After Emperor Yuanwu finished speaking, he called Wu Jixiang in: "Issue an imperial decree that, without my imperial edict, Empress Huang is forbidden from approaching the Seventh Princess. The Empress is unwell and should stay in Yikun Palace to recuperate for the time being. Summon Master Wuyu to the palace to chant sutras to calm the Seventh Princess's nerves."
Wu Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then knelt on one knee: "Yes!"
Mu Qianqian: ? ? ?
This...this is it!?
Just now, she saw that Emperor Yuanwu showed no intention of punishing the Empress.
Although some of the imperial physicians were withdrawn.
However, he also left behind Li Taiyi's capable disciples to serve in Yikun Palace.
The Empress is not ill.
He clearly desires the position of crown prince and has fallen ill from worry.
However, on the other hand...
It has to be her, Mother!
Normally, she seems gentle and kind.
She's a true master of palace intrigue.
This is much more impressive than the female leads in the palace dramas she had watched before.
It's just mindless crying and complaining.
In reality, every word he uttered was a cry on the edge of a knife.
As expected of her, Mother!
Mu Qianqian admired Consort Shu from the bottom of her heart!
A surge of pride and self-satisfaction instantly filled me.
The imperial physician didn't arrive, but the Empress Dowager came first.
The Empress Dowager came in a powerful manner, looking as if she were there to demand an explanation.
"May Your Majesty the Empress Dowager be blessed with good fortune, may Your Majesty live a thousand years!" Consort Shu frowned deeply, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.
The Empress Dowager never visited Qiluan Garden.
Why did you come in person today?
And it just so happened that it happened right before the Empress's time...
"Consort Shu, how dare you!" The Empress Dowager had just settled into her seat when she slammed her hand on the table: "Do you know your crime?"
"Your Majesty, I truly have no fault whatsoever," Consort Shu knelt tremblingly on the ground.
"Empress Dowager." Emperor Yuanwu moved his lips, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, I know you love Consort Shu and favor her, but there must be a limit to how much you love a concubine. The Empress is still the Empress. Over the years, no matter which concubine you favored, the Empress never complained. How can you make things difficult for the Empress every day and cause her trouble because of a concubine?" the Empress Dowager said with emotion.
After she finished speaking, she glared at Consort Shu, who was kneeling on the ground: "The selection process will begin in a few days. Do you expect all the young women in the country to see you coming and going with a concubine by your side? What kind of decorum is that?"
"Mother, it's actually..."
Emperor Yuanwu wanted to say something.
He was interrupted again by the Empress Dowager.
She didn't give Emperor Yuanwu a chance to speak, and her words of reproach came crashing down on Consort Shu.
"This is the first and last time I'm warning you: fulfill your duties as a concubine. If I find out you have other intentions, you'll never be able to leave this Qiluan Garden again, and neither will your four children."
"Your Majesty, I dare not." Consort Shu said in fear, "Your Majesty, I have never coveted the Empress's position. I only wish to raise these children peacefully and serve Your Majesty well."
"I hope so," the Empress Dowager said coldly.
The Queen let out a long sigh of relief.
She had just gotten up to leave.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a baby babbling.
She lowered her head, following the direction of the sound.
A soft, adorable little dumpling had somehow crawled up to her feet and was tugging at her clothes with its tiny, white hands.
Emperor Yuanwu hurriedly stood up.
However, the Empress Dowager was one step ahead of him, pulling Mu Qianqian into her arms.
Even though the Empress Dowager was angry with Consort Shu.
