Chapter 408 Princess Cang Yue is Imprisoned
This side of the Yangxin Palace.
After Cangyue fed the emperor porridge, she did not leave.
She took advantage of Prince Kang's absence to immediately withdraw Concubine Rou and Prince Kang's spies from the palace.
Only then did she dare to talk to the old emperor.
"Father, they have all left. You can open your eyes now."
After Cang Yue finished speaking, the old emperor slowly opened his eyes.
"Cang Yue, is your sister Jiang back?"
"Father, Sister Jiang has been here before. However, she was called out by Second Brother after staying for a short time. She has not returned yet."
After hearing this, the old emperor suddenly became anxious.
"Hey, how can this girl go alone? The second brother has ulterior motives towards her and has long wanted to monopolize her."
After hearing this, Cangyue became a little worried.
"What should we do? Should we send someone to look for her?"
The old emperor shook his head. "No, I won't hurt her. It's just..."
He hesitated to speak, as if he found it difficult to start.
Cang Yue saw the old emperor's concerns and asked softly, "Just what?"
The old emperor sighed deeply, as if he had something difficult to say.
"It's okay." He finally chose to remain silent.
Cangyue felt a little strange, but did not continue to ask.
After a while, the old emperor suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hasn't your seventh brother come to the palace these two days?"
Cang Yue shook her head and replied, "Yes, I came here the day before yesterday. I came in disguise like Sister Jiang because my mother and my second brother had already taken control of the palace at that time."
When the old emperor heard this, his face turned gloomy.
He clenched his fists and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"I dote on Concubine Rou, this vicious woman. And I also have high hopes for that kid, Prince Kang Feng Sicheng."
His voice was filled with endless anger and disappointment, as if the rage in his heart was about to explode.
"Father, please be patient for two more days. Seventh brother is already planning, and he will rescue you. Then you can settle the score with them." At this time, Cangyue spoke again to comfort him.
She even leaned close to his ear and briefly explained Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen's plan.
"Cang Yue, Father knows that Old Seven will do his best to save me, but I feel guilty towards him and Concubine Xian over the years."
The old emperor tried his best to hide the sadness in his heart, his eyes moistened.
The old emperor took a deep breath, as if he was lost in memories, and slowly said: "When I was young and energetic, I only wanted to consolidate my throne, so I took advantage of the power of Concubine Xian's mother's family and took the ignorant girl (Concubine Xian) into the palace. However, it was just a whim, and I favored Concubine Xian a few times. After that, I never treated her well again, let alone stayed overnight in her palace."
At this point, the old emperor's voice became a little choked, and his eyes revealed a hint of regret and self-blame.
"Later, when I learned that Concubine Xian had given birth to Hen'er, I was worried that Concubine Rou would be jealous, so I rarely visited them..."
The old emperor's tone was full of helplessness and guilt, and he seemed to be very regretful for his past behavior.
For the first time, he felt that the words that came out of his mouth were like a knife, deeply hurting the old emperor's heart and reminding him of those neglected years.
He couldn't help but sigh: "I have let down too many people. Now that I think about it, I really regret it!"
After saying this, the old emperor sighed deeply, with an indescribable sadness welling up in his heart.
……
That afternoon, Cangyue and Jiang Yimo returned to Cangyue's residence and found that Feng Wuhen had left.
The two were confused as to why he left suddenly or what he was going to do.
They could only guess at various possibilities, but could not be sure.
As time passed, it got darker.
Just as Cang Yue and Jiang Yi Mo were preparing to rest, a palace servant came running in with shocking news: "Prince Sui, Prince Xie, and Prince Li are at the palace gate asking to see the emperor! But Concubine Rou and Prince Kang won't let them see him."
The news was a surprise to both of them. However, worse things were yet to come.
The palace servant who was trying to get the news continued, "Right now, Concubine Rou and Prince Kang are defending the Yangxin Palace, preventing the three princes from sneaking into the Palace. The mother and son seem to be very determined about this matter and are unwilling to give in."
This news made Cangyue and Jiang Yimo's hearts sink to the bottom, they knew that this meant a fierce conflict was about to break out.
Cang Yue frowned and said worriedly: "What should we do? The conflict between the three princes and Concubine Rou and Prince Kang seems to have intensified to an irreconcilable point. We must find a way to protect the emperor's safety."
Jiang Yimo nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she said calmly, "The evil king has already planted two spies outside the Yangxin Palace last night. If there is any emergency, they will report to us at any time. In this way, we can take timely countermeasures."
"Seventh brother is still the most thoughtful one." Cangyue breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
Then, she turned to look at Jiang Yimo and said with a firm look in her eyes: "No matter what happens, we must protect the emperor. Otherwise, the imperial city of Donglin Kingdom will usher in a palace riot."
Jiang Yimo held Cangyue's hand tightly and responded: "Don't worry, I will always be with you. We will definitely get through this difficult time."
At this time, the entire palace was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
All forces are secretly competing against each other, waiting for the final decisive battle.
Cangyue and Jiang Yimo are tasked with protecting the emperor, and they must do their best to ensure the emperor's safety.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo and Princess Cangyue prepared to go to the Yangxin Palace to protect the old emperor.
But this time they could no longer leave the palace.
For some reason, Concubine Rou had sent people to guard her residence.
"Princess, Concubine Rou has just issued an order that you are not allowed to leave the palace for the next few days." The guard said in a low voice.
Princess Cang Yue frowned: "I can go wherever I want, it's not your turn to control me!"
After saying this, Princess Cang Yue was about to force her way in.
At this time, a group of guards rushed out and stopped them.
"Princess, please don't make things difficult for me." said the captain of the guards.
Princess Cang Yue was so angry that her face turned blue: "You dogs and slaves, you dare to stop me? I will go ask my mother now and see how he will deal with you!"
The captain of the guards said helplessly: "Princess, calm down. You are not allowed to leave. This is the order of Concubine Rou. We are just following orders."
Princess Cang Yue glared at them angrily, but there was nothing she could do.
Jiang Yimo looked at the situation in front of her and thought to herself: It seems that Concubine Rou has noticed something, so we can't act rashly now.
