Chapter 174 Consort Fucha
The big orange cat turned around, its eyes filled with disappointment and anger.
"For his sake, you are willing to sacrifice my child and disrupt the harem."
His words struck the Empress Dowager's heart like a heavy hammer.
Every word revealed his inner pain and disappointment.
The Empress Dowager knew in her heart that this time, her relationship with the Emperor as mother and son might be over.
I just hope the emperor won't be angry with the fourteenth prince; she was the one who did all these things.
He had nothing to do with the Fourteenth Prince, and he was unaware of it.
Big Fat Orange continued, "But have you ever thought about whether the fourteenth prince is really suitable to sit on this throne?"
He had a lot of enthusiasm, but he knew nothing about governing a country.
If he were to truly ascend the throne, what would become of the Qing Dynasty?
His tone grew increasingly heavy, and the chubby orange cat questioned himself about all the years he had devoted himself to the Qing Dynasty.
He gradually resolved the mess left by his father, the Emperor.
He worked tirelessly, day and night, only to be hampered by the Empress Dowager and her ilk.
How could the big fat orange not feel heartbroken?
The Empress Dowager's lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she was unable to clearly express her thoughts.
She wanted to plead for Fourteenth Prince.
Looking at the Empress Dowager's appearance, Big Fat Orange felt a pang of pity, but more than that, he felt an unyielding resentment.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Enough, Your Majesty, there's no point in saying anything now."
The fourteenth prince has always opposed me; I simply sent him to guard the imperial palace.
This is already an exceptional favor shown to him because he shares the same mother as me.
Empress Dowager, are you still not satisfied? Time and again you've helped that wicked woman Yixiu harm my children and suppress the concubines in the harem.
I have given you chances time and time again, yet you still refuse to behave yourselves.
Since my mother-in-law is so heartless towards me, I will no longer be soft-hearted.
The children I lost over the years, including Lingxi and Hongzhan, can be compensated with the children of the Fourteenth Prince.
"This is all because you, Empress Dowager, forced me to do it."
He came from the struggle for the throne and has never been one to hold back.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's eyes filled with terror.
It struggled more and more violently, letting out desperate whimpers.
"No, no!" The Empress Dowager's eyes widened in horror.
The chubby orange cat remained unmoved, its eyes cold and resolute.
"Empress Mother, your current struggles..."
You have helped that heartless woman, Yixiu, time and time again.
They harmed my own flesh and blood and suppressed the other concubines in the harem.
I have been incredibly tolerant of you and Yixiu, giving you countless opportunities to repent and reform.
Yet you still show no restraint and continue to act so recklessly!
Since Your Majesty is so cold and ruthless towards me, then I will never be merciful again.
The children I have lost over the years, including Lingxi and Hongzhan, must be repaid with the offspring of the Fourteenth Prince!
Uya and Ulanara clans can't escape either.
I didn't want to be so ruthless.
All of this was forced upon me by Your Majesty!
He had come through the struggle for the throne; if it weren't for his birth mother, the Empress Dowager...
How can someone always be so soft-hearted?
Upon hearing these words, the Empress Dowager's eyes widened, and the veins on her forehead bulged.
His eyes were filled with terror.
She never expected the emperor to be so ruthless this time.
She struggled desperately, her body trembling uncontrollably, uttering wave after wave of desperate sobs.
"No, no!"
The Empress Dowager tried her best but could only utter a few unclear syllables.
The chubby orange remained unmoved by the Empress Dowager's pleas; his eyes were cold and resolute, devoid of any pity.
"Your Majesty, why are you struggling so hard?"
In fact, you should have foreseen this outcome long ago, when you allowed that wicked woman Yixiu to plot against my offspring.
I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it at all!
The fat orange-faced man spoke coldly, his expression ashen.
The Empress Dowager let out a muffled plea for mercy, a sound that was so pitiful and helpless.
Her hands flailed wildly in the air, as if trying to grasp at the last glimmer of hope.
She suffered in Huangling at the age of fourteen.
Hongjiao's children had already suffered serious injuries a few years ago.
Having barely escaped with their lives, the emperor still intends to harm them.
How ruthless! The Uya family and the Ulanara family are her maternal families.
It was indeed taught by that vile woman from the Tongjia clan; she has no humanity whatsoever.
Ungrateful wretch, unfilial son.
Looking at the Empress Dowager's appearance, the chubby orange cat felt a mix of emotions.
There was anger, heartache, and a hint of pleasure.
Over the years, he had longed for even a little bit of maternal love from the Empress Dowager.
They turned a blind eye to many things concerning the Yixiu Wuya family and the Ulanara family.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager was ungrateful, and the Uya and Ulanara families even tried to push their luck.
Neither family had any capable people, yet they still wanted high-ranking positions and generous salaries.
He found it utterly repulsive.
Big Fat Orange's eyes hardened again as he thought of the children who had died young.
"I originally intended to give you some face, but your actions have truly disheartened me."
Big Fat Orange took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"From this day forward, the expenses of Shou Kang Palace will be halved."
I will also investigate the deeds of the Uya family and the Ulanara clan over the years.
Those who deserve punishment should be punished, and those who deserve execution should be executed.
After saying that, the chubby orange turned to leave.
The Empress Dowager became even more agitated upon hearing this.
The fourteenth prince and her family were the things she cared about most in her life.
"no no……"
The Empress Dowager cried out with all her might, but because she could not speak, she could only utter broken and desperate syllables.
She stretched out her withered hand, trying to grab the hem of the big orange shirt, but the distance was too far, and she could only wave it in vain in the air.
The chubby orange cat paused, but didn't turn around, only coldly saying:
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
At this moment, Zhu Xi heard the noise, couldn't help but push open the door, kneel on the ground, and beg:
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager was just confused for a moment. She is old, so you don't need to hold it against her."
Big Fatty Orange's attention immediately fell on Zhu Xi; the Empress Dowager had been bedridden for the past few years.
All of those things were arranged by Zhu Xi, which made Da Pang Ju want to kill Zhu Xi.
But considering that the Empress Dowager was difficult to serve, they decided to spare her life.
"Hmph, a moment of confusion? She's been confused for so many years, I've already been more than merciful."
The chubby orange cat stared coldly at Zhu Xi.
"I will spare your life for now. You must serve the Empress Dowager well."
If the Empress Dowager harbors any further inappropriate thoughts, you can forget about living.
Zhu Xi trembled with fear and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will certainly serve the Empress Dowager well and would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts."
The chubby orange cat turned and left.
The Empress Dowager watched helplessly as the fat orange cat left, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Zhu Xi quickly took a pill from the lotus and fed it to the Empress Dowager.
He muttered to himself, "I can't die now."
The master did not say that the Empress Dowager could die, therefore the Empress Dowager could not die.
Death is the end of everything, but it's not that easy.
