The Emperor immediately refused with a smile. Lets not do that. Linger is male and unmarried. Its not proper to have him stay beside Mu Xiaojie.

The Empress Dowagers face turned cold and she was no longer polite. Then are the two imperial doctors and guards female?

This? The Emperor could not answer.

The Empress Dowager said impolitely, Aijia knows what youre thinking. Arent you afraid that if Linger marries the yatou Zi You, your younger brother and Old General Mu would become in-laws? They would be a threat to your imperial authority? Emperor, can you not be so suspicious? No matter who will turn against you, your younger brother will not. He and you both came out of Muhous belly. Muhou dares to guarantee with Muhous life that your younger brother will not do such disloyal and unfilial things.

The Emperors face was unhappy as he replied, Sisxth brother wouldnt, but what about sixth brothers sons and grandchildren? Muhou, Erchen knows you love sixth brother, but Erchen is also your son. Why cant you put yourself in my place and think for Erchens sake?

The Empress Dowagers heart turned cold at her eldest sons words. She couldnt help but shed sad tears. Dont you have a guilty conscience saying those words? I know that you gave Ne Su and Ne Ning to your sixth brother as cefeis to monitor him. I acquiesced to that. For you to be at ease, I left Linger in the imperial capital and helplessly watch him turn into a dandy. For you to be at ease, I repeatedly suppressed sixs wife. Say it. What more do you want me to do? Kill Linger or kill your sixth brother? Forget it. If you really cant be at ease, let your sixth brother go back to the capital and be an idle wangye. Dont send him to guard the Xibei border. Send whomever you trust.

The Emperors complexion turned a little better. He began to speak soft words, Muhou, its Erchens fault for making you sad. Actually, Erchen is most worried about Muhous attitude towards Linger and sixth brother. Erchen always think that you favor them and neglect Erchen and your other grandchildren.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed. I also carried your sixth brother for ten months before giving birth to him. Dont I feel guilty treating him like this because of you? And what about you? You have everything. If the one to guard the bitterly cold Xibei border was you, I will also miss you. How can you not understand a mothers heart?

A sharp light flashed in the Emperors eyes. His heart thought, This is good too. Lets test Shangguan LingRan and old man Mu to see if they have any intentions to betray Zhen.
