Chapter 374: The Empress leaves the palace with her daughter-in-law, filled with regret

The Empress snorted and said, "The Emperor speaks so kindly, for the sake of Susu and the others' well-being? In my opinion, if Susu knew that their imperial grandfather wanted to separate them from their own mother, would they still thank the Emperor for his boundless imperial grace?"

The Emperor looked at the Empress, who spoke so righteously, and said, "Empress, if we were to appoint Lady Shen as the Crown Princess, the scholars and warriors of the court would definitely not agree so easily. If Lady Shen had the same status as the Empress, I would certainly appoint her as the Crown Princess without a second word."

The words made the Empress's heart sour; the damn Emperor placed too much importance on advantages and disadvantages. Although it had always been this way among the Royal Family, it lacked a human touch.
