The Retired Emperor was old. There were some things that he could not do even if he wanted to. If he told him, he might even suffer for nothing.
At the thought of this, the emperor resisted the urge to say something.

The Retired Emperor smiled. “Oh, I’m old. There’s nothing to see. Why don’t you visit your mother?”
He smiled and said, “I came to see Father first. 1’11 go to Mother’s place later.” After becoming emperor, he had indeed not seen the Empress Dowager much recently.

The emperor continued to talk to the Retired Emperor for a while more before going to see the empress dowager. When he saw her, tears flashed in the emperor’s eyes.
The Empress Dowager realized that something was wrong with the emperor and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I tsuj went ot Fsateh’r e.calp arFthe has agde a lot,” hte emroper .asid
The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly. “That’s right. Ever since your imperial grandmother left, your father’s health has been deteriorating. 1 think he misses your mother.”
Actually, the Retired Emperor’s health had become very poor when he was still the emperor. If not for Ning Yue, he would have died long ago.

“Why do you suddenly want to come to my place today? It’s time for your harem to expand,” the empress dowager said.
The emperor sighed heavily. “Mother, I’ve been too busy recently. 1 really don’t have time to think about the harem. 1 originally had something to discuss with Father, but seeing Father’s situation, 1 didn’t dare to say anything.”

The emperor sighed, thought about it, and told the Empress Dowager what had happened. The Empress Dowager was shocked.
“Is what you’re saying true?” The Empress Dowager’s voice trembled.

“It’s just that I have this suspicion. It’s not confirmed yet. We’re investigating now,” the emperor said.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment. “You did the right thing. I really can’t tell your father about this. I’m afraid his body can’t take it.”

“I’m very tired. Let’s rest early,” the emperor said.
The empress nodded and said nothing. She accompanied him to dinner and they went to rest not long after.

Jiang Ying got up and stood in the courtyard, looking at the moon and stars. He was not sleepy at all. He wanted to look for Ning Yue, but he was worried that she had fallen asleep.
After hesitating for a long time, he heard a commotion from Ning Yue’s room. He knocked on her door. “Yueyue, are you asleep?”

Jiang Ying walked in and saw that the two children were sleepy. Ning Yue making milk powder for them.
“I’ll do it.”

“It’s ready to drink.” He handed the two milk bottles to the children.
Xiaobao and Xiaobei took the milk bottles and drank happily.

“Why are you here so late? Do you have something to say?” Ning Yue lowered her voice and asked Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying nodded. “Let’s talk in the outer room. Otherwise, we’ll wake the children.”

Although it was called an outer room, it was actually Ning Yue’s room. It was only separated from her bed by a curtain. If she pulled the curtain closed, she wouldn’t be able to see her sleeping on the bed.
The two of them sat down on chairs. Ning Yue asked him, “Is there something troubling you?”

“I’ve been thinking about this these days. Do you think it was done by the previous concubines?” Ning Yue asked..
