The Queen Mother looked at Mu Sili in confusion. She had really become a different person. In the past, she would only serve her carefully, and she would never be so unruly like now.

But even if she became a different person, in her eyes, she was the niece of the Ulanara family, and she would never be able to obtain a high position in her life.

"Empress Xian, you are so bold! I am the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's biological mother. Who gave you the courage to treat me like this?

You have openly attacked me. I think it is best for you to relinquish your position as Consort Xian, lest you bring bad consequences to the other concubines and bring discredit to the Emperor."

"If you insist on saying so, then I have something to say. The Emperor wanted to make me a noble concubine, but you stopped me and made me Consort Xian.

If you insist on doing so, I will not sit on the position of Concubine Xian. At most, I will ask the emperor to let me be a noble concubine from now on.

"Look at my memory. I recently heard the name Li Jingui, and it sounded very familiar. I wonder if the Empress Dowager knows who this person is? If the Empress Dowager doesn't know, I can ask the Emperor."

Li Jingui?

The Queen Mother's face turned visibly pale. How did this woman, Mu Sili, know this name?

She had imprisoned someone before Hongli was born, just to kill the mother and keep the son. She actually did it, and she became the winner with his help.

Whenever she thought of the late queen, she felt proud. After all, the late queen was a candidate for the empress dowager, but she was fought so hard that she only had the title of queen throughout her life.

I thought this name would die with her, but I didn't expect it to be mentioned by Mu Sili today.

Since she knew the name, did it mean that the emperor also knew about it?

The relationship between mother and son had already been damaged because of her. If he knew that she had killed his biological mother, her position as queen mother would definitely be in jeopardy.

"What Li Jingui? I've never heard of this name. Stop talking nonsense here. I'm clearly talking about you attacking me."

"What are you talking about, Queen Mother? I was just curious when I heard the name. Why do you look like you want to eat me? It's scary.

If you haven't heard of this name, forget it. I'll ask the Queen later. The Emperor loves me anyway, so if I ask, he'll definitely tell me."

For a moment, the Queen Mother wanted to get rid of Mu Sili, it was too terrible, but she didn't dare. If she touched her now, she would be retaliated.

"I didn't expect you to change so much that you even dared to threaten me. Don't forget that the emperor was able to sit on the throne because of me.

I didn't come here today to talk nonsense with you. Just remember this: as long as I am here, you can never dream of taking a position that doesn't belong to you.

The position of queen belongs to Fucha. You entered the palace as a concubine from the beginning, and you can only be a concubine in the future.

No matter how much the emperor dotes on you, you will still be a concubine in the end. I am the winner of the last palace fight, and my words are the truth.

As for the name I just mentioned, I advise you to forget it quickly, otherwise if something happens, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

"It seems that the Queen Mother is well aware that even if I become the Queen, I may not be able to sit on the throne of the Queen Mother. I will follow the Queen Mother's instructions.

Don't worry, I will not tell Your Majesty who Li Jingui is for the time being. After all, I have only heard of this name.

It is not a good idea to tell the emperor about the other person before confirming his identity. However, if someone makes me unhappy, I will make a fuss.

Since you have heard what I did in Kunning Palace today, you should know that I have awakened. Now that I have awakened, I will naturally not swallow my anger like before."

The Queen Mother clenched her hands tightly. What she hated most in her life was being threatened.

Ever since she took the throne of the empress dowager, no one dared to act arrogantly in front of her. Even the emperor treated her with respect. But today, she was humiliated by Mu Sili.

She hated and wished that Mu Sili would die on the spot, but since she mentioned the name Li Jingui, she must know something.

She couldn't do anything to her until she was sure how much she knew. Otherwise, if she had a backup plan, she, the queen mother, would be the one who would suffer.

The emperor was indeed filial, but she couldn't afford the gamble.

"I underestimated you. I want to see what happens if you become a changed person. There are many shady tricks in the harem. I don't believe you can avoid them all."

"Then let's... wait and see."

The Empress Dowager left Chengqian Palace in a rage. When Emperor Qianlong arrived, Mu Sili was almost asleep.

"What's going on? Did the Empress Dowager give you any trouble? You're such a fool! You promised to control your temper for me, but you still couldn't help it."

"Your Majesty, I didn't hear clearly what you said. Are you going to control your temper? I have to tell you, I still want to bear children for you. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm worried that you'll be harmed by them, aren't I? Don't you know what this harem is like?"

"You are just worrying for nothing. I can protect myself. I indulged myself a little today and I feel much better.

The imperial physician once said that I am in good health, which means that I can give birth to a child. If I can give birth to a child, why should I allow myself to be bullied by them?

You don't know how gossipy those women are. They actually said I was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. I'm not happy, very unhappy."

Qianlong was also very puzzled. Whether in the Qiandi Residence or after entering the palace, he favored her the most, but she just couldn't get pregnant.

Sometimes he thought there was something wrong with her body that was why she couldn't get pregnant, but the imperial physician had examined her many times and said there was nothing wrong, so he could only let nature take its course.

Now that I think about it, mood can also affect conception. Since she is so happy, let her be.

"I understand. Since you like it, then I'll do as you wish. But didn't the Empress give you a hard time just now? She doesn't like you, and I'm worried she'll do something bad to you later."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Empress Dowager wouldn't dare to do anything to me. I have you to protect me. Everything will be fine."

Qianlong smiled helplessly. He looked so arrogant just now, but now he looked like he was relying on him wholeheartedly. He didn't know what to say.

"I am your husband, your heaven, and I will naturally protect you. From now on, you can do whatever you want. Even if it means beating up someone who breaks the rules, it doesn't matter. I will cover for you."

"Huh? Your Majesty, do you mean that if the Imperial Concubine doesn't behave properly, I can take action too? If so, that would be wonderful. The Imperial Concubine said today that I was possessed by a ghost, and I'm not happy."

The corner of Qianlong's mouth twitched. The imperial concubine was a little silly, but she had a good heart. There was no need to hit her, right?
