Chapter 490: Mother and son separated, crazy about love
However, the queen was not happy with all this.
She knew very well that the emperor had been changing and becoming more and more unfamiliar since he ascended the throne.
She also knew that she could never go back.
The man she loved seemed to be dead.
And her position is not so stable. If she doesn't change, she will soon be replaced by someone else. By then, she will really have nothing.
Her son was originally the eldest son, but he died young.
A beauty in the palace gave birth to the emperor's first prince after he ascended the throne.
Became the second prince.
However, the second prince was not very lucky and died shortly after he was born.
The beauty couldn't bear this kind of stimulation and went crazy.
The emperor ordered her to be sent to the cold palace.
The queen also successfully became pregnant with the third prince.
Then came the news that Concubine Luo was also pregnant with the fourth prince.
The Queen had damaged her health before, and even after a long period of recuperation, the Third Prince still had some defects in his body. Once he came into contact with something, he would develop very dangerous symptoms.
The symptoms don't seem like illness, but more like poisoning.
The queen then realized that her first son seemed to have the same condition, but she didn't understand it at the time and just thought the child was sick, which ended up costing the child's life.
She had always kept the Third Prince's situation a secret, and had taken careful care of him, raising him to this age.
She also fantasized that after the third prince was born, he would be loved by his father like his elder brother.
However, the emperor just glanced at the third prince indifferently and did not show much affection for him.
At that moment the Queen understood.
The Emperor already has something he likes better.
He fell in love with power.
"Queen, where did you get this tea?" the emperor asked softly.
"Your Majesty, I still keep the habit of making tea every year, but I no longer dare to bring it to Your Majesty for him to taste. Occasionally, I will take it out and drink it myself to recall the happy times that Your Majesty and I once had together."
The emperor put down his teacup and took the queen's hand.
"Queen, I have already said that you are my only wife in this life, and my only queen."
The queen smiled and leaned into the emperor's arms.
If she had not endured humiliation for so many years, not only had she managed the harem in an orderly manner, but she had also never been jealous and respected the Queen Mother. She would not have complained even when the Queen Mother rode on her head and acted tyrannically.
What excuse does the emperor have to depose her as queen?
Besides, after he deposed her, would he be able to find another woman as worry-free as him to manage his harem?
"Your Majesty, I know that the Third Prince is not very good and has not met your expectations. However, he is a filial child who loves his father. Now that he has done something wrong, can't he beg his father to give him a chance?"
"Empress, do you know what happened in the court today? Those court officials seemed to be respectful to me, but in fact, they had their own calculations in their hearts. I was exhausted from dealing with them. Today, the Rongguo Mansion was aggressive in front of the entire court. Did they take me seriously?"
"Prime Minister Qin flatly denied that such a thing had happened! They were arguing fiercely in the court. Queen, your worries are unnecessary. I am of course on the side of my son. Otherwise, why wouldn't I allow the Third Prince to attend court today?"
"Your Majesty, I know that you love the Third Prince." The Queen was moved.
She feels a little relieved now.
From the time she entered the palace until now, she has experienced many hardships.
There were several times when she wanted to reminisce the past with the emperor, but she held back.
She knew that this trick could only be used once.
And this was the only time the emperor was patient with her.
This time, she did not hesitate to use this trick. No matter what, she hoped that the emperor would love the third prince for once, as a way of making up to her.
As the emperor's poor first wife, the emperor certainly owes her.
I owe you a lot.
But she never mentioned it.
Because, once these debts were made up, the emperor would no longer owe her anything, and he could do anything to her with peace of mind!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Third Prince has arrived." Chao Sihai's voice came softly from outside.
"Let him in." The emperor replied.
The queen no longer had any worries in her heart.
She had bribed Chao Sihai, and when she brought the third prince over, she had her people meet the third prince first.
The third prince walked in and prepared to kneel again.
"No need to kneel. Haven't you kneeled enough after kneeling for a whole morning?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
The third prince was a little surprised.
In his memory, his father had never spoken to him in this tone? He also never dared to regard his father as his father.
"Why don't you thank your father quickly?" the Queen reminded immediately.
"Thank you, Father."
"What exactly is going on between you and Qin Yumo?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
The queen immediately winked at the third prince.
As long as the Third Prince speaks out what she asked the nanny to teach him, he will surely be able to impress the Emperor. Then, by slowly manipulating the situation, neither Rong Qingqing, the legal wife, nor Qin Yumo, the concubine, will be able to escape.
"Father, I have discovered that I really like Miss Qin, and I want to marry her." After the third prince said this, he knelt down.
The queen was completely stunned!
"You...what are you talking about? Your mother knows that you are kind-hearted. You are afraid that this matter will affect Miss Qin, so you are willing to take all the responsibilities. Didn't you tell your mother that the person you like is Rong Qingqing?" The queen reminded the third prince anxiously.
"Mother, I don't like Rong Qingqing. I didn't like him from the first time I saw him! Father, I am willing to marry Qin Yumo. I hope you can make it happen. I am willing to break off the engagement with the Duke of Rong's Mansion!"
After the third prince finished speaking, he kowtowed to the emperor continuously.
"You! Are you crazy?" The queen hurriedly grabbed the third prince!
But the third prince's attitude did not waver at all!
"Queen!" the emperor shouted, staring fiercely at the third prince who was kneeling in front of him.
"You have to think about this matter carefully. Once I agree to it, there will be no room for you to turn around!"
"Father, I have made up my mind!" The third prince's voice was louder than before.
The queen's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
She didn't even know what had happened and why the Third Prince was so determined to marry Qin Yumo regardless of the consequences!
In other words, this time, she didn't even understand why she lost!
She didn't know that when the third prince was kneeling outside the emperor's bedroom.
Someone secretly told the third prince about Qin Yumo's behavior outside the palace.
This made the third prince more grateful for Qin Yumo's love, and thus, he wanted to protect Qin Yumo even more.
If he admitted that he liked Rong Qingqing, the marriage would be as his mother wished, but what about Qin Yumo? Could the Rong family really let Qin Yumo marry him as a concubine?
What if Ji Chuhe wants to take action against Qin Yumo at that time?
