Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately snorted coldly.

"You're just fooling yourself. Ask yourself, do you really believe that?"

"Take this palace, how many people know about 'Eternal Night'?"

The Empress Dowager knew Emperor Rongcheng's temperament and knew she couldn't push him too far, so she simply sighed and changed the subject.

"I know that you hold a grudge against Hechuan because of the Empress's matter."

"But there were other hidden circumstances surrounding what happened back then. Do you intend to affect the legitimacy of my Great Cheng because of this?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng was furious.

His face turned cold, and disregarding the fact that the person in front of him was the Empress Dowager, he immediately roared in anger.

"Shut up!"

His face was pale, his eyes bulged, and even his voice was hoarse with anger.

"I have said that this matter has nothing to do with Consort Hui, nothing to do with her."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly lowered, as if he had lost all his strength, and he added another sentence.

"It has nothing to do with...her."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager could only sigh softly and dared not say anything more.

She sat there for a long time, until Emperor Rongcheng left, then she slowly stood up and sighed again.

These are all grudges from the previous generation.

This made her think of Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan now.

She almost forgot.

Gu Jingchun is now Luo Ziqian's fiancée.

This matter must be handled properly, otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that they won't end up like the couple in Rongcheng, becoming a pair of resentful lovers!

Meanwhile, in the capital city of Tiandu...

Prince Rui's sword was placed against Gu Jingchun's neck.

Seeing this, Gu Jingchun smiled and slowly uttered two words.

"OK!"
