Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: I Am the Emperor!

"You, you..."

Her Majesty the Empress Dowager looked at His Majesty the Emperor’s demeanor and truly, he had infuriated her.

"Emperor, the imperial edict you’ve issued, can be said to be most unwise. Do you think Sui Zimo cares about your decree now?"

"What can he dare to do, defy the decree?"

The Emperor snorted disdainfully, convinced that defying him was certainly impossible.

Even if Sui Zimo truly dared to defy the edict, it would conveniently provide a reason to annihilate Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Originally, making Sui Zimo Prince Mo was meant to save Prince Lin. Little did anyone know that although Prince Lin was indeed saved, he brought upon a calamity, even killing Suri!

Although he already knew that it was King Jin and Princess Consort Lian plotting in the shadows, Prince Lin had fallen in his confrontation with Sui Zimo. Now, the only one who could be propped up was King Jin.

Naturally, he wouldn’t do anything detrimental to himself; punishing King Jin right now was definitely out of the question.

"If he dares to defy the decree, that would actually be better."

"You—"

The words of His Majesty the Emperor had brought the Empress Dowager to the brink of rage.

"Emperor, how is it that you still do not understand? Even if Sui Zimo truly defies the edict, so what? What could you do to him? Do you plan to revoke his title of Prince Mo less than a few months after conferring it? Do you think your imperial edict is some kind of grand joke?"

Furthermore, do you truly dare to bring that female medical practitioner into the Central Palace? Just based on her relationship with Sui Zimo and her medical skills alone, do you believe you could gain any benefit from her? Don’t end up gaining no advantage at all, only to be poisoned half to death by her and regret it when it’s too late!"

She bombarded the Emperor with a barrage of words, making her thoughts absolutely clear.

"Uh."

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, the Emperor’s face turned green.

How had he not considered the capabilities of that female medical practitioner? If she were truly summoned to the palace, it might indeed lead to endless troubles.

"You, you... Emperor, what should I say about you?"

The Empress Dowager looked at her own son with disappointment so profound, she felt as if she could spit out blood.

"If you had taken the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Sui Zimo and gradually made contact with the female medical practitioner, winning her over bit by bit, that would have been a somewhat clever approach.

But, how could you dare to send a direct imperial edict to Prince Mo’s Mansion? The female medical practitioner is so young, and look at your age! Do you think that she would forsake Sui Zimo, a young and handsome man, for an aging Emperor like you? How do you not understand even this?"

"Mother, I am the Emperor!"

The Empress Dowager’s words were something the Emperor did not agree with.

He was the Emperor of Wei State, the most revered! Which woman in the world wouldn’t wish to enter the palace to serve him, to become his woman?

This should be their glory. Could it be that girl would not be willing? Perhaps upon hearing the news, she would joyously enter the palace, right?! Or perhaps, Sui Zimo, that scourge, would be obstructive; that was also a possibility.

"You are the Emperor, but you have your Central Palace, not to mention the Imperial Noble Consort and the four consorts in full presence," the Empress Dowager declared with resentment.

Setting these aside, her son had so many women in his harem, he probably couldn’t even remember them all, right? With such a harem, does he think himself so charming that he can make the female medical practitioner harbor secret affections for him?
