Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: It’s Just Too Stupid

"So, as the Empress Dowager put it, if the Emperor of Liang insists on marrying the Commandery Princess into Prince Mo’s Mansion, there must be a conspiracy. Thus, I must not allow the Commandery Princess of Liang to marry into Prince Mo’s Mansion."

The Emperor was no fool; upon hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, he immediately sensed something amiss and said.

Empress Dowager: "..."

She knew very well there was a conspiracy, but what of it?

Sui Zimo was destined never to become the Emperor of Wei State, so she quickly let Wei Zilin take control of the state affairs and urged the Emperor to establish him as the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that the Emperor would be so ruthless, being capable of hardening his heart even against his own son.

"Things have come to this point, a result of your own foolish actions; how can you possibly resolve this situation? If you don’t explain to Prince Mo’s Mansion, do you think Sui Zimo will let you off easily?"

"I could personally arrange a marriage for Sui Zimo and then have the Princess of Liang Kingdom marry Prince Jin..."

The Emperor thought for a moment and then said.

"Enough!"

The Empress Dowager shouted harshly.

She felt that this Emperor was truly beyond redemption, still thinking of marrying the Princess of Liang to Prince Jin at this point!

Now that Princess Consort Lian, the mother of Prince Jin, had been sent to the cold palace and she herself was an ailing patient still riddled with poison, did he really think that the Commandery Princess of Liang would fancy a sickly Prince Jin?

"Emperor, you are truly foolish!"

"Mother..."

Upon hearing the Empress Dowager repeatedly call him foolish, the Emperor frowned displeasedly.

If she were not his mother, he would certainly have severely punished her, silencing her for life!

"Enough, stop talking,"

the Empress Dowager commanded, raising her hand to interrupt him and shook her head helplessly.

"Oh, Emperor, are you really determined to ruin the Wei State? Since it has come to this, I have no choice but to issue a decree myself, arranging a marriage between Prince Mo’s Mansion and the Commandery Princess of Liang. Once they are wed, I shall set off for the imperial mausoleum to apologize to the late emperor with my death."

With that, she stood up, glared fiercely at the Emperor, and left.

"Mother!"

Hearing her words, the Emperor broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down towards the Empress Dowager’s retreating figure.

Her words were a bit too severe, weren’t they?

Which Empress Dowager in the world would apologize with her death to the late emperor? That would imply that the Emperor had committed a great act of filial impiety!

How could he possibly bear such a huge sin?

It was utterly impossible.

"Am I really supposed to just let Sui Zimo get away with this, and hand him an advantage?"

Long after the Empress Dowager had left and her footsteps could no longer be heard, the Emperor murmured softly, questioning himself.

Previously, he thought that the Commandery Princess of Liang, being a mere country girl, marrying Sui Zimo would simply be ridiculed.

But now, he had come to understand.

No matter what the status of the Commandery Princess of Liang was, for Liang Kingdom, she represented the face of the Emperor of Liang; Liang Kingdom would never allow any slight against their princess.

Looking at it this way, he was indeed wrong about this marriage alliance with Sui Zimo!

But now, not only was it impossible to admit his mistake, he could not even issue an imperial edict within Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Yet, if he were to admit it, he would feel indignant.

What should he do?

Just as he hesitated, unknown to him, the Empress Dowager, upon returning to the palace, immediately wrote a benevolent edict, sending it directly to Prince Mo’s Mansion.

Soon, Prince Mo’s Mansion began to prepare.
