In reality, Hongli wasn't angry at all, but since she had said that, he had no choice but to feign anger and sigh in disappointment:

"I only have your and your daughter's best interests at heart, but you mistakenly think I want to separate you two. It's truly heartbreaking!"

"Feeling cold? Then let me warm you up!" As she spoke, Su Yushan took the initiative to hug him, smiled gently at him, her watery eyes sparkling.

She had almost cried just now, and although she held it back, tears still welled up in her eyes. This tender sight touched Hongli's heart, and he could no longer utter any harsh words.

"I'll let it go since you're worried about your daughter. Make me some soup tonight, and I'll forgive you."

Is it that simple? To prevent him from changing his mind, Su Yushan replied crisply, "Okay! What kind of soup would you like?"

He was picky about the imperial cuisine, but he never complained about the food Yu Shan cooked.

"Whatever you like, it's up to you. I'll like anything you make."

The two chatted and laughed, and there was no more unpleasantness between them.

Hongli then began to make arrangements and implement his plan.

The Empress Dowager thought the matter was settled because her son agreed so readily, but unexpectedly, another accident occurred in the end!

According to custom, when a child is entrusted to the empress or concubine for upbringing, the birth dates and times of both the child and the concubine are calculated.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau performed a divination for the Empress and the Second Princess, but the result was not ideal.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau official said that the Empress had a noble destiny, but unfortunately she was destined to have no children. Any child she raised would have a hard time growing up.

Considering that both of the Empress's children had died young, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but begin to suspect the Empress.

Could it be that the one who caused the deaths of the eldest princess and the second prince was not Yonghuang, but Yuying herself?
