An Guoguo Temple was huge in area and had a grand atmosphere. Although there were no soldiers guarding the door, the monks inside were all extraordinary, so no one had any intentions of guarding this place.

Leng Qiyue entered An Guo Temple. She didn't know if the main hall's Buddha statue was pure gold, but she felt that such a large Buddha statue was mostly gilded. But no matter if it was pure gold or gold, Leng Qiyue still sincerely bowed in respect.

As soon as Leng Qiyue stepped into An Guo temple, someone informed her. She frowned and instructed, "If she comes alone with her child, bring her along."

"Yes." Vanilla, the maid who served the Empress Dowager, promised to go out.

Leng Qiyue was not surprised at all by the herb, she went up and said, "Big sister herb, I want to see the empress dowager."

Vanilla looked at Leng Qiyue, then looked outside the hall. Leng Qiyue said, "There's no need to look, I brought my child here alone. I'm here to beg the empress dowager."

Vanilla nodded. "Follow me."

They left the great hall and turned to the side hall at the back. The empress dowager lived a little far away, so they had to walk for a while before arriving.

Leng Qiyue entered the side hall and saw the empress dowager. She was sitting cross-legged on a bamboo bed with a rosary in her hand and her eyes closed. There was only one incense burner on the table beside him, and it was filled with white smoke.

"The empress dowager is chanting," vanilla whispered. "Empress Dowager, please wait a moment."

Leng Qiyue clenched her teeth and pulled Niu Jun to kneel on the ground. She did not say a word, and just waited.

Two hours later, the empress dowager opened her eyes and saw Leng Qiyue who was kneeling on the ground, feigning shock. "Aiya, vanilla, why did you make your imperial concubine kneel on the ground?"

Hearing this, Leng Qiyue immediately shook off her hand and cried, "Please save me, Empress Dowager!"

In truth, the empress dowager had long since known of what had happened in the palace, but pretended as if she didn't know. Why do you want me to save you? "

Leng Qiyue didn't get up either. She kneeled and walked over to the empress dowager's feet and said pitifully, "Save me, empress dowager. Ever since that slut Han Liu seduced the emperor, there hasn't been a place for mother and son in the Imperial Palace."

The empress dowager stretched out her hand to help Leng Qiyue up, saying, "Quickly, stop crying. Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Leng Qiyue sat right beside her, and she also pulled up Lin Mu Jun, making him sit on a chair at the side.

Leng Qiyue teared up as she spoke, "Han Liu is pregnant, so the Emperor removed me from the position of imperial concubine. He didn't even let me recognize my children, so I can only be their wet nurse in the future. Originally, I didn't want to argue about anything, but Han Liu's eyes couldn't bear me! "Sob, sob, sob …"

The empress dowager frowned. "How can this be? "That lass Han Liu has no power or backing. How could the emperor like her?"

Leng Qiyue's face reddened, and she stuttered, "Your Majesty … The Emperor likes her... like her service. "

The empress dowager scoffed. "Truly shameless. Too bad this one is praying for national destiny. I can't go back and give you justice."

Leng Qiyue secretly cursed in her heart: "Hmph, if you had listened to my conditions, you wouldn't have said it like that.

Leng Qiyue said with misty tears in her eyes, "Empress Dowager, did the Imperial Concubine Lin's sister give birth? If it's a boy, then she must go back and kick that slut Han Liu out of the palace! "

When the was mentioned, a clear flash of hatred flashed past the empress dowager's eyes, but it was concealed by her smile. "Aiya, the Imperial Concubine Lin is really sick, but the mages say that the little prince is not fated to enter the palace, and that if she were to enter the palace, she would die young. Thus, I allowed the Imperial Concubine Lin to stay here to take care of the little prince, and when the child is older, she can return to the palace."

Just as she was speaking, Imperial Concubine Lin barged in with dishevelled hair. She pulled the empress dowager and cried, "Aunt, where is my son? I want my son! "He might not be the emperor's child, but I gave birth to him in October …"

"Shut up, how are you guys taking care of Imperial Concubine Lin? Take him away quickly." Her Majesty said coldly.

Imperial Concubine Lin was brought out, and her mournful wails could still be heard even from far away.

The empress dowager looked at Leng Qiyue and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Even I can't let her go back after she has lost her mind like this!"

Leng Qiyue was curious, since the Imperial Concubine Lin had given birth to a son, why did they not return to the palace? Was there a problem with the child?

The empress dowager walked to the front of the empress dowager and reached out a hand to stroke his head. The empress dowager gave her a sweet smile and said in a tender voice, "Grandmother is the best. Only the empress dowager and mother in the palace dotes on me."

The empress dowager's hand stopped moving, so much so that a single word from her could melt her heart. She smiled and said, "Vanilla, bring the First Prince out for a meal. Look at how thin he is."

"Yes." She didn't forget to close the door behind her.

When only Leng Qiyue and the empress dowager was left in the room, Leng Qiyue once again kneeled on the ground and said, "grand empress, chenqie has thought through many things. Now, we are all counting on you to survive."

The empress dowager did not help him. Leng Qiyue frowned and asked, "How can I help you?"

Leng Qiyue said, "Actually, the empress dowager wasn't here at An Guo to pray for blessings, right? If the Emperor brought men to destroy the East Manor, it would be equivalent to destroying half of the Empress Dowager's power. Your consort has a way of bringing Her Majesty back to court, and she can also take charge of this country and hold everything in your hands. "

The empress dowager raised an eyebrow and sat down. "Get up. Tell This Dowager in detail."

Leng Qiyue sat in front of the empress dowager and said, "The current Emperor only dotes on him, and it can be said that when the time comes, we will use the name of the Qing emperor to slaughter our way into the palace, forcing the emperor to abdicate. As long as we proclaim the throne, the empress dowager will be able to hold onto the authority of the imperial government."

The empress dowager thought for a moment. "What about you? What do you want? "

Leng Qiyue replied, "Chenqie doesn't want anything else, I just want the empress dowager to hand Dongfang Haotian over to chenqie. Chenqie wants him to personally witness the death of the beauty he loves. As long as I can vent my anger, I'm willing to faked my death, leave the palace, leave the palace … Bai Lan is still waiting for me. " Two red clouds appeared on her face.

The empress dowager also knew about the relationship between Leng Qiyue and the empress dowager, so her actions made seem to be in love with her. She pondered for a moment and said, "This is no small matter. Besides, This Dowager's blessing is not over yet. Why don't we discuss it after This Dowager's blessing is complete?" You can stay here for now. This Dowager still needs to send someone to the palace to find out what happened to that girl Han Liu. "

"Yes, thank you grand empress." Leng Qiyue replied obediently.

"Xiang Xi, prepare a room for noble concubine to rest." Her Majesty called for someone to come in.

Xiang Xi walked in and bowed. "As per your orders, noble concubine will follow me."

Leng Qiyue bowed to the empress dowager, then followed Xiang Rui out the door. Walking out of the left side hall, when they arrived at the right side hall, she heard the sound of a baby crying from inside the house, along with the curses of a maid, "Weeping … Since you've been crying since you were born, why don't you just let the Empress strangle you to death?"
