Chapter 538 - 538 269 Entering the Palace (Second Watch)_2
?Chapter 538: 269 Entering the Palace (Second Watch)_2 Chapter 538: 269 Entering the Palace (Second Watch)_2 Becoming the Grand Marshal in charge of all military horses… wouldn’t that elevate him above the Marquis Xuanping?
Empress Dowager Zhuang did not oppose his appointment as the libationer for the Guozijian, which added to his prestige. However, if he rejected her decree now, she would have a way to prevent the old libationer from taking office.
There had always been a delicate balance between them, but this time the Empress Dowager had indeed been too forceful!
The Grand Marshal for the military? Why didn’t she just depose him and become the emperor herself!
Empress Dowager Zhuang: “If your majesty has any objections, we can discuss it another day.”
The Emperor’s fingernails dug into his palm: “I have no objections. Your ideas are my ideas.”
After the royal court adjourned, the Emperor returned to his palace with a gloomy face.
Empress Dowager Zhuang also returned to Renshou Palace.
Everyone supposed that the Empress Dowager had won, but only she understood that she was not happy.
Upon entering Renshou Palace, all traces of her arrogance and caprice vanished, and she fell into infinite loneliness.
Zhuang Mengdie, who was closest to the Empress Dowager, discovered something was off. In just two days, the Empress Dowager had lost weight.
Zhuang Mengdie could still recall the night of the storm, when the empress mother arrived at her house wounded, her face then was ruddy, but these days, her eyes lost their brightness and glitter whenever they were alone.
The Empress Dowager in this condition made her heart ache.
After frowningly returning to the Huaqing Palace, the Emperor locked himself alone in the sleeping palace.
