The emperor knew how the empress dowager felt. They, mother and son, felt the same way. At this moment, the emperor was deeply frightened.
Last night, everything was too thrilling.
"Minghua is also involved, right?" the Queen Mother continued to ask.
The emperor nodded.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply, her eyes filled with disappointment and sadness.
"How does the Emperor intend to deal with this matter?"
The emperor spoke after thinking for a while.
"Concubine Li is dead, but plotting to murder the heir to the throne is a serious crime. I intend to deal severely with all her family members and execute them directly to serve as a warning to others. This will prevent anyone in the court or the harem from having any further thoughts."
The Queen Mother nodded, "That's good."
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, then she asked, "So what does the Emperor plan to do with Minghua?"
"What do you think, mother?" The emperor was undecided.
He had very few children, and at his current age, he only had one son and one daughter.
The prince had just been born and was premature.
The child mortality rate was already very high, and the emperor himself was not sure that his prince would grow up.
He did not reveal the hidden worries in his heart at all, let alone say them out loud.
He loved the prince too much, and if he expressed these concerns, the emperor was even afraid that it would become a curse and be harmful to the child.
But if something really happens to the child in the future, and he executes Minghua, he will have no descendants in this world.
The Queen Mother twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, a struggle evident on her face. Finally, she made a decision: "Leave Minghua alive, and leave the rest to Concubine De. This time, she's the one who suffers."
"Xu gave birth to your only prince. This is her contribution. We must not let her down. Besides, you may not only have this one child in the future."
The Empress Dowager still hoped that Xu Lingyi could continue to give birth.
Having a prince is something we should thank God and our ancestors for.
But people are like this, once they have one thing they want more, and one prince is always too risky.
This means that the child cannot have any accidents, but the child is premature, which makes him look too thin.
She didn't even dare to reach out and hug him.
Moreover, many normal full-term children born in wealthy families can still die from a cold even if they are carefully cared for, not to mention that he has not been vaccinated yet.
"If Minghua wants to blame someone, blame me." The Queen Mother only intended to spare her life, and the rest depended on how Concubine De would deal with her.
The Queen Mother sighed, "From tomorrow on, I will be even more devout to the Buddha, praying only that my grandson will grow up safely, free from illness and disaster. I also pray that God will bless me and allow Xu to give me more grandchildren."

"Your Majesty, you want me to decide how to deal with Princess Minghua?"
Xu Lingyi didn't expect that the emperor would give her the decision-making power.
"This is what I and my mother want. Just spare her life."
After being surprised, Xu Lingyi became embarrassed. She didn't know how to deal with Princess Minghua.
In fact, she already knew in her heart that Princess Minghua would not be sentenced to death.
She had never thought that she would die so early and so easily, and she even spared the life of her enemy Li Xu.
She wanted these people to watch her live as well as possible, to watch her ascend to a high position, hold power, and step by step become the queen, queen mother, or even... a higher position.
Only then will she torture them to death.
