Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Chapter 517: How Lonely

Chapter 517: Chapter 517: How Lonely

The Emperor felt that he had lost his composure in front of Lin Zizi, and the realization that the Noble Consort was gone forever and would never be seen again left a sense of desolation in his heart.

His spirits were greatly dampened all at once.

He waved his hand and said softly, “Summon the Imperial Physician.”

The Imperial Physician hurried in, and seeing that the Emperor was unharmed but the Princess Consort seemed to be having trouble, he quickly went over to examine her.

Having been serving in the palace for a long time, the Imperial Physician knew how to read the situation well.

The women in the Harem would try all sorts of tricks to win favor.

Faking illness was all too common.

If the Imperial Physician were to tell the truth each time, even several heads would not be enough when the time came to move.

After a quick examination, he knew that there was nothing wrong with the Princess Consort’s leg.

But he wouldn’t say so outright.

He was well-versed in diplomatic language, and after advising her about invigorating energy and nourishing blood, and taking a good rest, he took his medicine box and left.

The Emperor was no fool, and he understood that she was faking.

In front of Lin Zizi, however, he couldn’t vent his anger, so he said, “In that case, Princess Consort, go back and have a good rest, and don’t go out casually.”

Jiang Ning said, “I haven’t seen Mother for a long time, and I want to take her to the East Palace for a visit. I ask for your permission.”

Lin Zizi, thinking of her cute little grandchildren Yuxue, looked eagerly at the Emperor with expectant eyes.

As the Emperor was captivated by those eyes, he forgot everything.

He agreed to everything.

Even if it meant giving his kingdom…

No.

Perhaps that wasn’t possible after all.

After all, Lin Zizi didn’t have a place for him in her heart.

If Lin Zizi had agreed to be with him back then, not being the Emperor wouldn’t have mattered.

At this thought, the Emperor was filled with even greater melancholy.

He had the world at his feet, but he lost his beloved one.

In the future, there would be no one to share the joys and sorrows of each passing day and night with him.

How lonely that would be.

“Go ahead,” he waved his hand and didn’t look at Lin Zizi.

Lin Zizi said a few auspicious words, and then, holding her daughter’s hand, she happily left.

Watching her leaving figure, the Emperor couldn’t help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful towards Jiang Ruobai.

Heartbreak, loss, and anger built up inside the Emperor, so he ordered the Empress to be summoned.

The Empress had been watching the situation here closely, and as soon as she learned that Lin Zizi had left the Heavenly Mandate Hall, the eunuch came.

The Empress was somewhat apprehensive, and carefully adjusting her attire to maintain the dignity of an Empress, she presented herself before the Emperor.

The Emperor’s face was cold: “Empress, you have become quite fond of making decisions on your own recently.”

The Empress immediately knelt down: “Your concubine is just worried about you.”

“Lin Zizi is Prime Minister Jiang’s wife and the Crown Prince’s birth mother. What is your intention in having her come to my chambers?” The Emperor slammed the table, “I may as well tell you the truth, I loved the Noble Consort, but I have never forgotten about Lin Zizi. If I really wanted her regardless of the consequences, I would make her the Empress and depose you, the fool!”

The Empress’ face turned slightly pale.

She held back her tears, lowered her gaze, and said, “Your Majesty, please calm down. If you do that, you would be committing a great offense against the world.”

“I am the Emperor!”

His words implied that the whole world belonged to him.

Let alone a woman.

Even if she was a subject’s woman.

If he really wanted to do it, what could anyone else do?

At this point, the Empress regretted her decision to invite Lin Zizi into the palace, as it did not improve the Emperor’s mood but rather added to his irritability.

He had just lost his beloved woman and was then confronted with the unattainable love of his youth.

How could he feel better?

Since the Emperor had been ill, his temper had grown increasingly larger, and eventually he severely reprimanded the Empress with an edict, causing the Empress and her family great disgrace..
