She could not listen calmly to an outsider call her mother and watch that person occupy everything that should have belonged to her son.

Madam Qiu also knew about these things. Even the reason why Empress Dowager Wei lost that child was related to every woman in the harem, including the current emperor’s biological mother.

However, what could Empress Dowager Wei do? She couldn’t possibly let the Shangguan family die for her child, right?

After experiencing the chaotic times, she no longer wanted to see sorrow everywhere.

She walked far away. What someone doesn’t know can’t hurt them.

“Unfortunately, I realized that coming back won’t change anything.” She looked tired.

Imperial Concubine Liu did not dare to stop her from seeing the emperor, but so what? She had been in the palace for dozens of years, so how could she not understand what was going on?

Madam Qiu opened her mouth to say something.

Empress Dowager Wei continued, “If I remember correctly, you told me that this girl is Song Daniu’s granddaughter-in-law?”

When Empress Dowager Wei left the capital, Song Yi had just married Madam Li and Song Jingchen hadn’t been born yet.

Madam Qiu paused and realized who Song Daniu was. She nodded and said,

“Yes, you still remember.”

Actually, very few people in the capital knew Old Master Song’s name before he changed his name. Empress Dowager Wei knew because she had followed the late emperor to the battlefield back then and had known Old Master Song for a long time.

“The Song family is good. Our Shangguan family has let them down.”

Now, not to mention Shen Yijia, even Madam Qiu did not understand what she meant.

Empress Dowager Wei did not say anything else. She turned to Shen Yijia and said, “Did you bring that powerful maidservant beside you?”

Shen Yijia was stunned. She only had MO Yuan by her side.

Empress Dowager Wei knew that she must have mentioned MO Yuan’s medical skills because Madam Qiu had told her about it.

Shen Yijia lowered her eyes. “She didn’t follow me in.”

Not everyone could bring a maidservant into the palace.

“Huixin, make a trip and bring her in,” Empress Dowager Wei instructed.

“Yes.”

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Huixin walked in with MO Yuan. Only then did Empress Dowager Wei say that she wanted her to take a look at the emperor.

Shen Yijia had already guessed it when she asked about MO Yuan. She answered honestly because she wanted to take this opportunity to see the situation of the useless emperor. This was a rare opportunity, so she naturally agreed.

Although technically, she couldn’t refuse.

Empress Dowager Wei instructed someone to carry a palanquin over. There were a total of two palanquins. The Empress Dowager’s special palanquin walked in front, while Shen Yijia and Madam Qiu rode in the same palanquin and fell a few steps behind.

The group headed for Yangxin Hall.

This was Shen Yijia’s first time sitting on this thing, so she could not help but find it novel. She could not help but take a few more glances. Madam Qiu thought that she was worried and comforted her. “Don’t worry, the empress dowager is different from the other members of the Shangguan family.”

After all, she had been on the battlefield and the empress dowager had been domineering when she was young. However, no matter how domineering a woman was, she would be worn down after entering this harem. However, Madam Qiu knew that the empress dowager’s heart had never changed.

Otherwise, she would not have given up the wealth and glory in the palace and resolutely run to a bitter place like the imperial mausoleum. She even stayed there for nearly 20 years.

“I’m not worried,” Shen Yijia said seriously.

Before they entered Yangxin Hall, they saw more than ten people kneeling at the door from afar. When they got closer, they realized that the people kneeling there were Shangguan Yu and another baby-faced purple-robed youth.

Shen Yijia remembered him. When she first entered the capital, he had argued with her about the words written by a talented scholar. Later on, she had seen him once on the emperor’s birthday. That was when she found out that he was the emperor’s third son, Lord Rui, Shangguan Heng.

The carriage stopped. Empress Dowager Wei glanced at everyone indifferently and asked, “What’s going on?”

Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Heng were the first to react. “Greetings,

Grandmother.”

The ministers quickly kowtowed and bowed. “Greetings, Empress Dowager.”

Empress Dowager Wei frowned and said, “The emperor is resting inside. Why are all of you kneeling here?”

Shangguan Yu moved his stiff legs. Before he could speak, Shangguan Heng interrupted, “Grandmother, we were also worried about Father, so we wanted to see him, but they wouldn’t let us in.”

As he spoke, he glanced unhappily at the imperial guards guarding the entrance of Yangxin Hall.

Empress Dowager Wei looked over.

Commander MO cupped his hands and said with a straight face, “Empress Dowager, we’re only following His Majesty’s instructions. Moreover, the imperial physician has also instructed that His Majesty needs to recuperate now. ”

Shangguan Heng sneered.. “Then why can Eldest Brother enter? Are you obeying Father or Eldest Brother?”
