Chapter 1054 Brainless Love and Resentment 22
"Empress, you have gone too far." The Emperor's face turned cold.
"Your Majesty, I have been presumptuous. If you wish to punish me, then just depose me and give me a cup of poison!" As she spoke, tears streamed down the Empress's face. "Do you know how much suffering I have endured all these years? It would be no exaggeration to say that I have lived like a walking corpse."
"Not only am I unable to avenge my child, but I also have to watch helplessly as my enemy lives so freely in front of me. Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I hope to dream of Chen'er, but I am also afraid to dream of his child. I am afraid that if I dream of his child, his child will question me about why I did not avenge him."
"Your Majesty, I am so tired," the Empress said, clutching her chest with both hands, looking utterly exhausted. "I can't go on any longer. Rather than living like a walking corpse, I'd rather go to the underworld and be with Chen'er sooner."
The Emperor stepped forward and embraced the Empress: "Empress, I did not know that your heart had despaired to this extent, but Empress! If Chen'er knew in the afterlife, he would surely hope that you could live well. Moreover, you are only thirty years old. I believe that as long as you take good care of your health, you will definitely be able to conceive a royal heir again."
"Your Majesty, I will never be pregnant again," the Empress shook her head in the Emperor's arms. "Over the years, I have almost been eating medicinal soup as my daily meals in order to conceive another child. But I only learned the other day that my body had been drugged and I can no longer bear the Emperor's child."
This is what the Empress hates the most. Losing her son is certainly a terrible pain for the Empress, but as long as she can still give birth, the Empress still has hope.
But to everyone's surprise, she had already been given a sterilization drug. And it was obvious who else but the Empress Dowager could have drugged her, since only the Empress Dowager had the ability to drug her, the Empress, and it took her so many years to find out.
The Emperor's face instantly darkened. What the Empress could think of, the Emperor naturally thought of as well.
"Empress, it is I who have wronged you." The Emperor's words made his stance clear; he could not make decisions for the Empress.
The Empress had anticipated the Emperor's attitude, and she burst into tears, quickly soaking the Emperor's clothes.
Of course, the Empress was just putting on an act for the Emperor, in order to make him feel more guilty towards her.
As for whether he harbors resentment towards the emperor.
Of course he resented her, but what could he do? After all, she was the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's biological mother. Even if the Empress Dowager had given her a sterilization drug, or even poisoned her to death, the Emperor wouldn't do anything to his own mother.
Honestly, if it weren't for the sake of her family, the Empress would have preferred to die together with the Empress Dowager, Consort Yang, and the Emperor.
The next morning, after court, the emperor went to the Empress Dowager's palace, had a big argument with her, and stormed out of the palace in a rage.
This led the concubines in the harem to speculate about what the Empress Dowager had done to provoke such a great rage in the Emperor.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Chunxi, but Jiang Chunxi did do something, though.
In the original owner's previous life, it was rumored that Yang Guifei was pregnant about three months later. Jiang Chunxi did not want Yang Guifei to give birth to a prince. Although the death of the original owner's son in the previous life was caused by Yu Pin, Yang Guifei's son was also involved.
Most importantly, if Yang Guifei had a son, it wouldn't be good for Jiang Chunxi either. She entered the palace aiming for the position of Empress Dowager, so of course she had to nip any potential threats in the bud.
So, it would have been better if Yang Guifei had no sons.
