Chapter 459: All the scheming and planning, but in the end it was all in vain
Cold Palace.
Xiao Junze was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Mocheng suddenly appearing.
"Cheng'er...why are you here?"
"Father, I'm here to see you and mother." Xiao Mocheng said, turning his head to wipe away his tears.
Ji Tao tugged at Xiao Junze's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go make some tea. Please call the Empress."
After Xiao Junze reacted, he shouted to the side hall: "Queen, our city is here..."
Two years ago in the winter, Xiao Junze fell seriously ill, and Ji Tao asked the Imperial Guards to tell Xiao Chengjin.
After Xiao Chengjin took a look around the cold palace, he agreed to let the deposed queen move in to take care of Xiao Junze.
Since then, Xiao Junze and his wife have lived in a cold palace.
The deposed queen, who was resting in a side hall, heard the shouting and ran out without even wearing her shoes.
She looked at Xiao Mocheng standing there, tears welling in her eyes, "Cheng'er, mother misses you so much."
Xiao Mocheng looked at the deposed queen running out barefoot and frowned, "Mother, why did you run out barefoot?"
The deposed queen wiped away her tears and said, "Mother, go put on your shoes now."
Seeing this, the two palace maids hurried back to the hall, took out the deposed queen's shoes, squatted down and put them on her.
"Queen, don't cry." Xiao Junze said coldly.
"Cheng'er, let's go in and talk."
"Mother, let's go in and talk." Xiao Mocheng supported the deposed queen and followed Xiao Junze's pace.
The family of three hadn't seen each other for several years, and all kinds of emotions came over them...
Xiao Junze patted Xiao Mocheng on the shoulder, "Cheng'er, sit down!"
"Yes, Father."
The deposed queen sat at the table, sobbing and asking, "Cheng'er, why did Xiao Chengjin let you come over?"
Xiao Mocheng lowered his eyes and replied, "I beg the emperor, uncle..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Junze slammed the table and asked, "What did you say?"
"You actually begged Xiao Chengjin... Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Xiao Mocheng looked at Xiao Junze, whose face was full of anger, without saying a word.
Ji Tao came over with tea in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come here, please calm down..."
He placed the tea in front of Xiao Mocheng, "Your Highness, please have some tea."
Xiao Mocheng twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince".
"Ji Tao, I am already a commoner and cannot bear the title of Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Junze and the deposed queen's eyelids twitched when they heard the emotionless tone.
Why is the city so quiet?
The deposed queen pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Cheng'er, your visit this time..."
Xiao Mocheng said frankly: "Cheng'er came here to say goodbye to my father and mother."
"In two days, I will take Huan'er and her daughter away from the capital."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Junze shouted angrily, "Did Xiao Chengjin force you to leave the capital?"
Xiao Mocheng looked at Xiao Junze who reacted so violently and sighed slightly.
"Father, no one is forcing us to leave the capital."
"Ning'er has a wish, which is to step out of the East Palace and see the outside world... So I asked the emperor's uncle to take Ning'er out of the East Palace."
"However, Cheng'er didn't expect that the emperor's uncle would actually agree for us to leave the capital."
After hearing these words, Xiao Junze's eyes flashed with calculation.
He secretly thought: In this way, does Cheng'er have a chance...
Xiao Mocheng looked at Xiao Junze's expression and knew what he was planning.
As expected, Xiao Junze whispered to Ji Tao to leave and closed the door of the palace.
"Cheng'er, since Xiao Chengjin is willing to let you leave the capital, he must think you are not capable of anything."
"Why don't you take this opportunity to quietly recruit troops and wait for the right time... to seize the throne back."
Xiao Mocheng sneered when he heard this.
"Father, do you think Cheng'er has that ability?"
Xiao Junze listened to his self-deprecating tone and felt a little disappointed.
"Can you be more ambitious?"
Xiao Mocheng's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, "Ambition?"
"Cheng'er accomplished nothing in the first half of his life... For the rest of his life, he just wants to take good care of Huan'er and her daughter."
"Father, you've been in the cold palace for so many years. It's time to accept reality."
After hearing this, Xiao Junze stood up angrily and shouted, "Accept reality?"
"If it weren't for that witch Jiang Ruo helping Xiao Chengjin, how could he have snatched the throne?"
The deposed queen looked at the father and son who were on edge and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, Cheng'er has finally come here once, please calm down."
At this moment, Xiao Junze was filled with anger.
In a rage, he pushed the deposed queen to the ground and said, "Shut up."
"How do you expect me to calm down?"
"Waste, all waste..."
Xiao Mocheng stood up and helped the deposed queen to her feet, then asked with a worried look on his face, "Mother, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, Cheng'er, mother is fine." The deposed queen wiped away her tears quietly.
Xiao Mocheng looked at the crazy Xiao Junze and roared in anger, unable to bear it any longer.
"Father, that's enough."
Xiao Junze was frightened by Xiao Mocheng's roar and fell silent immediately.
The deposed queen tugged at Xiao Mocheng's sleeve and said, "Cheng'er, don't be angry. Mother is really fine."
Xiao Mocheng looked directly at Xiao Junze and said slowly, "You're right, Cheng'er is a waste."
"It's useless trash..."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground with red eyes, "Father, Queen Mother, I'm afraid Cheng'er will never have the chance to come back after leaving the capital this time."
After these words were spoken, the deposed queen could no longer hold back.
She squatted down, hugged Xiao Mocheng and cried, "Cheng'er, let's not fight for the throne anymore, let's not fight anymore..."
"Mother only wants you to live well."
"Father, Mother, please take care of yourselves!" Xiao Mocheng cruelly pushed the deposed queen away, kowtowed three times, and stood up to leave.
The deposed queen stumbled out of the palace and shouted at Xiao Mocheng's back, "Cheng'er, take care of yourselves."
"You must take good care of Huan'er and her daughter."
Cause and effect.
After all the calculations, in the end it was all in vain...
