be ruined. Although Ling was prevailing at the moment, he would always be considered as someone who stole the throne. She was not going to allow the child of her bloodline to suffer from misunderstandings and misery. She would not allow her son and Ling to suffer from anything at all.
So the Empress Dowager and Auntie hurried to Honored Princess Jing together.
Honored Princess Jing was in the middle of making preparations for Lord Huai’s wedding.
Since she was in charge of the wedding for the Queen’s son, Honored Princess Jing decided to make a plan so that he would never exceed her own son’s wedding no matter what.
The Empress Dowager rushed in and said, “Just drop it, something big has happened, get ready and go to the town with me.”.
