Empress Xu said to the Empress, "Ningbi, go and keep an eye on things. We must not panic, especially at times like these. Make sure everyone below is on high alert."

Ningbi bowed in agreement, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if others make a move, what will we do..."

Empress Xu said with a half-smile, "We... will just watch."

Although she was smiling, Ningbi inexplicably felt that her mistress's smile looked bloodthirsty.

Empress Xu is able to refrain from personally taking up a knife and chopping up that vile woman Zhou and her bastard child because she is afraid of ruining His Majesty's and her son's plans.

They were afraid that this would arouse the suspicion of the divine artifact master and the little immortal lord; otherwise, the mother and daughter wouldn't even survive until tomorrow.

The Crown Prince recounted everything he had heard at the morning court session to her in detail, but when he heard that in the original timeline, her Crown Prince was poisoned by Zhou Shi and her bastard son, he nearly fainted from anger.

If it weren't for the Crown Prince's repeated reassurances and the fact that nothing actually happened, she really felt she could have torn that bitch Zhou Yunxin to shreds on the spot.

"Ningbi, and Ningxin, both of you help me think of something to send to the Young Master."

She couldn't express her gratitude openly, but sending some gifts shouldn't be a problem. After all, she and the Empress Dowager, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, would give the Junior Tutor nice things every now and then, so the Junior Tutor shouldn't suspect that these were gifts of thanks.

"Let's go open the storeroom and pick out more so we can send them out slowly later," Empress Xu suddenly said, her interest piqued.

She really couldn't sit still, otherwise, as soon as she sat down, she would think of her son's words, and she couldn't get over it.
