"Y_ your majesty" Ting cried sadly. "Ting has anger Jian-ge"

"Your majesty" The Empress scowled at her emperor. "Why did you not say anything? Jian has completely_"

"My Empress" Emperor Huizhong sighed. "You know Jian's temperament, why must you test him?"

"I_ Is his grandmother not important as his Wang Fei for him to speak to me so coldly?"

Empress Wenqian did not hide her jealousy.

"Empress Mother" The Crown Prince chuckled. "You sound jealous"

When the Empress glared at her son, he chuckled more.

"I only want what's best for Jian"

The Empress was upset even while she looked at the direction where her favorite grandson had just disappeared off to.

"That woman has completely bewitched him"

"Oh?" Emperor Huizhong asked with amusement. "What did you find out about her?"

Emperor Huizhong knew that his Empress had investigated Li Ruyi's background since Wu Jian had taken her as his Wang Fei.

"Spoil, haughty, arrogant, and materialistic just like that father of hers" Empress Wenqian listed sharply. "Moreover her mother is a lowly maid that climb her way into bed with a man old enough to be her grandfather. With backgrounds like that, she is clearly unsuited for Jian"

The Crown Prince was amazed by the information and glance at his Crown Princess for confirmation. She answered him with a soft nod and frown.

"Ever since Jian taken her has his Wang Fei, he discarded all his concubines" Empress Wenqian continued angrily. "Clearly, that woman is selfishly keeping Jian to herself. If this continues, he will forget his duty to his country for that horrid woman"

"Is that so..." Emperor Huizhong continued to smile.

"He kept her hidden and had his own people guard her like some treasure" The Empress turned to the Emperor with anger. "He had killed my informants when they got too close to her."

Empress Wenqian had her people in Wu Jian's Estate the entire time he was in Milong. Wu Jian had been her precious grandson. She had simply wanted to ensure his safety by infiltrating his estate. She had known everything that went on with her grandson life up until his Wang Fei entered the estate. From then on, all her informants went silent. When she found out that they were killed, it had surprised her. Initially, the Empress was more curious than angry. She had wondered why Wu Jian had killed the people he knew belonged to her.

"Wu Jian never behaves like this with me"

Empress Wenqian was disappointed and upset.

"Y_ Your majesty" Ting spoke with tears. "It's that entire woman's fault that Jian-ge spoke that way with you. If not for her, Jian-ge would never say such cruel words toward her majesty"

"Yes, it's that horrid woman fault" Ting's mother spoke angrily. "Her majesty must not blame Prince Jian since he is currently bewitched by her"

"Empress Mother..." The Crown Prince spoke with concern. "What should we do now?"

"What should we do?" Empress Wenqian scoffed. "I want to see that woman. I want to see how talented she is for causing my grandson to lose his senses"

"Your Majesty" Ting continued to cry.

"Don't cry Ting-Ting. Her Majesty is on your side. Prince Jian will not be taken by such a woman"

Hearing this, Ting sniffled and calmed her tears with her mother consoling her. While the women continue to bicker about Prince Jian and his Wang Fei, the Emperor and the Crown Prince both shared a mutual sigh.
