The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 794

Chapter 794: 368 Pit Empress (Second Update)_2

The little nun could no longer cope, she had only heard about the cruelty of the Imperial Palace, but never experienced it for herself.

Choked with sobs, she rushed to the Huaqing Palace.

"Let me see His Majesty! The Dowager Empress has gone a whole day without eating or drinking...if this continues...if this continues... she will fall sick..."

She cried out loudly.

This is a mortal sin within the Imperial Palace.

She didn’t realize just how lucky she was not to be dragged away and punished according to palace laws.

"What’s all the commotion outside?" The Emperor set down his papers, rubbing his brow in confusion.

Eunuch Wei spoke quietly: "It’s the small nun from the Dowager Empress’ side... she says... the Dowager Empress has not eaten all day."

The Emperor’s brows furrowed.

Eunuch Wei gauged the Emperor’s reaction: "Your Majesty, shall I go check it out?"

The Emperor opened his mouth.

He hesitated, for a moment, he actually wanted to nod.

Then he was scared by his own thoughts. In the past, he would immediately put aside his official duties to visit her as soon as he heard any news of the Empress Dowager. Why wasn’t he as anxious now when she hadn’t eaten or drank anything for an entire day?

He shouldn’t be like this.

He closed his eyes and said: "I’m going to the Nunnery."

Eunuch Wei: "Yes."

The Emperor didn’t take a sedan, but walked over there with Eunuch Wei.

The Empress Dowager loved peace and quietness, so the original site chosen was quite remote, and due to urgency, the Nunnery wasn’t built to be very big.

Shrouded by the twilight, it looked even more diminutive and desolate.

Seeing the Emperor arrive, the little nun was overjoyed: "Your Ma— "

The Emperor didn’t look at her, merely raising his hand slightly.

At once, the little nun was stunned by his majestic aura.

The light in the Buddha Hall was on, a lonely figure projected onto the paper window, the Emperor walked towards it.

In the chilly Buddha Hall, the Empress Dowager sat alone on the ground. She tried to straighten her back, but seemed to be unable to resist the passage of time, showing a hint of frailty that came with age.

The Emperor suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart: "Mother Empress..."

Seeing her in such a state, the Emperor felt a deep pain in his heart. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
