“Later on, why did you go back on your word? Isn’t it because Lin Zizi’s family was not as powerful as Empress’s? Did they have the strength to ensure Your Majesty’s position?”

“Silence!”

The Emperor scowled and shouted angrily, “These years, I have indulged you too much, allowing you to act recklessly and say whatever you want!”

“I haven’t spoken this outside.” Concubine Jin did not care about the Emperor’s anger and continued with an unhurried tone, “Since you owe someone the position of Empress, won’t you even satisfy a small wish of theirs now?”

The Emperor coldly replied, “I owe her the position of Empress, so I want to give this position to her daughter!”

“Oh, so that’s why Your Majesty plotted against that young lady, forcing her to marry Prince of Yu before marriage? Your Majesty is quite selfish. You only satisfy your own wishes and never consider that girl’s thoughts from the Jiang Family, whether she is willing to marry the Prince of Yu or not?”

“Prince of Yu is of noble birth, who would not want to marry him?”

“Prince of Yu is not gold, not everyone loves him. Now isn’t she determined to divorce him?”

“All spoiled!”

“Nobody spoils her. She is just too similar to Your Majesty, doing anything for the Emperor, even giving up the woman she loves the most.”

“Have you said enough!”

The Emperor raised his hand and smashed her cup.

Concubine Jin silently looked at the broken cup, no longer speaking, but a hint of mockery and coldness flashed in her eyes.

She saw through the indifference and selfishness of the royal family and was tired of it.

Her son, inheriting the Emperor’s coldness and selfishness, deserves his current fate.

In the past, Lin Zizi could not be the Empress and married someone else very soon.

Unable to be the Empress, she would never become the concubine of the Emperor.

Both mother and daughter would rather remain whole as bricks than broken as jade.

The Emperor left with a flick of his sleeve.

Concubine Jin stood up and lazily said, “Farewell, Your Majesty.”

Then she sat down again.

The palace maid came in, tidying up the broken teacup on the floor, tremblingly saying, “It’s been many years since His Majesty has been this angry with Concubine Jin.”

“Indeed.”

Concubine Jin did not care much.

Not long after, the palace maid came in, “Your Highness, Prince of Yu is here.”

“Oh, let him in.”

Li Hongyuan strode in.

Concubine Jin glanced at him and laughed, “When you and your father arrived today, the expressions on your faces were exactly the same. It seems that the young lady from the Jiang Family wanting to divorce you has really upset you.”

“Even concubine mother knows about it.”

“Even if I don’t want to know, many people would like me to know.”

That was true.

Prince of Yu was her son; any slight movement on his side could easily reach her ears.

Moreover, Prince of Huai was still imprisoned, and Concubine Xian was watching like a tiger, always looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Li Hongyuan sat down, frowning.

Concubine Jin pushed over the teacup that the palace maid had just brought, “Drink some water and see the color of your face.”

“Concubine mother, I heard that Prime Minister Jiang’s wife has entered the palace for an audience.”

“Yes, she asked the Emperor for permission for Jiang Ning to divorce you.”

“Did Emperor Father agree?”

“Your father can’t refuse Lin Zizi’s request.” Concubine Jin sneered coldly, “After all, he owes her a lot. But now he wants to…”

She did not continue.

Li Hongyuan did not ask further either.

The affairs of the past, as the Emperor’s biological son, he knew more or less.

If it were not for knowing the Emperor’s affections towards Lin Zizi, he would not have agreed to marry Lin Zizi’s daughter.

Speaking of which, it was quite ridiculous..
