At this point, he sighed. He wanted to say that he would try his best to get them out of here as soon as possible.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because he has no idea when he will be able to do it.
After Chang swallowed the mooncake in her hand, she reminded him with a sense of loss:
"Ming'er, you can't stay here for long, go back!"
"Mother, the emperor is taking a nap now. I will stay with you for a while."
This... is of course what Chang wanted. The reason why she urged Leng Ming to leave was that she didn't want Ming'er's whereabouts to be discovered.
"Xiao Tao, go to the door. Prince Ming and I have a few words to say."
Xiao Tao originally wanted to follow Leng Ming. She had always remembered what Leng Ming said to her the last time he came.
This time she had finally waited for him to come, and she wanted to say a few good words to Prince Ming, but she didn't expect that this Chang family would actually drive her away.
Although she was reluctant, she pouted and turned towards the door unhappily.
When only the mother and daughter were left here, Chang couldn't wait to ask:
"How is your father's health?"
"Mother, he has already banished you to the cold palace. Are you still thinking about her?"
Chang hurriedly shook her head.
"Mother is not worried about him. Mother just wants to know how much longer he can sit on the throne. Mother wants to know how much time you have left to fight for it."
Leng Ming sat on the stone bench next to Chang, looking at his mother with a thin face, feeling indescribable.
After a long pause, he said truthfully:
"The Emperor is in good health and has handed over the affairs of the court to Leng Yu. He enjoys the quiet and peaceful life and hides away in Hibiscus Palace every day."
"Hibiscus Palace?"
Chang repeated these three words and asked impatiently:
"Is this the bedroom where the woman surnamed Li lives?"
"Yes, with Shui Luolan's help, she has gained the emperor's favor. The emperor has been staying in Hibiscus Palace for several days recently."
When mentioning Shui Luolan, Chang's teeth chattered, and the moment he clenched his fists, he cursed angrily:
"Shui Luolan again? This woman, I will make sure she dies without a burial place sooner or later."
Seeing his mother say such hateful words to Shui Luolan, Leng Ming sighed and comforted her softly:
"Mom, don't get excited. Some things are not entirely her fault. Besides... besides, I'm planning to... marry her sister Liu Luoxue."
"What?"
Chang stood up from the stool as if she was stung by something, staring at him in surprise.
"Ming'er, what did you say? You want to marry Liu Dechang's daughter?"
Leng Ming glanced in the direction of Xiao Tao and saw her eating the mooncake in her hand. He hurriedly pulled her sleeve.
"Mom, please don't be so excited, okay? I want to marry her now, but she doesn't want to marry yet. Besides, if you want to have a good life in the cold palace for a few days, you have to use Xiao Tao temporarily. Don't let her hear this."
Chang sat back on the stool, his face darkened, and he asked sternly:
"Ming'er, Shui Luolan and Leng Yu are both my enemies. If you want to avenge me, how can you marry Shui Luolan's sister? Besides, Liu Dechang is already in Leng Yu's hands. Even if you marry his daughter, you won't get his help! I don't agree to this. You are the prince of Daning Kingdom. Even if you marry, you can marry a princess from a foreign country. This will help boost your strength."
"But...but I like her."
"When it comes to marriage, you have to use your status to expand your power. What's the point of just liking someone? Which woman in this harem has ever truly loved the emperor? Not a single one. Aren't they all just trying to climb up the social ladder and realize their dreams of wealth and glory?"
"Mom, I'm different from others. I just want to find a woman I like and spend my whole life with her."
"Confused..."
Chang suddenly became a little annoyed. She glared at Leng Ming with a flash of hostility in her eyes and tried to persuade him again:
"If you want to rescue Mom, then listen to her and don't let your emotions get in the way. Otherwise, you'll never achieve anything great in your life."
"But……"
Chang waved her hands impatiently.
"There's no but. You've been weak since you were born. It's unrealistic for you to live a life without arguments or disputes. I've tried to teach you time and time again, but you haven't understood. That's because I'm incompetent. Now you've grown up and can tell right from wrong. I hope that as the prince of Daning, when you have the chance to fight, you won't give up such a good opportunity. This is the only way you can save me. Do you understand?"
"mother……"
Leng Ming felt distressed when he saw his mother with a few white hairs on her forehead.
"Okay, go away. If you don't listen to me, don't come to see me again. Let me live out my life here alone!"
After saying this, she turned her face away, deliberately avoiding looking at Leng Ming.
"mother……"
Leng Ming hesitated to speak several times. He could agree to his mother's other things, but he didn't want to give up on marrying Luo Xue.
Besides, his fifth brother had already paved the way for him, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Then he lowered his eyelids and whispered:
"Mom, I can agree to anything you ask, except marrying you."
When Chang heard this, a trace of pain appeared in her eyes. She sneered and waved her hand.
"Go away! Don't come to see me again. You won't have me as your mother anymore."
"mother……"
"Don't call me."
Chang suddenly raised her voice, and Xiao Tao, who was sitting at the door, was startled. She hurried over and looked at Leng Ming who was standing up, and asked in a low voice:
