Chu Weiyue nodded, said goodbye to Wen Jingchi, and accompanied the empress dowager to appreciate the flowers.

After admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden for a while, they felt tired and sat in the pavilion to rest.

Chu Weiyue suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to the empress dowager, which made the empress dowager a little confused.

"What happened to you? Sit down and talk."

The Queen Mother had always liked Chu Weiyue very much, and she immediately grabbed her hand and asked her to sit down.

She was upset by the emperor's recent affairs, so she didn't want anyone else to get into trouble.

"Empress Dowager, I would like to ask you to allow me to personally take care of the Emperor. After all, I am now the Ninth Prince's principal wife. Although we have not yet performed the Zhougong Ceremony, in my heart I am already a member of the royal family.

Now that my father is seriously ill, I should personally go to the palace to serve him. This is the only way to fulfill my filial piety. If I don’t have time to fulfill my filial piety and let my father pass away, I will regret it for the rest of my life! We all know the emperor’s physical condition, so please allow me to take care of my father in person, Queen Mother.”

Then Chu Weiyue knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the Queen Mother.

Although it was unlucky that the emperor was about to pass away, the empress dowager said this to her in tears in the morning after she had combed her hair.

The Queen Mother does not like false flattery.

Moreover, she also knew that her prince was destined to die and would not live long.

So after hearing what Chu Weiyue said, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"I am really touched that you can say such words. I believe that my son will be relieved to marry a good daughter-in-law like you even if he really dies. I know that you and the Ninth Prince are truly filial people. Now that I have no real power, there is not much I can do, so I will grant you the permission.

I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. I never thought that I would have to send him off so soon! Although they all say that the emperor will live forever, who in this world can live that long? I understand his situation better than anyone else. It's a pity that I can't take care of him in person when we are about to part. You should take good care of the emperor on my behalf."

By the end of the conversation, the Queen Mother was already in tears; she was naturally heartbroken at the flesh that had fallen off her body.

Chu Weiyue's eyes were red, and she immediately hugged the empress dowager tightly.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will definitely take good care of my father. In my heart, he is already my father."

The Queen Mother personally handed her the badge and said, "This badge is mine. You can go to see the Emperor with it. I don't know who dares to stop you. If the prince dares to stop you, let him come to see me. I want to see if he listens to me, his grandmother."

The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, so the Prince must obey whatever she says.

She had a hundred reasons to convince the prince to agree, and Chu Weiyue's reasons were reasonable.

Chu Weiyue took the sign and went to the emperor's bedroom.

Because it was the Queen Mother's order, the guards didn't know what to do for a moment and could only let Chu Weiyue go back temporarily. He had to report this matter to Wen Jingchi and the Crown Prince.

When Wen Jingchi found out about it, he rushed to the palace to meet Chu Weiyue.

At this time, Chu Weiyue was wandering near the courtyard where the emperor lived. Seeing Wen Jingchi coming hurriedly, he immediately walked towards him.

"Why are you here? Aren't you busy?"

Wen Jingchi's face turned pale, and he tapped Chu Weiyue's forehead gently: "How dare you ask me, don't you know what you did?"

When asked this, Chu Weiyue scratched her hair in confusion: "What did I do? I don't know."

"I've heard about what you asked the Queen Mother just now. This is very risky. The Crown Prince might find you annoying and try to get rid of you. The Emperor is in great danger, and I can't let you take risks."

Wen Jingchi held Chu Weiyue's hand and refused on her behalf without hesitation.

But Chu Weiyue sighed helplessly: "If the emperor can't swallow his anger, I think the prince will definitely take action. Now that he delays for one more day, his worries and concerns will increase. He knows that you are also planning all this. For him, the sooner the emperor dies, the greater the advantage he will have.

Besides, several generals you are familiar with are guarding the border, and you have secretly dispatched them back. No matter how secretive you are, the prince will definitely get wind of it. When they come back, the prince will naturally be doomed. How could he let you succeed? "

"If I were by the emperor's side, I could let him think it over. If a good person suddenly died, he would be blamed."

Wen Jingchi frowned tightly and sighed softly: "That's why I won't let you go. Just give up on this idea."

"Wen Jingchi, I'm not doing this for you, but for myself. Now I can only take a gamble. If the emperor dies and the prince immediately succeeds to the throne, what can you do to him? Without troops and power, it's all empty talk. By the time your reinforcements arrive, he'll have settled everything. By then, it will be a conspiracy to usurp the throne, which has a different meaning, so we have to delay time."

No matter how Wen Jingchi tried to persuade her, Chu Weiyue was unwilling to compromise and had no choice but to agree.

As soon as Chu Weiyue arrived outside the main hall, Wen Jingchi grabbed her hand worriedly and gave her several instructions before going about his own business.

Before I could go in, I saw Wen Chenxuan rushing towards me impatiently.

When he found out that Chu Weiyue was about to go in, he immediately stopped her.

"Chu Weiyue, who allowed you to come here?"

Chu Weiyue was not afraid of him and immediately took out the sign and waved it in front of him.

"Of course it's the Empress Dowager. She can't come to visit her son in person, so she asked me, her daughter-in-law, to come and take care of him personally. After all, the Emperor is my father-in-law, so I have to take care of him. This is in line with filial piety. You don't want to refute me, do you?"

Wen Chenxuan's anger instantly reached its peak.

"Chu Weiyue, what are you doing here, a woman? The Queen Mother is just confused for a moment. You will only make things worse if you go there. Wait here. I will go and ask the Master Queen Mother to take back her decision."

Wen Chenxuan glared at Chu Weiyue fiercely and immediately went to find the Queen Mother.

At this time, the Queen Mother was holding the gift given to her by the Emperor and shedding tears secretly.

When she noticed someone coming in, she immediately wiped her tears and found out it was Wen Chenxuan.

Although she was old and no longer had any real power, she had lived in the palace for so long that she knew many things clearly.

When he saw Wen Chenxuan, he no longer had the kindness and gentleness of the past.

"Prince, what do you want from me?"

Then he rubbed his temples, looking extremely tired.

Wen Chenxuan bowed first before he started talking about business.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that you asked Chu Weiyue to take care of our father. She is a rich girl and clumsy, what can she do? It's better to let her go back."
