Empress Dowager Wang was speechless for a moment. Although it was the bottom line of not harming pregnant women and their heirs, she had followed it for her entire life. Otherwise, how could the late Emperor have so many heirs? However, this did not mean that she was happy to see so many princes fighting with her son. Naturally, she would act as soon as they entered the door and directly hurt them to prevent any possibility of pregnancy.
She knew that she could not be compared to Empress Dowager Jin Yue who was gentle and magnanimous. Especially after she had a son and reached the position where she had no choice but to fight for it, she did not have a trace of guilt when she acted. Empress Dowager Jin Yue was the official Empress from the beginning. In addition, her seniority was actually one generation higher than them. Naturally, there was a sense of kindness in her when she looked at them. Occasionally, there would be one or two ignorant people who offended her. She could treat it as the younger generation throwing a tantrum and let it go with a smile.
The late Emperor did not give her the title of Empress until his death. In the eyes of some ignorant concubines, they were all concubines. It was just a matter of seniority. What right did Wang Yingying have to hold the phoenix seal and order them around? If she was as gentle and magnanimous as Empress Dowager Jin Yue, she would have died a few times.
Luoshuanga sighed and said, "I know that I have no right to criticize Empress Dowager. I have seen Empress Dowager Wang's difficulties since young. However, Empress Dowager Wang's reincarnation is inevitable. You and I know very well how Wen Wu's body was ruined. How her sister Wen Si died and how those innocent girls of the Wen Clan were humiliated. There is no need for me to explain to Empress Dowager Wang.
Empress Dowager Wang was used as a punching bag. It is unreasonable for me to blame Empress Dowager Wang for the resentment that I cannot express towards Empress Dowager Wang. Empress Dowager Wang does not care if you believe it or not. I do not want Wang to die. As long as she is well-behaved in the future, I do not mind raising one more person. "
"But that is the fault of the men!" Empress Dowager Xuan Yue rarely blushed in front of Luo Shuang. On one hand, he was her first son. On the other hand, he was the person she would rely on for the rest of her life. But today, perhaps the most secret pain in her heart had been poked, causing her to lose her sense of propriety.
Luoshuanga looked at her in a daze for a while and said, "Yes, this is the fault of the men. Uncle should not have ignored my and Wang's wishes and forced Wang into the family. and I should not have been so weak. I should have been disobedient and unfilial, I should not have taken Wang into the family! If Wang did not enter the family, Empress Dowager Wang would not have used 'Congealed Dew Fragrance'. The child in Yiren's belly is also my first child. Wen Wu would not have been forced into my room. If all of this did not happen, Wang, Wen Si, Wen Wu and Yiren would still be fine. Except for the men of the Wang family, everyone else would be fine! "
Empress Dowager Xue Yue was startled by his sudden harsh words. She clutched her chest, and her face was really pale. She didn't know what to say and could only murmur, "I'm doing this for your own good, for your own good, for … for your own good." Her voice gradually trailed off.
Luoshuanga raised his head and closed his eyes. He said, "Empress Dowager Wang, if you really want to blame someone, then blame me. Everything has nothing to do with Wen Wu. If it were not for my dragon throne and to appease the Wang family, Empress Dowager Wang would not have forced me to take Wang in. You also would not have killed your own grandson for Wang's happiness and anger. After all these years, I know that you are more upset than anyone else.
Now that things have come to this, I can only promise that Wang will be buried in Imperial Concubine's Garden in the name of Yao Ronghua. As for Wen Wu, Empress Dowager Wang, you can rest assured that she will not be buried beside me. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. "
Empress Dowager Wang stared blankly at Luoshuanga's handsome figure as it disappeared behind the screen. For a moment, she did not know what to say to make him stay. Should she say sorry that it was Empress Dowager Wang's fault, or should she continue to say that Empress Dowager Wang was doing this for his own good? For the first time, she was at a loss. For the first time, she doubted whether her decision was right or wrong.
After leaving Fengqi Palace, Liang Yu-an asked carefully, "Your Majesty, are you going to the Dragon Subduing Palace or to another concubine's place?"
Luoshuanga was very tired. He subconsciously said, "Let's go to the Red Palace."
"Let's go, Your Majesty. Let's go to the Red Palace."
Fengzhi Palace had always been the most peaceful place in the palace. For one, it was because there were two pregnant women in the palace. Although some people in the palace secretly resented Concubine Jing's good luck, they still stopped what they were doing. After all, people had to have a bottom line. Even if they did not care about others, they still had to think about their own children and grandchildren.
Furthermore, Luo Shuangyin had made it clear that no one in the palace was allowed to disturb Concubine Jing for no reason. In addition, half of the people in the Red Palace were members of the Di Raccoon Clan, and they took orders from the emperor directly. Those who came to see Concubine Jing for no reason would not even be able to see a single hair on her head.
Concubine Jing led the servants forward to greet Concubine Jing. Halfway through, she was stopped by Luoshuanga. "Your body is heavy. There's no need to be so polite."
Princess Chuiyou, who was standing beside Concubine Jing, went forward and grabbed Luoshuanga's robe. She said crisply, "Father, you haven't come to visit Mother in a long time. Mother isn't the only one who misses you. I miss you as well."
Princess Chuiyou was now under Concubine Jing's name. For the sake of Concubine Jing's face, Luoshuanga would not treat her too coldly. He bent down and picked up Princess Chuiyou personally before putting her down. He said, "Chuiyou has grown up."
Princess Chui You immediately felt overwhelmed by the favor. Children were all sensitive. Earlier, when she was with her birth mother, she keenly noticed that her father didn't care much about her. Now, her face was red as she impatiently said, "In the past few days, mother consort taught son the Three Character Classic. Son will recite it to father emperor."
Luoshuanga patted Princess Chuiyou's little head and said, "Next time, I have some matters to discuss with your mother. You can leave first."
Princess Chuiyou was a little disappointed, but she still bowed. "I will take my leave."
Concubine Jing saw that he looked tired and did not ask much. She just helped him into the inner room. "Your Majesty must be tired. Why don't you rest here for a while?"
Luoshuanga really did lie down when he said that he wanted to rest. He did not feel very tired. He just held onto Concubine Jing and did not let go. He carefully avoided her stomach and rested his head on her legs. Concubine Jing took off her armor and gestured for the servants to leave. She then gently massaged the temples of the person on her knees.
"Yiren, am I very useless?" At this moment, Luoshuanga did not look like the ruler of the world who held the power of life and death in his hands. He also did not look like the polite and modest gentleman that others saw him to be. He looked like a child with low self-esteem. He also spoke very carefully. "In the past, I really felt that people like the Wang family would be thrown aside after they were done using me. What was there to feel guilty about? She was after my title as the crown prince, and I was after the Wang family behind her. This was just a transaction, and it had nothing to do with romance.
I always thought that we were well aware of it, but now that they are gone, I suddenly wonder if I have harmed them. If it was not me sitting in this position, but some other brother, would they have done better than me? Would no one have gotten hurt? "
