The Queen Mother was startled. Beneath her veil, she bit her red lips lightly. "Are you blaming me?"
"I'm not blaming you. I'm just stating a fact. And to be precise, it's not because of you, but because of me. It was me who revealed my identity in Villa Nineteen. It was my own will. No one forced me to do that."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed, "Alright! Since you've said so, then I have nothing to say. But I hope you will give up your current power and become an ordinary woman. This world of intrigue and deception is too complicated. Live a peaceful life!"
"Do you mean that I should abandon the Nether Palace?" An Tingyu had no expression on her face, and her thoughts at the moment could not be seen from her face.
"Just abdicate and let the twentieth generation appear."
"So do you have an ideal candidate?" An Tingyu remained calm, with a faint expression on her face.
"I can do it for you."
An Tingyu smiled coldly, a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "Is this the reason why you let me enter the palace?"
Could it be that she was deprived of power today by the Queen Mother who loved her the most?
It's really a bit ridiculous, or maybe the Queen Mother's fox tail has finally been exposed?
After all, the Nether Palace is a huge existence. The Queen Mother may have treated her sincerely before, but after the Queen Mother knew that she, the nineteenth concubine, was the nineteenth generation Lord of the Nether Palace, it was hard to say. Although this Lord was also fake, the Queen Mother did not know it.
If the Queen Mother really wanted to obtain the Nether Palace, then she would have become an obstacle for her.
"That's fine if you want to understand it that way, but this is all for your own good. You're a mother now. Even if it's not for yourself, you should at least think about Xi'er. Do you want him to follow you into the wind and take risks every day, leading a life of unrest?"
An Tingyu pursed her red lips and smiled slightly before saying, "Perhaps what you said is true, but I would rather not be accused of running away than take risks. Now is the time when rumors are spreading, but you let me leave. Isn't this putting me in a deeper crisis? And the mastermind will be even more proud because his plan has succeeded. Once I leave, everyone in the world will think that I have really done something shameful. They will also say that I, the nineteenth concubine, am not legitimate and was taken from the eighteenth generation. So I will not leave, and I will not pass the throne to anyone, including you."
"If there is nothing else, mother, I will leave first. Aotian and the others are still waiting for me to have dinner at home!" After saying that, An Tingyu left without waiting for the empress dowager to speak. But as soon as she walked out of the palace gate, An Tingyu let out a long sigh.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Dang Yan, who had been guarding the gate of the West Palace, saw her come out and her face didn't look very good, so he asked.
"It's nothing. I was thinking of having a meal with her since we're already in the palace, but we didn't have the meal. Let's go home and eat!" An Tingyu said lightly.
Dang Yan nodded and said nothing more.
On this side, after An Tingyu left, the empress dowager sat in the phoenix chair for a long time, without smiling or speaking. The huge Anhe Hall was like an empty city, so quiet that it was a little scary.
At the side, Matron Li, the Empress Dowager's personal attendant, glanced at her and said cautiously, "Empress Dowager, Miss An didn't mean to disobey you. She just doesn't understand your feelings. Once she understands, this hurdle will be overcome."
The Queen Mother laughed at herself, "Compared to her son, she values the world more, let alone me."
Hearing this, Nanny Li closed her mouth tightly, lowered her head slightly, and did not dare to say anything more, for fear that the Empress Dowager would take her out on her if they disagreed.
"What? Sister An entered the palace? When did it happen? Where is she?" In Chongyang Palace, Long Xunyi heard that An Tingyu had entered the palace, and he immediately said excitedly.
He hadn't seen An Tingyu for a long time, and he didn't know how she was doing now, whether she had lost weight or gained weight.
Across the table, Concubine Feng lowered her eyes slightly, a glimmer of resentment flashed in her eyes. In her heart, she thought to herself, when An Tingyu came, Long Xunyi changed completely, but he had never shown this expression in front of her. Is An Tingyu so important in Long Xunyi's heart?
