Chapter 1241 Prince Li’s Extra Chapter The Obsession Has Been Broken

“Is she doing well these years?” Murong Zheng asked softly, his voice full of nervousness. He stared at the eldest prince, fearing that he would not get the answer he wanted.

Human hearts are such strange things. When they thought she was bad, they put her into an iceberg and could not tolerate others saying the slightest good about her. But when they thought she was good, they hoped that she would be well forever.

He and the Royal Grandmother had not met for thirteen years.

In these thirteen years, they were separated by mountains and seas, and he had never paid attention to the news of the Royal Grandmother.

He only knew that she would often send people to visit the eldest prince and the third prince, and would care about their schoolwork.

The eldest prince looked at his father and said calmly: “Back then, the Empress Dowager devoted all her energy to you, and left in order not to let the rift between you grow. Although she has a free and easy temperament, but..., in these years, my third brother and I have corresponded with her, and she has never mentioned you.”

This was not the answer Murong Zheng wanted, but the eldest prince said it without any hesitation.

He felt that his father should know how difficult and bitter the Empress Dowager had been in these years. If he was not really hurt, why would he not ask a question all these years?

Murong Zheng did not speak again. The Empress Dowager's appearance when she left kept replaying in his mind. She smiled like the sun, but the deep disappointment in her eyes made him feel heartbroken when he thought about it now.

Why was he bewitched by Dong, why...

"Is she okay, all these years?" It was still the question he had asked before, and at this moment, it was also the question he was most concerned about. He just wanted to know if she was okay. As long as she was okay, he felt that he still had a chance to show filial piety and make up for the debts he owed all these years.

"Whether it's good or bad, I'm afraid she won't want to come back. My grandfather said that what the Empress Dowager hated most was the high palace walls, which were too restrictive. She was willing to confine herself to the palace walls for the former Regent King Qingtian and for the country of our Great Zhou."

"Because he knew that the Empress Dowager had given up too much for the country of our Great Zhou, my grandfather respected her more."

The eldest prince said this calmly. This was a fact he had seen clearly many years ago. Even though he was still a child back then, his father couldn't understand it. He felt that the Empress Dowager was interested in the power in his hands, so when someone instigated him, he and the Empress Dowager had a rift.

"I know all this. You go back first."

When everything that happened more than a decade ago was presented to Murong Zheng, he really didn't know how to face his son.

The truth that even a child could see, but because of his own paranoia, he missed more than a decade.

If the Empress Dowager hadn't completely given up on herself, this time, the Dong family rebellion would have been the rebellion of the Great Zhou.

"Father, if you protect Dong again this time, the ancestors will be disappointed, and my mother, brothers and sisters will also..."

The eldest prince was deeply taught by the queen and was the most honest person. Even though his father had disappointed him to the core, he still couldn't say the heartless words.

However, he was really worried that his father would give Dong a break. If that happened, his father would really be hopeless.

The queen mother always said that his father doted on Dong because of Dong's obsession.

But this obsession endangered the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Father..." Murong Zheng was reluctant to leave. He was really worried that his father would get deeper and deeper into his obsession.

He didn't know that before he came, his father's obsession had been shattered into dust as the truth was revealed.

"I know the painstaking efforts of the Empress Dowager." This sentence made the eldest prince's hanging heart fall to the ground.

He turned and left. The sun's light outside shone into his father's bedroom, bright and brilliant, without any haze.
