Chapter 585 The General Was Rescued (Extra 2)
Love of three people
Since Chen Fengze inherited the throne, the emperor moved out of his original bedroom.
Because he was the grandson who succeeded to the throne, he should have been honored as the Supreme Emperor, but because Crown Prince Chen Jiyao was deposed, he was still given the honorific title of the Supreme Emperor.
The emperor lived alone in a remote palace far away from the imperial palace.
The once bustling court life was gone from him, and now all that accompanied him was endless silence and loneliness.
The palace had fallen into disrepair, with a leaking roof and dilapidated walls.
Whenever it rains, the sound of raindrops echoes in the empty hall, as if playing a sad and tragic song.
He lay on the shabby bed. The bedding was thin and cold. Even with his body curled up, it was unable to resist the chill of early winter.
As for food, there were no more delicacies from the past. The food delivered was often leftovers, so rough that it was difficult to swallow.
He looked at the simple food and thought of the table full of delicious food in the past, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
There were very few people serving him, and their attitude was cold and perfunctory.
Occasionally he wanted to talk about some past events, but the servants just listened woodenly, with no emotion in their eyes.
The retired emperor could only live in memories. He often stared at the empty yard, missing the supreme power he once possessed. But all of this has now vanished, and he is left to slowly waste the rest of his life in this miserable corner.
Of course, if this is just a material deficiency, it can be more or less tolerable.
By all means
"Cousin, come and chase me!" The former concubine of the retired emperor, who was also his cousin, now lived with him.
However, her mental state has not been very good in recent years because she has been neglected and her son has passed away.
For example, at this moment, the "Royal Concubine" is still being affectionate to the Emperor, but she will turn hostile in an instant: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel! You clearly know who killed our child, but you have never avenged your son. I hate you!"
A woman's hatred is never expressed casually, especially when she is very cruel to herself.
Therefore, it basically became the norm to have more "good things" in the food. This was not the most horrifying thing. The imperial concubine would actually open the locked door. She would sneak into the emperor's sleeping place in the middle of the night and point the wooden hairpin that they had used to express their love to each other at each other's eyes.
"What are you going to do?" The emperor, who was awakened in the middle of the night, was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh! I think since you can't judge people clearly, it doesn't matter whether you have these eyes or not." When the imperial concubine saw that he woke up, she felt bored and went back to her room.
In order to avoid being frightened like this, the emperor could only find a different place to sleep with his quilt every day.
Playing "hide and seek" with my "cousin"!
Less than half a month passed like this.
The former queen of the retired emperor was also sent here.
But that noble woman who had lived a life of luxury was now just an old woman whose two sons had died. Judging from her appearance alone, she looked older than the emperor and the imperial concubine.
Fortunately, her mental state is normal.
"You? Why are you here?" The emperor looked at his wife and felt a chill on his back.
If this is the case for a person who lost one son, then what about a person who lost two sons? Wouldn’t he be even crazier?
The emperor didn't even dare to think about it. He told the palace servants who served him every day, "Let me go. I don't want to be here."
Another half a year passed, and when the current Empress Dowager Tao Nanmo came here, she saw that the retired emperor had lost one eye and one ear.
The crazy imperial concubine ordered the elderly emperor to carry her on his back and run in the yard.
The queen used to sit at the edge of the yard with a whip in her hand. If the "cows and horses" in the field ran slower, they would be whipped.
"Starting tomorrow, give me less food!" Tao Nanmo looked at the two women who had fought for half their lives and "joined forces" to torture their enemies in their old age. "If they eat too much and have too little time, they will cause trouble."
"Yes!" The palace servant serving here bowed in response.
The emperor had obviously seen Tao Nanmo, and he almost rushed towards her, shouting, "Let me out, I was wrong! Let me out! I am the emperor!"
But the gate of the courtyard was closed in front of him.
"Since you have known each other for a lifetime, you should just live out your retirement here in peace!" Tao Nanmo's neither loud nor soft voice came into the yard from behind the door.
As for those women who had served the retired emperor but had not given birth, they were all dismissed.
The spy arranged by the deposed prince committed suicide in his own palace on the day Chen Jiyao was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison because he was afraid that the incident would be exposed and his family would be implicated.
