LOVE OR DESTINY

"I want to ask you guys. We agreed not to harm their lives. Then why is Tan Er's life in danger now?"
"Your Majesty is too gentle. We just can't afford to see you lose a woman and a throne."
"You don't have to worry. I have my own plan. I know what's more important. Later, please do not act on your own initiative!"
"Then take good care of yourself."
Yi Huai walked away in annoyance without realizing the two witches were exchanging suspicious looks.
When Yi Huai was not looking, the male witch directly performed black magic on Yi Huai. And at that instant, there appeared a magic tattoo appearing on the back neck of Yi Huai.
The next day, the King was angry while slamming his documents on Mr. Qu because of Yi Huai's problem which he said was masterminding the attempted murder of Lian Cheng and his wife. Even this morning, the Emperor received many petitions blaming Yi Huai.
But Mr. Qu desperately defended Yi Huai. These are just rumors and there is no concrete evidence yet. If the Emperor were to punish Yi Huai just for the gossip then Yi Huai would definitely be very sad. In that case, the Emperor ordered Master Qu to investigate.
The Queen Mother came shortly afterwards and immediately fell to see Mr. Qu there. He had heard the unpleasant gossip and his heart became unsettled by it.
Mr. Qu wants to say something. But the Emperor quickly interrupted him and expelled him. The Emperor assured the Queen Mother not to be anxious, she would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Don't think I don't know. You always liked Huai'er better. This time, I have to get justice for Cheng'er."
"Mother, this matter has not been investigated. How can I punish Huai'er like this? I know the departure of Ayahanda makes Mother hold a grudge. So, because Huai'er looks like the late Ayahanda..."
The Queen Mother was upset to confirm that Yi Huai was not the late Emperor and she did not feel they were similar either. Should the Emperor also punish his wife Lian Cheng, he was Yi Huai's spy to make Lian Cheng fall into their trap.
The Emperor reminded the Queen Mother that thanks to Xiao Tan, Lian Cheng was able to survive unscathed. Even the Emperor felt very grateful to Xiao Tan. Why is the Queen Mother so cold that she blames Tan Er for being hurt.
The Queen Mother heard it more and more. Well, she knew that now she was just an old woman and the Emperor had his own stance. Therefore, the Emperor would not appreciate his words anymore.
"But let me remind you, there is no smoke without fire. If you can't investigate Huai'er and give me a decent answer, I won't give up easily."
The Emperor seemed to be getting annoyed with the Empress Dowager's attitude. He convinced the Queen Mother not to worry. The selection of the crown prince is getting closer, the Emperor will definitely act with caution. The emperor promised not to make decisions that would create social instability.
