At the foot of the steps, all the concubines and civil and military officials knelt down to congratulate—
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of a prince and princess! May all three of you continue to enjoy long-lasting blessings and good health!"
Xuan Ling raised his hand and said majestically, "Stand up."
After everyone took their seats, the sound of stringed instruments began and dancers danced gracefully.
The Queen Mother looked at Yu Chen gravely, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
——With the late emperor’s secret decree, Xuan Ling dare not disobey. From today onwards, Yu Chen will definitely be raised by her!
Sheng Xiyan noticed her gaze and tightened her fingertips slightly.
Xuan Ling's expression remained normal, but his eyes were slightly cold.
After a stick of incense, a cry of surprise was heard—
"Rong Guiyi! Rong Guiyi!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Rong Guiyi's face was pale, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his lips, and his body was shaking!
Yu Mo was horrified and rushed over to hug her: "Mother! Mother! What's wrong with you?!"
During this brief moment of near-death experience, a thought flashed through Rong Guiyi's mind like lightning—
Could it be that the Queen Mother... wanted to get rid of her so that she wouldn't get in the way?!
She gave a bitter laugh, clenched Yu Mo's hand, and breathed faintly, "Yu Mo... from now on... you must obey the words of the Imperial Grandmother and Consort Jia... remember?"
Xuan Ling watched coldly, his eyes calm.
Everything was as he expected.
Rong Guiyi struggled to look at him and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...I beg you...to agree...to give Yu Mo...to the Empress Dowager to raise..."
The Queen Mother suddenly slammed the table and stood up, angrily shouting, "Rong Guiyi! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Yu Mo trembled all over, his mind exploded——
The rumors from the day before yesterday... My mother's miserable condition today... And the Queen Mother's current rage...
He suddenly raised his head, tears in his eyes, and roared, "Mother! Did the Empress Dowager kill you?! She wanted me, so she wanted to get rid of you?!"
The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned pale: "Yu Mo! Stop talking nonsense!"
But the child was already staring at her with hatred in his eyes, his face covered in tears.
Sheng Xiyan looked at this scene, glanced at Xuan Ling's expression, and instantly understood something.
Her eyes were slightly red, and a trace of pity arose in her heart.
Xuan Ling held her hand, his eyes deep.
——Rong Guiyi has the intention to seize the throne and must die.
——And from today onwards, Yu Mo will only hate the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will never dare to want him again!
