"So that's why you dare to humiliate me so boldly, right? Just wait, if you don't obey me today, I will make you wish you were dead when you come to the Japanese Palace."
Concubine Dong shouted viciously and did not forget to push over the table beside her. After a loud noise, the teacups on the table turned into pieces, mixed with the dry yellow tea, which was extremely desolate and lonely.
When the two young eunuchs saw that Concubine Dong was about to have another outburst, they looked at each other and then turned away, as if they hadn't noticed Concubine Dong's hysteria.
They walked to the door of Qingliang Palace, closed the door, and stood guard at the door quietly.
According to the order of the late emperor, no one would serve the people who entered the Qingliang Palace. They would be summoned when there was something. Of course, they spent most of their time guarding outside the Qingliang Palace, like two door gods.
When Murong Jie arrived at the entrance of Qingliang Palace, the sounds of smashing and looting inside the palace had ceased. Only the sound of sobbing could be heard faintly in his ears.
Murong Jie was already accustomed to Concubine Dong's crying. This time when she encountered such a big thing, it would be unlike her mother if she didn't cry and make a fuss.
"Open the door."
Murong Jie's voice was low and hoarse, but it carried an irresistible pressure.
The two young eunuchs raised their heads and looked at the young man standing in the rosy sky. He looked desolate, and his usual gentleness and warmth were long gone.
"Fourth Prince, please don't embarrass me. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Qingliang Palace."
"I am not an outsider. My mother is imprisoned inside."
Murong Jie explained softly, but his eyes flickered when he opened his mouth, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.
"Fourth Prince, with respect to Qingliang Palace, you and the Emperor are both outsiders." The young eunuch explained softly, but did not dare to look at the Fourth Prince.
"Then you should know that I am the fourth prince. If I want to take your lives, it is very easy."
"Fourth Prince, please don't scare us. We have the order from the late emperor and we dare not disobey. If we anger the Fourth Prince, he will want to beat us or kill us, and we dare not disobey him."
The young eunuch had never seen Murong Jie speak so harshly, so he quickly knelt down and explained in a low voice.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Murong Jie didn't expect that it would be difficult to see his mother. He was stopped by the little eunuch. He was naturally indignant in his heart, and his words were full of anger.
The young eunuch guarding the door of Qingliang Palace knelt on the ground and did not answer. He walked to the door and was about to push it open, but he did not expect that two young eunuchs had already run in front of him and stretched out their hands to stop his outstretched hand.
"How bold." Murong Jie shouted loudly, his eyes full of anger, but the two little eunuchs stood there calmly, easily repelling all his courage.
Murong Jie is usually the gentlest person and is considerate of his servants. He enjoys a good reputation in the palace. He had no choice but to embarrass the two young eunuchs this time, but he did not expect them to be so stubborn.
"Jie'er, is that you? Jie'er, this Qingliang Palace is not a place for people to live. Go and ask your father to take me out. I've had enough of this place. I don't want to stay here for even a quarter of an hour."
Because Murong Jie's voice was so loud, it startled Concubine Dong in the palace. She quickly ran to the door and shouted outside.
Her Jie'er is here. As long as Jie'er goes to beg the emperor, the emperor will definitely release her.
"Jie'er, did you hear what mother said? Go find your father and beg him to come and take me out. Go quickly."
Concubine Dong heard no sound outside the door and shouted anxiously.
Outside the door, Murong Jie stood outside the Qingliang Palace, looking at a loss, not knowing how to respond to his mother.
After he knew that his father had confined his mother to Qingliang Palace, he hurried to ask for mercy from his father. However, after his father left the court, he went to Qifeng Palace. Later, he came out in a daze. When he saw him, he only said one sentence: "Let your mother stay in peace for now."
