Chapter 237

The Imperial Concubine Dowager moved her lips twice, wanting to speak but stopping.

Finally, she looked at the Queen Mother deeply, knelt down and saluted, "Yes, I will take my leave."

He turned and left, and in a blink of an eye, only Qingying and her husband, and the Queen Mother were left in the hall.

With a frown on his face, Hongli sighed and said, "Empress Dowager, Longyue has passed away, and the one who married into the alliance..."

The Empress Dowager raised her brows slightly. "Didn't Jixiang say that even if Longyue is gone, there's still Wenyi. At worst, there's always a shortage of women of marriageable age among the clan. The Emperor doesn't need to worry about this matter."

Hearing this, Hongli's brows relaxed. "Yes, son, I understand."

"This matter is also due to my own inconsiderateness. I didn't expect Feng and Shen to be so crazy and completely disregard the royal family's reputation. They are truly ignorant."

The Queen Mother sighed softly and continued, "This matter of marriage has long been a precedent since the time of Emperor Kangxi. Even if you are unwilling, you shouldn't be so radical. This is really inappropriate."

"Please don't blame yourself, Empress Dowager. This is also due to my own inconsideration."

"Forget it. I will conduct a proper funeral with the Imperial Concubine Dowager and let Wen Yi marry in Longyue's place. It's late today, and you must be tired after all this fuss. You should go back early."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, a look of fatigue between her brows.

Hongli no longer refused.

He stood up with Qingying and said, "Yes, son, I'll take my leave."

As she watched the two men disappear in the hall, the empress dowager's expression returned to normal.

"Jianqiu, what did the Imperial Concubine say?"

"The Queen Mother wants to see her, so she has no choice but to wait."

With a light laugh, the Queen Mother stood up and said, "In that case, let's go."

Walking slowly along the way, the Queen Mother soon stopped outside the door of the Imperial Concubine's house.

Jixiang has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, she hurried forward and said, "Your servant greets the Queen Mother. Thank you for taking such a long journey. Please come in."

The Queen Mother glanced at Jixiang and said, "I have something to say to the Royal Concubine Dowager. You just wait outside."

"this…"

Just as Jixiang was about to speak, Huichun stopped him and said, "Jixiang, the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine is not something that everyone can hear. We should just wait outside."

Jixiang couldn't resist the strength of Huichun's hand, nor did he dare to act rudely in front of the Queen Mother.

All they could do was watch the Queen Mother lead Jianqiu into the house.

The room was dim with the candlelight.

The Queen Mother walked all the way to the Imperial Noble Consort and sat down, but she had no intention of speaking.

Even though the Imperial Concubine Dowager was mature and prudent, she could not withstand the power of the Empress Dowager.

"I send my regards to the Queen Mother."

Although he greeted him, he did not stand up.

The Queen Mother smiled indifferently and said, "You did a great job with Long Yue's Crane's Beak Red."

Just a few words made the imperial concubine change color.

"Your Majesty, you have already promised that this matter has nothing to do with me. I wonder why you are bringing it up again now?"

"Unrelated? How could there be no connection? As long as I have someone investigate carefully, we can always find the source of that Crane's Beak Red."

The Royal Concubine Dowager's expression suddenly turned ugly.

She didn't expect that the Queen Mother would go back on her word so without hesitation even though the plan had been decided long ago.

The news that Feng and the other woman wanted Wen Yi to replace Longyue in the marriage was revealed to her by the Empress Dowager.

Longyue is Feng's destiny, and the same is true for Wen Yi.

Moreover, she is meticulous and never does anything that would put her at a disadvantage. How could she allow the Feng family's schemes to fall upon her without any fight back?

If you just want to keep Wen Yi, you have to cooperate with the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, just this one time, he was firmly under the control of the Empress Dowager.

After bowing her head for a moment, the Imperial Concubine raised her head and asked, "I wonder if the Empress Dowager has anything else that she would like me to do?"

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, "I knew it. Compared to Feng, you are more rational."

After he finished speaking, his armor clattered twice on the edge of the table, and he continued, "Although Feng is stupid, he did say one thing correctly. Without Longyue, the only person left for the marriage is Wen Yi."

The Queen Mother's voice was calm, but the words she spoke made the Imperial Concubine feel a sudden chill.

Ignoring any rules, she leaned forward suddenly and said, "Queen Mother, you promised me that as long as I listen to you, you won't let Wen Yi marry!"
