The book begins with the waste of all the members

"I want to know too..." Si Muzhen's voice sounded.

When he came in, he was followed by Imperial Physician Wen and the nanny who had gone to look for the Imperial Physician with the Empress Dowager.

"Are you OK."

Si Muzhen first asked about Wei Yu's condition. After Wei Yu said he was fine, he squeezed her hand before greeting the Queen Mother.

"My son, I send my regards to my mother."

"Get up."

The Queen Mother glared at the nanny standing beside her.

Mammy lowered her head guiltily.

The empress dowager came specifically during the emperor's court session because she was afraid that the emperor would come. Now, Wei Yu tricked her, and she directly invited the emperor over.

"The emperor is not in the court discussing state affairs with the officials at this time, why is he here?"

"Didn't the Queen Mother send someone to say something bad was wrong with the Queen? I was worried about the Queen, so I followed her to see her."

The Queen Mother said to Wei Yu: "Queen..."

"What crime should you be charged with?" Wei Yu raised his hand to answer.

Si Muzhen covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Queen Mother: "..."

So what? In the eyes of the Queen Mother, all of Si Muzhen’s mistakes were her fault.

"The Emperor has arrived just in time. I want to ask about Concubine Hui's matter. How does the Emperor intend to resolve it?"

"I have read it..." Si Muzhen read it incoherently.

"Noble Concubine Hui is a noble lady from a first-class mansion. You are not unaware of Bai Liancheng's prestige in the court. He has no ambitions and is wholeheartedly dedicated to the court. But if you really agree to let Noble Concubine Hui leave the palace, what will he think, and what will the Bai family think?"

"She also wants to take your fifth princess away. She's my only granddaughter. I won't agree to that anyway."

Si Muzhen shrugged, "Even if the Queen Mother disagrees, there's nothing I can do. I've already issued an order allowing Concubine Hui to leave the palace."

"It's time to go back to the Bai family now."

"You..." The empress dowager looked heartbroken, "You are making trouble... The overall situation is of great importance, I have said it many times." The empress dowager held her forehead and fell back into the chair.

"Just because of her?" The Queen Mother pointed at Wei Yu, "How can she help you? And because of her mother and sister's affairs, we have become a laughing stock."

"Wei Jianlin has never acknowledged her as his daughter. Do you think Wei Jianlin will be completely devoted to us because of her?"

Wei Yu pressed his temples with his hands.

I'm confused and don't understand where the Queen Mother got all these tricks from.

"The Queen Mother treats you as her son-in-law, right?" Wei Yu whispered, "You make it sound as if the throne will soon change hands without the support of your concubine's family.

Si Muzhen patted her hands and said, "I'll do it."

Wei Yu made a "please" gesture, "Please start your performance."

"Wei Jianlin and Bai Liancheng are both virtuous ministers. They originally served me solely for the common people of Da'e. Whether or not they have female relatives serving as concubines in the palace does not conflict with their original intentions."

"That sounds nice." The Queen Mother rolled her eyes, completely disagreeing with Si Muzhen's statement.

"Mother has always been well aware of the affairs of the court. Can't you see that? It doesn't matter to them who is the emperor, as long as he is a wise ruler."

He also praised himself in a disguised way.

"But what the Queen Mother said is not without reason..."

"Oh~~" The Queen Mother put down her teacup, raised her head, and said proudly, "You finally agree with what Mother said?"

"I don't agree...at all."

Queen Mother: "..."

"At least there are women from their family in the palace. If I become incompetent, they can overthrow me and install their own heirs." Si Muzhen looked at the Queen Mother with interest. "That way, the Queen Mother won't have any role to play..."

The Queen Mother pretended to be calm. Her purpose in coming to see Wei Yu today was to use the opportunity of Concubine Hui asking to step down to force Wei Yu to give up the position of Queen so that she could support one of her own female relatives to take the throne.

In this way, her mother's family's status in both the front court and the harem was unshakable.

Now that the emperor knew her intention, she would not hide it anymore.

"Since the Emperor has this awareness, you should know that your maternal family would never treat you this way. Making Siwei the Empress will definitely benefit you."

Su Siwei is the daughter of Si Muchun's uncle. Originally, they wanted to marry her to Si Muchu as soon as she reached the right age, but now Si Muchu has been in the borderland and it is unknown when he will be able to come back.

If Su Siwei doesn't get married soon, she will become an old maid. The women from the empress dowager's mother's family come to the palace from time to time to talk about it, and analyze with the empress dowager the various advantages of Su Siwei becoming the queen, and by the way, PUA the empress dowager.

In addition, the Queen Mother was taught from a young age that her own glory was closely related to the glory of her mother's family, so when she entered the palace as a concubine, she helped the family in various ways.

Even after becoming the empress dowager, she was still thinking about how to make her mother's family more prosperous.

"Mother, do you think that if Siwei really becomes the queen and gives birth to a prince, will your position in the Su family still be the same as it is now?"

"The Crown Prince's grandfather, or the Queen Mother's brother, even a fool would choose. Do you really think my uncles would be willing to work for me? They must be wishing I would die sooner so their grandson can take the throne."

"Don't you understand this, mother?"

The Queen Mother leaned back in her chair, her face ashen, "Your uncle and his family are not that kind of people."

"Hasn't your uncles' actions over the years shown you their true colors? They are completely hopeless."

"My Queen Mother seems to have forgotten that you are no longer a member of the Su family. You have married into the royal family and become the most honorable and noble Queen Mother. Just enjoy your peaceful life."

To put it bluntly, the empress dowager's honor and disgrace are only related to the emperor.

The Queen Mother couldn't accept it for a moment and fainted.

This is when Doctor Wen comes in handy.

"The Queen Mother fainted because of her extreme emotional fluctuations. She will be fine after some rest."

Si Muzhen raised his hand, and Lin Su hurried forward, "Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

"Send the Empress Dowager back to Cikang Palace to recuperate properly, and send more imperial physicians over."

"Yes."

Si Muzhen and Wei Yu watched the Queen Mother leave.

"I hope the Queen Mother can wake up."

Si Muzhen's brows were knotted, and Wei Yu gently rubbed the small bump between his eyebrows.

Si Muzhen took her hand and smiled with relief.

"The Queen is indeed very considerate."

Wei Yu put his hands on his hips and said, "Of course."

Si Muzhen took Wei Yu's hand and kissed her thumb with an "obscene" expression.

Wei Yu shuddered, "It's so greasy, you can use your oil to cook."

"Well, you're tired of me now, aren't you?" Si Muzhen looked like a young wife who had been abandoned. "To my credit, I just turned against my mother for you, you unfaithful man."

"Ah...yes, yes, yes." Sanchong denied it with certainty.

When Si Muzhen was about to "throw a tantrum" on the spot, Wei Yu raised his hand and hugged her in a very manly way.

"Thank you... Really, I feel so safe."

Si Muzhen hugged Wei Yu back and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do as a husband."

Wei Yu pushed Si Muzhen away and said, "Okay, it's my turn to talk about the past..."

"I think there are still some political affairs that have not been dealt with..." Si Muzhen turned around and left.

"Let's go. After you leave, don't step into Chengming Palace."

Si Muzhen obediently turned around and followed Wei Yu into Chengming Palace.
