The next day, the emperor looked at the green cards brought up by the Jingshifang and directly turned over Nian Shilan's card.

When the queen heard the news, she went straight to Shoukang Palace.

Not long after, the emperor received a summons from the empress dowager.

After arriving at Shoukang Palace, they exchanged greetings.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor who was becoming more majestic, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is not a problem that the Nian family is powerful. For the sake of the heir, Your Majesty must also treat this newcomer equally."

The emperor looked up at the empress dowager and said, "My son has removed the Huanyi incense from the Yikun Palace. When Shilan recovers, she will give birth to an heir to the throne."

When the Queen Mother heard about the withdrawal of Huan Yi Xiang, she thought that Nian Shi Lan had discovered something. The Emperor withdrew publicly, but was still using tricks behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, it was the Emperor who wanted Nian Shi Lan to give birth to a child.

How is this possible? The Nian family is so powerful, how can giving birth to a prince protect the honor of the Ulanara family?

The Queen Mother said directly: "No! Isn't the Emperor afraid that the Nian family will force the prince to abdicate?"

The emperor thought of this world, and how he had aborted Shilan's child himself. He felt a pain in his heart and said, "Shilan and my son have been married for many years. I know everything about the Nian family and Shilan. Mother, the glory of the Ulanara family should not be placed on a woman."

The Queen Mother was exposed and she argued unhappily: "Mother is doing this for your own good, for the sake of your throne. What are you talking about?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "I will protect Shilan. Whoever wants to attack Shilan, no matter who it is, I will not show mercy."

The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

Zhuxi stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and advised: "Your Majesty, although the Queen Mother has selfish motives, she is really doing this for your own good. I hope your Majesty will understand."

The emperor ordered: "Please ask the imperial physician to come and check my mother's pulse."

The imperial physician came and examined the empress dowager's pulse before the emperor left Shoukang Palace.

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, the emperor went directly to Yikun Palace.

On the way, the emperor thought of Concubine Duan who served safflower soup to Shilan, and said, "Concubine Duan has been ill for a long time and is unable to perform the duties of a high-ranking concubine. It is difficult for her to even pay respects to the queen. She will be demoted to a noble lady and cannot leave unless summoned."

Su Peisheng had gotten used to it these days and responded calmly.

Only after escorting the emperor to the Yiku Palace did Su Peisheng go to the Yanqing Palace to announce the decree.

In Yikun Palace, the emperor and Nian Shilan got along like an ordinary couple.

The two of them ate a simple meal, and Songzhi did not serve the dishes.

After the meal, Nian Shilan drank the tonic soup that was served to her.

This body was injured by a bowl of safflower soup that day, and it has been fumigated with Huanyi incense for many years. If it is not recuperated for three to five years, it will not be cured.

The emperor felt sorry for Nian Shilan who had to drink bitter medicine soup every day, but they both had regrets in their hearts and wanted to give birth to the child and raise him well.

In this dynasty, offspring are the foundation.

If a man doesn't let a woman bear his children, that can't be love.

In Jingren Palace, the Queen was flipping through the history books, her face becoming increasingly cold.

Jianqiu advised: "My lady, the enthronement ceremony will be held in a few days."

The Queen sighed and said, "The days in this palace go by so slowly. I really wish the enthronement ceremony could be held tomorrow."

In Qixiang Palace, Lipin threw her pillow and cursed inwardly: "What a foxy woman, she seduces the emperor every day. In the past, she could let me drink some soup, but these days she has been dominating the emperor. It's so embarrassing at my age, bah!"

In the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, Cao Qinmo, who had moved from Yikun Palace, sat with Xin Changzai and Guo Yingfeng, looking at the two princesses on the couch.
