The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1173

Chapter 1173: 567 Regaining the Victory (Second Update)_3

Princess Ning An sneered, "Regarding the content of the royal edict, she either acknowledges all of it or none of it. I bet she... will let her son rule in person!"

Empress Dowager Xiao would of course allow the Crown Prince to rule in person, even if it meant having another Princess Ning An to regent.

Empress Dowager Xiao probably didn’t take this recently submissive and unassuming widow princess seriously at all.

If regency is to be regency, then the day she becomes displeased, she can simply strip the Crown Prince of Princess Ning An’s regency powers at any time.

But would things really go so smoothly?

Ning An isn’t a sheep; she’s a wolf!

Whether the Crown Prince will depose Ning An or Ning An will depose the Crown Prince is not easy to say!

In the past, Empress Dowager Zhuang went from holding the regency power to completely dominating the court!

Eunuch Wan Quan was on the verge of tears.

It’s over, now it’s really, really over.

At night, an eagle circled above the Imperial Palace, letting out a cold and solemn cry before soaring into the night sky.

The next morning, Empress Dowager Xiao received news that she should go to Huaqing Palace, as Eunuch Wan Quan was to read the royal edict.

After washing up and dressing neatly, Empress Dowager Xiao went to Huaqing Palace with a complicated expression.

Eunuch Wan Quan was already waiting in the main hall of Huaqing Palace early on.

Empress Dowager Xiao huffed over to him and whispered sharply, "Did His Majesty wake up again last night? Didn’t I tell you that as soon as His Majesty woke up, you were to report to me immediately? Are you taking my words as nothing but the wind past your ears!"

Eunuch Wan Quan thought to himself that it wasn’t that he wanted to ignore her words; it was that Princess Ning An hadn’t given him any time to prepare.

The moment I went in, she had already drafted the royal edict, and your arrival would have made no difference.

Eunuch Wan Quan said sheepishly, "It’s the Emperor’s will; this servant is helpless. I ask the Empress Dowager for forgiveness."

Empress Dowager Xiao glared at him coldly, "Wan Quan, you’ve got some nerve!"

Eunuch Wan Quan felt bitter inside but did not voice it.

Before long, the Crown Prince also arrived, looking completely bewildered.

"Mother Empress?"
