Chapter 1914 Pack It up and Throw It Out Together

Although the Empress Dowager has always wanted to have a luxurious and exquisite summer resort, she took the initiative to leave the palace to live there, which is completely different from the emperor expelling her.

There is an essential difference.

The Empress Dowager has been domineering in the harem all her life, how can she tolerate it?

In the end, she was kicked out of the palace in such disgrace?

It was said that the emperor fulfilled his filial piety and built a village for her to escape the summer heat.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows what the truth is.

What a shame.

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "If the Ai family doesn't go, the Ai family will be in the palace!"

"It's not up to you, old man." Zhao Yuanjing's tone was gentle and unquestionable, "Tomorrow, I will arrange everything and personally send you to the villa."

"You..." The Empress Dowager pointed at him, her fingers trembling slightly, "Yuan Jing, how dare you do this to the Ai family?"

"You are an elder, but you use deceitful means to harm your grandson-in-law. How dare you do that?"

Zhao Yuanjing stood up, straightened the hem of his clothes, and said: "I was still very busy in the past. Grandma Huang went back to have a good rest. She will have to ride a carriage for a long time tomorrow, so she will inevitably be tired."

After saying that, he turned his eyes coldly and left.

His decision shocked a lot of people.

As an emperor, his methods are considered ruthless.

He mercilessly threw the imperial grandmother who had raised him out of the palace, letting her go to Zhuluo Villa to retire.

This scares many people.

After three years on the throne, this emperor has completely transformed into a real emperor.

He is cold, he is decisive, and he shows no mercy.

That night, the Empress Dowager did not sleep, but kept asking people to contact old clan officials with whom she had good relations, hoping to put pressure on the emperor through them and prevent herself from being sent away.

She promised them benefits, and they were willing to oblige.

However, when these clan ministers walked out of their homes early the next morning, they found a row of royal guards standing outside wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives on their waists.

The guards stood in the misty morning light, swearing that a faint layer of misty beads had fallen on them.

Apparently they had been standing here for a long time.

Their faces were expressionless, their backs straight, and their figures not swaying at all.

Like a statue in the mist.

This scene appeared at the doorsteps of all the clan members contacted by the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager stayed up almost all night, waiting anxiously in Ci'an Palace.

However, until it was three o'clock in the morning, no one came to see her.

Those noble clan members who promised well yesterday have all broken their promises today.

The longer the Queen Mother waited, the colder her heart became, and the longer she waited, the more angry she became.

Finally the emperor and his chariots and horses arrived.

In the decades since the day she entered the palace, the Empress Dowager has never felt so isolated and helpless as she did today, even when King Cheng rebelled.

Speaking of filial piety, the emperor was still filial. He brought all the eunuchs, maids and nuns serving in Ci'an Palace with him.

In order to make it customary for the Empress Dowager to live there, she also brought everything she could carry in Ci'an Palace.

Among the civil and military ministers, who would not praise the emperor for his filial piety?

But the Empress Dowager felt aggrieved.

By doing this, the emperor simply packed up the entire Ci'an Palace and threw it out together!

I don’t intend to let her come back!

The Queen Mother did not want to leave at all.

Once she left, she was completely far away from the Kyoto palace and the power of the court. She couldn't reach anything and became a lonely old woman enjoying a happy life.

Did she work so hard for so many years just to retire at Zhuluo Villa?
