But Your Majesty, he had no choice but to return to his life, so he had no choice but to stand at the door.

The little eunuch on the side looked anxiously, wondering when Liao Cheng would leave.

It wasn't until some coughing came from the room that Liao Cheng's eyes flashed.

Seeing this, the little eunuch on the side immediately put a silver ingot into Liao Cheng's hand.

"Thank you very much, Eunuch Liao, for making this trip. Your Highness was infected with the cold a few days ago, but he is much better now."

"Listening to this noise, I'm afraid His Highness has just taken medicine and is going to sleep."

Liao Cheng glanced at the little eunuch, then at the closed door, and then nodded.

"Serve your Highness well. If you have any idle thoughts, be careful that Your Majesty will not spare you!"

When the emperor saw Liao Cheng coming back with a worried look on his face, he immediately stepped forward.

"How is the prince?"

Liao Cheng hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is already being guarded by people from Jishi Hall. When I arrived just now, the doctors from Jishi Hall were already inside to treat His Highness."

"I heard from the little eunuch who was serving His Highness that His Highness had taken medicine and fell asleep, and this servant came back to resume his life."

The emperor felt a little relieved when he heard that the doctors from Jishitang were guarding the East Palace.

However, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the prince was ill and had not been informed of it all these days.

Early the next morning, the emperor went to Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but narrowed her eyes when she saw the emperor coming so early.

"Your Majesty is not going to court this morning, so why are you here at the Ai family?"

The emperor smiled bitterly, saluted the Queen Mother, and then sat down on a chair nearby to rest.

The Queen Mother glanced at Liao Cheng who was following the emperor. Liao Cheng looked at the emperor and wondered whether he should say anything.

Seeing this, the emperor finally couldn't help but said: "Mother, I feel aggrieved."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and put down the tea cup in her hand.

"In this great Zhou Dynasty, who can make you, an emperor, feel wronged?"

The emperor snorted softly, "That boy Ke'er and the princess have been ill for a long time, but they didn't even say a word to anyone to bring them into the palace."

The Queen Mother suddenly heard that Xuanyuan Ke was ill and immediately stood up.

"How's Ke'er doing?"

The emperor was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, Ke'er is fine. The doctor from Jishi Hall is already guarding the place. I also asked Liao Cheng to go and see it last night. He said that Ke'er and the Crown Princess had surrendered. He came back after taking the medicine and falling asleep."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the Prince was fine.

"Liao Cheng, is what your Majesty said true?"

Liao Cheng, who was waiting outside the door, quickly stepped forward: "Back to the Queen Mother, what your Majesty said is true. I went to the East Palace last night to have a look. The person who was serving the prince told me that the prince and the princess are fine."

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor, her eyes no longer anxious.

"Why didn't you tell you that Ke'er was ill? Don't you know it in your heart?"

The emperor choked and didn't know how to reply.

What happened back then was just a moment of anger on his part. Who would have thought that the boss would be so stubborn and have been angry with him for so many years?

"They say father and son don't have an overnight feud, but look at that kid."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "So you also know that you did something wrong?"

The emperor said nothing, but turned his eyes.

The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "You are the one who did the wrong thing, but you want to let Ke'er apologize. You are really good at calculating."

The emperor's face turned red and white at the Queen Mother's straightforward words, but the person in front of him was the Queen Mother, his biological mother.No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only endure it.

"Mother, I am the emperor."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother put down the tea cup in her hand and her expression became serious.

"What about the emperor? There is no time for the emperor to do anything wrong?"

"Have you forgotten what your father said back then? No one can make mistakes without being a sage. You are an emperor, not a saint. If you do something wrong, it is wrong, but you don't have the courage to admit it. Instead, you make people look at you It’s low.”

The emperor was silent for a while. Why did he win over and re-employ civil servants over the years? It was just for a good reputation.

But has his reputation really improved now?

War is about to break out in the world, and if it cannot be resolved in time, then he will only be infamy for the current generation, and even for future generations.

Thinking that the shackles on his body for so many years seemed to have been removed because of the Queen Mother's words, the emperor couldn't help but closed his eyes, and the entire Cining Palace fell into a brief silence.

After a long while, the emperor stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your teachings. I will keep them in mind."

Looking at the emperor's leaving figure, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.

Qing Jue saw the unconcealable sadness in the Queen Mother's eyes and stepped forward to comfort her.

"Empress, Your Majesty was just in a moment of anger back then, but now you seem to have figured it out."

The Queen Mother shook her head, put the beads in her hand on the tray held by the maid beside her, and stood up holding Qing Ju's hand.

"You still don't understand. He has been in the position of emperor for a long time. He is aloof and accustomed to flattery. He will naturally be unhappy if Ke'er doesn't follow his wishes."

"This is not just a moment of anger. He has made it clear that he wants to suppress Ke'er."

Qing Jue frowned slightly, "Mother, is there any misunderstanding in this?"

"The prince is the crown prince and your majesty's only eldest son. How could your majesty do this?"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, returned to the inner hall and took off her coat. Only then did she have someone squeeze her shoulders.

"Why can't he do this? There is only one prince, but the emperor has more than one son."

Qing Jue's heart skipped a beat when she thought of what was going on with the Eighth Prince these days.

The Queen Mother caught a glimpse of Qing Jue's expression and chuckled, but the smile never reached her eyes.

"Where do you think Lao Ba got the courage to form a clique in the court for personal gain? Isn't it all under his control?"

Qing Ju didn't speak, but his eyes gradually showed worry.

Although she is just a servant serving the Queen Mother, she also understands that if the royal family in the court participates in forming cliques for personal gain, unless she takes that position in the future, the outcome will not be good.

"Then Princess Chaoyang..."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and asked the palace maid to massage her head, but even so, she seemed to see Qing Jue's worried expression.

"Lao Ba's biological mother is just a concubine with no rank. If there is no powerful in-laws to help, how can the Mu family be restrained? How can the prince of the dynasty be restrained?"

Qingju couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

"You don't have to worry. This is the trouble he caused himself, and he will find a way to deal with it himself."
