The emperor was so angry at her unreasonable words that his face turned blue and he almost vomited blood.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hai quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and sent Concubine Yao away.

After leaving the palace, Concubine Yao was still furious. Since the emperor was unwilling to make a decision for her son, she would avenge him herself.

Jiang Hai returned to the palace and hurriedly brought a cup of calming tea to the emperor. He gently advised, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Dowager is just outspoken. Don't be too angry. Take care of your health!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "She's becoming more and more rude. If it weren't for the fact that she helped me a few times back then, how could I tolerate her until now?"

Jiang Hai lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

"What has Concubine De been doing recently?"

"Your Majesty, Consort De has been at Jin'an Palace."

"She seems to be at ease. Go and summon her to the court."

Soon, Concubine De arrived.

The emperor saw her kneeling in the hall, her posture cold and her eyes devoid of anyone else.

It was still so disgusting. He hated her expression the most, and her son also had the same expression.

The emperor didn't let her stand up, nor did he say anything, just let her kneel there.

There was a hint of sneer on Concubine De's lips. She had known about Concubine Yao's entry into the palace for a long time, and she also guessed why the emperor summoned her.

She glanced at the person above, and an indescribable feeling of nausea welled up in her heart. However, it was all about to end, and she would never have to see this disgusting face again.

After a long while, the emperor finally spoke, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Concubine De raised her head slightly and said, "I don't know."

"Don't know? What a fool you are!" The emperor slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Concubine De and angrily shouted, "You are a bad parent. Look at the good son you raised. How dare he harm the prince!"

Concubine De's expression remained unchanged. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I wonder which county prince Prince Su has harmed?"

The emperor was choking with anger, unable to name which prince Chu Jinghuai had harmed. In the end, he could only pick out a few insignificant incidents and punish Concubine De to vent his anger.

Back at Jin'an Palace, the nanny beside Concubine De whispered, "The Emperor is becoming increasingly incompetent as he ages. Even in this freezing cold weather, he's still cutting back on Jin'an Palace expenses. I'm afraid this winter will be tough."

"After enduring so many years, this one chance is not a big deal. Go and announce that Princess Su is coming to the palace."
