689 Pretentious Woman Exposed (1)
Yu Wan had long known that the Empress was a good-for-nothing, but she did not expect her to be so bad. She could even kill a three-year-old child. Wasn’t she a beast?
However, on second thought, it did not seem too strange. After all, this was not the first time she had attacked a child. Back then, her mother had been schemed against by the Empress when she was still an infant. The crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. No wonder Nangong Yan was so ruthless. It turned out that her viciousness towards the young Yan Jiuchao was hereditary.
Since she knew that Dabao was harmed by the Empress, Yu Wan would not let the children continue to stay in the Central Palace.
Yu Wan asked Shadow Thirteen to return first while she went to the central palace openly.
The Emperor became more and more concerned about the children. In order to take care of them, he got someone to move the memorials to the study of the Central Palace. Just as he was reviewing the memorials, Eunuch Wang suddenly rushed over. “Your Majesty.”
“What is it?” The Emperor did not look up as he reviewed the memorial.
Eunuch Wang paused and said embarrassedly, “The little commandery princess here.”
“Xi’er is here?” The Emperor nodded. “Let her go to the Empress first. I still have some official business to attend to.”
Eunuch Wang coughed lightly. “It’s not Commandery Princess Xi, it’s Commandery Princess Wan.”
The Emperor’s hand that was reviewing the memorials paused. He did not refute the way Eunuch Wang addressed Yu Wan and only asked, “She came to the palace?”
Eunuch Wang smiled awkwardly. “It’s not the palace, it’s the central palace.”
The Emperor’s hand trembled. “Who let that girl in?”
Eunuch Wang was also puzzled. The moment he met Yu Wan at the door, he thought he had seen a ghost. He was extremely sure that Consort Yun did not have a token that allowed her to enter and leave the palace freely, so how did Commandery Princess Wan enter?
“Nonsense!” The Emperor shouted in a low voice, but he did not say anything about investigating. He said to Eunuch Wang, “Let her in.”
“Yes!” Eunuch Wang agreed respectfully and went to the entrance of the Central Palace to lead Yu Wan in.
Outside the small study, the imperial eunuch stopped in his tracks. “Your Majesty, Commandery Princess Wan is here.”
“Mhm.” The Emperor’s deep voice came from the study.
Eunuch Wang bowed and pointed at the study. “Commandery Princess Wan, please.”
Yu Wan did not accept this form of address, but Eunuch Wang was a good person. She did not make things difficult for him. She nodded slightly and entered.
The Emperor sat behind his desk with a serious expression. He glanced at Yu Wan and said indifferently, “I thought you refused to acknowledge me? Why are you in my palace?”
Yu Wan was not here to argue with him today. The fiercer the argument, the further she would push him away. Although it did not matter if she had this grandfather, it would not be worth it if the Empress benefited.
Yu Wan said good-naturedly, “I’m here to bring the children back to the manor.”
It was rare for the Emperor to see her obedient attitude, and his tone softened a lot. “The Empress has taken good care of them. You don’t have to worry about them. Let them stay in the palace for a few more days.”
Blind old thing, how long has my son lived in the palace? Your Empress caused him to fall into the water. I’m afraid I’ll never see them again if they continue to live here.
Yu Wan was not in a hurry to argue with him. Anyway, when she saw her sons later, they would naturally stick to her and want to go home with her.
“I’ll go see them first,” Yu Wan said.
The Emperor nodded and put down the memorial in his hand. “I’ll bring you there.”
Eunuch Wang curled his lips. When you heard that Commandery Princess Xi had come, you weren’t in such a hurry to put down your official business. You were afraid that the little masters wouldn’t want a great grandfather like you and would run back to the manor with their biological mother, right?
Needless to say, the Emperor was really so worried. When he left the small study and brushed past Eunuch Wang, the Emperor quietly cleared his throat and instructed in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Bring my heirloom seal over.”
Eunuch Wang: “…”
Scheming Emperor!
The three little fellows woke up during dinner. When they opened their eyes, they found their mother sitting beside them. They were stunned for a moment before they pounced into Yu Wan’s arms.
“Mother, Mother, I miss you so much!”
“Er’bao misses Mom too!”
Dabao nodded. It meant that he missed his mother too.
Yu Wan hugged the little fellows in her arms and kissed their foreheads. “I miss you too.”
The three of them lay in their mother’s arms and kissed, completely ignoring the Emperor at the side. The Emperor waved the heirloom seal in his hand very schemingly.
Dabao ignored him. Who cared about that thing when he had his mother!
The Emperor was stifled. The heirloom seal was no longer attractive. It seemed that the little fellows could not be kept anymore.
The Empress had just gone to the orchard and personally chosen tangerines for the little fellows. When she returned to the Central Palace and heard that Yu Wan had come, she went to the room with a smile.
