"Not seeing me?" Hua Rong was now so furious she was spitting fire from all seven orifices.
Her son had refused to see her!
Did he still have any regard for her as his mother in his heart?
"Sovereign, this was all Chu Qianli's idea."
Feng Ling secretly glanced at her, seeing her anger rise a notch. She immediately continued to fan the flames:
"Chu Qianli said he wasn't allowed to see anyone, and the Prince obediently stayed by her side, refusing to see anyone."
"I thought he just didn't want to see me, but I didn't expect that even after I mentioned your identity as Sovereign, he refused without a second thought."
"Sovereign, the Prince's heart now only holds Chu Qianli. What are we to do?"
"Feng Ling! Stop stirring up trouble!"
Granny Cui immediately interrupted her, quickly comforting Hua Rong: "Sovereign, there must be something that has troubled the Prince. Perhaps... perhaps the Emperor of Nanming has something very important to discuss with him..."
"The Emperor of Nanming is already on his deathbed, he won't last much longer. What is there to discuss with him?"
Although she didn't know what had happened in the palace chambers these past two days, it seemed very mysterious.
However, they had inquired about the news before. The Emperor was in a coma and seemed to be nearing his end.
Hua Rong really wanted to know what the peculiar atmosphere in the palace chambers was all about these past two days.
Who knew that her son refused to reveal any information, and now he wouldn't even come back when summoned.
What on earth was he doing?
Feng Ling also quickly said: "I'm afraid Chu Qianli doesn't want him to leave, so the Prince has been staying by her side. The Prince is now completely obedient to her."
"During this time, everything the Prince does is arranged by Chu Qianli. Everyone outside only remembers Princess Chu Qianli, who would have thought that most of the matters were handled by our Prince?"
Feng Ling never hesitated when criticizing Chu Qianli.
"Chu Qianli has stolen all the limelight for everything. When has it been the Prince's turn to step forward? Everyone outside says that the Prince is the one hiding behind Chu Qianli."
"From ancient times to the present, what successful man has had to hide behind a woman? For them to say this about the Prince is simply a humiliation."
"Feng Ling!" Granny Cui really couldn't listen anymore. Surely the Sovereign could see Feng Ling's attempt to sow discord?
Granny Cui was utterly disgusted with this woman.
She used to be gentle and soft-spoken, but now, how had she become so calculating, even not hiding her jealousy at all?
"Sovereign, Feng Ling's words..."
"You stop speaking well of Chu Qianli!"
Hua Rong glared at Granny Cui with intense anger, extremely displeased.
"You told me to accept Chu Qianli, and I've been trying to! But look at the good deeds she's done!"
Hua Rong clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fierce rage!
"She's monopolized my son, and now, she won't even allow me to see my son!"
"Sovereign, shall I go and beg Chu Qianli again? Perhaps she will allow the Prince to come back and see you." Feng Ling said softly.
These words, instead of helping, made Hua Rong so angry she almost spat blood.
She wanted to see her son, and she had to beg Chu Qianli for permission?
This slut, what right did she have!
"I will go myself and bring that unfilial son back!"
