Chapter 1907: Chapter 1845: All Playing a Role

Wufu and Ah Jiu stayed at Puji Temple, and during their leisure, they would go to the main hall to listen to sermons and meditate, or go to the pavilion on the rear mountain of Puji Temple to tread the snow in search of plum blossoms. Occasionally, they would go down the mountain to the villa of Marquis Xuanping’s Mansion to feast, and the days passed swiftly.

Their days passed lightly, but it was hard on those following them. During the days they were having an ’epiphany’ at Puji Temple, everyone had received their orders from the two masters, running back and forth between Puji Temple and the city.

Thus, even though the two were at Puji Temple, there was no lack of information from the royal city.

New information was sent back one by one, and orders were transmitted one by one, causing an undercurrent to quietly arise in the city.

The palace too was rife with undercurrents, and some secrets deeply buried in the recesses of memory were being unearthed bit by bit, with various forces contending.

Empress Dowager Mo had been very ill for several days, but finally showed signs of improvement, and the Emperor and Empress came hand in hand to inquire after her health.

"...I’m getting old, I’ll take my time resting, you are busy with palace affairs and state matters, what are you coming over here for?" Empress Dowager Mo was supported by each of them as she sat down on the Arhat bed, and she looked at them with a hint of annoyance.

Empress Song pursed her lips in a smile and said: "No matter how busy or how much there is, can it be more important than Royal Mother? Isn’t that right, Emperor?"

"The Empress’s words are very true." Emperor Yan sat upright and looked at Empress Dowager Mo, saying: "I dare not be unfilial."

Empress Dowager Mo accepted the jujube and longan tea presented by Nanny Shui, took a sip, glanced at them with the corners of her eyes, and then looked up, saying: "Filial piety is in the heart, not on the surface. Whether you are filial or not, I am clear in my heart."

These words seemed to have an implicit meaning, causing Emperor Yan’s brows to crease slightly as he held up his tea to take a sip.

Empress Song glanced over, deliberately joking: "Is Royal Mother blaming us for not serving you well? If you think there is any inadequacy in what we do, point it out to us; you can’t just educate the Wife of the Ninth!"

"Don’t mention that one who doesn’t know their place!" Empress Dowager Mo suddenly slammed the teacup down on the small table beside her, her face full of anger.

"Royal Mother." Emperor Yan was startled, displeased as he threw a glance at Empress Song; was she hitting the sore spot?

Empress Song knelt down immediately, her face full of apprehension and said: "Royal Mother, calm your anger, I am fearful."

"Get up." Empress Dowager Mo looked at her head adorned with pearls and jade and said.

Empress Song stood up from the ground.

Emperor Yan then said: "Royal Mother, if you’re displeased, since the jade butterfly hasn’t been issued, we can replace it with the Princess Consort of Jin."

Empress Dowager Mo snorted lightly: "As if a change can be made just like that! Where would that leave the face of the Ninth? He is blinded by Madam Zhou now, changing things now would make him fight to the death with me, wouldn’t it? Never mind, let’s wait and watch."

The two, Emperor and Empress, exchanged a glance, looking at Empress Dowager Mo, seeing her furious yet helpless expression. Could she really have a grievance against those two?

Empress Dowager Mo then turned her gaze to Empress Song and asked: "How is the Noble Lady Li?"

At those words, Empress Song looked at Emperor Yan.

Noble Lady Li was involved in scheming against the Princess Consort of Jin during the Longevity Festival, and she was still confined in the palace. Emperor Yan only ordered house arrest, saying nothing else, nor did he impose punishment.

"Why bring her up, Royal Mother? She is pregnant with a dragon child, and she is just nurturing her pregnancy in the palace." Emperor Yan said indifferently.

Empress Dowager Mo frowned and sighed, saying: "That child doesn’t seem foolish; conduct a careful investigation, lest she be wrongly accused while the real culprits hide in the shadows enjoying themselves."

"Yes."

Empress Song’s brow twitched slightly, but the corners of her lips still held a smile.

After finishing, Empress Dowager Mo again directed her words to Empress Song: "How is your health being managed? Still no news?"
