Hearing this, Yin Xing fell silent. Clearly, she knew that they were indeed late.
Seeing that Yin Xing seemed to have compromised, Song Yu did not give up so easily. He said anxiously,"Imperial Mother, so what if the imperial edict was passed down? At least the Sixth Prince is still alive. We can go and beg our father to take back his order!”
Besides, the Emperor of Southern Peak doted on her so much, Song Yu did not believe that there was anything she could not ask for as long as she opened her mouth.
Unexpectedly, the Empress did not think much of this." Yu 'er, this matter is not as simple as you think. Since it was someone who set this up, how do you know that they have no next step?”
To put it simply, if they rashly begged for mercy before they figured out the situation, would they fall into the other party's trap?
One had to know that the greatest taboo between the two sides was that the other party knew everything, but they knew nothing. It was like walking in a fog. That way, it would be very easy to take the wrong path and fall into the other party's trap.
At a time like this, he was still being reasonable?
Song Yu couldn't help but say angrily,""Consort Mother, no matter what, you just don't want to save him. He is Imperial Father's only son. How can you watch him die in vain? If Imperial Father finds out the truth in the future, will you really be able to face him?!”
The greatest misfortune in life was to malign the person closest to you, not to mention that this was a mistake that could not be made up for once it was committed. The Empress clearly knew everything, yet she treated it so coldly.
To be honest, Song Yu was getting more and more disappointed in her.
Song Yu was disappointed in her, but the Empress was also disappointed in Song Yu.
What was this place? This was not her Crown Princess, not the outside world. This was the Imperial Palace, the inner court that could sneak into the ears of others at any time. But what about her?
"Yu 'er, do you know what would have happened if someone had heard what you said just now?!”She had taught Song Yu so many times, but why couldn't she learn?
"I'm sorry, I really can't learn it.”
It was rare for Song Yu to finally let go of his apology under the increasingly tense atmosphere. Yin Xing and Hong Gu's worried hearts were finally relieved. However, before they could completely relax their smiles, they heard Song Yu's next words.
"I can't learn to be as cold and heartless as you, nor can I learn to be so unconcerned when I clearly love someone. Consort Mother, I really want to ask, have you ever loved Imperial Father all these years?”As for her, Song Yu felt that there was no need to mention it. She definitely had never loved him in the slightest.
Otherwise, how could he bear to let his own daughter commit such a heinous crime for a moment of glory?
You! It was obvious that the Empress was angered by her sudden words. She did not think of her own daughter at all. She didn't expect Song Yu to think that she was such a person.
"So, Yu 'er is such an unbearable consort mother in your heart. You have long wanted to expose everything that Consort Mother has done!”The Empress glared at her angrily and asked word by word.
Song Yu really wanted to reply with a yes, because that was exactly what she was thinking.
Unfortunately, before she could respond, Hong Nu stopped her." Your Highness, it can't be. Why would His Highness think that way?" Empress, calm down and don't be calculative with His Highness.”
After appeasing the Empress, Red Aunt hurriedly looked at Song Yu and said,""Your Highness, you've really misunderstood the Empress! It's not that she's unwilling to plead for mercy, but things aren't as simple as you think. Actually…"
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the Empress unhappily." Enough! Aunty Hong, tell her what to do." Then, the Empress turned her gaze and said coldly,"Alright, you want to plead for mercy? Then let me ask you how you are going to plead for mercy. If your father insists on his own opinion, what will you do?”
Why did she simply tell the truth and tell the Emperor of Southern Peak that he only had one son? She was a woman disguised as a man, so no matter what, Prince Six couldn't be killed?
Song Yu really hadn't thought of what she would do if the Emperor didn't agree, so when the Empress asked, Song Yu choked.
Because she didn't know how to answer.
But after a moment, she still forced herself to say,"How could Imperial Father not agree! As long as we say that someone killed Ruyan and deliberately angered the sixth prince, father will definitely change his mind!”
Hehe, naive! Childish!
The Empress smiled coldly and glanced at her,""Alright, then Yu 'er, do you want to bet with Imperial Mother? Even if you tell her about this matter, your Imperial Father will not change his mind. On the contrary, you will hate the Sixth Prince even more because of this.”
Why did she hate Song Yan even more? Of course, Song Yu did not believe this. She felt that this was just the Empress's one-sided story. In short, the Empress was not willing to help. She did not want the Sixth Prince, Song Yan, to live.
At this point, the Empress felt that there was no point in saying more.
"Song Yu, as long as you promise BenGong not to be impulsive and not speak nonsense, BenGong will go with you to plead with the Emperor now, how about it?"”
She knew this child too well. Although some time ago, her personality seemed to be different from before. However, the Empress knew that she had only revealed her true nature, which she had hidden for many years.
Song Yu had always been too kind and stubborn. As long as she set her mind on something, she would never turn back until she hit a wall.
"Alright, consort mother, I promise you that I will not be impulsive and will not say anything that I should not say!”When Song Yu heard that she was willing to go with him to plead with the Emperor, he naturally agreed to everything.
After half a cup of tea's time, the mother and daughter arrived before the Emperor of Nanyue.
However, things were really as the Empress said. The Emperor of Nanyue felt his heart ache when he saw Song Yu's expression. However, after feeling sorry for him, he became even more furious with the sixth prince, Song Yan. Even after hearing about Ruyan's matter, he did not forgive Song Yan.
Instead, he became even angrier and said,"Nonsense! He is a prince, yet he is entangled with a woman from a brothel. This is truly a disgrace to the royal family. None of you are allowed to plead for such an unfilial son.”
Song Yu was about to say something when the Emperor of Nanyue left in a huff.
Seeing this scene, Song Yu was stunned on the spot. She didn't know what she had said wrong and had once suspected that the Empress had already made arrangements in advance. That was why things had turned out this way.
Facing her questioning gaze, the Empress smiled helplessly." Yu 'er, you are still too young. Do you know why your Imperial Father had so few children? Do you know how your Imperial Father seized the throne back then?”
These two questions were related to the emperor's privacy, and it was taboo in the palace to privately pass on or inquire about the emperor's privacy. Therefore, even Song Yu did not know about this.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:56AM
