Chapter 1917: Chapter 1855: A Lifesaving Talisman

Looking at the silent Empress Dowager Mo, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up in Emperor Yan, who abruptly yanked her prayer beads, tearing them apart.

Da da da.

The string of beads snapped, and the beads scattered across the floor with a crisp sound.

Empress Dowager Mo glared angrily at Emperor Yan.

"Only like this, will Royal Mother be willing to look at me," a trace of bitterness and sadness flashed in Emperor Yan’s eyes.

Empress Dowager Mo suppressed her anger and said, "Emperor, since you can resort to drowning your own child to cover up your scandal, why would you still..." She gritted her teeth and said, "If the emperor finds the harem concubines not pleasing, let’s have a selection next year."

"You simply don’t understand, no matter how many newcomers, they are not you!" Emperor Yan roared.

Empress Dowager Mo sneered, "Then what do you want? What should be done, and what should not be done, don’t you understand?"

"I am the Emperor!"

"So you want to force your stepmother to cater to your whims for your amusement?" Empress Dowager Mo slammed the table with force, glaring in furious anger.

Emperor Yan said, "How could I, I sincerely..."

"The sincerity I need is your respect and affection as a son, not that filthy, perverse affection." Empress Dowager Mo interrupted him with disdain.

Empress Yan retreated two steps, filthy, disdainful, she hated him!

The two faced each other, outside the hall, Nanny Shui and Eunuch Lu exchanged glances, seeing the fear and helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Empress Dowager Mo took two deep breaths and said, "Leave, let the empress handle this matter."

"How does Royal Mother want to handle it?"

"You’re capable of harming a child under three, and now you ask me this, don’t you find it ironic?" Empress Dowager Mo chuckled coldly.

Emperor Yan flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

Empress Dowager Mo’s voice came again: "Emperor, I do not wish to see Ah Jiu and the others come to any harm."

"What if I cannot fulfill Royal Mother’s wish?" Emperor Yan turned back and said.

Empress Dowager Mo lowered her gaze and said, "Then I will accompany them."

Emperor Yan, breath strangled, pursed his lips tightly, laughed in fury: "Fine, very good, Royal Mother truly is a good mother!"

He swung his sleeves and left: "Proceed to Kunning Palace."

After Emperor Yan left, Nanny Shui hurriedly came in, seeing the scattered beads, she worriedly asked, "Madam, are you alright?"

Empress Dowager Mo leaned weakly against the welcoming pillow, exhausted, waved her hand and said, "I’m a bit dizzy, bring some medicinal oil for me to apply."

Nanny Shui quickly brought the medicinal oil to apply it to her temples, and then massaged it.

Empress Dowager Mo extended her hand to her, got up to go inside the sleeping quarters, sat on the bed, and summoned the Shadow Guard.

"Send someone to Puji Temple to protect the Prince and Princess Consort without fail," Empress Dowager Mo instructed with her eyes closed, and recalling the two were intelligent, she added, "If they notice, revealing your identity is fine, tell them not to meddle in palace affairs, otherwise it’s disrespectful."

"Understood."

"You may leave!"

The Shadow Guard came without a trace and disappeared in an instant.

Empress Dowager Mo sat in a daze for a while, climbed onto the Phoenix Bed, her hand touched the phoenix head of the bed, pressed down on the phoenix eye, and unexpectedly revealed a secret compartment.

She reached in, took out a small-leaf red sandalwood box, opened it, and inside lay a roll of bright yellow silk cloth, which she unfolded with trembling hands.

"...If the emperor is unfilial and disrespectful, the empress dowager may depose him..."

This was the last life-saving talisman the late emperor left for their mother and son.

"Late Emperor..." Empress Dowager Mo hugged the Imperial Edict, thinking of that wise and gentle man, tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.
