Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 767: Chapter 631:

The decree of dethronement, written again and again.

"Your Majesty."

Eunuch Yu cautiously reminded, "Today it’s chilly."

Emperor Liang, with his hands behind his back, gazed at the endless firmament: "Send the Empress a cup of her favorite Osmanthus Brew."

Eunuch Yu understood, and softly complied: "As you command, Your Majesty."

Hu Lie committed such treacherous acts, the entire Hu Family must be held accountable.

Even if it’s his own maternal clan, even if the former emperor left a posthumous edict.

Consort Hu knelt outside the Imperial Study Room for a long time.

Torrential rain drenched her clothes.

"Your Majesty—please, grant me an audience—"

"The Hu Family is innocent—"

"My brother is innocent—"

"My brother did not rebel—he was framed—Your Majesty—Your Majesty—"

"Cousin—"

"Cousin, please see me, Ah Rou—Cousin—"

Princess Consort Chen walked past with Qing’er.

Consort Hu wiped the rain and tears off her face and grabbed the hem of Princess Consort Chen’s garment: "Princess Consort Chen!"

Princess Consort Chen stopped her steps.

The umbrella-holding Qing’er also halted.

Consort Hu looked up, pleading sorrowfully: "Princess Consort Chen, are you going to see His Majesty?"

Princess Consort Chen said nothing.

Consort Hu wept: "If you speak to His Majesty, he will listen to you... he will... I’m begging you, Princess Consort Chen... it was my fault before... I was blind... I shouldn’t have treated you that way... this time, I’m begging you... let His Majesty see me..."

"His Majesty will not see you, you should go back."

Princess Consort Chen said.

Consort Hu cried uncontrollably: "You are the biological mother of the Crown Prince! His Majesty loves the Crown Prince the most! Please plead for me..."

Princess Consort Chen looked at her: "Why should I plead for you?"

Consort Hu was stunned.

Princess Consort Chen said: "Did you plead for me when my son was framed? Did you plead for my son when your son, the Regent, threw him into prison and tortured him?"

"Princess Consort Chen, I..."

"No need to say more, the cause and effect have long been set, today’s outcome is your own doing."

Princess Consort Chen finished speaking and said to Qing’er, "Qing’er, let’s go."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qing’er, holding an oiled paper umbrella in one hand, pulled Princess Consort Chen’s skirt from Consort Hu’s grasp with the other.

Princess Consort Chen went to Diligent Governance Hall.

However, she was not going to see Emperor Liang.

She was visiting Treasure Piggy.

Not long after, Consort Jiang also came to Treasure Piggy’s room.

The little one was sitting cross-legged on the ground, playing with her trinkets.

"So excessive! So excessive!"

Consort Jiang was so angry she clenched her fists.

Princess Consort Chen smiled: "What has His Majesty done to anger you again?"

"Do you still remember the gambling debt he owed last time?"

"Oh, I remember."

Princess Consort Chen nodded.

"He refuses to pay it back!"

Consort Jiang fumed at the mention of it.

Despite her genuine concern, fearing he might pass on.

He shamelessly shirked his debt!

"A ruler never makes empty promises, it is his fault."

"You are the reasonable one!"

Consort Jiang muttered, "He suggested exchanging it for the title of Imperial Noble Consort? Am I someone who covets titles?"

Princess Consort Chen smiled without speaking.

"So frustrating!"

Consort Jiang, unwilling to bring up Emperor Liang any longer, picked up the little one from the ground and inhaled deeply with affection, "Zhaozhao is still the cutest, Zhaozhao, would you like to be Nie’er’s bride?"

Treasure Piggy: "No."

Nie’er is the little brother!

After the upheaval in Great Liang, the court had a mountain of matters to address.

Lu Zhaoyan was so busy he barely touched the ground, even Prince Fu and the usually indolent Prince Ming were entrusted with significant responsibilities.

Yet, Emperor Liang always felt something was still missing in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Grandson requests an audience."

Eunuch Yu said.

Emperor Liang pressed his aching brow: "Let him in."

Lu Yuan entered the Imperial Study Room, bowed and saluted: "Royal Grandfather."

"Why come to the palace today? Weren’t you supposed to stay at the residence to accompany Xiao Jiu?"

"I came to the palace today with something I want Royal Grandfather to see."

Lu Yuan said, and took out the Peace Lock given to him by the Supreme Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Grandson requests an audience."

"Why come to the palace today? Weren’t you supposed to stay at the residence to accompany Xiao Jiu?"

"I came to the palace today with something I want Royal Grandfather to see."

Lu Yuan said, taking out the Peace Lock given to him by the Supreme Emperor for Emperor Liang to examine.
