Pathological Trapping - Chap 46
After noon, the emperor came in person.
After all, he had robbed his daughter-in-law, so the emperor had to come and express his condolences.
Although Li Dezhuang was not in the inner room, he knew that the emperor felt guilty from the look on his face when he entered the room.
Since he was here to appease his son, he must have brought gifts of all sizes, many of which Li Dezhuang had never seen in this palace.
Li Dezhuang was guarding outside when he suddenly heard something fall heavily inside.
The people guarding outside were stunned and rushed in.
Li Dezhuang followed him in.
Nothing happened inside, except that the box on the table was knocked over and fell to the ground, and the green hat inside rolled out.
The emperor was furious and pointed at the hat on the ground and asked, “Who gave it to you?”
Everyone in the palace knelt down and no one dared to speak.
Mu Jian stood in front of the old emperor with his back straight, like a stubborn child.
His voice trembled, “Father, you can’t be so nice to me anymore. Some people can’t stand it.”
At that moment, the emperor’s anger surged.
He kicked a nearby eunuch.
”Tell me! Who sent this hat?!”
The eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling, sweat dripping down his face from fear, “Yes, it’s the Eighth Prince.”
The emperor took several deep breaths.
”Good! That’s really good! What does he mean by giving this?! He mocked his brothers and sisters, and he is also mocking me?! Who gave him the courage?!”
No one dared to reply.
Mu Jian stood aside calmly, watching the emperor lose his temper calmly.
The emperor kicked his hat off and left angrily.
After a long time, people in the palace dared to raise their heads and take a peek at Mu Jian.
He was unusually calm.
After a long while, he opened his thin lips slightly, not taking what had just happened to heart at all.
”Everyone, get out.”
The palace maid slowly stood up.
”Guard Li…”
Li Dezhuang stopped.
After everyone inside had left, Mu Jian walked up to Li Dezhuang step by step, put his arms around his waist, and buried his head in Li Dezhuang’s shoulder.
The sound is dull.
”Hug me.”
Li Dezhuang reached out and hugged him.
The news that the Emperor had lost his temper in the Mu Jian Palace spread quickly. However, even faster than that, the Emperor was furious and punished the Eighth Prince by confining him for three months.
In the evening, the imperial concubine arrived at the Mu Jian Palace.
It was the first time that Li Dezhuang saw the palace so lively.
He is the emperor during the day and the imperial concubine at night.
It’s a pity that Li Dezhuang estimated that Mu Jian didn’t want such excitement.
The imperial concubine and Mu Jian entered the bedroom.
Li Dezhuang was responsible for guarding the door for them and could hear the conversation inside.
The Imperial Concubine spoke in a gentle voice, “Jian’er, mother knows that you have been wronged this time. Mother did not expect that the little bitch would dare to climb onto your father’s dragon bed, causing you to be laughed at in this palace. Mother feels really wronged for you.”
Li Dezhuang sneered.
I couldn’t help but present an Oscar trophy to this royal concubine.
If Li Dezhuang didn’t have a script, he would have believed the motherly love she played out.
The imperial concubine is a person who is only interested in money and power. She doesn’t care whether it is the Eighth Prince or the Ninth Prince who ascends the throne, as long as it is her son, it is enough.
Before, she felt that the Eighth Prince in her hands had a greater chance of winning and had never set foot here.
Now that the Eighth Prince was imprisoned, she immediately came to win over her own son.
”Jian’er, it’s okay. Mother brought you some stunning beauties this time. They are just outside the palace.”
Li Dezhuang raised his eyes and took a look.
Sure enough, there were three beauties waiting in the corridor.
Her figure and appearance are both top-notch.
”In the future, mother will find someone better for you.”
”Thank you, mother.”
”Jian’er, you have suffered so much these years. If you have any grievances in the future, just tell your mother.”
Mu Jian’s emotionless “hmm” came from the hall.
The imperial concubine didn’t sit for long before leaving.
It can be seen that she still doesn’t want people to know about her relationship with Mu Jian. She still wants to keep Mu Jian as a hidden chess piece.
When the imperial concubine left, she took another look at Li Dezhuang.
”Are you Li Dezhuang?”
Li Dezhuang knelt down and saluted, “Your Highness, that’s right.”
”You do look good, but the name doesn’t suit you.”
”My family is poor, and my mother only wants a slave who is virtuous and healthy. I ask for nothing else.”
The imperial concubine said “hmm”.
“Parents’ love is the most compassionate thing in the world. Parents’ love is the most thoughtful thing for their children.”
She glanced at Mu Jian when she said this.
Naked suggestion.
”Jian’er, now that this guard has entered the palace and has become your sidekick, you should give him a nicer name.”
Mu Jian pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, “Then I’ll give you a courtesy name. I’ll let you know.”
Be recognized and appreciated, and rise to a high position.
The Imperial Concubine nodded, “Not bad.”
Li Dezhuang frowned.
He always felt that something was making him feel uncomfortable.
The imperial concubine said, “You should serve His Highness well.”
”yes.”
The imperial concubine left with great fanfare.
Leaving three beauties in the corridor.
Li Dezhuang walked up to Mu Jian and said, “Your Highness, they…”
”Send him to the side hall to rest first.”
Li Dezhuang waved his hand and signaled his servant to do it.
Mu Jian turned around and went back into the room.
Li Dezhuang followed him in.
She had only taken two steps when Mu Jian turned around and hugged her.
The laughter was cold.
”Shouzhi, you see, she came to me as soon as Bage was imprisoned. In her eyes, I am just a chess piece. She moves when she needs me, and when she doesn’t, she doesn’t care whether I live or die.”
