Mu Junyao was like a boneless lump of meat, being dragged along by the guards.
Just as we arrived at the entrance of the prince's residence.
He suddenly grabbed the door frame with both hands, turned his head, and looked at the governess on the ground.
Undeterred, Mu Junyao asked, "Was everything you just said true?"
The governess glanced at Wu Jixiang, and seeing that he didn't turn his head but was staring intently at Mu Junyao, she slowly nodded.
The moment Mu Junyao stepped out of the palace gate.
Lan Xi rushed into Yikun Palace in a panic: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
The Empress was in the storeroom, wiping down the items Emperor Yuanwu had bestowed upon her one by one: "What's all the fuss about? Is there anything worse than my current situation?"
Lan Xi was panting heavily because she had run too fast.
She held onto the table next to her with one hand and covered her chest with the other.
"Look, the pattern on this vase is a dragon and phoenix symbolizing good fortune. It was a gift from the Emperor to me when I was first made Empress. This vase is my favorite..."
As the empress spoke, she gently wiped the area again with the silk thread in her hand.
Just as she was about to put down the vase with the dragon and phoenix design and replace it with another one.
Lan Xi finally caught her breath: "Your Majesty, the First Prince has been demoted to a commoner by the Emperor and has been sent out of the palace by Eunuch Jixiang."
What! ?
The Empress's eyes flashed violently, and with a flick of her hand, the vase crashed to the ground.
The porcelain struck the ground with a loud thud.
The Empress remained motionless, as if she had been struck by a pressure point, still holding the vase.
Startled, Lan Xi rushed to the Empress's side and carefully examined her: "Your Majesty, did I prick you? Please go to the side and let me clean it up."
It took the Empress a while to slowly come to her senses: "What...what did you just say?"
“I told you to go to the side and let the servants clean up,” Lan Xi repeated.
“Not this one.” The Empress’s eyes were glazed over.
Even though she had clearly heard what Lan Xi had said, she still asked again, unwilling to give up: "The previous sentence."
Lan Xi knelt on the ground, her hands pausing as she packed her things. She slowly raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, the First Prince has been demoted to a commoner by the Emperor and has already been sent out of the palace by Eunuch Jixiang."
Before Lan Xi could finish speaking, tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there were also instances where princes were demoted to commoners.
There is no such thing as a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Each one was more tragic than the last.
Some died, some went mad.
Mu Junyao is done!
He's completely finished.
For so many years, Mu Junyao has been the Empress's only hope.
He's finished.
Because the Empress will be arriving soon too.
"Why is this happening? I don't believe it!" The Empress suddenly came to her senses.
"I heard from Eunuch Xiao Dezi, who serves the Emperor, that the First Prince has been hiding a dragon robe outside the palace." Lan Xi finished speaking and glanced at the Empress. She hesitated for a while before continuing, "It seems that he also has a lover outside the palace."
The Empress sighed helplessly: "He's really foolish. As long as he obediently listens to me, the throne will be his sooner or later. Even if there is a girl he likes, he can take her in as a concubine first. After he ascends the throne, he can decide what titles to bestow upon her."
"No." Lan Xi's expression was somewhat complicated: "I heard that the person he's seeing is a man..."
