Almost half a shichen after when Xi Ying left Dlean Palace, Zhao Zhuang Chen went to his mother's chambers where she had been staying since the banquet.
According to the Emperor's orders, Qin Wenya had not been allowed to step outside her chambers and she had also not been able to et anyone.
However, today Zhao Zhuang Chen knew that he had to et his mother and tell her so do's and don'ts. Otherwise, she will beco the biggest obstacle in his way to the throne.
"Your Highness"
Just when he was about to go inside, his way was blocked by the Imperial Eunuch who had been guarding the entrance of the chambers so that no one could go inside to see Qin Wenya.
Zhao Zhuang Chen sighed deeply to control his anger.
Xi Ying's actions and the threat had already ssed up his mood and now this…
He looked at the Eunuch coldly and said
"Benwang will talk to Father Emperor later. Leave the way."
However, the Imperial Eunuch was also bound to complete what responsibility he had been given Regardless of what Zhao Zhuang Chen said, the Emperor's order was highest than any other person in the Empire so he couldn't move from the entrance.
This further fueled Zhao Zhaung Chen's anger. He looked at the old Eunuch for one last ti and then the next mont, he just kicked him away with his leg.
Ah! The Eunuch groaned in pain as he held his stomach and kneeled down on the ground.
The maids who were standing there were shocked by his actions.
They wondered if they should stop him or not. However, before they could do anything, Zaho Zhuang Chen strode inside the chambers.
His greed for the throne could make him do anything. It was very visible.

Inside the chambers, Qin Wenya had been reading so scriptures when she felt soone entering. However, she didn't raise her head thinking that it was the maid.
Her arrogancy, her pride, and everything else were just like before. Though she had been punished, it could be seen that this small punishnt didn't seem to harm her at all. Not physically as well as ntally.
It was just that her responsibilities to manage the harem had been snatched from her. However, her title ….even if just for the sake of the na, it was still there.
Slam!
Qin Wenya's eyes widened with anger and shock when the small table on which scriptures were placed and she was reading it was suddenly kicked away.
"Outrageous!"
She shouted and raised her head to punish whoever had done so. However, her anger turned into confusion when she saw that it was none other than her own son.
"Zhuang Chen…"
Qin Wenya whispered as her eyes started to fill with fear suddenly.
"What are you doing here? Who let you co inside? What if your father ca to know, Zhuang Chen? He will punish you severely …it will harm your reputation in the city, Son. Why don't you think before doing anything?"
Qin Wenya spoke helplessly as she held Zhao Zhuang Chen's arm and started to drag him towards the door so that he could leave.
"No, go back to your palace. I will tell your father that it was my fault…leave if you still want the throne…"
Qin Wenya spoke harshly when she saw that Zhao Zhuang Chen was not moving at all.
After she had co to know that Zhao Wang Lei never intended to make her son the next Emperor, she had been hoping that her son would not do anything stupid that would give Zhao Wang Lei the chance to remove her.
Especially since the mont, she had been restricted to leave the chambers …she had been praying to the god that her son would not do anything stupid until she would find out so way to co out but here he was…
However, Zhao Zhuang Chen still didn't listen to Qin Wenya.
He threw his mother's hand away harshly and looked at her with anger-filled eyes while speaking.
"If this son want the thrown, Empress Mother? This son wants the throne very much but it is Empress Mother who suddenly doesn't wish to see this son on the throne and that's why did sothing so stupid…"
Qin Wenya frowned very deeply. She didn't like how Zhao Zhuang Chen was speaking. But then she thought that since he was already here, she should just listen to what was wrong. At least she could think of so solution. She sighed in frustration and asked him
"What happened? Speak quickly before soone cos and drags you out."
Zhao Zhuang Chen first walked to the doors and closed them.
Afterward, he walked back to Qin Wenya who frowned at his actions but didn't say anything because she only thought that it might be sothing important.
But she was surprised when Zhao Zhuang Chen suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve and threw it on her face.
"Here…Pri Minister Xi gave this to . Read this and do whatever he is asking from you."
Qin Wenya's face was read …completely in anger.
"Zhuang Chen, is that the way to speak to your Empress Mother?'
She said coldly. However, Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't care about all this at this mont. He even stepped closer and almost glared at her while speaking.
"Listen, Mother, just do what he is saying. You have already done the mistake of going against him. I don't know what you have done but he is very angry. He ca to Dalan Palace and threatened that he will not let have the throne as long as he is alive. And you and I very well know that he can do this. So don't ss up things for anymore …otherwise …even this son won't help Mother when she would be in trouble."
Qin Wenya's anger had already vanished by now.
Her eyes were filled with complete shock and she was staring at the ground as if trying to find her answers when she spoke
"How did he find out?"
