Chapter 1244 - 465: Palace Scheming Is No Match for Rebellion (Part 2)_3
"Mother, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have upset you!"
Emperor Yongcheng lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt before He Tiantian.
Seeing him like this, He Tiantian silently said to herself, "Here it comes."
Immediately, she felt a pang of sorrow for the original character.
See, this is your dear son.
You were angered to the point of fainting, and as soon as you come to, your son is here to press you!
Yes, pressing!
He Tiantian, during her unconsciousness, had already accepted both versions of the plot.
Thus, He Tiantian knew clearly that Emperor Yongcheng harbored no real familial affection towards the original character.
His kneeling was not out of sincere remorse; he was continuing to "request".
Ah, how deep must his feelings be for his beloved, or does he simply not care about his own mother?
She had just awakened, not even catching a breath, when—
"Mother, I do not love the Nineteenth Lady of the Wang Family; the one I love is Nianer!"
Emperor Yongcheng did not fail He Tiantian’s disdain, quickly speaking his mind.
He Tiantian had not yet responded when Nanny Song furrowed her brow.
Nianer?
Surely it’s not the person she thought it was!
If it truly is this person, then Nanny Song had every reason to believe that Emperor Yongcheng must have been provoked, or was mentally unwell!
The legitimate daughter of the thousand-year-old Langya Wang Family VS the lowly born Zheng Nianer!
Even ordinary families, much less the Royal Family, would know whom to choose.
"Mother, I beg you, please fulfill your son’s wish!"
Emperor Yongcheng saw He Tiantian remain silent, staring at him fixedly, and his heart began to flutter with unease.
Lowering his head, avoiding his mother’s gaze, he continued to plead: "Ooh ooh, Mother, for as long as I can remember, I’ve never asked you for anything. Just this once, please agree."
Emperor Yongcheng’s initial "ooh ooh ooh" was merely fake crying.
But as he cried, recalling his childhood, he actually began to feel sad.
Tears streamed down, dropping like raindrops, and Emperor Yongcheng, with a strong sob in his voice, started to complain: "When I was young, I didn’t want to be emperor, but you insisted I become one!"
"I wanted to be a wealthy wanderer among the hills and rivers, but you insisted on keeping me trapped within this deep Imperial Palace!"
"...Mother, I am your son; of course, I should listen to you and be filial! However, please pity your son a bit too; marriage is a lifelong happiness, so please fulfill your son’s wish!"
He Tiantian still didn’t utter a word.
Nanny Song, on the other hand, was somewhat displeased, staring angrily and offensively at Emperor Yongcheng!
Listen!
What did the Emperor just utter?
Empress Dowager birthed him, painstakingly supported him to the throne, and instead of gratitude, he harbors resentment!
Not wanting to be emperor? Just wishing to be a wealthy wanderer?
Ha!
Is it foolishness or naivety?
Within the Royal Family, as the legitimate son of the Empress Yuan, if he didn’t become emperor, he wouldn’t even survive.
Ungrateful, unappreciative!
If this were not the Emperor before her, Nanny Song would have wanted to slap him twice.
After the anger passed, Nanny Song was filled with heartbreak.
Emperor Yongcheng held little affection for the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager immensely loved her only son.
However, the Empress Dowager was strong-willed and constantly engaged in political affairs, leaving no time to bond with Emperor Yongcheng.
Thus, an opportunistic malicious person exploited the situation, causing the initially distant mother-son relationship to become increasingly cold.
Emperor Yongcheng could ignore the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager—
Alas, Nanny Song finally understood why her typically strong-minded lady had fainted from anger.
She was heartbroken by the Emperor.
Now, instead of comforting her, Emperor Yongcheng sprinkled salt on her wounds!
Nanny Song was utterly heartbroken for her lady!
Raising her head, Nanny Song fought the urge to cry, looking sympathetically and sorrowfully at the woman on the bed.
Huh!
What’s going on?
Their lady showed no reaction!
No sadness, no anger, just complete calm.
Nanny Song was stupefied.
Emperor Yongcheng also sensed something amiss in the atmosphere.
He cautiously raised his head, to carefully observe He Tiantian’s expression.
With one glance, he plunged into his "mother’s" deep eyes.
Emperor Yongcheng only felt a moment of confusion, an inexplicable unease and fear deep in his soul.
He bit his lower lip, the pain waking him up, prompting him to quickly lower his head.
His heart racing, his whole being in a bit of a panic: What’s wrong with Mother? Not angered, instead, so calm?
After a long, long pause, just when Emperor Yongcheng could no longer endure this "calm", He Tiantian finally spoke—
"Emperor, are you sure you are not asking to marry Miss Wang, but rather the daughter of your wet nurse, Zheng Nianer?!"
Emperor Yongcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitating for a while, he slowly nodded.
He really liked his childhood sweetheart Nianer and wanted to spend his life with her.
"Very well! I will fulfill your wish!"
