Chapter 244 The Most Important Person in Her Heart (Part )
The Sixth Prince sniffed and said in a half-comprehending tone, "What do you mean by sufficient ability? Does it mean... do you have to be as powerful as the Second Prince?"
Zhou Yunke smiled faintly and said, "Almost. At least, you must have enough ability to protect yourself and the people around you."
While they were talking, the others were still immersed in the emperor's recent rage and no one paid attention to what they were saying.
Except for Su Liuyue who was standing next to Zhou Yunke.
She looked down at the man squatting on the ground, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
This man always looks indifferent towards people or things that he is not interested in.
This is even more true for his brothers.
The Sixth Prince is probably his most patient and loving brother.
Suddenly, a maidservant's extremely panicked voice came from the side, "Queen, what's wrong with you? Queen!"
The smile on Zhou Yunke's face suddenly disappeared. He glanced at Empress Chen who was suddenly trembling all over, stood up and walked over quickly. He gently put his arm around Empress Chen and, where no one could see, he tapped several places on the back of Empress Chen's neck.
Queen Chen froze instantly.
Zhou Yunke took the opportunity to look up at the people in front of him and said calmly, "My mother is feeling a little unwell. I will accompany her to rest for a while. Please do as you please."
After saying this, he took Empress Chen in his arms and walked out of the hall of Changchun Palace.
Su Liuyue glanced at the stunned crowd and followed leisurely.
Empress Chen was quiet and obedient at first, but after a while, she suddenly let out a low roar like a wild animal, desperately trying to break free from Zhou Yunke, and said in a shrill voice: "That bastard! I was so good to him, how could he do this to me! How could he! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
Su Liuyue, who was walking behind them, frowned slightly.
Zhou Yunke seemed a little surprised and turned to look at Empress Chen. Suddenly, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Mother, if you still want to keep your position as the empress and the power in your hands, then stop making trouble.
If you annoy me, I won't be in a position to help you with your mess."
Although the tone was gentle, it was so cold that it made people's hearts tremble.
Empress Chen's body froze, and she didn't know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly broke away from Zhou Yunke, turned around and glared at him fiercely, "What do you mean by this! I am your father's legal wife and the queen of a country! Whether you are here or not, this will not change!
Now that you've married the Crown Princess, you've become more powerful, right? "
This was already deep inside the Changchun Palace. The attendants all around lowered their heads obediently, obviously not wanting to be dragged into the war between the mother and son.
Zhou Yunke looked at her coldly, then suddenly sneered and said, "Mother, do you really think that since our father despises you and your background so much, he would really be willing to let you sit on the throne of Queen forever?
The Chen family's wealth could help his father solve urgent problems during the war, but now that the war is over and his father is in power, the Chen family, who have only done business all their lives and are covered in the stink of copper, are nothing in his eyes, but a stain on his life.
I am not afraid to tell you that my father has tried to deprive you of your power more than once. The people in the palace are not fools. They can see what my father is thinking and are very willing to lend a helping hand.
You don't think that when Xiaoliu's nurse went to complain to the emperor today, she really just wanted to seek justice for Hua Meiren and her son, right? "
Empress Chen's eyes widened and she murmured, "It's Concubine You... It must be that bitch Concubine You! She has been trying to replace me for a long time! I will never let her succeed! I will never let her succeed even if I die!
I...I'm going to kill her now!"
Having said that, he turned around and was about to go back.
Zhou Yunke took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and finally raised his knife and ruthlessly chopped Queen Chen unconscious again.
Aunt Huiming, who was standing by, stepped forward and supported the fallen Queen Chen. She said with red eyes, "Your Highness, I'm sorry. This time, it was my negligence. On such an important day, I should have asked someone to keep a close eye on the Sixth Prince..."
Earlier, she should have asked the Queen to transfer away Xiaoyue and other nagging servants.
But… just like what the Sixth Prince said just now, it is human nature to put down the inferior and praise the superior. Even if another person is transferred here, it is inevitable that Xiaoyue will make the same mistake. At least, Xiaoyue only said behind his back that she was still very dedicated when taking care of the Sixth Prince.
Zhou Yunke said coldly: "It's not all your fault. You have spent a lot of energy taking care of the Queen Mother. I see that the actions of the Emperor's father today have greatly stimulated the Queen Mother. I will send someone to call the ancient doctor over and prescribe more medicine for the Queen Mother to calm her mind.
After today, Liu Yue and I have basically completed the wedding process, and there will be fewer occasions where my mother might lose her mind."
Today, my mother actually said she wanted to kill my father.
She loved her father so much that even when she was in the most pain and sadness, she was reluctant to say a bad word about him.
Thinking of this, he added: "I will transfer a few more people to help you take care of the queen mother. Tomorrow, Aunt Mingzhen from the Ye Ting will come to see you."
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, if the Queen is not provoked, she will remain calm and self-controlled."
Aunt Huiming said quickly: "Over the years, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Queen might have already been...
However, Your Highness has suffered a lot over the years."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Queen's only son, and the Queen naturally loves him in her heart.
However, in Her Majesty's heart, perhaps the more important person is His Majesty.
She didn't want to say much about her masters' affairs, but deep down, she felt that the Queen owed the Crown Prince a lot.
Zhou Yunke said calmly: "Let's not talk about the past anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to Su Liuyue, took her hand and walked out.
Su Liuyue looked up at the person next to her, but saw that his face was cold and his eyes were deep and unfathomable. She knew that he must be in a bad mood at the moment.
So, without saying anything, she let him pull her forward.
Zhou Yunke took her and left Changchun Palace directly. Su Liuyue was a little worried about Zhou Yunke's condition at first, and most of her thoughts were on him. Until she realized that they were not heading towards the East Palace, they were almost out of the harem.
She was slightly startled, and stopped where she was, and said, "Your Highness, are we leaving the palace?"
Zhou Yunke turned his head and looked at her. His expression was finally softer than before. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Yes, tomorrow is the day you return home. I have already told my father and mother that I will stay with you in my mansion outside the palace today. It will also be convenient for us to go to the Xue family tomorrow.
I've been busy these past two days, and I forgot to tell you in advance."
Are they leaving the palace?
Su Liuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.
Thinking about seeing my uncle and his family tomorrow, I couldn't help but smile slightly.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Yunke chuckled, turned around and took her hands, and said, "Do you have something to take? It's still early now, it's not impossible for us to go back to the East Palace first..."
Su Liuyue said angrily: "I have only lived in the palace for a few days. What can I leave here? Now I am almost out of the harem. If you want to go back, go back by yourself!"
Zhou Yunke immediately smiled softly, stopped joking with her, and pulled her forward slowly, saying, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you with what happened at home these past two days."
Su Liuyue turned her head and glanced at his profile, then said seriously, "That's right. If I had known that your family situation was so complicated, I might not have been willing to marry you."
Haha, happy September everyone!
