Su Lijin's words were full of irony.
But her words were well-reasoned and she spoke with a neither humble nor arrogant demeanor, which made the empress dowager so angry that her face suddenly turned half black.
Just as Su Lijin said, if you want to divorce the queen, you can't do so without sufficient reasons.
Even if it is an ordinary family, if they want to divorce their wife, they have to list the charges with reason and evidence. Otherwise, they will have no legitimate reason and the wife will never divorce!
Xiao Shengxing looked at Su Lijin. These words made a glimmer appear in his dark eyes, and some admiration flashed across his eyes.
The empress dowager was so overwhelmed by Su Lijin's words that she felt a tightness in her chest. She took several deep breaths before she could catch her breath.
She glared at Su Lijin angrily, but Su Lijin had a smile on her lips and looked at her leisurely. The empress dowager was even more furious at her appearance.
"Queen, do you think you can rest easy?" The Queen Mother sneered.
"It's been so long since you entered the palace as queen, and you still don't have any children."
The Queen Mother sneered, her voice full of majesty: "For a queen to have no children is already a big taboo!"
Su Lijin looked at her with an unchanged expression.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the Queen Mother sneered inwardly and said in a louder voice: "This reason is enough to make your position as Queen unsafe. I am leaving this to you."
"Mother." Xiao Shengxing stepped forward, blocking Su Lijin behind him, and said, "The Queen has no children. This is my will."
The Queen Mother frowned: "Your Majesty, please don't make excuses for the Queen."
Su Lijin turned sideways and heard Xiao Shengxing continue, "I didn't want the Queen to suffer the pain of childbirth, so I didn't allow her to have children. This was all my instruction and has nothing to do with the Queen."
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother frowned even more tightly, and looked at Xiao Shengxing with a look full of dissatisfaction.
Xiao Shengxing, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed and emphasized, "Now, Concubine Shu has given birth to a prince. She already has a child and is the most favored in the palace after the Empress. Let's not even talk about the Empress position."
Hearing this, Su Lijin looked thoughtful, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
The Queen Mother on the side did not want to miss this opportunity to fight for it.
Glancing at Su Lijin, the Queen Mother's eyes showed a hint of something else, and she said, "Your Majesty, it's OK if you don't want to change the Queen, but the son of Concubine Shu must be named Crown Prince."
Su Lijin sneered in her heart when she heard this. The Queen Mother was really trying to find ways to weaken her position as Queen.
Last time, he mentioned the idea of making Concubine Shu's son the crown prince, and this time, he mentioned it again. He really wanted to step on her head.
Once Concubine Shu's child is crowned as the crown prince, will she, as the queen, still have any real power and status?
He was just waiting for the position to be taken away bit by bit by Concubine Shu.
The Queen Mother's move is tantamount to cutting off the fuel supply from under the pot. It is really a far-reaching plan!
Su Lijin thought about this and couldn't help but look back at Xiao Shengxing, wondering what his attitude would be at this time.
If Xiao Shengxing agreed...
As long as Xiao Shengxing agrees, the empress dowager will surely be satisfied, and as the emperor, he will surely feel much more relaxed.
But when she thought of this possibility, Su Lijin's brows unconsciously furrowed.
As the two gazes stared at him, Xiao Shengxing decisively shook his head and firmly refused, "I have said that the prince born to Concubine Shu will never be the crown prince. The crown prince can only be the queen's child."
Hearing this again, the Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned completely dark.
She looked at Su Lijin scrutinizingly, and began to think deeply.
The Emperor would now disobey me again and again, which must be related to the Empress.
Time and again, the emperor disobeyed the queen's wishes for her sake, and even often did not give face to the queen dowager. This must have been instigated by the queen.
Thinking of this, the empress dowager narrowed her eyes. The queen had sowed discord between her and the emperor, and must have also sowed discord between the emperor and the concubine.
This is why the emperor would reject Concubine Shu so much.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother had a plan in mind. She snorted coldly and left in a huff.
Su Lijin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Queen Mother leave. She finally didn't have to deal with nitpicking and felt so relieved.
She didn't know that after the empress dowager left, she went all the way to Shufei's Yiku Palace.
Everyone in the Yiku Palace hurried to welcome the Queen Mother. Concubine Shu personally stepped forward with a look of joy and helped the Queen Mother sit down. The entire palace was filled with joy because of the Queen Mother's arrival.
The Queen Mother was very pleased to see everyone busy and happy because of her arrival, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"Queen Mother, let me give you a shoulder massage. You look very tired these days."
Concubine Shu smiled flatteringly and gently squeezed the empress dowager's shoulders with her hands.
She spoke very sweetly and could usually make the empress dowager laugh from ear to ear. At this moment, after listening to her words, the empress dowager nodded with satisfaction.
Thinking of the Queen Su Lijin, she immediately recalled the frustration she felt when she was blocked and had no place to vent her anger. She snorted heavily, "I think this Queen is really unreasonable. She is not as sensible and considerate as you, Concubine Shu."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu's eyes flashed, and she thought that the Queen had probably angered the Queen Mother again. She was delighted and immediately said with a hint of meaning: "Queen Mother, the Queen's status is respected, so it is inevitable that she has some temper. Please bear with me."
The Queen Mother sneered, "How can I bear with her? Is my status not as high as hers? Do I need to be humble to her?"
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Concubine Shu lowered her eyes softly, hiding the smile of success in her eyes.
"Shufei, do you want to win the emperor's favor?" After a moment, the empress dowager suddenly said.
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Of course I do, but the Emperor doesn't favor me."
Asking the maid to bring something over, the Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said, "This is something I never share with anyone else. If you light it, the Emperor will definitely become addicted once he smells it. As long as you seize the opportunity, this favor will be yours alone in the future."
