As for why the Empress remained silent, she recalled that someone had reported this morning that they had seen Princess Jun go to Taihe Gate. While it was certainly to make the Empress Dowager dislike Zhao Shu, this person was brought there by her son. Those wretches had finally decided that life was too good and dared to plant someone by her son's side.
At this point, the Empress was already sharpening her knives in anticipation of her revenge.

"With you in the palace, I can rest assured." The Empress Dowager understood what she meant and didn't say anything. In fact, the Empress Dowager was a good mother-in-law to the Empress.
