Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 370

The emperor hesitated for a long time, but reason prevailed, and he hardened his heart.

He flatly refused: "No, I sent Song Yong to the south hoping that my imperial aunt could calm down on her own and not be so heartbroken over Song Yong. But looking at you now, it's clear that you haven't made any progress. In that case, I can't recall him."

With Song Yong away, no matter how jealous Princess Pingkang was, her jealousy had nowhere to burn.

If Song Yong were to return, who knows if Princess Pingkang would revert to her old ways and start harming people in secret again?

The emperor originally wanted to get rid of Song Yong directly, but he was afraid that the Grand Princess Pingkang would be too shocked and might commit suicide with him, so he did not dare to go to extremes.

He planned to let Song Yong stay in the south for ten or eight years, until Princess Pingkang could let him go, and only then could he return; if he could never let go, then he should never come back.

Having said that, the emperor, not wanting to listen to Princess Pingkang's continued entreaties and pleas, waved his hand.

"Alright, that's settled. Someone, escort the Grand Princess out."

He was still preoccupied with Chu Jinxun's prison break and didn't have time to waste with Princess Pingkang.

Princess Pingkang opened her eyes wide in disbelief, but before she could speak, two palace servants walked up to her from the left and right, as if to make her leave immediately.

The emperor had already turned away and was no longer paying attention to her.

Princess Pingkang felt as if her chest was about to burst. She took several deep breaths, but she still couldn't suppress the raging anger.

She had already gone to such lengths; when the emperor ordered her to stay at home, she truly remained secluded, living a life of austerity like a nun, enduring humiliation and hardship. She ate vegetarian food for those lowly people for two months, copied dozens of Buddhist scriptures, and offered them countless incense offerings...

All of this was done so that the emperor would release Song Yong and bring him back!

As a result, the emperor didn't even grant her this one and only request!

Moreover, according to the emperor's words, Song Yong is to remain in the south forever!

Princess Pingkang had no way of contacting Song Yong, not even exchanging a single letter. She didn't know how Song Yong was doing in the south, whether he was sick, or suffering...

It could be said that even when Song Yong died in the south, she didn't know when she would receive the news.

Princess Pingkang was consumed by thoughts of Song Yong, so much so that her internal organs ached. She could not bear this torment any longer.

However, she was not completely irrational; even if she had great dissatisfaction, she dared not vent it in front of the emperor.

She knew that her current position was only due to her noble birth and the lingering influence of the late emperor. She held no real power and had no leverage to negotiate with the emperor.

As long as the emperor remains on the throne, she will be suppressed and will never be able to bring Song Yong back.

Princess Pingkang clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves and retreated without uttering a sound.

When she reached the door of the Imperial Study, her gaze had completely changed.

As if he had made a desperate, all-or-nothing decision, his eyes burned with a mad and resolute flame, and a gradually rising murderous intent.

Since the emperor won't let Song Yong return, then let's get a new emperor!

For Song Yong, she was willing to do even the most outrageous things, like murdering the emperor and usurping the throne!
