Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I heard that the emperor has summoned you to serve him. Son! Are you alright?” Grabbing Prince Anyang’s hand, the Imperial Consort looked nervous.
Prince Anyang’s heart warmed, and then a smile appeared on his face.
“I’m fine.” As he spoke, he brought the Imperial Consort into the hall.
“Why did he summon you?” The Imperial Consort asked again.
She had been married to the Emperor for many years and knew how ruthless and vicious he was.
Today, his son had not been conferred the title of Crown Prince. Instead, he had been arranged to serve the sick.
She was afraid that the Emperor had already found out something and wanted to take the opportunity to attack her son.
Fortunately, her son came out alive.
Prince Anyang looked at the Imperial Consort.
He did not answer immediately. Instead, he brought the Imperial Consort back to the hall and asked her to sit.
Then, he sat down on the chair beside her.
Then, he looked at the palace servants who had followed him in.
“All of you may leave.” He said in a deep voice.
After the workers left, Prince Anyang looked at the Imperial Consort who was looking at him with a worried expression.
He reached out and grabbed her hand.
“Don’t worry, mother.”
“Father only wants to accept my filial piety. He has no other intentions.”
The Imperial Consort’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Him? He wants to accept your filial piety?”
“Come on, I might believe it if it was someone else.” She pulled her hand back.
“Tell me, what did the Emperor say to you when he saw you alone? What is he planning now?” The Imperial Consort looked straight at Prince Anyang.
At the same time, she unconsciously squeezed his hand.
He was afraid that Emperor Yan had already found out about what he had done.
Meanwhile, Emperor Yan had already prepared a big move and was ready to deal with the mother and son.
Prince Anyang looked at his mother and reached out to pinch her arms.
“I’m really fine.”
After hesitating for a moment, he told her about the situation.
“Father has already promised to make your son the Crown Prince. However, he has three conditions.”
The Imperial Consort was shocked.
“W-what condition?” She was pleasantly surprised.
Prince Anyang hesitated again, then looked straight at his mother.
“Do you really want your son to ascend that position?”
His mother and him had different feelings. Perhaps she was using him, but he could feel his mother’s feelings for him.
The Imperial Consort was stunned.
Then, she nodded.
Her expression was a little strange.
What was his son asking? Of course, she wanted to. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had to plan so carefully for him all these years.
“Then what if…we have to sacrifice the Yin family?” Prince Anyang looked straight at the Imperial Consort, not wanting to miss her reaction.
The Imperial Consort’s eyes looked shocked, and she subconsciously let go of Prince Anyang.
Then, she quickly regained her senses.
“Son, what-what does this mean?” A sense of panic rose in her chest.
Prince Anyang took in her reaction and sighed in his heart. Some of his father’s guesses were indeed true.
“If you had to choose between me and the Yin family. Will you choose your son?” Prince Anyang did not answer her but asked.
The Imperial Consort’s expression changed again. The color of blood disappeared and she was even a little pale.
She pushed away Prince Anyang’s arm and supported her head with one hand as she leaned against the table at the side.
At this moment, Prince Anyang did not go forward to show concern for the Imperial Consort. Instead, he continued to look at her, waiting for an answer.
After a long while, the Imperial Consort finally put down her arm and turned her head.
“Must I choose?” She stared at Prince Anyang and asked.
“Yes.” Prince Anyang nodded firmly.
“I choose you.” Then, she quickly said. Her voice was very heavy, but it was exceptionally firm.
Prince Anyang’s eyes flashed.
He immediately supported her.
“Mother…” His tone was filled with excitement and joy.
The Imperial Consort sat up properly again and reached out to wave away the arm that was supporting her away.
“What did your father say to you?”
The smile on Prince Anyang’s face also disappeared as he told the truth.
“Father agreed to pass the throne to me, but he was worried that I would be held hostage by my relatives after I succeeded the throne.”
Prince Anyang carefully looked at his mother. Seeing that his mother did not have any reaction, he continued. “Father asked me to agree to suppress and clean up some of the Yin family’s forces after I succeed the throne.”
Seeing that the Imperial Consort was about to speak, Prince Anyang hurriedly added, “also, he allows you to become the Empress Dowager. He has no intention of dealing with you.”
The Imperial Consort turned her head to look at the Prince Anyang and then sighed.
“Is that all?” She asked.
“Yes, that’s all.” Prince Anyang hurriedly replied.
Th Imperial Consort finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Then do as your father says. He may not be a good father, but he wants to be a good emperor.” Even though he didn’t do it well.
Prince Anyang’s face lit up.
“Yes!” He hurriedly bowed to the Imperial Consort.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he would definitely be different from his father in the future..
