Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Xiao was stunned.
Lin Xiaoyue glared at Li Xiao again.
“The Imperial Consort personally wrote a letter, and His Highness personally sent someone to receive it. If my sister doesn’t come and His Highness can’t accomplish anything, then how should we face His Highness?”
From the moment they joined Prince Anyang, they were bound to him.
Now, Prince Anyang relied on them a lot, so he naturally would not say anything. However, when Prince Anyang ascended the throne and ruled the world, the situation would be different.
At that time, Prince Anyang would be in an absolutely high position. Would he settle scores with them later?
Therefore, there was no choice at all whether his sister entered the capital or not.
She also believed that her sister did not enter the capital to help Emperor Yan. Most of all, it was for them and the Nangong Family.
Li Xiao was stunned.
“But His Highness said-”
“Do you believe him?” Lin Xiaoyue interrupted Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was silent.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
“You don’t believe it either. However, you ignored it.”
Seeing Li Xiao’s expression freeze, Lin Xiaoyue sighed.
“Think about it. The one who did something wrong was Emperor Yan, not your sister.”
“You’re not the only one who hates the Nangong family.”
“To put it bluntly, you just lost your family. As for your sister, not only did she lose her family, she also lost her husband and suffered a betrayal. The torment in her heart is worse than yours.”
After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue didn’t look at Li Xiao anymore and turned around to return to Li Wan’s courtyard.
Li Xiao didn’t chase after her either. He stood in place and recalled Lin Xiaoyue’s words.
He felt a dull pain in his heart.
Imperial Palace, Shanghua Palace.
Hearing Prince Anyang’s report, Emperor Yan, who was originally lying weakly on the couch, suddenly sat up excitedly.
“She entered the capital? Where is she? Quickly bring her to me!”
As Emperor Yan spoke, he raised his hand and touched his hair, as if he was tidying up his appearance, afraid that he would scare Consort Shu.
When Prince Anyang saw this, he was shocked.
He quickly went forward to support Emperor Yan.
“Don’t be anxious. Consort Shu is very tired. She is temporarily staying in the residence outside of this son’s palace.”
“Oh…” Emperor Yan’s expression froze as he replied dejectedly.
Then he seemed to remember something and muttered, “that’s right. Anyang County is thousands of miles from the capital. I’m afraid she really can’t take it.”
“Then did she say when she would come to see me?” Emperor Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Prince Anyang.
The antic.i.p.ation in his eyes made Prince Anyang feel a little sad.
An Emperor actually needed the other party’s consent, or even charity, to meet someone…
Yes, although he didn’t want to use this word, his father’s gaze only made him think of this word.
“Don’t worry. Since Consort Shu has agreed to enter the capital, she will definitely be willing to see you. I will go back to bring her into the palace to see you.” Thinking of this, Prince Anyang quickly said to Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan smiled and waved his hand.
“Eh, there’s no hurry.”
“When she gave birth, she fell ill. I’m afraid she won’t be able to recover for a while.”
“Let her rest for now. When she is well rested, bring her to the palace. 1 will wait for her in Shuanghua Palace.”
When Prince Anyang saw that his father had a smile on his face and instantly regained his spirit, he was surprised.
He wasn’t the only one who was surprised. Zhang Shi was also shocked.
She knew that the Emperor was deeply in love with Consort Shu. Otherwise, Lady Yu and she would not have received the same love.
Even if the Emperor knew that she was not Consort Shu and was arranged by the Imperial Consort to be by his side, he still treated her very well.
It was because he could see Consort Shu through her.
Now, she could be considered to have truly seen the Emperor’s love for Consort Shu.
A moment ago, he was still dispirited and on the verge of death.
A moment later, he sat up excitedly because he received news of Consort Shu entering the capital.
Also, even though he was tortured by poison and drug addiction to the point of death, the Emperor still gritted his teeth and persevered.
It was because he was waiting for Consort Shu and Consort Shu had not arrived yet.
Seeing Emperor Yan like this, Prince Anyang had a complicated expression.
“Yes!” Then, he bowed to Emperor Yan.
After some thought, Emperor Yan looked at Prince Anyang again.
“Oh right, before bringing Consort Shu into the palace, send someone to send a message to me one…oh no, four hours in advance.”
Prince Anyang paused.
“Yes!” Then, he bowed to Emperor Yan again.
Only then did Emperor Yan lie back down on the couch.
He began to ask about Consort Shu’s journey and what happened in the Anyang Residence.
After learning that Consort Shu was well and being taken care of, Emperor Yan was relieved.
“Alright, after we return, get someone to take good care of her. 1 want to take a nap.” Emperor Yan finally said.
“Yes. 1 will take my leave.” Only then did Prince Anyang leave.
Before he left, he even gave Zhang Shi a look and instructed her to take good care of Emperor Yan.
Zhang Shi bowed and nodded..
