The book begins with the waste of all the members

"Did you hear everything? My conversation with Abbot Suli." Wei Yu's voice was shaking.

Si Muzhen buried her face in Wei Yu's shoulder and uttered a muffled "hmm".

"Your words are so hurtful. What's wrong with me? Others want to have children with me, but I don't. Why don't you have one with me?"

Wei Yu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell freely.

"That's it?"

"That's it?" Si Muzhen raised her head. "Are you heartless? Do you know how sad I am? I deliberately didn't look for you, but you actually left me aside and didn't even come to comfort me."

Wei Yu's brain restarted, but it froze again when he was acted like a spoiled child by a tough guy like Si Muqin.

She held Si Mu's face in her hands and asked, "Brother, what is your last name?"

She strongly suspected that Si Muzhen was possessed by some strange thing. She was clingy before, but not to this extent.

"Your husband."

"Woc!" Wei Yu yelled and jumped off Si Mu'er. He immediately began to make seals again, chanting, "When facing a battle, all should line up and march forward. Heaven and earth, please help me, as the law has commanded, the evil spirits should retreat..."

Si Muyu: "..."

Si Muzhen pulled the man back and said, "I am still myself, but I am afraid that if I treat you badly, you will abandon me and run away."

Wei Yu covered Si Mu's mouth and said, "Don't talk, I want to be quiet."

Si Muzhen really didn't say anything.

As the saying goes, a quiet child is definitely up to something.

Something warm and soft stroked Wei Yu's palm, and starting from the palm, his body felt numb as if an electric current passed through it.

Wei Yu seemed to be frozen in place.

Cracked.

Si Muzhen took her hand and kissed every finger and every knuckle carefully in front of her.

When Wei Yu reacted, a mushroom cloud exploded above his head and he was completely stunned.

"Your Majesty..." Lin Su came in and saw the two people kissing and quickly turned around, "Don't look at anything inappropriate."

Wei Yu woke up, pushed Si Muzhen away, stood up, and kept his eyes on the ground, trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Si Muzhen's eyes were like knives, and she wished she could kill Lin Su, the troublemaker.

Lin Su trembled.

"What's up?"

"The Empress Dowager invites the Emperor and the Empress to visit Cikang Palace."

Cikang Palace is the palace of the Empress Dowager. To be honest, Wei Yu only saw the Empress Dowager on the first day of his time travel. Later, he was confined to his house, injured, and fell into a coma, and he never had the chance to see the Empress Dowager again.

"We'll go right away."

Si Muzhen held Wei Yu's hand throughout the whole process, even when they entered Cikang Palace.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"Everyone, get up."

The Queen Mother looked at the two people holding hands again without changing her expression.

"I heard that the emperor summoned Concubine Chen's sister into the palace, but does he plan to make her a concubine?" The empress dowager asked directly.

"My son has no such intention."

"That's good," the Queen Mother said earnestly, "There's already a daughter of the Yun family in the palace. If there's another, I'm afraid some people will get suspicious and think I'm making a comeback."

“No, my son knows about the Yun family’s ambitions and has no intention of supporting the Yun family.”

"Well. Having said that, the emperor should indeed take in a few more concubines." The empress dowager said this while looking at Wei Yu.

However, Wei Yu was now thinking about how to pull his hand out without making any noise. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to be so intimate in front of his elders.

"My son has no plans to take a concubine. For now, having the Queen by his side is enough."

The Queen Mother was a little angry, "You... The Emperor should make plans for his offspring."

"My son already has three princes and one princess. That's enough." Si Mu refused to listen.

"Where is enough?"

The Queen Mother started to scold Si Muzhen.

"Your current offspring are completely unremarkable among the clan members."

"Let's not even mention Yixin's poor health. The eldest prince, born to Concubine Shu, is stubborn and unfit for such a big responsibility. The fourth prince, born to Concubine Xian, is too weak and soft..."

Si Muzhen interrupted the Queen Mother with a cold tone, "Your Majesty should know why Yixin is not in good health."

Wei Yu’s ears pricked up, gossip was calling.

The Queen Mother was also angry. "What did the Emperor mean when he said this? Are you saying that I have harmed Yi Xin?"

"My son doesn't dare."

The Queen Mother sneered, "Even if I did something, it was all for you and the country."

"Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."

"Oh, you've grown strong now... If it weren't for your maternal grandparents..."

Si Muzhen interrupted the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, your son is the heir designated by the late Emperor. I was already the Crown Prince before I ascended the throne."

The implication is that his throne has little to do with his maternal family.

On the contrary, after he became the crown prince, he had to clean up the mess for his maternal grandparents every day. Now he wishes to marginalize all the people in his maternal grandparents' family.

Even if he didn't support the Yun family, he would definitely not support his maternal family.

The Queen Mother's breathing became rapid. Since she couldn't do anything to the Emperor, she would take it out on the Queen.

"Queen, do you admit your guilt..." The Queen Mother looked at Wei Yu harshly and said.

Wei Yu was stunned. How could the fire burn him?

Si Mu stood in front of Wei Yu and asked, "What did the Queen do wrong?"

"The Queen's fault lies in her failure as the head of the harem to look after the concubines and the heirs, and in her failure to advise the Emperor and to treat them equally. Since the Queen was injured in Yongquan Palace and returned to the palace, the Emperor has not favored any other concubines. This is the Queen's dereliction of duty."

Wei Yu was speechless. How could he shirk responsibility for this?

"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. In my son's eyes, the queen is the best woman in the world."

The two were tit for tat.

Wei Yu finally realized that something was wrong. The emperor had always been the best to the empress dowager, but today it seemed completely different. She even felt like an enemy.

"If there's nothing else for Mother, my son and the Queen will return to the palace first."

Si Muzhen pulled Wei Yu away without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

There was no conversation along the way until we returned to Chengming Palace.

"What happened between you and the Queen Mother?" Wei Yu was not just curious this time, he was also a little worried about Si Muzhen.

"Wei Yu, you did a lot of bad things in the past, which can't be erased, but there is one thing I did misunderstand about you."

Wei Yu felt that this sounded strange, but he didn't know what was strange about it.

"You may not remember, but it was the Queen Mother who ordered Concubine Chen to have a difficult delivery. She was afraid that after Yi Xin was born, the Yun family would rise to a higher level, so she instructed you to do it."

"Ah?" Another plot that is not in the original book.

"How did you know?"

"I heard it with my own ears. This isn't the first time Queen Mother has done something to Yi Xin. Concubine Chen's first child was also caused by Queen Mother."

When saying this, Si Muzhen's face showed grief.

"At that time, I always told myself that my mother was doing this for my own good and for the sake of the entire country. But I was wrong. She was just afraid that the Yun family would overshadow my grandparents."

Si Muzhen's condition at this time was like an abandoned puppy, so pitiful.

Wei Yu didn't know how to comfort him. He probably wouldn't listen to anything like "What mother doesn't care about her own children?"

Wei Yu took the initiative to hug Si Muzhen and patted his back to comfort him.

Si Muzhen hugged him back, "You are doing well now."

Wei Yu chuckled, "That's right, you finally know that I am considerate."

"Yes." Si Muzhen let go of Wei Yu and said seriously and earnestly, "Since the Queen is so understanding, then give me one, two, three, or four children. This will also shut up the Queen Mother."

Wei Yu: “…”

This matter can't be overcome, right?
