"Even if Liu is capable, according to ancestral conventions, she is only the Western Empress Dowager, and will still be suppressed by you, the Eastern Empress Dowager!"

The Prime Minister's wife knew that Su Yexi had developed a habit of acting arbitrarily due to the unbridled life in the harem over the years.

From the two battles with Liu Ruyue, in which she lost all her money and even her family was destroyed, the Prime Minister's wife vaguely realized that continuing to oppose Liu Ruyue did not seem to be a good thing.

Their Prime Minister's Office was able to endure humiliation and compromise.

However, she was worried that the Queen Mother in the palace could not do it.

At that time, if the Empress in the palace framed and plotted against Liu Ruyue and was found out, the Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely be implicated.

The lightest punishment is confiscation of property and exile, the worst is skinning of the daylily.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's wife came to the palace this time to persuade the Queen to behave better.

Seeing that the Empress had listened to her words, the Prime Minister's wife continued to advise, "Your Majesty, you are the Empress of Great Zhao, the most noble woman in the world besides the Empress Dowager. There is no need for you to fight with a woman from the common people.

Besides, whether it's Prince Wenxuan's son or Lady Liu's son who ascends the throne, you'll still be the Queen Mother, so why bother?

The words of the Prime Minister's wife finally made the Empress wake up: Yes, what she has always wanted is supreme power. As for who Emperor Zhao loves, does it matter?

After realizing this, the pain on the queen's face faded away, and she returned to her image of a graceful, noble and elegant queen.

The Prime Minister's wife was very satisfied when she saw this. She promised the Queen something before leaving Kunning Palace.

"My lady, it's great that you can figure it out."

When Nanny Zhu saw Su Yexi leisurely practicing calligraphy, she couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, the Queen raised her eyes slightly and sneered, "I don't have to do anything to get everything. Why bother fighting and giving His Majesty an excuse to depose me and make way for Liu?

Besides, why would I have to fight with a woman who gave birth to my prince?"

The vicious look on the queen's face made Nanny Zhu realize that she had set her sights on the child in Liu Ruyue's belly.

That’s right, now in the eyes of the Queen, Liu Ruyue is a woman who will die in childbirth on the day of delivery.

As soon as the child in her belly is born, she will be brought to her biological mother and become her own child, the crown prince of Da Zhao and the future emperor.

Don't ask why the Queen is so sure that Liu Ruyue will give birth to a son.

The question is, everyone in Da Zhao knows that Liu Ruyue might be pregnant with twins. The probability of having a son among the twins is always very high. It is impossible that they are all daughters.

Besides, if she doesn’t have a son, then she can’t create one?

She was already planning to ask Nanny Zhu to find a suitable pregnant woman and wait.

With all these things to do, would she, a future empress dowager, really need to fight with a dying man?

The Queen temporarily gave up the palace fight with Liu Ruyue. The other concubines, led by Concubine Wan, could not even enter the door of Weiyang Palace, and could not fight in the palace even if they wanted to.

In a blink of an eye, two months passed. Liu Ruyue's belly became bigger and the baby in her belly was already six months old.

As time went by, Emperor Zhao's morning sickness was almost gone by the time she was five months pregnant.

Perhaps because he had personally experienced the pain of morning sickness, he could better understand the difficulties of pregnancy for women. Emperor Zhao was particularly fond of the pregnant Liu Ruyue and collected rare treasures from all over the world to send to the Weiyang Palace.

Every time Emperor Zhao saw Jiaojiao'er's starry eyes looking at those treasures, he felt a special sense of accomplishment.

After delivering the treasures once again, Emperor Zhao said to Liu Ruyue:

"Yue'er, the court is much more peaceful now. I want to arrange a job for your father. What do you think?"

Liu Ruyue, who was admiring the luminous cup happily, was shocked when she heard what Emperor Zhao said: Isn't this a backdoor?

Once upon a time, when she was doing scientific research, Liu Ruyue hated this kind of backdoor behavior the most.

But now, when she became the one who got in through the back door, Liu Ruyue felt so happy!

It feels so good to get something for nothing through backdoor channels and bring prosperity to everyone around you.

However, Liu Ruyue could not act so worldly in front of Emperor Zhao. With red eyes and a touching expression, she said to Emperor Zhao:

"Your Majesty, you treat me so well. Not only do you protect me, but you also care about my family. You are truly the best person in the world who treats me well. I will definitely follow the fairy's will and give you ten children."

Emperor Zhao looked at Jiaojiao'er's touched and surprised expression, and he felt an even greater sense of accomplishment in his heart: he had Jiaojiao'er under his control, and he could easily move her to tears by doing anything, and she would hug him and want to have a child for him.

Oh, this damn charm.

However, even though he was clearly full of pride in his heart, Emperor Zhao still had a cold expression on his face, and said in a low, hoarse and magnetic voice:

"You are my woman, so your family is naturally my family too!"

When Liu Ruyue heard Emperor Zhao's domineering words, she secretly sighed in her heart: As expected, old men make people feel safe.

"Oh, there's one more thing. General Helian and his men will be returning to Southern Xinjiang today and will be stationed there. Before they leave, they'd like you, Yue'er, to review the results of their training."

"ah?"

"Let me review it?"

"I can't do that!"

"Your Majesty, the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. As a woman, I absolutely cannot do that!"

…

When Liu Ruyue heard what Emperor Zhao said, she felt unwell: Could this be a trap?

Could it be that someone wanted to take this opportunity to make her have a miscarriage?

After all, the Weiyang Palace was so well protected by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager that not even a mosquito could fly in, and those concubines had no chance to harm her.

Knowing that General Helian and his men had some friendship with Liu Ruyue, she wanted to use General Helian to trick her out?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyue showed an expression of resistance on her face.

There's no way around it. As a former scientific researcher, she's just extra cautious (careless)!!

However, Emperor Zhao didn't know what she was thinking.

He also thought that his daughter Jiaojiao was very sensible and would avoid suspicion.

At that moment, he put his arm around Liu Ruyue's shoulders and promised, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I will go with you."

You don't need to avoid suspicion.

However, when Liu Ruyue heard this, it turned into: Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I will protect you.

Thinking that she had Emperor Zhao as her backer, Liu Ruyue also wanted to go to General Helian and the others to gain their favor.

After all, along the way, including after returning to the palace, General Helian and others took good care of him.

What's more, she will be the queen mother in the future, so she must win over the generals of the Great Zhao in advance!
