Although Rong Zhou was ill, his eyes were very bright.
He looked at Su Wanti, was silent for a moment, and said, "You did the right thing. The prince is not yet of age, so he should have reliable people to assist him. Disloyal people cannot be kept."
"Your Majesty, don't you blame me?"
"You are doing this to ensure the Crown Prince's smooth ascension to the throne and to avoid unrest in the court. We have the same goal, so why should I blame you?"
Rong Zhou shook Su Wanti's hand back.
"I know my body well. I've reached my limit."
"What I worry about most is whether my kingdom can be smoothly passed to the Crown Prince. What I fear most is that the throne will be taken away by someone else, and you, the prince, the princess, and the concubines in the harem will be harmed by treacherous people, living in fear every day and suffering."
"I overcame all odds and allowed you to participate in government affairs so that you could become familiar with government affairs in advance, assist the Crown Prince, and stabilize the government."
"Now, you can overthrow the prime minister with your own strength, which shows that you have worked hard over the years. I am very pleased."
Hearing this, Su Wanti blinked slightly and her nose felt sore.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me." Su Wanti's eyes flickered.
Su Wanti understood that Rong Zhou had already started planning for her.
His kindness to her was not in the form of noble status, luxurious clothing, or long-lasting favor.
It's better to give her power so that she can use it to benefit herself.
The former way is like pampering a kitten or a puppy. Her fate is completely in his hands and depends on him. If anything happens to him, she will be like duckweed, with a worrying fate and no control over her own life.
The latter method will allow her to control her own destiny and not be like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Su Wanti rested her head on Rong Zhou's knees, her face turned to the side, tears streaming down her face.
After seventeen years of companionship, how could there be no true love?
She couldn't bear to leave him.
Rong Zhou was very calm. He said calmly, "The Crown Prince is diligent and studious. His virtues show that he will be a good emperor. With you and the princess as his assistants, I am relieved."
"Your Majesty, do you know everything?"
In the past few years, Su Wanti and the princess have worked together to do many things.
But in front of others, the two of them pretended to be distant and polite.
They didn't want outsiders to know about their relationship, and they didn't want anyone with ulterior motives to notice what they were doing.
When Rong Zhou mentioned the princess, his eyes lit up and he smiled lovingly, "You are my pillow, and the princess is my daughter. How could I not know about the two of you?"
"In the past, I only wanted the princess to find a capable and virtuous consort, so that she could live a happy life with her parents looking after her and a loving couple. Now that I think about it, I was narrow-minded."
"In the past few years, I realized that the princess prefers her current life. She can travel around and pursue her ambitions without any scruples."
"I am very proud that she can still contribute to our great cause."
"I have no regrets. I only hope that you can assist the Crown Prince and secure his throne."
Su Wanti listened quietly. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that Rong Zhou would see her crying.
"Yeah." She answered softly.
This short "hmm" was like a red-hot iron, leaving an indelible mark on her heart.
This is her promise to Rong Zhou. She will try her best to fulfill it and not let Rong Zhou down.

Five days later, the emperor died.
The prince ascended the throne.
The Prince of Xiang rebelled, but was quickly suppressed by the army.
The previous dynasty had the support of the queen's mother's family and the support of the Su family's children, so the court was stable.
Outside, with the princess in charge, everything is peaceful and stable.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he named the empress the Eastern Queen Mother and Su Wanti the Western Queen Mother.
The eldest princess is the princess who protects the country.
That year, Su Wanti was only 33 years old.
She served as the empress dowager for another forty years, and watched Daqi rise to prosperity step by step under the leadership of her son.
Finally, he died of old age.

After passing through this small world, Su Wanti returned to the multidimensional world management office.
The system is already waiting for Su Wanti at the management office.
Su Wanti seemed to be dreaming. When she opened her eyes, she felt that everything in front of her was unreal and she looked dazed.
[Host, you are still immersed in small world No. 0203 and haven't completely escaped from it.]
The familiar voice of the system sounded in Su Wanti's ears.
Su Wanti closed her eyes again, and only opened them when she felt her consciousness was clear again.
"Finally back." She breathed a sigh of relief.
"92, long time no see."
"Show me quickly, how many points did I get after completing this mission?"
[Host, this time you gave birth to three children for the Son of Fortune, and earned points for the main quest.
Side quest, revenge for the original owner, gain points,
Complete reward missions, make allies, do good deeds, etc. to earn 2,000 points.
After deducting the cost of props,
Host, you still have points. 】
[Host, you have a lot of points, you can't spend them all.]
Su Wanti smiled and said, "That's true, but I do tasks to earn points, not to spend them."
"Forget it, I'll rest for a few days. You can go down first. I'll call you when I'm rested."
Every time Su Wanti finished a task and returned to the management office, she would feel exhausted.
So, every time she would take a good rest in the sanatorium of the management office.
The management office’s sanatorium has natural oceans, beaches, hot springs, beautiful green mountains and waters, and countless delicacies.
Su Wanti spent ten days leisurely and happily in the sanatorium.
It was not until she lay there until all the bones in her body were about to become weak that she called the system out.
