Chapter 210 - 209: Slapping the Green Tea Empress Dowager 26
Although the Empress Dowager said she would not pursue the matter, deep down she harbored a grudge against Emperor Jianwu, and the maternal affection of the past could no longer be found.
After her miscarriage, she was busy returning to the palace before the end of her confinement.
Once back in the palace, the Empress Dowager began a prominent campaign to remove the people Emperor Jianwu had previously installed.
The constant troubles in a short span of time had the palace maids and eunuchs living in fear, each scared out of their wits.
With consecutive purges within the palace, Emperor Jianwu and the Empress Dowager reached a point where there was nothing left to say, barely even seeing each other.
Prince Kang was also informed about the miscarriage of the Empress Dowager.
He was greatly shaken and hurriedly entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager.
Upon seeing Prince Kang, the Empress Dowager burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.
Clinging to Prince Kang, she sobbed breathlessly, "Tingzhang, I... I couldn’t save our child; the child is gone, gone."
Prince Kang also felt some pity for the Empress Dowager.
Although his affection for the Empress Dowager had faded, the habit of long-standing familiarity remained; whenever the Empress Dowager cried, he couldn’t help but feel distressed.
"Don’t cry, if the child is gone, it’s gone, as long as you are alright, that’s what matters."
