The Empress Dowager watched the Fourth Master leave, then withdrew her gaze.
The blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so heavy she could hardly lift it.
She set down the teacup and headed for the inner chamber.
She thought, after all, the Fourth Master was not close to her, threatening her over a mere Consort.
But in fact, she had misunderstood.
The Fourth Master had good intentions originally.
He had threatened her because she had been causing too much trouble. Now, the Fourth Master had even learned to be indirect, so how could he truly send his own birth Mother away?
Even if he wanted to, the world would not allow it.
In truth, the Empress Dowager did not trust His Majesty.
The Fourth Master left Shoukang Palace, but did not go directly to Jinyu Pavilion. Instead, he ordered Su Peisheng to reward Jinyu Pavilion with several pots of well-blooming Shan Cha flowers.
