However, in the presence of the Empress, she did not dare to be disrespectful, and could only endure herself.

Right now, the most important thing was to get the emperor’s eldest grandson back.

“Queen Mother, the Princess Consort of Yu is disabled, Prince of Yu is absent too. She cannot even take care of herself and her two children, so how can she take care of the emperor’s eldest grandson?”

“Does the Princess Consort have clairvoyant eyes?” Jiang Ning leisurely peeled lychees, “How do you know I can’t take care of him? On the contrary, you are physically intact, so why do I see that the emperor’s eldest grandson is getting thinner?”

She did not mention the fact that Xiaoqian was sick.

Once said, the Empress would immediately ask her to send Xiaoqian into the palace.

That would put him back into the hands of the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort.

After all, the palace was their home-court advantage.

Ms. Ma did not dare to tell as well.

If she did, it would assign her an inescapable responsibility.

Both of them exchanged glances, knowing each other’s intentions.

The Empress sighed, “I am old, my body is getting weaker every day. The Emperor has few offspring, and there are not many people who can take care of Xiaoqian. For now, I’ll have to trouble the Princess Consort of Yu to look after him for a few days. Once Xiaoqian gets better, I’ll have him sent back.”

Ms. Ma’s expression changed slightly.

The Empress agreed to let Jiang Ning keep the emperor’s eldest grandson.

Fortunately, it was only temporary.

Seeing Jiang Ning appeasing the Empress, she knew that she wouldn’t gain anything by staying and simply excused herself, heading straight to Crystal Frost Hall.

What about the Empress?

The most important thing was to get the Emperor to speak up.

She entered respectfully, knelt down to salute, and when she looked up, she noticed that someone was already sitting next to the Emperor.

The person was coldly beautiful like a rhododendron.

There was only one person with such beauty and temperament in the palace.

Concubine Jin.

She actually appeared in Crystal Frost Hall?

Ms. Ma wouldn’t have been surprised if anyone else was here.

But only Concubine Jin.

This was indeed surprising.

Concubine Jin had entered the palace for twenty years and was never in the decline for all these years.

She was cold by nature and treated the Emperor perfunctorily.

Yet the Emperor was persistent, even if she never took the initiative to come to Crystal Frost Hall, the Emperor would still go after her.

When the Prince of Yu was punished to guard the Imperial Mausoleum, she had not even come to Crystal Frost Hall to plead for him; yet, today she came.

What day was this?

As Ms. Ma looked at the noble and coldly charming Concubine Jin, she felt an uneasy feeling in her heart.

“What does the Princess Consort have to say?” The Emperor asked.

Ms. Ma hurriedly replied, “Your son’s consort has come to report about the emperor’s eldest grandson.”

“I already know about this matter,” the Emperor said expressionlessly, “After the Princess Consort disciplines the servants of the East Palace well, go to the residence of Prince Yu to pick up the emperor’s eldest grandson. For now, let him stay at the residence of the Prince of Yu.”

Ms. Ma shuddered and quickly knelt down to thank the Emperor, “I will receive the order.”

After leaving Crystal Frost Hall, she leaned against a column, her legs feeling weak.

Could it be that Concubine Jin had spoken for the Princess Consort of Yu?

Was it possible?

By all accounts, the Princess Consort of Yu was Concubine Jin’s daughter-in-law, so it would be normal for her to help the Princess Consort of Yu. Yet, that was Concubine Jin!

She didn’t even help her own son, but she would help her daughter-in-law?

Ms. Ma couldn’t figure it out. She hurried back to the East Palace to inform Crown Prince Li Jixian of the events.

Li Jixian’s smile widened, “This is getting more and more interesting.”

“Lord, why does Concubine Jin help the Princess Consort of Yu?”

“Of course, it’s because the Princess Consort of Yu has given her something attractive enough to be moved. In this world, there’s no one without desires, it just depends on whether you can bring something tempting,” Li Jixian said meaningfully.

“What could that be?” Ms. Ma could not figure it out. “I’ve heard that the Emperor has given Concubine Jin so many treasures, but she doesn’t even take a look at them.”

“Do you think everyone else is as vulgar as you, only caring about money?” Li Jixian said with a smile, “Now, I’m getting interested in my fifth brother’s daughter-in-law..”
