Chapter 578 So Good

Mu Tinng's loneliness could not be hidden from Empress Dowager's eyes.

As an experienced man, Empress Dowager knew that the shackles of love were not something that words could give up. He knew better that Mu Tinng might not be able to let go of it all his life, but he had the consciousness of being an emperor and could never do anything to make him angry.

The next table patted Mu Tinng's hand, and Empress Dowager said earnestly, "Prince, mother knows your deep love, but it's just god's will. Now that Mianyue has her own home, since Mianyue chose to be happy, then we can only bless."

Mu Tinng smiled bitterly. "Mother, don't worry. I know my limits. Since I am an emperor, I will take Tianlan as my priority. Otherwise, I wouldn't have..." After a pause, Mu Tinng looked at the empress dowager and said, "Now that the Su Family is in our house at the Yan Country, I heard that Mianyue has found a miracle doctor for Prime Minister Su and his son. Their bodies are all fine. Mother, please feel at ease."

"That's great." Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly. Mu Tinng knew her special feelings for Su Chengye, but the mother and son had never talked about it directly. It was so difficult to see each other now, and Empress Dowager was more evasive.

Both mother and son were immersed in their own thoughts for a moment speechless. They had fallen in love with people who could not be together in their lives, but they all had responsibilities that they had to shoulder, destined to only bury this deep feelings in their hearts.

"Mother, the imperial concubine wants to see you." Mu Tinng opened his mouth after sorting out his thoughts.

Empress Dowager sighed in a low voice, "It's all bad luck. It's good to see the past."

"We will arrange it after the arrangements are made by your son. Does your mother plan to meet you in the palace or go to Prince Rui's Mansion?"

"In the palace, the ai family is no longer in the mood to torment."

Empress Dowager thought for a moment and made a decision. After all, she was the Empress Dowager of the country. If she went to Prince Rui's Mansion in a crisis, it would be an indescribable blow to Mu Tinng.

Mu Tinng nodded as expected, took care of Empress Dowager's health and left.

The internal turmoil in the Tianlan had just subsided, and the foreign war was temporarily over. Everything was in vain and there was no room for him to grow up.

Three days later, Mu Chen and her son were admitted to the palace. Mu Tinng met Mu Chen in the imperial study and the imperial concubine went to Cining Palace to meet Empress Dowager.

Both mother and son had very different moods, but there was sadness.

When they met again, the empress dowager looked like an old woman, but Empress Dowager did not see her old age. It was only a few years, and because of mu chen's impulsive decision, it was destined to end today.

Of course, without the support of the Yan Country and the hidden stakes left behind by Su Mianyue, perhaps Mu Chen and her son would not be in a mess today, and even the independent small court would not be difficult.

"I just want to ask you, was the death of the little princess related to you?" The empress dowager was silent for a long time after she saw Empress Dowager, and her expression was very calm. She only asked this question with a strong hatred.

Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said, "You and I were the best handkerchief friends in the boudoir. At that time, the thoughts of the ai family had never been hidden from you. You should know that my heart was never in this deep palace. Even when the favor of the former emperor was endless, it never fought for half of it. Although it was true that he had done some things in order for his son to grow up, he had never hurt anyone's life, but he was forced to protect himself. When the little princess died, she was only over a year old. Could such a small child hurt the ai family and the prince?"

"Is it really not you?" The imperial concubine frowned, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Is there any need to lie to you now? In fact, with your intelligence, you should be able to figure out who is the biggest beneficiary of setting the ai family up to murder the little princess, and making the two of us turn against each other. But now that the enemy is gone, even if you know it, it is meaningless." Empress Dowager sighed and looked at his old friend, "Shuhua, you have been treating the ai family as your enemy for so many years, but the ai family has not hurt you at all. Don't you understand?"

The empress dowager's straight back suddenly bent down and clutched the jade pendant in her hand, "Empress, empress, you have caused me so much pain! I, xiao shuhua, have hated my whole life and have helped you to do things that the tao has not allowed for so many days. Why do you treat me like this? Even if you die, can your soul rest in peace?"

Empress Dowager looked at the empress dowager helplessly, letting her cry out in a heartbreaking manner. Looking at her lost demeanor, his heart ached, but he did not say a word of comfort.

The death of the little princess was a knot in the heart of the imperial concubine, not a knot in Empress Dowager's heart.

If it weren't for her, the empress wouldn't have attacked the little princess. After all, I didn't kill bo ren but died because of me. Empress Dowager never stopped blaming herself, which was why the imperial concubine hated her for years of revenge, but Empress Dowager still didn't do it.

As miserable as this was, the brothers in the imperial study were fighting with their eyes.

Mu Tinng did not deliberately embarrass Mu Chen. After he entered the imperial study, he ordered people to prepare chairs and evacuate all the servants in the imperial study. The secret guards stayed in the dark.

After about an hour of incense, Mu Chen suddenly said with a sneer, "I know I can't escape death, but I have no regrets. Mu Tinng, I've been preparing for revenge since the day you took her away, but my skills are not as good as mine. I can admit defeat even if I lose. And while you are still sitting on the dragon chair, you have sacrificed the most sincere feelings of a woman for it, but this woman's feelings are not for you. Have you ever felt ashamed?"

Mu Tinng's face was slightly cold. Losing Su Mianyue was a pain in his heart, and stealing Su Mianyue's love at first sight was the biggest stain in his life and the unwillingness to face it.

"You have no right to even mention her name now. No matter what I did in the first place, it was your cowardice that caused it. If you really care about her, it's not that you don't have the chance to regain it. You willingly gave her up to me. Isn't it ridiculous to settle old scores with me now? Mu Tinng curled his lips and smiled coldly. No matter how painful his heart was, he would never let his former rival see him.

"I thought you were the one she liked, or else she wouldn't have let go." Mu Chen's eyes darkened. "When I knew what happened back then, she was already your crown princess. Even though I could fight for the throne with you, I couldn't marry her openly, so I could only choose to help you ascend the throne. But how did you treat her? Mu Tinng, the biggest mistake of your life is to miss a woman who really cares about you."

"At least she's willing to be my friend. Otherwise, why do you think I can take you back to beijing so easily?" Ji Xun shook the seal in his hand to hide the bitterness in his eyes and said, "Give this to me before Mianyue leaves the capital. You can use all her dark forces in the Tianlan. Your failure this time is not due to the public's will, but to the layout of Mianyue for many years."

Mu Chen looked at the seal in Mu Tinng's hand in disbelief, and after a long time, he collapsed into a chair with a look of dejection.

The most important choice he faced in his life was because of Su Mianyue, but he didn't expect to end up in prison because of her.

After a long time, Mu Chen burst into laughter, which was as miserable as a cuckoo weeping for blood. Mu Tinng could not bear to hear it.

But this was the sorrow of the royal family. Family was as fragile as a piece of rice paper in front of the imperial power. No matter how sympathetic Mu Tinng was, he would not give Mu Chen a chance to make a comeback.
