Shen Yu walked to his side and was pulled to sit beside him. Prince De raised his hand and patted her head, as if to coax Tiantian and the others, "Don't be sad, I'm here for you."

The grievance she had been holding in her heart could no longer be contained. She leaned her head on Prince De's shoulder and asked in a muffled voice, "When can we change the emperor?"

Prince De reached out and tapped her forehead gently, "Can you say that casually?"

I used to think that the relationship between father and daughter was too polite, but now seeing that she looks like a poor little thing, this kind of intimacy is just right.

But he did not avoid the topic, and said seriously, "Soon..."

Shen Yu looked up and blinked, looking stunned. Did she hear wrongly? Or did Prince De misunderstand? How could such a big thing as changing the emperor become a domineering CEO's quote when he said it?

The weather is getting cold, is it time for someone to go bankrupt?

Prince De pressed her head back onto his shoulder, looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "It's rare for my daughter to ask for something, so I have to do it..."

I'm not! I didn't! You're talking nonsense!

Help! I want to go home! !

She quietly looked at Lu Yingxing who had been pretending to be invisible, and saw him nod slightly. This was like a reassurance to Shen Yu, and her heart settled down. It was enough for her husband to know about this. After all, there was something wrong with Prince De before, which made them very worried.

Not only did he torture Shen Nian at night, but he also frequently went to court during the day to attack those so-called students of Grandpa Su. No matter how high or low their official positions were, he would hold them accountable in court if he found evidence. Who among the officials in the court dared to say that they had not been involved in any problems? He found a lot of them when he investigated.

She couldn't intervene in the fight between these ancient big guys, so she could only send two little cuties to pester him. It was only in these few days that she saw him finally smile.

Seeing his daughter's worried face, he comforted her softly, "Yu'er, everything has its cause and effect, there are gains and losses, don't worry, I know what I am doing..."

He looked through the courtyard at the distant palace with a slightly cold gaze. It was almost there...

The palace was exceptionally quiet at night, as if surrounded by a layer of silence. Only a few palace lanterns were hanging alone on the red walls, and the flames trembled slightly in the wind, trying to maintain their precarious dim light.

The emperor still had no intention of going to bed today. He changed his clothes and went straight to the Cining Palace.

After dismissing the servants, he stepped into the bedroom and was immediately scolded, "How dare you show up again, you useless piece of shit?!"

The floor heating in the room was very warm, but the emperor's was as cold as ice, which formed a sharp contrast with the warmth in the house.

The first thing one saw was the mess in the room. All the utensils that could be smashed were broken into pieces. Even the empress dowager's phoenix crown, which took dozens of craftsmen two years to make, was smashed into pieces. It was heartbreaking to look at.

The emperor only frowned slightly when he entered the door, and soon returned to normal.

He lost interest in entering the house and only stood one step away from the door. "Mother, what do you want?"

The most honorable queen mother of Linyue State sat quietly in the ruins, turning the Buddhist beads in her hands. She didn't look happy even when she saw the emperor, and she kept cursing, "I should have crushed you two evil creatures to death! You are all useless. How could I give birth to a son like you? You let Lu Chengde, a cripple, come to court and cripple so many of my people. What are you thinking?"

The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw her suddenly admitting so bluntly that she had bought off the court officials. He didn't care that she had sent someone to say that she wanted to die with him, and he even said sarcastically, "Since every son is a waste, isn't the problem with the people who gave birth to them, mother?"

"Lu! Cheng! Ming!" The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with cold anger. The face that usually pretended to be kind in front of others became particularly ferocious today. The disgust on her face was not concealed at all today. Apart from cursing him as a "waste", there was no way she could hurt him at all.

The deep fear I had for her in my childhood seemed to disappear in an instant.

The emperor took a deep breath and felt that everything before his eyes was so beautiful. Even this once hateful old woman had some cuteness in her?

The last bit of his patience was gone. He looked cold and sneered, "I am a waste in your eyes, so is my brother the same? Shouldn't it be like this? He is so capable. He joined forces with Prince Zhuo's Mansion to bring down Concubine Yun and the old patriarch of the Yun family, which led to internal strife in the Yun family. That Beirong King Yun Mo was killed, and Youcheng is now in chaos..."

I was very satisfied to see the shock and fear in her eyes. "A woman in the harem, encouraged by the old woman of the Yun family, actually wanted to become the empress? Oh, wake up, the Yun family spent so many years of hard work and only got a concubine. Why do you think the grandmother of Prince You could become the princess? Oh, because she was not a member of the Yun family. Do you think the emperor of Youcheng is as brainless as you?"

"you……"

The emperor had been holding back resentment because of her for many years. Now, looking at the bewildered empress dowager, he suddenly felt that he was extremely ridiculous. How could a dignified emperor be influenced by such a woman...

She could have abandoned her brother, saying that she pushed him to the throne and kept calling him a waste... If I were not her only remaining bloodline, I believe this cruel and heartless woman would have wanted to change another son to sit on the throne...

Why did he want to touch Su Yixia?

That's because the queen mother repeatedly ridiculed him, saying that he, as the crown prince, was not as good as his brother, and that he was a waste. She also said that the son of a waste would only be a waste... Does that mean that she thinks his brother's son would be more useful than his son?

Since the Queen Mother could change the heir to the throne once, she could change it a second time, a third time...

As long as he is of her blood, whether he is the son of King De or his son, she will support whoever she thinks is useful...

At the beginning, my royal brother had privately mentioned to my father that he would not marry anyone else but Su Yixia. So, does that mean that as long as Su Yixia is destroyed, Prince De will not have a son?

He admitted that he was the one who induced his mother to marry Su Yisha off, but he never thought that his mother would be so cruel... As a result, after many twists and turns, Su's children finally became the children of Prince De, and they suffered backlash because of his mother's cruel behavior.

The emperor chuckled softly, "In mother's eyes, we are all trash, but it's a pity that you have no other choice. You don't have a son to replace... Even if you pull me down, you can only choose my son or Prince De to succeed the throne. Do you think that Linyue Kingdom can accept an emperor with a broken leg?..."

"Lu Chengming!!" the Queen Mother waved her hands angrily.

With a "bang", he threw the last thing at hand out. Unfortunately, the Buddhist beads did not hit the emperor at all, but fell straight to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"Aren't you afraid that I will make public everything you have done over the years?" The Queen Mother's face was filled with anger. She wanted to see panic and powerlessness in his eyes as she did before.
