Chapter 155: Chapter 154: Furious (Bonus)
Feng Qing glared angrily at the man sleeping with eyes closed on the bed. Who was stealing the bed? Wasn’t it because he wouldn’t let her sleep and made her stand watch? If he let her sleep, would she need to fight with him for the bed?
"Prince, no need to add a couch, I might as well return to the Purple Bamboo Pavilion to sleep."
As Feng Qing finished speaking, Rong Ling slightly raised an eyebrow, not even bothering to open his eyes, and casually threw out a sentence.
"Is this how you promised to serve me well?"
Without saying another word, Feng Qing ground her teeth fiercely in the room, then went out and talked to Nan Feng about adding a couch.
Both inside and outside the Capital City, rumors quickly spread that the Little Emperor was planning to kill the donkey after the grinding is done. Not only did he take back the Regency from the Regent Prince, but he also wanted to reclaim the military power of the Capital Guard Camp, which had been assigned to the Prince Regent by the late Emperor.
In order to seize power, the Little Emperor even went against his father’s decree. Is someone so cold-blooded and ruthless worthy of being the Emperor of Dayan?
Because of this rumor, people began recalling the incidents of the past where Regent Prince Rong Ling was poisoned and assassinated, making them suspect that the poisoning and assassination were likely instigated by the Little Emperor.
If only a small number of people were doubtful before, now half of them are convinced that the Little Emperor was behind it.
During Rong Ling’s tenure as Regent King, Dayan was peaceful, and the people lived prosperous and harmonious lives. So regardless of the thoughts of those in power, many commoners are grateful for the benevolence of the Regent Prince.
Hence, once this news broke out, the Little Emperor’s reputation among the people plummeted, with everyone saying he was ungrateful and heartless.
In the palace, when the Little Emperor Rong Che received these reports, he was furious.
He is the Emperor of Dayan; taking back the government and military power is his right. These were originally his. How could they call him heartless, and ungrateful, when he’s just reclaiming what is his?
Who are these people? The more Rong Che thought about it, the angrier he became, smashing many objects in the palace.
While he was furiously venting his anger, the eunuch announced from outside the hall, "The Empress Dowager has arrived."
Rong Che stopped his actions of smashing things, glaring coldly at the outside of the hall. What is his mother doing here at this time, coming to scold him for his inappropriate actions?
But how could she understand his frustration? Clearly, everything in Dayan belongs to him, so why does he always have to be constrained by Rong Ling? As an emperor, why does he have to keep up a good face to appease a mere prince? His role as emperor was too humiliating, especially when he couldn’t even protect his own woman.
Rong Che heard from Han Moyao about Han Ziyan’s recent situation, knowing that Rong Ling doesn’t show any regard for Han Ziyan. On the day she entered his mansion, there wasn’t even a welcoming feast, and now he outright ignores her.
Rong Che heard Han Moyao say that Han Ziyan cried to him admitting her mistake.
Even though Rong Che was angry at Han Ziyan for her self-inflicted misery, clearly, he liked her. If she had entered the palace, he would have cherished her and made her the Imperial Concubine of Dayan.
But she was infatuated with the idea of entering Prince Yong Mansion, and now she’s suffering.
Although Rong Che felt a sense of satisfaction seeing her suffering, he also couldn’t bear it. He loved her, cared for her, yet Rong Ling treated her like this, why does Rong Ling dare to?
The more Rong Che thought about it, the angrier he became. The Empress Dowager walked in from outside, only to be greeted by a hall full of shattered valuable objects. The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, then walked over to Rong Che, saying, "What happened? Why such a big tantrum?"
