Emperor Wu was wondering who was bold enough to intrude on him, when he saw that it was his mother.0

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Emperor Wu quickly moved closer to hold her arm with an obsequious smile on his face.

Being a filial son, Emperor Wu had always been very obedient toward his mother.

The empress dowager glared at Emperor Wu. "I hear that you're going to remove Junjun from the entourage?"

Emperor Wu cleared his throat.

The empress dowager glared at him. "It's true! You really are going to do that!"

Empress Dugu interjected, "Your Majesty, that's only because His Royal Highness is so…"

"Shut your mouth!" The old lady was furious, and she glowered at Empress Dugu. "I'm talking to my son. This isn't your place to speak!"

Empress Dugu was speechless.

The empress dowager cast a stern look at Empress Dugu. "You just can't wait to see the emperor hate the crown prince so that your own son can take his place, can you? I'm telling you: In your dreams!"

Empress Dugu felt so embarrassed at being scolded like that. She let her eyes fill with tears as she said in a pitiful voice, "Your Majesty, you've misunderstood me. I just don't want to see His Majesty wronged…"

Emperor Wu held her hand and was touched by his dear Zitong.

The empress dowager glared at Empress Dugu. "Just shut up!"

Emperor Wu said, "Mother…"

The empress dowager lashed out at Emperor Wu. "Can't you see by now what her plan is? Why is she crying? Have I wronged her? Junjun has no parents, he should be the one crying!"

Emperor Wu cleared his throat. "Mother, I'm still around…"

"When there's a stepmother, the real father will forget about his son! You're as bad as a stepfather now!"

Emperor Wu cleared his throat.

"Hmph!" The empress dowager snorted and sat down on the soft cushion.

Emperor Wu said, "Mother…"

The empress dowager said, "Not another word! I'm going to wait here, and I'm not leaving before Junjun arrives!"

Emperor Wu didn't know what to say.

Empress Dugu was speechless.

She held Emperor Wu's hand in frustration, humiliated by the old lady's scolding.

Emperor Wu could only hold her hand without being able to offer any comforting words.

Around them, all the officials lowered their heads in silence.

The chief steward and Bai didn't say a word either.

They all knew perfectly well that as long as the empress dowager was around, no one would threaten Jun Linyuan's position.

While the situation was under control, over on the other end in the crown prince's residence —

"Come with me." Jun Linyuan took Feng Wu's hand.

Feng Wu frowned. "I really don't want to go."

Jun Linyuan looked back at Feng Wu. "Are you sure?"

Feng Wu nodded repeatedly. "Yes, very."

Jun Linyuan snorted. "Who gave you the right to stay here?"

Feng Wu was dumbfounded.

Jun Linyuan snorted. "You go where I go. Got it?"

Feng Wu was speechless.

Before Feng Wu realized what was going on, Jun Linyuan pulled her away, and she had to stumble after him.

Feng Wu tired to shake his hand off, but the crown prince only held her hand tighter.

On their way from the crown prince's residence to Dingwu Gate —
