Chapter 508

Noble Consort Liu’s look and tone were warm and soft, but the meaning that came out of these words was that Qin Jiu accompanied Old Madam Wei to the palace to plead for her grandfather, and since Qin Jiu was now the Chen County Princess, her attitude naturally represents Gu Zezhi’s attitude as well.

Empress Dowager Liu put down the teacup expressionlessly and said it bluntly. “Xiao Jiu was here just the day before yesterday.”

“……” Noble Consort Liu’s face was stiffened.

Qin Jiu smiled and said, “I haven’t seen Empress Dowager Liu for quite some time. Every time I come to Shouning Palace to pay respects to Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Liu is not available.” Qin Jiu’s words were not empty. Even on the day after her wedding, when she came to Shouning Palace to recognize her, Empress Dowager Liu did not show up, saying that she was feeling unwell.

Empress Dowager Liu no longer paid attention to Noble Consort Liu and asked Empress Wei, “Your mother is here?”

Empress Wei nodded and answered, “Answering to imperial mother, she just arrived in my palace before a cup of tea time.” She said this and glanced at the Noble Consort Liu. Old Madam Wei just entered the palace, and yet Noble Consort Liu already “knew” about this.

Noble Consort Liu still held her head high, smiling as she met Empress Wei.

She has been living under Empress Wei for many years, but things have changed. This time, the evidence was conclusive, and it would not be easy for Empress Wei to escape unscathed.

Empress Dowager Liu greeted Empress Wei with a few words before saying. “Empress before your mother leaves the palace, please ask her to come over to visit this empress dowager. She and I haven’t seen each other for several years, it’s a rare trip for her to come to the capital and just in time to catch up with this empress dowager.”

Empress Wei bowed and responded with a smile.

Empress Dowager Liu let out a sigh and said meaningfully, “The affairs of the front court belong to the court, and the affairs of the harem belong to the harem.”

Empress Dowager Liu specially called Empress Wei to ease her heart. Regardless of whether Lord Wei was guilty or not, it would not have affected the Empress.

Empress Wei’s eyes widened slightly with some surprise, and after being stunned for a moment, she got up and bowed to Empress Dowager Liu, “Thank you for imperial mother’s care.” She frankly accepted Empress Dowager Liu’s kindness.

Previously, Empress Dowager Liu hoped that her grandson, the second prince Gu Jing, could inherit the throne. After all, he had the blood of the Liu family in his body. However, the various behaviors exhibited by Gu Jing in the past two years have truly disappointed Empress Dowager Liu and made her unable to see him as the crown prince of the country.

Empress Dowager Liu has long abandoned this idea.

After all, for her, Gu Jing was her grandson, and Gu Zhen was also her grandson, so it would be the same if he succeeded the throne.

Besides, in the past, Empress Dowager Liu was eager to establish a crown prince because the emperor’s dragon body was poor. She was somewhat afraid that if the emperor had an accident and if the country did not establish a crown prince, Gu Jing would be more suitable than Gu Zhen. However, now that the emperor’s dragon body was gradually improving, Empress Dowager Liu was at ease and no longer wanted to interfere in court affairs. It was not until just now, when Noble Consort Liu and Gu Jing, the mother and son came and talked in a roundabout way, that she learned that Lord Chengen wanted to impeach the empress’s father, Lord Wei, today.

Noble Consort Liu: “!”

Gu Jing: “!”
