Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 909 - : So Impatient?_1

Chapter 909: Chapter 909: So Impatient?_1

Though the Emperor’s tone sounded somewhat impatient, everyone present could tell that he was indulging her!

The Crown Prince dismissed those around him, leaving only Emperor, Jiang Ning, and himself in the room.

“Emperor Father, are you really going to protect and indulge the Queen Mother?” He asked seriously.

“Do you even need to ask?” Jiang Ning whispered, “Did he investigate your concubine mother’s death thoroughly? Now…”

“Jiang Ning, shut up!”

The Emperor was furious, “Who allowed you to mention Concubine Jin?”

...

Jiang Ning moved to stand behind Li Hongyuan, keeping a safe distance from the Emperor. He didn’t shut up, but continued to say, “There’s no outsider here, I’m going to say these things that have been on my mind for a long time! When my father found out that Concubine Jin’s death was related to the Empress, why didn’t you continue the investigation? Why didn’t you punish the Empress?”

The Emperor looked grim, “Just based on Mu Jian’s one-sided account? Apart from that, did your father present any concrete evidence that Concubine Jin’s death was related to the Empress?”

“You didn’t let my father continue the investigation. If he did, there would eventually be evidence!”

“What do you know.” The Emperor glared at her.

Li Hongyuan said, “The Princess Consort may not understand. Emperor Father and Queen Mother are childhood sweethearts. Even if she made some mistakes, it’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to be too harsh.”

The Emperor gave Li Hongyuan a deep look, his face cold. “Ever since I took Jiang Ning as my wife, the Crown Prince has increasingly become overbearing, daring to say anything in front of me.”

Jiang Ning popped her head out from behind Li Hongyuan, “What relationship is closer than that of father and son? If one can’t even speak his mind in front of his own father, that would be too pitiful!”

The Emperor fell silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh. “There are some things you youngsters cannot understand yet. I don’t blame you. Let this matter rest. Punishing Shuihua and Princess Ling’an to vent anger for the Crown Prince’s side concubine is enough.”

Usually respectful towards the Emperor, the Crown Prince was stubborn this time. “Emperor Father, if there’s something I don’t understand, I’d ask that you enlighten me.”

The Emperor was faintly impatient, “Crown Prince, can’t you understand my words?”

Looking at his son, a handsome man in his prime, and thinking about the high praises he received from the court officials, the Emperor felt a bit irritated.

Even though this was his own son, ever since he became the Crown Prince, it seemed like they had naturally become competitors.

His son’s respect and submission had gradually vanished.

Is he so eager?

Seeing the Emperor’s displeasure, Jiang Ning quickly reached out to lightly pull Li Hongyuan’s clothes, whispering, “Don’t say anymore.”

Jiang Ning couldn’t see his face or expression, but she saw his clenched fist slowly relax.

After a while, he said, “Your son obeys.”

The eunuch came out to report: “Your Majesty, the Empress has awakened.”

“Understood.”

The Emperor got up to see the Empress.

As per protocol, once the Emperor left, the Crown Prince and Princess Consort had to follow.

But they both stood there and didn’t move.

“Why don’t we go and see Concubine Li?” Jiang Ning suggested, “Master Dong said she might have a brain hemorrhage. The situation could be serious or mild, and she may never wake up.”

The Crown Prince looked indifferent, “Since she’s not awake, what’s the use of seeing her? If she pulls through this crisis, we can talk then.”

“Why are you so cold towards Li Yuanyuan?” Jiang Ning couldn’t help questioning.

“It’s not that I’m cold towards Li Yuanyuan, I’m like this to everyone.” Li Hongyuan paused, adding, “Except for Lingzi.”
