The Empress Dowager fainting was not a trivial matter, so even the intimation of a recognized prince plotting a rebellion would have to take a backseat to it. Moreover, Emperor Yue, who had doubts in his heart, stood up immediately: "I will go to see the Empress Dowager first. We can discuss this matter later!"
Lin Guoshu was not content, Chu Jiuzhong was not either, and Wei Jin, the director behind all of this, was certainly not satisfied.
But what could be done about it!
The one who fell ill was the Empress Dowager, who could stop him at this time!
The Empress Dowager was Emperor Yue's birth mother and had always been affectionate towards him over the years. She had almost lost her life several times for his sake. Now that she was facing hard times, Emperor Yue naturally showed extreme filial piety to the Empress Dowager.
He hurried into Cining Palace and headed straight for the Empress Dowager's sleeping quarters.
