Chapter 1247 - 466: Palace Scheming Is No Match for Rebellion (Part 3)
Suddenly, a surge of wicked fire burst in Emperor Yongcheng’s chest.
"Qing Nu, you don’t need to worry about Mom. Mom has said, the most she cares about is always just you!"
"In the past, Mom thought wrongly, mistakenly believed that making you the Emperor, letting you rule the world, was the best for you!"
"Mom ignored your feelings, alas, but fortunately, you still have Nianer, the one in your heart!"
"This time, Mom will not stop you anymore. If you want to marry Nianer, then go marry her! Only if you are happy, Mom will be happy!"
He Tiantian spoke to this extent, if Emperor Yongcheng were to decline further, it would seem fake.
He clenched his fist and forced a stiff smile, "Thank you, Mother, for your understanding!"
After speaking, Emperor Yongcheng got up from the ground, excused himself for state affairs, and left.
"My Lady, you, you—"
Watching Emperor Yongcheng leave, Nanny Song couldn’t hold back and came to He Tiantian’s side, asking suspiciously.
As a confidante, Nanny Song certainly understood her master.
Apart from matching families and political interests, Empress Dowager He had no reason to agree to this matter.
Just her hatred for Lady Hu was enough for Empress Dowager He to refuse Zheng Nianer as her "daughter-in-law."
Nanny Song was not unaware that the little Emperor and Zheng Nianer were childhood sweethearts; at one time, she secretly thought—
If all else fails, when the Emperor grows up, he can marry a noble lady from a noble family as Empress, then bring Zheng Nianer into the harem.
Though Zheng Nianer would still linger around their Empress Dowager, which was indeed annoying.
But after all, she would only be a consort, not a proper daughter-in-law.
For the little Emperor, the Empress Dowager could tolerate it a little.
But now, the Empress Dowager actually agreed to let the Emperor wed Zheng Nianer as Empress.
This, this—
"Ah Wu, didn’t you hear what the Emperor said just now?"
He Tiantian naturally knew the doubts in Nanny Song’s heart, she feigned hurt and asked.
Nanny Song paused, then carefully reminisced over Emperor Yongcheng’s words.
Uh, indeed very hurtful, utterly heartless.
Never mind the Empress Dowager being his mother, even as a slave like Nanny Song, hearing these words would make one feel coldhearted.
But the problem is, in the past, the little Emperor had said similar things, hadn’t he?
Every time there was conflict between mother and son, the little Emperor would say things that pierced the heart.
At most, this time it was more caustic and even more hurtful.
Nanny Song could understand, after all, it concerned the little Emperor’s lifelong matters, his emotions would be agitated, understandably so.
"Ah Wu, I am also a person, I also have feelings, when my heart is hurt so many times, it also pains!"
He Tiantian pointed to her chest, said mournfully.
Nanny Song’s heart trembled fiercely!
Indeed, no matter how strong her master was, she was still a woman.
When she had a husband, he favored consorts, tried to destroy the original alliance.
After finally enduring her husband’s death and securing the throne for her son, her son blamed her for not being loving enough.
Even said that he never wanted to be Emperor, that he was trapped in the Imperial Palace by his mother!
Perhaps the little Emperor was indeed aggrieved, but wasn’t the Empress Dowager wronged too?
They are closest mother and son; how much suffering and hardship had the Empress Dowager endured for the little Emperor.
The little Emperor doesn’t acknowledge, not even the basic understanding.
Parents indeed should give everything for their children.
But when always one-sidedly giving, even parents would feel cold, feel sad.
Previously, the little Emperor always upheld Lady Hu, so much that a wet nurse dared to be arrogant in the Imperial Palace.
Though the Empress Dowager was not exactly humiliated, she was mocked in secret—how even an Empress Dowager wasn’t as respected as a slave!
Their Empress Dowager from childhood was a noble lady from a wealthy family, even in wartime, she never suffered disgrace.
And yet, when she became the most prestigious woman in the world, everyone revered her, supported her, but it turns out her own son—
Thinking of the grievances her master endured over the years, Nanny Song’s heart ached too.
And today, the always strong Empress Dowager was literally maddened to the point of fainting by the Emperor.
The Emperor didn’t even stay by her bedside, yet under the pretense of having matters to attend to, went out to visit "Mrs. Hu."
Nanny Song placed herself in Empress Dowager He’s shoes, slightly empathized, and felt inexplicably sad and angry.
"Forget it, when a child grows up, he no longer listens to his mother! I thought everything was for his good, but it turned out to ’hurt’ him!"
"In the future, let him be! Whoever he wants to marry, he marries, whether he can successfully rule, let’s see his fate."
He Tiantian showed a resigned look, spoke with a desolate tone.
"My Lady, you... you must take care of yourself."
Nanny Song originally wanted to cry out, "Your life is so bitter," but swallowed her words.
Alas, better let the Empress Dowager take good care of her health, because when the little Emperor makes a mess, the Lady still has to clean up after him!
