Xiao Jinghuan never imagined that one impulsive act would lead to this situation...
“Your Highness, I hear the ministers asked Father again today to take a secondary consort for you?” a certain woman asked darkly, watching the prince as he fussed over her with exaggerated care.
“A Li, that’s not true. Don’t listen to their nonsense...” the prince said guiltily.
“Xiao Jinghuan, I’m leaving home! I’m going back to my family...” The woman stormed off toward the General’s residence with a crowd of maids and matrons in tow.
“A Li, be careful. You’re about to give birth. I’m coming with you.” Xiao Jinghuan could only chase after her.
A few years later...
“Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress has left the palace!” When Eunuch Fu saw the divorce letter the empress had left in the Jiaofang Palace, the sky seemed to fall.
Xiao Jinghuan looked at the divorce letter, whose wording was exactly the same as that of the decree annulling their engagement. He laughed in anger.
“Have the Crown Prince govern in my stead, with the Great General and the Chancellor assisting him.”
And so, the benevolent emperor shamelessly dumped the affairs of state on the six-year-old Crown Prince.
“A Li, I’m coming. Don’t even think about running away...”
