The Emperor looked at her with a shadow of grief in his eyes, a look that said he knew all along!
Empress Dowager Zhuang flatly denied it, "I did not, when have I ever been unable to go play cards?"
The Emperor continued his grievous complaint, "Then it's just that Mother doesn't want to get up early."
Empress Dowager Zhuang: When did your brain become so sharp!!!
Years of habit of rising early were lost in just one year in Bishui Alley, when it comes to this, it's rather helplessly ironic.
In the end, the Emperor still agreed that Empress Dowager Zhuang should no longer attend the morning court, he, after all, is the Emperor, and no matter how much he trusts Empress Dowager Zhuang, he still craves to rule alone.
This was a contradiction of feelings.
Living to her age, what could Empress Dowager Zhuang not understand?
