Empress Wei could be seen drinking the chrysanthemum tea along with his son, Jian Guozhi. "Mother, I do not love Xue Yu. Still, for your sake, I agreed to make her my consort. But, does the mother think it is going to benefit me in any way?" Jian Guozhi raised his doubt as he sipped the tea.
"You lost the seat of the crown prince. I had told you that time not to be indecisive and see what has happened? Sheng Li has acquired the throne. He is the fifth son of his majesty but the most favored one. That's why as soon as you are dethroned, his majesty without giving any second thought put him on the throne," Empress Wei stated as she tightened her grip around the porcelain cup.
