The Queen Mother fell silent immediately and looked at the child she had raised since childhood. She had no idea when he had grown up to be so outstanding, with the majestic aura of having been immersed in the throne for more than ten years.
Everything he had should have belonged to her Shen'er!
A neither warm nor cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she sighed, "You don't like to listen to what I say, so forget it, I won't say anymore." She waved her hand, her voice weak.
When the Queen heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "Mother, you are too kind, my daughter-in-law..."
"Your son will take his leave." Emperor Xuan Jing suddenly interrupted the queen. The queen's words were stuck in her throat, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
Emperor Xuan Jing did not hesitate. With an indifferent expression, he bowed to the empress dowager and then left with a wave of his sleeves, leaving very decisively.
The hall suddenly fell into silence.
The queen was in a dilemma, but seeing that the emperor was leaving so resolutely, she did not dare to stay any longer.
The Emperor had already told the Empress Dowager to rest more, so how could she dare to stay here and disturb her? So she took the concubines and left the Cining Palace.
_
After the concubines left, the Queen Mother fiercely flicked the teacup beside her to the ground, her eyes flashing with coldness: "The Emperor is becoming more and more disobedient!"
Nanny Shou really didn't know why the Empress Dowager was against the Emperor. Although the Emperor was not the Empress Dowager's biological son, he was raised by the Empress Dowager since childhood.
Is there no emotion at all?
Although Prince Dun was the Queen Mother's biological son, he was ill after all and was destined not to ascend the throne.
Why hasn’t the Queen Mother given up yet?
The current emperor is wise and capable. Wouldn't it be nice for her to maintain a good relationship with the emperor and serve as her empress dowager peacefully?
She sighed and advised, "Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. Look at this Cining Palace. It's obvious that it's been renovated. This is a sign that the Emperor is thinking of you."
The empress dowager snorted coldly. She was the empress dowager, and the emperor could not neglect her in such a big situation.
But look at the Emperor's cold attitude just now! Is this how a son should treat his mother?!
Thinking of Prince Dun Li Shen who could make her happy, the empress dowager felt relieved. After all, he was not her own son, so there was a layer of emotional distance between them.
It's impossible to tame it.
Since her Shen'er could not be the emperor, she would let Shen'er's son be the emperor.
The throne originally belonged to the emperor.

Hall of Mental Cultivation
The secret guard reported to the emperor: "While the Empress Dowager was in Jing'an Temple, she made two secret trips, both to Prince Dun's residence, each time staying for about half a month. Although the news was kept strictly confidential, according to spies, Prince Dun's wife is already six months pregnant."
Wang Fuhai was shocked. Prince Dun was younger than the emperor, but he already had two daughters. Now the princess was pregnant again... Calculating the date, the empress dowager proposed to go to Jing'an Temple when the princess was pregnant.
Why did the Empress Dowager keep the news of Prince Dun's wife's pregnancy a secret, and even deliberately go to Jing'an Temple under the guise of praying for a child for the Emperor? All these things are terrifying when you think about them carefully.
Wang Fuhai didn't dare to think too much. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression.
Emperor Xuan Jing only felt that his heart had been numbed by the pain. He grew up with the empress dowager, and at first he regarded the empress dowager as his mother.
But the Queen Mother did not regard him as her own son. She had no son of her own, and she had high hopes for Prince Dun. Did she want Prince Dun's son to inherit the throne?
Emperor Xuan Jing sneered. It took him more than ten years to establish the peace and prosperity of the Daqing Dynasty.
Prince Dun wants to gain power by hiding behind his mother. It is simply a dream!
Under the light, the emperor's face flickered. He spoke in a low voice, which was filled with a biting chill. "Pay close attention to Prince Dun's mansion."
After the secret guards retreated, the Yangxin Palace was silent. Emperor Xuan Jing sat there quietly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Wang Fuhai felt sad. Although the emperor seemed indifferent to the empress dowager, wasn't this also a way of protecting himself?
The emperor still has feelings for the empress dowager, otherwise, given his personality, how could he be so indulgent towards Prince Dun.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Fuhai couldn't help but called out softly.
Emperor Xuan Jing pinched his eyebrows, and the splitting headache came back. He was really tired, and at this moment, the first face that appeared in his mind was Bai Susu.
"Go to Qixiang Palace."
-
After Bai Susu came back, she couldn't wait to ask the system about the emperor and the empress dowager.
Tongzi didn't have a bad heart this time and didn't try to earn points, he just told everyone what he knew.
In the end, what did Bai Susu hear?
The Queen Mother is not the Emperor's biological mother?!
Moreover, the emperor's so-called reputation for tyranny was all spread by the empress dowager?
It's a life-threatening situation.
No wonder, she has been with the emperor for so long, and although she feels that the emperor must have a temper, he is the emperor after all, and he has the power of life and death. He is definitely more ruthless than others, and the power he occasionally reveals is also frightening.
But Bai Susu knew that the emperor could definitely not be called tyrannical!
Is this still the Queen Mother?
Oh, yes, Tongzi just said that it was indeed not the queen mother. Although in the eyes of the world, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, and the queen mother has always disguised herself well, but in fact, the emperor's biological mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to him.
The young emperor was adopted by the empress dowager at the time. At that time, she was not yet the empress dowager, but was raised by Concubine Shu.
Because she was still ignorant when she was brought to Concubine Shu, Emperor Xuan Jing even thought that Concubine Shu was his biological mother for a long time.
As for Concubine Shu, she had not been pregnant for five years since entering the palace, and she must have been very happy to have a son for no reason. So she treated Emperor Xuan Jing, also known as Li Yuan, very well at the beginning, and allowed Li Yuan to enjoy some maternal love.
