Looking at the tactful Defei leaving her palace, the Empress Dowager’s thoughts were complex. She never expected that this Mei Siyu would have such seductive skills, not only capturing her son’s heart and no longer summoning other concubines, but even Yun was deeply infatuated with her and unable to extricate himself. She had already warned Yun, but he was unrepentant and repeatedly made mistakes, even going so far as to resist the imperial marriage with his life!
All of this was caused by this wretched woman. She could no longer sit idly by. Now, only she could subdue this seductive fox, the Empress Dowager thought to herself with determination.

In the Yangfeng Palace!
“Xiaoruo, is what you just said true?” Mei Siyu furrowed her delicate eyebrows, asking in a low, gentle voice.
“Absolutely true. You will soon be named Empress, and if your mother were alive, she would be very pleased,” Xiaoruo said with a hint of excitement, truly happy for her mistress.
“That’s not the point. I’m asking about the Third Imperial Brother’s matter. Is it true?” Mei Siyu asked urgently. She never expected the Third Imperial Brother to openly challenge the Emperor in front of the court officials and take the blame himself, which made her previously calm heart inexplicably worried.
“This is also true. I heard the Empress Dowager already knows. The situation is quite chaotic. He once bullied you like that. Why do you still care about his affairs? It’s not worth your effort!” Xiaoruo’s mouth curled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of indignation.
Mei Siyu didn’t wait for her to finish speaking and walked directly towards the Emperor’s palace, determined to ask about the matter clearly, her mood anxious and flustered.
She gently approached Mu Lengchen, who was focused on reviewing documents at the desk. She saw his elegant eyebrows slightly furrowed, his lips lightly pursed, and a hint of worry in his eyes, which made her heart ache. So, she covered his eyes from behind, waiting for his reaction, wanting to bring him a moment of relief.
“Yuer, is that you?” Mu Lengchen put down the documents in his hand, gently grasping her delicate hand, speaking softly.
