Wen Xu had never expected that she would get to see a day when her son whom she loved so much and he also respected her, will say something like this.
She has brought him up to be the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty. She met with so many difficulties to get him the throne. Yet he threatened her to be removed from the position of Empress Dowager.
She has waited and yearned for this position for so long.
Ji Cheng's father died early, that's why his grandfather ruled over the Ji Dynasty. She didn't get to enjoy many powers under his control.
But when he died and Ji Cheng ascended the throne, she got the position of Empress Dowager since she was his mother.
She was stunned when she heard Ji Cheng threatening her about her position. He could not possibly do something before when his reign was weak and yet to be established.
But now, since he has made ties with other neighbouring rulers and has consolidated his power, he is trying to threaten her?
