Chapter 580: Fanning the flames, the same choice
Luo was stunned for a moment, and tightly grasped the Fourth Prince's arm, "What did you just say?"
"Mother, your son is here to take you out of the cold palace! The emperor has already issued an edict to make you a beloved wife, and you don't have to stay in the cold palace anymore!" The fourth prince repeated it in more detail.
"Are you telling the truth?" Mrs. Luo couldn't believe it and thought she was hallucinating.
"It's true, mother, absolutely true!" The Fourth Prince nodded solemnly.
Luo was extremely excited and hugged the Fourth Prince tightly, "Mother has finally waited for this day! Mother knew that I would be able to leave this cold palace in this lifetime!"
"Mother, it's getting late today. You should rest in the Queen Mother's palace for one night. Tomorrow morning, you will return to the palace that the Queen Mother has prepared for you."
"Okay, mother will also go and thank the Queen Mother."
The Fourth Prince helped Luo to the Queen Mother's palace. When the Queen Mother saw Luo's current appearance, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Thank you so much for rescuing me from the cold palace. I will never forget this kindness! In this life, I am willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen Mother as her slave!" Luo immediately expressed her loyalty.
"Fourth Prince, quickly help your mother up. Look how long it has taken her to become like this! Alas, she was such a bright and beautiful person back then!" The Queen Mother's tone was filled with heartache.
Thinking about her own experience, Luo couldn't help crying.
"Don't think about the unpleasant things. Although you are a good man now, you are not without support as you have me and the Fourth Prince. You will definitely not let anyone treat you arbitrarily again."
"Thank you, Queen Dowager, for your mercy!" Luo immediately pulled the Fourth Prince's arm, and the Fourth Prince knelt down.
"Empress Dowager, if you hadn't helped us, we would still be trapped in the abyss, with no hope of survival. We will always remember this kindness and will repay you! From now on, we will follow your teachings and never let you down for giving us a new life."
"Get up quickly." The Queen Mother raised her hand.
The old nanny beside her immediately stepped forward and helped Luo up.
"Luo, you are smart. You must know why I saved you and your son. I just hope that the Fourth Prince can become the Crown Prince. Not only will I do my best to help the Fourth Prince, but the Cao family will also be the Fourth Prince's solid backing. When the Fourth Prince becomes the Crown Prince in the future, just don't forget the kindness of me and the Cao family in raising him up."
"My Queen Mother, I will never forget your kindness! As long as I can become the Crown Prince, the Cao family will surely become the most powerful and noble family in Daxia! I will bring the Cao family supreme glory!"
"Okay, I feel relieved after hearing your words." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
The Fourth Prince settled Luo down and returned to his own bedroom.
A young palace maid immediately came forward to help him change his clothes.
When her hand untied the Fourth Prince's belt, the Fourth Prince immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her from behind to the front.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince." The palace maid raised her head and looked at the Fourth Prince lovingly.
"Susu, you are right. As soon as I went to ask the Queen Mother for help, she rescued my mother from the cold palace. Thanks to you, I was able to rescue my mother from the cold palace. I should thank you very much."
"Your Highness, it is Susu's blessing to be able to serve you. Susu's heart will always be with Your Highness. I only hope that Your Highness can have sympathy for Susu's sincerity."
"Of course I know your affection for me. When I become the crown prince, I will definitely give you a title."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The Fourth Prince's hands were tightly around Susu's waist, and under the candlelight, there was a hint of lust in his eyes.
"Your Highness, I have one more thing to remind you of."
"What's the matter? Let's go to bed and talk slowly."
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be taken lightly. Although the Queen is still under house arrest, she must have heard about your mother's imprisonment. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it and will do something bad to your mother."
"At first, when the Third Prince was poisoned, it had nothing to do with my mother! Later, when the Third Prince attended a banquet at the Crown Prince's Mansion and was poisoned again, it had nothing to do with my mother! It was a trap set by them!"
"Yes, but it has been so long since the incident happened. Even if the Fourth Prince wants to investigate the matter, I am afraid he will not be able to find any evidence. I just feel sorry for him." Su Su's hand deliberately touched the wound on the Fourth Prince's body.
"The Fourth Prince was assassinated, and it was obviously done by the Queen and the Third Prince, but the Emperor did not punish them. Also, when Concubine Cao was killed, the Queen Mother was so angry that she killed so many of the Queen's spies in the harem, but the Emperor did not do as the Queen Mother said and depose the Queen, and the Third Prince was not punished at all. They are both sons, but the Emperor's attitude is too different."
These words just happened to touch the most sensitive chord in the Fourth Prince's heart.
He and the Third Prince had been fighting overtly and secretly since they were young. It was obvious that he was better than the Third Prince in every way, but his father refused to make him the Crown Prince, and the position of Crown Prince remained vacant for so many years!
If it weren't for the Queen Mother, he couldn't even imagine what would happen to him!
"In fact, there is a permanent solution." Susu's voice was full of temptation.
"What method?"
"Get rid of the third prince!"
The Fourth Prince's eyes darkened, staring at Su Su, and asked in a deep voice: "There are so many people around the Third Prince, how easy is it to get rid of him?"
"I have heard something. The Third Prince's concubine is pregnant! Because of Concubine Cao's incident, she is afraid that the Queen Mother will be angry with her and her unborn child, so she dares not reveal the fact that she is pregnant and is secretly taking care of the baby. Moreover, she is planning to go to the temple to pray for a peace amulet for her unborn child without telling the Queen Mother. When the time comes, the Third Prince will secretly accompany her. This will be a good opportunity to get rid of the Third Prince."
"Is the news reliable?" asked the Fourth Prince in a deep voice.
"I guarantee it with my own head, I am very reliable!"
"Great! He can kill me, so why can't I kill him! If he dies, there will be no one to compete with me anymore!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as the Third Prince dies, Your Highness's position will become more and more stable. You still have the Queen Mother's support! If the Third Prince really dies, Your Highness will be able to vent the Queen Mother's anger."
"You are right!" The Fourth Prince had completely taken it to heart.
Although the Fourth Prince seems to be helpless on the surface.
After all, the Luo family was one of the most powerful families in Daxia, and they had secretly trained many disciples, secret guards and assassins.
However, after the Luo family fell, these people could only hide in the dark.
