Zhu Liling was seated with her face toward the large hemispherical window structure.

“Her Royal Highness the Queen Dowager, Her Majesty the Queen is here,” the maidservant informed Zhu Liling in a humble tone.

Jin Yu wondered if Zhu Liling would give a response or not. After a minute, Zhu Liling asked, “why is the Queen here?”

“Queen Mother, first, I would like to thank you for allowing me to see you,” Jin Yu said and bowed to her.

Zhu Liling turned to face her and asked her to take a seat. Jin Yu settled on the floor chair.

“How does it feel like to be the Queen?” Zhu Liling questioned her.

“It is normal for me, Queen Mother,” Jin Yu replied.

Zhu Liling sneered at her. “The phoenix crown that I possessed looks good on you,” she stated while being informal to Jin Yu.

.....

“Queen Mother, we all were distressed by the Royal Father’s death.” Jin Yu didn’t loop around to talk to Zhu Liling. She was a straightforward person.

“If the Queen has come to remind me what my late husband did, then she may leave,” Zhu Liling coldly said.

“The Queen Mother still has not realized what her late husband’s crimes were. She should not forget that the former King destroyed many lives for his personal benefit,” Jin Yu expressed her thoughts.

“The Queen can leave. I have no interest in listening to her,” Zhu Liling asserted and looked away from her.

“I will leave if her royal highness answers my one query,” Jin Yu pronounced.

“Say it,” Zhu Liling allowed her.

“Why is the Queen Mother upset with her own son? Will hating the King bring her husband back? As the Queen Mother, she should understand her son better than anyone. My only request to the Queen Mother is not to despise her son,” Jin Yu stated and stood up. She bowed and turned around to leave.

She walked out of the chamber and twitched her lips. “Why is she behaving strangely? She is too invested in her husband,” Jin Yu mumbled and thought if she should keep an eye on the Queen.

Inside the chamber, Zhu Liling called in her most trustable servant.

“I want you to arrange a poison. Be careful while performing the task,” Zhu Liling stated.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.” The woman said and bowed.

Zhu Liling told her the name of the poison that she needed and asked her to deliver it by tomorrow evening. The servant left the chamber while Zhu Liling rubbed her fingers together.

Mingquan went to see his mother in her chamber. After formally greeting her, Mingquan took a seat.

“How is mother doing?” He asked with a worried tone.

“That is one tough question to answer,” Ruoxi replied and placed a gold plaque in front of him on the table. Mingquan confusedly looked at her and asked her about it.

“I want you to meet the daughter of the state minister,” Ruoxi said and told him that the gold plaque belonged to his family.

“Mother knows well that I am not ready to marry,” Mingquan stated.

“I didn’t ask you to marry tomorrow,” Ruoxi clarified to him. “I ask you to meet Minister Lin’s daughter,” she affirmed. She told him how the Lin family helped her father and later her when she married Qiu Zedong.

“So, mother wants to return the favor to the Lin Family,” Mingquan deduced.

“For that, Prince Mingquan has to agree to the marriage. Currently, I want him to meet the Lin family’s daughter. If he does not like her, then I will not ask him to move ahead with this proposal,” Ruoxi explained to her son.

“I will meet Lin’s family daughter. When should I meet her? Did Minister Lin tell anything about this?” Mingquan asked.

Ruoxi was delighted to hear the quick decision of her son. She thought he would argue with her for looking for a marriage proposal when he was not interested.

“Is Prince Mingquan free the day after tomorrow? In the morning, he can meet the Lin family’s daughter,” Ruoxi opined.

“I will be free. Do I need to go to the Lin residence to see her?” He inquired.

“I will discuss the same with Minister Lin and inform you,” Ruoxi stated. Mingquan hummed and asked her why she didn’t take her meals last night.

Ruoxi didn’t expect that he would know about it. “Eunuch Qi informed me. Mother should not neglect her health,” he said with a concerned look.

“Why doesn’t Prince Mingquan have dinner with me tonight?” Ruoxi suggested.

“Sure. I will dine with my mother,” Mingquan said with a smile.

“Earlier, in the day, Sister Xiuying told me that Prince Mingquan knew why Lóng Wei killed his mother. Yet, he didn’t tell anyone. May I know?” Ruoxi inquired.

“Because he would be dead then,” Mingquan instantly answered. “Also, I would like to correct my mother,” he humbly said.

Ruoxi knitted her brows to hear him.

“Brother Lóng Wei didn’t kill his mother. It was his mother who shoved the sword inside her. Because Brother Lóng Wei had held it and pulled it out, he told everyone that he committed that grave sin. It was Father who planned all of this and forced Lóng Wei’s mother,” Mingquan said. He didn’t like when anyone would say that Lóng Wei killed Yu Jun.

“I am out of words. I do not know what to say. On one hand, he was my husband, but on the other hand, he did so many wrong things,” Ruoxi asserted and lowered her head.

“I also detested Lóng Wei for a long time. But the day I found out about it, my heart melted and ached at the same time,” Ruoxi said and again looked at her son.

“Brother Lóng Wei never sees any of us as a threat. He wanted to live, but he paid a huge cost for that. My Late Father was vicious to him and his mother. So, I never liked my father. I want my mother to see Lóng Wei as her son when he returns to the palace,” Mingquan expressed his desire with a tiny smile.

“I will try,” Ruoxi assured her son.
