Chapter 1229: Prince Li’s Extra: A Dead End

Because the young eunuch came and went in and out of the palace, the people guarding outside the palace already knew that the emperor was probably awake, but for some reason, it was not disclosed to the public.

After living in the harem for many years, no one is stupid. After looking at each other tacitly, they continued to kneel and stay there, looking concerned and nervous.

Everyone wanted to let the emperor know that they cared about him the most. Only Murong Kai, after watching the little eunuch from Qingliang Palace leave, motioned to the person pushing the wheelchair behind him to take him away.

Murong Kai went to the queen's palace and walked in without letting anyone know.

The queen was sitting in a chair, lost in thought. Even her rich and luxurious clothes could not hide the desolation around her. She was like a wild goose in the silent late autumn, lonely, lonely, and desolate.

"Mother." Murong Kai spoke in a low voice. When the queen heard this, she was startled, quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, then stood up, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

The transition between sadness and joy was so quick that Murong Kai felt inexplicably distressed as he watched it.

There were too many people wearing masks in this deep palace, but the queen was always sincere and loving towards her, but behind her gentle smile, there was more loneliness and sadness.

"Father is awake." Murong Kai said softly.

"I know."

"While my mother was in coma, my father stayed with me day and night. At this time, my mother should be by my father's side."

Murong Kai's tone was calm, as if he was just stating an objective fact. But the queen understood that he was thinking about herself.

The emperor was seriously ill, and as the queen, she had to stay by his side. The emperor had expressed his deep love for her before, so she couldn't be too ruthless.

She also knew it, but she felt very sad when she thought that it was Concubine Dong Guifei that he wanted to protect when he woke up.

Although she had gone through years of suffering, she always felt like she couldn't bear it anymore.

"My mother doesn't think about herself, she also has to think about the eldest brother of the emperor. Not long ago, Concubine Dong's people went to the palace to convey the imperial decree, and the emperor appointed his fourth brother as the crown prince."

"Your father is not so confused."

The queen spoke very confidently, but after she finished speaking, she carefully understood the meaning of Murong Kai's words, which was that Murong Jie had been made the crown prince.

"Akai, have you sent a message to the Queen Mother?" If the Emperor really insists on acting recklessly, the only one who can change this outcome at this moment is the Queen Mother.

"When the father wakes up, there is no need to send a message to the Queen Mother. Of course, the premise is that the father and the queen mother..."

Before Murong Kai finished speaking, he looked at the queen. He believed that the queen understood what he meant.

"No matter how deep the resentment the Queen Mother has against the Emperor Father, she has endured it for so many years. At this moment, when the eldest brother of the Emperor ascends to the position of Crown Prince, the Queen Mother will no longer have any worries. How about the relationship between you and the Emperor Father? We are children. I will never say anything.”

Seeing the loneliness in the queen's eyes, Murong Kai finally couldn't help but persuade her.

There was no need for him to say these words. The Queen was the most intelligent and naturally knew when to do something. However, at the most critical moment, the Queen Mother was a little...

"Queen Mother, we can use this matter to put Dong to death." Murong Kai reminded softly.

"Your father wouldn't do it."

Murong Kai was shocked by the Queen's firm words. She was trying to kill the king, falsely conveying imperial edicts, and everything else was a dead end. Even if her father dotes on her, he might not be able to save her life.

"My father insists on acting recklessly, and the courtiers will not agree to it. Here in the harem, Queen Mother, you... If you can't punish the Dong family this time, then there will be no peace in the palace in the future."

The queen knew that Murong Kai's words were definitely not alarmist. If Dong could escape this time, he would only become more lawless in the future.
