Chapter 1108: Chapter 1109: Leaving

He immediately rushed into the room, but when he looked around, he found that there were only two palace maids wiping vases and not the figure he wished to see.

One palace maid noticed that Xiaoye was looking for Nan Feng and Xiaobao and finally could not help but tell him the truth, "Your Highness Prince Qi, the Great Prince’s Consort has already been arranged by Consort De to leave the Palace."

"Where did she go?" Xiaoye was, at that moment, surprisingly calm.

Perhaps when a person reaches a certain level of pain, they no longer display a pained expression. Besides, he was already exhausted, and now, without Nan Feng and Xiaobao, he felt as if he was left with nothing but an empty shell.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, this servant does not know. You may have to ask Consort De, she arranged it," the maid finished speaking and then ran off with a panic-stricken face.

Xiaoye sat in the room for a very long time, all the way until it got dark, and then he slowly walked into Consort De’s sleeping quarters.

Consort De had just returned from seeing the Emperor, and upon seeing Xiaoye’s dispirited appearance, she couldn’t help feeling guilty. However, she also coughed and gathered her composure, believing after all, that this was the best path she had laid out for her own son.

Xiaoye slowly approached Consort De, his appearance unkempt from several days of attending to the Emperor, and now having learned that Nan Feng and Xiaobao had been sent away, he looked suddenly much older, devoid of his usual spirit.

"Xiaoye, what’s happened to you?" Consort De stepped forward to ask.

But Xiaoye just looked at Consort De and then slowly began to speak, "Mother, you have always said that you wanted to make up for the maternal love I’ve been missing all these years. Yet, I’ve emphasized more than once the importance of Nan Feng and Xiaobao to me, but still, you sent away the most important people to me. Mother, I thought you understood what love is."

Consort De listened to Xiaoye’s reproach, and it felt as though her heart was being cut to pieces. She took a deep breath, "Xiaoye, what Mother is giving you is the best in the world, the most worthy of you."

Xiaoye smiled faintly, "So, to Mother, the best things are this kingdom, the daughter of the Minister Jiang’s family? Mother, you and Father have loved each other for so many years, but you still do not understand what love is. I have said before, I have no desire for the throne. I have been attending court with Father these days, to relieve his worries, all as a way to show filial piety and repay him. But how come you never ask me what it is that I truly want?"

"But now that Nan Feng and her daughter have been sent away, do you plan on bringing them back? Or..." Consort De had already thought of the worst outcome.

Indeed, just as Nan Feng had said, the ones he couldn’t part with were them, mother and daughter.

"Mother, I plan to go find Nan Feng. I promised her that wherever she is, I will be there," Xiaoye’s gaze was extremely firm.

Tears suddenly fell from Consort De’s eyes, "But Xiaoye, if you do this, it will be hard for you to see Father and me again in the future."

Xiaoye was equally sad, "But Mother cannot tolerate Nan Feng and Xiaobao. How can Xiaoye comfortably leave them with Mother and Father? Daily intrigue and scheming fill the inner Palace; I think Nan Feng does not like such a life, and Xiaobao will not either."
