The Queen Mother's voice was like a golden cup, and the entire imperial study was filled with the Queen Mother's anger.

The prince stood there with a gloomy face and said nothing.

The prince's silence made the queen mother feel more and more reasonable. "When he died a son from Beiyun, he dared to threaten the court. If the court is really threatened by him, it is difficult to guarantee that no ministers will follow suit in the future!"

"This precedent cannot be opened by the court!"

"The court cannot tolerate such a traitor!"

It is difficult for the emperor to disagree with these words, "What the Empress Dowager said is very much. The Marquis of Beiyun is full of ambition and has become a trouble for the court. King Jing'an did this because he did not want to send troops to the Marquis of Beiyun. As his father and the general of the Xia Dynasty, he is willing to sacrifice his son for the court. He is so loyal that I feel comforted."

The emperor's tone was quite gentle, but the empress dowager's eyes shrank when she heard it.

He, King Jing'an, was too ungrateful!

Can't you see that the empress dowager is helping him protect his son?!

He said nothing, but asked the emperor to imply that the empress dowager was meddling in other people's business. King Jing'an would give up his son, and where would her empress dowager get involved?

The empress dowager was so angry that her chest was fluctuating and said, "All the idle people have retreated. I have a few words to say to the emperor alone!"

Eunuch Chang quickly called the father-in-law in the study room to retreat.

Of course, the idle people do not include Eunuch Chang, but the prince is included.

When the prince withdrew, the queen mother looked at the emperor's cold face and felt angry, "Is the emperor blaming the Ai family for meddling in other people's business?"

I know and ask.

The emperor did not speak, which was a default.

The empress dowager said angrily, "What the Marquis Beiyun wants is not the life of a son of King Jing'an, but what he wants is the emperor's kingdom!"

"If King Jing'an really gave up his son's life, he would have been killed by the Ministry of Justice. Why did he wait until today to give the Beiyun Hou a chance to rob the tax silver and put pressure on the court?!"

"He was not sincerely willing, but under pressure, the emperor knew that the second young master of the Jing'an Palace would not die, but he still used his life to extinguish the wrath of the Beiyun Marquis. The emperor had thought that if the King Jing'an was heartbroken, the harm to the court would be even worse than that of the ten Beiyun Marquis!"

The emperor smiled and didn't expect the empress dowager to have such a bad memory. Then the emperor didn't mind reminding her, "If I remember correctly, King Jing'an never stopped the Ministry of Justice from beginning to end. But you, Queen Mother, saved King Jing'an's son at the execution ground."

The Empress Dowager's face froze, "I am afraid that the Ministry of Justice will wrongly accuse the second young master of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion!"

The emperor curled up a sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "Does the Queen Mother think the Ministry of Justice have the courage?"

The empress dowager was so angry that she trembled all over, "The emperor insisted on executing the second young master of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion?!"

The emperor said lazily, "It is not me who wants to execute him, but the court's law. With my understanding of King Jing'an, today, not to mention that the murderer is just a concubine's son, or the eldest son, King Jing'an will sacrifice his son's life for the overall situation. The Empress Dowager thought of King Jing'an too narrowly."

"The Empress Dowager is angry with King Jing'an today. She doesn't look like she protects King Jing'an's son, but rather her own grandson!"

The emperor's body gradually became sharp from laziness, like a heavy hammer hitting the Queen Mother's heart.

The Empress Dowager was furious, "The Ai family is devoted to the court, who is gossiping behind the scenes?!"

The emperor picked up the teacup from the dragon table, fiddled with it gently, and said, "Is it gossip or it is true? The Empress Dowager knows more than me."

"Concubine Mei is the concubine given to Prince Jing'an by the Empress Dowager. Such a scandal is slandering the royal face. I will never allow it!"

"The Empress Dowager will not be willing to give the death of Concubine Mei, so I will issue this imperial edict."

The emperor issued an order to kill the Empress Dowager and reward him with the concubine of King Jing'an, which would surely attract criticism. Let the Empress Dowager issue an order to save face for the Empress Dowager.

But if the Empress Dowager didn't want this face, the Emperor wouldn't force himself.

The empress dowager was so angry that she trembled all over, and the emperor looked like "Don't toast, don't eat, and you're punished for wine."

The Empress Dowager turned around and was about to leave. The emperor suddenly remembered something and said, "Since the Empress Dowager knew that if King Jing'an was heartbroken, the harm to the court was more than ten times that of the Marquis of Beiyun. Should I give King Jing'an an explanation for the matter of Concubine Mei?!"

The empress dowager's steps came to an abrupt end, and she turned around and glared at the emperor, "What explanation does the Ai family want to give?"

The emperor said, "Is the Empress Dowager so humiliated that the woman who has become the king is given to King Jing'an?"

It would be fine if you don’t give me a reward. If you give me a woman with a secret bead, her title was almost robbed. Who would have tolerated it?

If you don’t give an explanation for this matter, let alone King Jing'an, he, the emperor, will not agree!

The emperor was determined and the empress dowager was angry. "King Cheng suddenly died suddenly, and no child was left behind. If the Ai family knew that Concubine Mei was pregnant with the Ai family's grandson in her belly, would the Ai family give her to King Jing'an?!"

If I had known it, the Empress Dowager would have offered Concubine Mei as a Bodhisattva.

But Concubine Mei was too timid. She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would think that King Cheng was killed by her. Even though she had the flesh and blood of King Cheng in her belly, it was difficult to guarantee that the Empress Dowager would not leave her mother and son. Concubine Mei was afraid of death and did not dare to say a word for so many years. If it weren't for saving her son, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have known that she had a grandson until she died.

Now that the emperor is misunderstood, the empress dowager is so angry that she can't breathe smoothly. "Concubine Mei is pregnant with King Cheng's only flesh and blood. She can succeed the title of King Cheng when she is born! Is it necessary to be a concubine son for King Jing'an who is not worthy of the prestige and compete with others for the title?!"

Even the second wife of the Prince Jing'an Mansion knew about this, so the Empress Dowager did not hide it and accepted it generously.

The emperor herself also said that for the sake of the royal family and for the face of King Jing'an, she would suppress this matter. So, what is the empress dowager afraid of?

The Empress Dowager said, "When Ai's family gave Concubine Mei to King Jing'an, Concubine Mei was still in a perfect state. The day when she lost her virginity in King Cheng was the day when King Cheng died suddenly!"

"The emperor wants to kill Concubine Mei, but the Ai family will not stop him, but they have to wait until the cause of Cheng Wang's death is found out!"

"There is only such a son under King Cheng. It was not intentional that he killed the Prince of Beiyun. The Ai family would save his life no matter what!"

The Queen Mother's words really shocked the Emperor.

The cause of King Cheng's death is a mystery. Although there are rumors, no one knows whether the rumors are true or false. But what is not denying is that if King Cheng had not died suddenly, the throne would not be the emperor's turn to sit on.

The emperor believed what the Empress Dowager said. From the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Qi Moming, it can be seen that the Empress Dowager really didn't know that Qi Moming was her biological grandson before.
