After I heard what the emperor said, I lowered my head and kept silent. Then I gave the emperor another piece of duck and said:

"Silang's decisions are all good, and Shilan will definitely live in harmony with the six palaces. Although the matter with Concubine Duan is a thing of the past, I still can't get over it. Shilan will still be sad for my child who can't open his eyes to see the world. But what Silang said is just consolation, so I will listen to Silang!"

After I finished speaking, I forced a smile and looked at the emperor.

The emperor was very satisfied with my answer and said to me with a smile:

"Shilan is really gentle, considerate and sensible, so let's do it!"

This dog emperor is just testing me. First, he is testing whether I am narrow-minded, and second, he is testing whether I have reconciled with Concubine Duan. The dog emperor has been constantly weighing and balancing!

The purpose is to prevent any force from being beyond his control. Even if I let him think that I have a close connection with Chun Yuan, it won’t work!

But what he doesn't know is that the two of us have already stood together for the sake of interests!

After returning to the palace, the emperor became much colder towards the Third Prince, and most of the time he simply ignored him, which made the Third Prince feel heartbroken. However, the Third Prince was the eldest son after all, so most of the time the emperor would still act with the Third Prince because of the conventional concept!

For example, the sacrifice to the late emperor that will be held soon!

The Fourth Prince also realized this problem and mentioned it many times in my palace:

"Mother, although Third Brother has no help now, the Emperor still thinks highly of him."

I nodded and said:

"It's just a matter of concept. He is the eldest son after all. But you can only keep one of you two!"

After I finished speaking, the Fourth Prince immediately understood what I meant and said:

"The Third Prince has lost his helper and has often used military advisors. He is indeed not as good as before!"

I smiled and said:

"So, if you only keep one, you have to control the direction and speed yourself!"

"You understand me, go ahead and don't worry. I will take care of everything that happens after that for you!"

It was still the familiar imperial garden, and it was still the familiar scene of the Fourth Prince waiting for the Third Prince.

The Fourth Prince had a sad face, while the Third Prince was smiling. He looked at the Fourth Prince and asked:

"Why do you look so sad, fourth brother?"

"Third brother, you are arranging the sacrificial ceremony for the late emperor. I feel so guilty that I can't help you!"

At this time, the Third Prince was very proud to comfort the Fourth Prince!

"Don't be so anxious, fourth brother. It's great that you have this intention! Other matters are not for us, your sons, to decide!"

The fourth prince nodded and said:

"My younger brother is ignorant! He is indeed not as thoughtful as my third brother. It's just that my younger brother just went to the clan house to visit my eighth uncle and fourteenth uncle."

When the Third Prince heard what the Fourth Prince said, he immediately looked around and said:

"How can Fourth Brother go to the clan house to see them! They have committed a serious crime! If others hear this, it will be terrible!"

The Fourth Prince looked at the Third Prince with trust and said:

"That's because Third Brother is my elder brother. I wouldn't want to let anyone else go!"

The fourth prince continued:

"The Emperor imprisoned several clan members because of the succession issue. Whether it's the Eighth Uncle or the Fourteenth Uncle, they are all his brothers. If we can plead for the Eighth Uncle and the Fourteenth Uncle and let them be forgiven by the Emperor, then it will not only preserve the Emperor's eternal reputation and prevent people from talking about fratricide a hundred years later, but also allow the Empress Dowager to get a little comfort during her serious illness!"
