Nangong Yu sent Shangguan Wan back to the Phoenix Palace, then left after giving a few instructions to the servants, giving her enough time to rest.
Lin Zi followed behind the Emperor and asked in a low voice, "Your majesty, are we returning to Huanqin Hall to sleep?"
"To the Longevity Palace." This matter was so bizarre that since the empress had no way out, it would be better to go to his mother.
When the empress dowager saw the arrival of the emperor, she didn't seem moved in the slightest. "The emperor is really filial. Did he come to see This Dowager die or not?"
Her heart was filled with anger. Was this emperor really the empress dowager's own son? He had actually helped that fox spirit at the critical moment, it seemed like the relationship between mother and son was only at this level.
If he carefully ruminated, that little fox's methods were indeed brilliant. It seemed like it wouldn't be easy to deal with it. He had to think of a good method to eliminate any future troubles.
Nangong Yu lowered his eyes. His current mother gave him an inexplicable feeling. In short, he was different from before.
In the past, Her Majesty was well-educated and well-mannered. Her behavior was noble and elegant, and she would not be as tactless as she was today.
"Is the Queen Mother feeling better?" He still asked gently.
The Empress Dowager turned her face away and ignored him.
"Yes." Nangong Yu nodded, "You can leave. I want to chat with mother."
When the Empress Dowager on the bed heard that the Emperor was going to stay, she felt even more uncomfortable and simply closed her eyes, not looking at anyone.
"Yes." Senior Servant Jing carefully went out and closed the door.
Nangong Yu walked to the side of the phoenix bed and sat down. With a calm voice, he said, "I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding between Imperial Mother and Empress Lin."
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? This Dowager was injured by her, and the Emperor saw it with his own eyes! " Her Majesty could not wait to reply.
At this moment, the atmosphere was a little unusual. This' mother and son 'had their eyes set on them for an instant.
Seeing her determined attitude, Nangong Yu knew that it would be futile to mention it, so he changed the topic, "Let this matter rest for now." Imperial Mother's birthday is in the middle of winter. Although it is still too early, I should start preparing for it with the Ministry of Rites. If Imperial Mother has any suggestions, please do not hesitate to mention them. "
Only then did the empress dowager's eyes open as a faint smile appeared on her face. "Then what does the emperor want to do? This Dowager has no objections."
How could she not be proud to think that she would be worshiped and congratulated by all the people and officials? As the most respected woman in the world, she was looking forward to this, the endless glory and wealth, and the endless worship and worship of others.
"That's good." The corner of Nangong Yu's mouth raised into an arc, his black eyes filled with a crafty light.
Her Majesty's mood improved a lot. In short, if she could have a good time, she would get what she wanted.
However, what happened today had taught her a lesson. The emperor and empress couldn't be underestimated, so she had to be more careful in the future.
Mother and son still didn't speak much. Nangong Yu bid farewell to the empress dowager and returned to the Huiqin Hall, his eyebrows furrowed with worry.
Lil 'Lin had been by the emperor's side for so long that he could naturally tell that something big had happened.
"Your majesty, if you have something on your mind, you might as well speak of it. This way, your servant can help you share your worries."
Nangong Yu sat in front of the table and rubbed his forehead. He couldn't understand what was going on. He looked at the candle flame for a long time before thinking, "I'm afraid the empress dowager is a fake."
Little Lin was stunned by these words. What did the emperor mean by those words? Was the Empress Dowager a fake? How could she possibly be a fake? So many people had seen her, and there was no doubt about it.
However, the Emperor didn't seem to be making something out of thin air when he said this. Lin Zi buried the doubt in his heart and asked softly, "Then how does the Emperor plan to deal with it?"
Nangong Yu's eyes were closed, his slender middle finger continuously twirling around his forehead. His entire body was very quiet, without a sound.
How should he deal with this? He thought about it all the way back.
The true empress dowager didn't know where she was. If she recklessly went against that fake, she might alert the enemy.
In truth, when he saw the empress dowager fall to the ground and cough up blood, he already had some doubts in his heart. But he wasn't too sure.
No wonder Shangguan Wan didn't explain, with her intelligence, she had already figured out the truth.
Stupid woman, she wouldn't even try to explain herself. What if I'm as muddleheaded as always and wrongly accuse her?
"Let's wait."
The more critical the situation, the calmer one had to remain.
That night, Nangong Yu slept very lightly, and so did Shangguan Wan. The gloom in his heart accompanied his through the entire night.
The second day, the imperial harem was fine. After all, the emperor had the authority to back things up.
The empress had just left the matter of the empress dowager's palm at that.
Shangguan Wan didn't know this person, but she had delicate features and a gentle look in her eyes when she looked at Mild Qi.
Qi He quickly introduced, "Aunt, this is the third son of King Ning Kang, Zhao Ping."
The man called Zhao Ping bowed respectfully towards Shangguan Wan. "Your Highness greets the Empress."
