Chapter 38: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket and Empty Game
Seeing the queen crying so hard, the nanny said quickly, "Queen, please stop crying. Only the Queen Mother can stop the prince from leaving the palace now."
The Queen wiped the tears from her cheeks after hearing this. "Yes, the Queen Mother is the only one who can listen to the Emperor. I will go and beg my aunt. No matter what, Ling'er is her grandson. She will not ignore him."
The queen and her men hurried to the empress dowager's palace.
The Empress Dowager also learned that Prime Minister Huo had angered the Emperor by sending his two granddaughters into the palace, and the Emperor took his anger out on the Crown Prince.
She sighed deeply and said, "I warned my brother last time, but he still didn't listen. Now the emperor is taking his anger out on the crown prince, making an example of him to warn others."
The nanny asked cautiously: "Empress Dowager, what are you going to do?"
The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said, "I can no longer control this matter, nor do I wish to. The Emperor has his own opinions. Brother, if you refuse to submit to others, it will be too late to regret it when the Emperor takes ruthless action."
"The Huo family is now the top family in the entire capital, and he is still so greedy? I really have no words to say."
"When the Emperor first ascended the throne, my brother was an assistant minister. Now that the Emperor has grown stronger and has taken sole control of the government, he has dispersed power among the various aristocratic families, much to his dissatisfaction."
"He's now focused on the harem, but the emperor is already wary of his brother. The emperor's anger at the crown prince is telling his brother that he would rather depose the crown prince than let the Huo family girl become the crown princess or the future queen."
At this time, the Queen came in and knelt down before the Queen Mother, begging with tears in her eyes, "Aunt, please save Ling'er! He is your grandson!"
"As long as you plead for the prince, the emperor will definitely keep him in the capital."
"The Emperor claims to be understanding the people's sentiments, but in reality he is leaving the Crown Prince to fend for himself. You cannot ignore his life or death."
The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly. "The Queen is indeed too soft-hearted. The Crown Prince is the Emperor's own son. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. The Emperor has his own opinion on this matter. I cannot interfere."
The Queen burst into tears: "But Ling'er is the crown prince after all. What if something happens when she's away from home?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Majesty, there are reasons for doing this. Moreover, the Huo family is now powerful. If we marry into the royal family again, we may worry about the monopoly of power by the relatives of the emperor."
"Auntie, do you really not care about Ling'er anymore?
Although the Queen Mother felt reluctant, she still said firmly: "The Emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and I am powerless to do anything."
The queen collapsed to the ground in despair, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion received the emperor's imperial edict. Prime Minister Huo and his entire family knelt down to receive the edict. When he heard that his carefully trained granddaughter had been taken into the emperor's harem as a concubine, he was immediately filled with anger.
After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, Prime Minister Huo had not yet accepted it. The eunuch reminded him: "Prime Minister Huo, please accept it! You should be happy. The Huo family has two more imperial concubines. It is an honor for the Huo family, and you haven't thanked them yet."
Prime Minister Huo gritted his teeth and accepted the order to express his gratitude.
After his father-in-law left, Prime Minister Huo was furious and smashed a lot of things but still couldn't feel relieved.
He stood still and roared, "The Emperor knew my intentions, so he took them into the harem as concubines, hoping to stop me. He's dreaming... dreaming."
At this time, the housekeeper came in and reported: "Prime Minister, the Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to leave the palace to observe the people's sentiments, or to go on a private visit in disguise."
"Has the prince left? How many people did he bring with him? Did he say when he would return to the palace?"
"The prince left with two personal guards. The emperor didn't say when he would return to the palace."
"Quickly send someone to follow and protect the prince. If anything happens to the prince, our Huo family will really have no future."
"Yes."
"Master, send a message to the Queen Mother to inquire about the situation."
At this time, the housekeeper came to report again: "Prime Minister, the Queen Mother and the Empress sent someone to pass on a message."
"What did they say?"
"Please, Lord Prime Minister, do not interfere in the affairs of the harem. If you anger the Emperor, he could really depose the Crown Prince and Empress. It would be too late to regret it then."
Prime Minister Huo took a few steps back and slumped into his chair, muttering to himself, "I've racked my brains for the Huo family and the emperor my entire life, doing everything I should and shouldn't have done, and in the end, it all seems to be wrong."
His stomach churned, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted on the spot.
Mrs. Huo shouted: "Master...Master...call the doctor..."
Everyone was in chaos. Some rushed to call for a doctor, while others hurriedly carried him back to the room.
Mrs. Huo anxiously stood by the bed, tears streaming down her face, silently praying that Prime Minister Huo would be safe.
After a while, the doctor came hurriedly and took the patient's pulse carefully.
Mrs. Huo asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is the master's health?"
"Prime Minister, this is due to a sudden attack of anger, causing you to vomit blood and faint. I will prescribe some medicine to slowly recuperate your body so that it can recover. I also want to instruct you not to get angry, otherwise your body will definitely not be able to bear it."
"Thank you, doctor. The housekeeper will send someone to get the medicine with the doctor."
"Yes."
Mrs. Huo sat by the bed and looked at the pale Prime Minister Huo. She burst into tears and said, "Master, you have worked hard for the Huo family and the emperor all your life. It's time to take a rest. Don't worry too much when you are well."
Mrs. Huo sat by the bed and muttered to Prime Minister Huo.
