“Ah, Empress, this wasn’t our fault. Who could have foreseen such a misjudgment?”
“I’m actually grateful for the Consort Qin’s involvement, which exposed his true nature ahead of time…” The Empress spoke in a calm tone. “The child is too accustomed to smooth sailing, capable only in favorable conditions. The moment something doesn’t go his way, his flaws become apparent.”

The Empress sighed again. “And both of you, grandfather and grandson, are equally stubborn. I worry that if the Consort Qin dies, and he finds out, he’ll end up resenting you.” There was something she didn’t have the heart to say aloud.

The Emperor raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
“If I had told you, you would’ve been even more determined to kill her.”
“Who says so?!”
