Empress Dowager Su concealed her doubts in her heart, and asked Su Wan'er a few questions in a pretentious manner. Su Wan'er looked sick, and answered her a few words weakly.

Empress Dowager Su then turned to Prime Minister Su and talked about Mu Qingchen vomiting blood: "I'm vomiting blood again, it doesn't look like this will last long, have you arranged everything outside?"

"The arrangement is ready, don't worry." Su Xiang replied confidently. "Now we're waiting for Wan'er to give birth to a child."

This intimate sentence Wan'er was no different to the Queen Mother Su's ears before, but today she feels uncomfortable all over.

She always felt that something was stuck in her heart, and she didn't realize why until she left Su Wan'er's bedroom.

In the past, Su's attitude towards her was always respectful, and Su Wan'er treated her in the same way, but today, neither Su Xiang nor Su Wan'er treated her with the same respect as before.

Originally, this subtle difference was nothing, but Queen Mother Su has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she knows that there will never be any deep love in this imperial power struggle.

In the past, she was the empress dowager who was admired by thousands of people. Su Xiang needed her support to act well, but now Su Xiang has become popular. As long as Mu Qingchen dies, he can use the child in Su Wan'er's womb to hold the emperor to order the princes. At that time, how could she be able to compete with him if she was a girl and lived in the deep palace?

If Su Xiang didn't love her as much as he said, the consequences would be disastrous.

Empress Dowager Su felt uneasy, and immediately after returning to the palace, she asked her confidants to go secretly to the imperial physician who treated Su Wan'er yesterday to ask about the situation.

The imperial doctor replied that the imperial concubine is fine, this sentence made the Empress Dowager Su's face extremely ugly.

Su Wan'er was fine, but Su Xiang, the so-called father, was guarding Su Wan'er's palace on the grounds that she was sick, which was obviously abnormal.

Before, Empress Dowager Su thought that the two of them had a child after all, and that Su Xianghui would treat her well for the sake of the child, but now she suddenly realized something was wrong.

The imperial power is nothing to father and son's affection, so the Empress Dowager Su was worried and rushed to order the palace servants to announce her and Prime Minister Su's illegitimate son Su Zicheng into the palace.

But he didn't expect that before the palace servants left the palace, news came from outside that Su Zicheng had sex with a prostitute and died on the prostitute's bed.

Hearing the news, Queen Mother Su was furious and fainted on the spot.

When Su Xiang received the news of his son's death, he also rushed home. Seeing Su Zicheng's stiff body, he didn't feel any sadness, but heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Su Zicheng was not Empress Dowager Su and his child at all. The child that Empress Dowager Su gave birth to died not long after raising her. In order to deceive Empress Dowager Su into doing things for him, he deliberately found a child to raise in the mansion to deceive Empress Su.

Originally, he wanted to clean up Su Zicheng after things were done, but he didn't expect that his life would be so short-lived, and he left early, which made him less worried.

Compared to Su Xiang, Empress Dowager Su was extremely sad. She and Su Xiang secretly crossed Chencang, and then gave birth to Su Zicheng in her boudoir. Later, she was favored by the former emperor and entered the palace as a concubine. So all her efforts and means were always for Su Zicheng.

Because Su Zicheng was his own son, he planned desperately, hoping that one day he would be able to add a yellow robe to his son, but he never thought that his son's life would be so short.

The Empress Dowager Su was heartbroken, thinking that Mu Qingchen was seriously ill and would go to bed again, and she couldn't care less about it, so she went to the Su Mansion to express her condolences, crying so heartbroken, and finally passed out from exhaustion.

A little conscious in the haze, I heard someone whispering outside, "The eldest young master is gone, and the eldest lady came back without even a drop of tears. What's the reason?"

"I don't know? How can I say that the eldest young master is also considered as the elder brother of the eldest lady, why doesn't she feel sad? And the master, the master is not sad at all, but looks a little happy instead. It's really incomprehensible."

"What do you know, I heard that the young master is not the master's son, he was brought back from outside..."

"Don't talk nonsense, if people listen to it, you don't want to live anymore?"
