Chapter 400 - 12.8
"I am currently doing what His Majesty told me to do. You don’t need to worry about me. Just focus on your duty to serve His Majesty, Emperor Xianliang."
Of course, the commander wasn’t buying it. Obviously, this was not just a simple ’duty’ that the Empress had to do because the Emperor told him. This was a banishment, a torturous banishment.
It didn’t fit for an Empress who once ruled over them in such benevolence and grace. This was a blatant disgrace for the Empress, but they couldn’t do anything since the one ordering such banishment was their own Emperor.
The Golden Emperor that the people loved.
Nobody would care about a male ger Empress who mainly worked from behind his husband back, silently supporting him through thick and thin.
And when they found out that Empress Xiuying couldn’t bear a child for the Emperor, they quickly shoved the Empress down to this Cold Palace until his body turned into skin and bones. But the worst was... the Emperor, his husband whom Empress Xiuying supported since the first day he ascended to the dragon throne, did nothing when Empress Xiuying was banished to the Cold Palace.
The commander was raging in his heart, but as the snowflake falls on his head, his rage dissipated when he saw the gentle smile of Empress Xiuying as if there was no grudge in the Empress’ heart. He still remembered that His Majesty, Empress Xiuying, was the one who gave him a recommendation letter because he saw a talent in him.
It was such a lifesaver because Commander Huitong was not from a military family. He came from a poor farmer family. He thought he would just be a regular soldier forever.
The commander had a crazy idea in his head, he didn’t know if this was the correct thing to do, but he couldn’t just ignore the condition of his Empress right now.
