Coming out of Kunning Palace, Li Duanjin looked at the blue sky outside, his heart seemed to be very broad, and he couldn't help but let out a foul breath.

I thought about it all night last night. There are some things that need to be done. If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. Only by cutting the mess quickly and stabilizing the backyard can you free up your hands to straighten out the affairs of You County and prevent Bei Rong.

"Place in the Cining Palace."

At this time, the Queen Mother was listening to the palace people telling about His Majesty's care for the Lin family, not only keeping the Lin family in the palace overnight, but also having meals with them, thinking that the last time they ate together was to make up for her birthday, but that time they broke up unhappy because of exposing His Majesty's deception to her.

She and His Majesty are mother and son, but now the two are getting farther and farther apart. Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager feels very sad.

"Master, Your Majesty is here." Jing Qiao came to report.

The Queen Mother was still angry, and said casually, "No see."

This sentence happened to be heard by Li Duanjin who was about to come in. Li Duanjin waved his hand and told the palace servants, "Go down."

Jingyi, Jingqiao and the others looked at the queen mother, hoping that the mother and son could settle their suspicions and get back together, so they retreated silently with all the palace people.

Only the queen mother and Li Duanjin were left in the palace, and Li Duanjin sat down opposite the queen mother and asked, "Why is the queen mother angry?"

The Empress Dowager was facing Li Duanjin with the back of her head. When she saw him asking this question, she was furious, and turned her head to scold, "Your Majesty is so capable, don't you know why the Ai family is angry? Let me ask you, when did you subdue Guo Delu?"

Guo Delu was single-handedly picked up by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was kind to him and saved his life. Guo Delu swore that he would be loyal to the Queen Mother in this life.

The Empress Dowager clearly told Guo Delu that Li Duanjin could not come out without her oral order, but she went to Kunning Palace as if nothing had happened to His Majesty, and then came to Compassionate Ning Palace, it was obvious that Guo Delu didn't take her will seriously.

This shows that the Empress Dowager is now dead in name only and cannot control the harem, let alone His Majesty is still fighting against her.

"My son has been in charge for six years. If you can't even control the imperial palace, how can you talk about controlling the territory of Datong?" Li Duanjin said lightly, "The queen mother taught my son the emperor's art since childhood. For an internal servant like Guo Delu, he will naturally listen to whoever can control his life and death."

"Does my mother think that I am fighting against you?" Li Duanjin asked, "On the contrary, I am doing it for the reputation of my mother and the safety of Datong."

It's just to punish the disobedient son, but can it rise to the height of Datong's safety?The Queen Mother turned her head displeased.

"My mother knows that Datong is suffering from internal and external troubles. There are Bei Rong stalking outside. There are 20 soldiers on the border. Their purpose is obvious. There are civil strife in You County inside, and there are also usurpers who are secretly helping the emperor. There was a once-in-a-hundred-year torrential rain and then a catastrophic plague. Today, Datong is in a precarious situation. If one is not good, the dynasty will collapse and the country will change hands. It is not impossible."

The Empress Dowager's expression was tense, although she tried to remain calm on the surface, there was already an uproar in her heart.

She has long since stopped asking about political affairs, and only wants to be free. She didn't know how difficult Datong is now until today.

"I have always been very grateful for my mother's teachings. Without my mother, I would not be where I am today. Therefore, I will do my best to fulfill my mother's request, I will do my best to realize my mother's wishes, and I will do my best to follow what my mother likes. My son... has no self, only his mother."

The queen mother recalled that when Li Duanjin was a child, his schoolwork was very hard, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He never complained of suffering in front of her.

For a while, he liked cats very much, and pestered her to prepare him to raise one. It might be the first time he acted like a baby to her, but she still refused.

Since he taught Li Duanjin how to deal with government affairs, he has dutifully corrected and corrected. When he first took over, he was often busy until late at night.

The queen mother was also deeply proud of having a very satisfactory son, but she never thought that it was the result of Li Duanjin suppressing herself.

"Ever since I met the queen, I feel that I am alive. This time, I want to live for myself."

The Empress Dowager was finally moved, with guilt and indebtedness on her face, her trembling fingers showed that her heart was extremely restless.For so many years, this is the first time that Li Duanjin has analyzed his heart to him in this way.

"Datong is in a dangerous situation, and I can't wait to spend all my time dealing with government affairs. The queen asked Zhao Tuo to escort the imperial physician to You County in order to help the minister. She was infected with the plague, and the minister should take good care of her."

"But Erchen is in a dilemma between her and you, and I can't sleep peacefully. Queen Mother, please feel sorry for Erchen. You and her are equally important to me, and I don't want to lose either." Li Duanjin got up and came to the Queen Mother. He squatted down, wanted to hold the Queen Mother's hand, but restrained himself.

The Queen Mother turned around and looked at Li Duanjin who was squatting beside him, as if he had returned to his childhood, her trembling hands stroked the hair on Li Duanjin's head, her movements were very gentle, and her face was soft.

The Empress Dowager's guilty voice sounded, "The Empress Dowager has embarrassed you."

Li Duanjin put his head on the queen mother's lap, feeling the long-lost maternal love, "You are my mother, and you will always be my favorite person."

The empress dowager's eyes were sore and she shed tears, "Aijia... The empress mother is just afraid that you will repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor. At that time, there will be no Lin Yanting, who will guard the community of Datong."

Li Duanjin raised his head and wiped away tears for the Queen Mother, "The son will take care of himself, and the Queen Mother can rest assured that within a year, you will be able to hold your grandson."

The queen mother glared at him angrily, and smiled through tears, "The granddaughter has already been born."

"It's different." Li Duanjin said softly, in his heart, only the one born by Lin Youyi is his child.

"It has to be her?" The queen mother asked solemnly.

Li Duanjin was extremely firm, "It can only be her."

"What if the Ai family doesn't agree?" The queen mother asked tentatively.

"My son will take her to Youquan Palace."

The queen mother hesitated, she knew that going to the Youquan Palace in Li Duanjin's mouth was not just to escape the summer heat, but to never return to the palace.

The queen mother gave a long sigh, her son has grown up after all, "Ai family thinks about it."

"You said just now that someone is trying to usurp the throne, what's going on?" the queen mother suddenly asked.

The Kunning Palace was officially unsealed, except for Lin Youyi, the other three were all restored.

Princess Yichang and others left the palace step by step, and Lin Youyi sent them to the palace gate.

Ping'er came to serve Lin Youyi again, and she was full of gratitude, "Thank you, ma'am, if it weren't for you, slaves would not be qualified to be treated by the imperial physician."

"Get up, don't make me cry anymore." Lin Youyi stopped crying when she was sad about the separation from her family.

Lin Youyi learned from Nanny Xu that An Duo had taken the three court ladies to the Xuanzheng Palace, but they never returned, so she asked Ping'er to inquire about the news.

Yingge walked in and handed Lin Youyi an envelope, "Ma'am, Zhang Jing personally delivered it."

Lin Youyi opened the envelope, and after reading it, her face turned red.
