Chapter 1840: Chapter 1778: Mutual Threats Between Mother and Son

Seeing the emperor almost about to utter inappropriate words, Empress Dowager Mo sharply commanded, "Emperor, watch your words."

Nanny Shui noticed this and quietly dismissed the palace maids, retreating herself to the corner of the hall, her heart pounding, only using the corner of her eye to observe the two of them.

Like her, Eunuch Lu also felt something was amiss, thinking that the master was becoming increasingly difficult to serve.

Empress Dowager Mo raised her voice, seeing Emperor Yan look at her, she couldn’t help but soften her tone and ask, "Has the emperor been too busy with state affairs recently, anxious and exhausted? No matter how busy the state affairs are, you must take care of the dragon body, you are the emperor, the master of the realm, the dragon body is the most important."

Yet Emperor Yan curled his lip and said, "Mother cares, is it from the heart, or is it just perfunctory and insincere?"

Empress Dowager Mo’s expression changed dramatically, "Emperor, you!"

"So that’s why I’m so resentful. Mother cares wholeheartedly for Brother Jiu, wanting him to be happy. But for me, it’s only superficial; Mother never considers if I’m happy, even if Mother cares about my health, it’s only to say my dragon body is the ruler of the world!"

Empress Dowager Mo looked at him in shock, wondering if Emperor Yan had gone mad.

Emperor Yan’s face was unpleasant; he wasn’t just picking fights, where there is comparison, there is injury. True or false intentions become more evident with comparison, how could he not be angry?

"Mother, if Ah Jiu knew about us..."

"Silence!"

Empress Dowager Mo was so angry that she trembled, smashing the tea cup in her hand at Emperor Yan’s feet, angrily shouting, "Is the emperor mad? Speaking recklessly and without care!"

"Mother!"

Emperor Yan stood up, raising his voice, frightening Nanny Shui and Eunuch Lu in the distance to kneel down, trembling.

Empress Dowager Mo’s lips trembled as she looked at Emperor Yan, watching as he approached.

Emperor Yan grabbed her wrist, leaning close to her ear and said, "Ah Jiu knows, will he still respect Mother as he did before? Mother, Ah Jiu has grown up; he is no longer a child. Some things cannot be hidden."

Empress Dowager Mo’s eyes widened, showing fear.

She closed her eyes briefly and said, "I’m weary, Emperor please leave!"

"Mother..."

"Is the emperor trying to force me to voluntarily guard the Imperial Mausoleum to pray for blessings for the former emperor?" Empress Dowager Mo’s eyes sent a cold glare towards him.

Emperor Yan’s expression changed, standing upright.

The two faced each other; in the grand hall, the temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Emperor Yan suddenly smirked, stepped back two paces, and said, "Since Mother is weary, take a rest, son takes his leave!"

Empress Dowager Mo closed her eyes, pressed her lips and didn’t utter a word.

Emperor Yan walked out, casting a downward glance at Nanny Shui as he passed.

Nanny Shui didn’t dare raise her head; she prostrated herself, almost sticking to the floor tiles, until the glimpse of the bright yellow walked out of the hall and she heard the sound of the emperor departing, only then did she shakily rise from the ground and approach Empress Dowager Mo.

"Madam..."

"Shui Xin." Empress Dowager Mo gripped Shui Xin’s hand firmly, pinching tightly, "Shui Xin, Ah Jiu won’t know, will he?"

"Madam..." Nanny Shui looked at her with pity.

"No, cannot let Ah Jiu know." Empress Dowager Mo incoherently said, "Not at this time, cannot, someone come."

Someone emerged from the shadows, kneeling in front of Empress Dowager Mo.

Empress Dowager Mo opened her mouth, suddenly closed her eyes again, and said, "It’s nothing, you may leave!"

Some matters, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, she couldn’t do it.

Nanny Shui watched Empress Dowager Mo’s expression of pain, her eyes were red; what should be done?

Later, when Emperor Song visited Cining Palace to pay respects, he was informed that Empress Dowager Mo was unwell and had rested, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, summoning a trusted palace servant to quietly give instructions.
