Chapter 440 The Private Desires of the Empress Dowager

"If this matter were to be leaked, it would surely affect the royal reputation, and I am also worried that people outside would speculate a great deal," said the Empress Dowager.

Having deeply looked at Ye Jiuxiao, with his keen sensitivity, he naturally realized the unspoken words of the Empress Dowager.

What the Empress Dowager meant was nothing more than requesting his help to block the news, to prevent outsiders from being aware of it.

"I know that over the years, you have done many things for your Imperial Brother. If such an incident were to occur in a common household, I would certainly have to punish Yunting severely," she said.

"But now, as long as he realizes his mistakes and corrects them, I can only pretend as if nothing has happened."

The tone of the Empress Dowager already carried a hint of guilt.

She was not ignorant of the fact that, starting from the moment she placed Ye Jiuxiao in the position of Regent King, she had begun owing her younger son as a mother.
