"It's because Your Majesty the Empress has no children."
"You need me to help you seize the throne and bring down Consort Shu!"
Consort Liang trembled with fright and covered Mu Junyao's mouth on tiptoe.
"Your Highness, you've had too much to drink. You mustn't say such treasonous things again."
"Her Majesty the Empress took you in because she saw how pitiful you were since you lost your mother at a young age."
“You were so young back then, how could you possibly have had other thoughts?”
Mu Junyao swayed unsteadily.
Consort Liang wasn't sure if he understood what she was saying.
He almost fell over because he seemed dazed.
Consort Liang used almost all her strength to help him to a chair and sit down.
The instant Mu Junyao sat down.
She started rambling on again: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely make sure you live the life you want in the future."
Consort Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that Mu Junyao, with his unrestrained tongue, might do something drastic in the Empress's rage.
"Your Majesty, look, the eldest prince is almost asleep. Why don't we go back first? There's no use saying anything now. Let's wait until he sobers up before we properly discipline him," Consort Liang advised from the side.
She really didn't want to stay in this prince's place for even a second longer.
Has the eldest prince gone mad?
They can say anything and everything.
If these words were to reach Emperor Yuanwu's ears today...
The eldest prince and empress are truly doomed.
It seems she will also be implicated.
What a terrible thing!
Why am I so unlucky today?
She must have had too much to do to think of paying her respects to the Empress today.
Now it's all right.
She felt like she was caught in the middle, neither side being a good person.
She walked ahead without saying a word.
Consort Liang followed behind, glancing at her every now and then.
"Your Majesty, you wouldn't really be angry with a child, would you?"
Consort Liang took the Empress's arm in a somewhat ingratiating manner.
"Although this eldest prince is the eldest son, he is still quite young. We can teach him slowly and he will eventually understand your good intentions. He was just drunk today and that's why he was talking nonsense. We'll teach him a lesson when he sobers up."
teach!?
She is willing to teach.
Does that mean he'll definitely be willing to learn?
Actually, from the very beginning.
He never truly regarded her as his mother.
He always thought she was just using him.
Does he really not know?
There can only be one throne.
If it falls into the hands of others.
Did he really think he could live a peaceful life on his fiefdom?
Every day in the harem is like walking on thin ice.
But Mu Junyao is someone you can never truly understand.
Why would Mu Junxi have two such governesses?
It was all because she had been paving the way for him all along.
The Empress felt only a chill in her heart.
Is it not rightful for him, the eldest son of the emperor, to be crown prince and inherit the throne?
Is he really so willing to submit to others?
In fact, Mu Junyao made a very good point.
If only she had known it would end like this.
She must have made him go to be with his mother back then, and made him the most filial prince in the world.
This Mu Junyao takes himself way too seriously.
When a new batch of young women entered the palace and had children...
Regardless of which child inherits the throne, she will always be the esteemed Empress Dowager.
What else is going on with him...?
Consort Liang spoke for a long time, but the Empress remained silent.
She turned to look at the Empress, her fingertips pausing sharply: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
