Godly Empress Doctor - Chapter 1465
Chapter 1465: Untitled
Holding Empress Dugu’s hand, Emperor Wu said in a solemn voice, “Even you are concerned about my health, but that defiant son of mine… He wants to see me die from frustration, so that he can take the throne!”
That last bit was a very serious accusation!
Empress Dugu secretly rejoiced, but she feigned a terrified voice and said, “Your Majesty, please don’t be mad! I’m sure that’s not the crown prince’s intention!”
The more she tried to appease Emperor Wu, the angrier he became!
“Since he doesn’t want to go, then don’t!” Emperor Wu waved his hand in vexation.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Granny Gong ran to the empress dowager for help.
The old lady was already in her carriage and couldn’t be bothered to move around. However, she sat up in astonishment when she heard the news.
“Is the crown prince still not here?” The old lady’s face darkened.
All the officials were waiting outside Dingwu Gate, and they had all heard Emperor Wu’s opinion of his son, which was very bad for the teenager.
Granny Gong nodded without hesitation.
“That shouldn’t be the case.” The empress dowager frowned and murmured, “Junjun is the type of person who always keeps his promises. He won’t arrive early, but he won’t be late either. There has to be a reason for it.”
After that, she suddenly looked up and stared at Granny Gong. “Speak! What happened in the crown prince’s residence?!”
Granny Gong said, “Well…”
“Are you not going to tell me? Fine!” The empress dowager stared at Granny Gong and said, “Bring Bixi here!”
Bixi?
Granny Gong felt like fainting.
Bixi couldn’t come, because Jun Linyuan had killed her.
“What?” Seeing that Granny Gong wasn’t moving, the empress dowager looked displeased.
“Miss Bixi…” After some hesitation, Granny Gong finally told the old lady, “Miss Bixi is dead.”
WHAT?!
The empress dowager was astonished!
She stared at Granny Gong in disbelief. “How?! Did someone kill her?!”
Granny Gong said calmly, “It was His Royal Highness…”
The furious empress dowager immediately calmed down. “Was it Junjun?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Granny Gong nodded.
All anger disappeared from the old lady’s face, and she waved her hand. “I’m sure Junjun had his reasons. So be it. It’s no big deal.”
Granny Gong was speechless.
She was already used to the empress dowager’s behavior, so she wasn’t surprised by her reaction. The others around the old lady were even more used to it, and no one looked the least bit disturbed.
“So, are you here because something happened to the crown prince?” The empress dowager looked at Granny Gong.
Granny Gong immediately said, “His Royal Highness is late and hasn’t arrived yet, so His Majesty is displeased…”
“That’s it? I thought it was something much bigger. Come. Let’s have a look.”
With Granny Lan at her elbow, the empress dowager left her carriage and headed for Emperor Wu’s.
Meanwhile, Emperor Wu was throwing a tantrum at Jun Linyuan’s late arrival.
He smacked the table and bellowed, “If that defiant son doesn’t want to go, disqualify him! We’re leaving now!”
Empress Dugu secretly rejoiced. It seemed that the crown prince had fallen out of favor.
Seeing how furious the emperor was, all the officials shivered in fear and didn’t dare to move.
“Your Majesty!”
A cold voice rang out at that moment.
