Heavenly Divine Doctor: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 462: Drunk and Wailing (1)

“Thank you, Imperial Mother.” The corners of Mo Rongzhan’s lips rose high in elation. He had known for a long time that as long as he wanted it, Empress Dowager would not stop him.

Empress Dowager did not reply, unwilling to even look at him at the moment as she put away all the jewelry on the table.

Not minding it, Mo Rongzhan left Cining Palace happily.

When he came across Mo Rongyi in the imperial garden, he frowned and stopped to call his younger brother, who was trying to avoid him. “Ah Yi, where are you going?”

“Brother Emperor, I… I am thinking of going back to the prince’s quarters,” Mo Rongyi said with a forced smile on his face.

“Is this the way back to the prince’s quarters?” Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. “Do you need a sign that says this is the way to your Imperial Mother’s palace?”

Mo Rongyi’s eyes were widened into a circle as he stared at his elder brother in shock. How does Brother Emperor know what he is going to do? “Brother Emperor, I… I need to get out of the palace right away. I’ll be right back.”

“Want to find Yaoyao?” Mo Rongzhan looked at the little boy faintly. He still couldn’t see what his younger brother was thinking, but he knew what to do as soon as his tails turned up. “Don’t say a word to her about the marriage that Imperial Mother is planning to bestow to her.”

“Brother Emperor, why?” Mo Rongyi looked at his elder brother standing in front of him. Could it be that what Eunuch Fu said is true? Brother Emperor really and truly… likes Yaoyao?

Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly and asked, “Do you rather prefer Yaoyao becomes someone else’s wife, or would you rather she becomes your sister-in-law?”

"In the future, she will only be Empress, not Marquis's wife."

Those were the emperor’s words. There was no unnecessary reprimand, and there was no other threat. Just one sentence was enough to make him lose all his ability to speak.

Tang Zhen left the palace in a daze. Although he had known the outcome, he still felt he should fight lest he regrets in the future. But now, he finally had his answer… The reason the emperor had rushed to save Yaoyao, disregarding his own life, was not because he lusted over her beauty… nor was it an act of impulse… It was because Yaoyao dwelled in a deep place in his heart, deeper than his own.

Even if he were to lose, he was still willing.

However, a slight pain still lingered in his heart. As such, he found a tavern and doused himself in the strongest alcohol. Thinking that he would be fine if he was drunk for a while and would be able to relax once he woke up.
