ced the Silent Monk to make these types of oaths.
Her expression became rigid once again.

“He… What else did he say…?”

Back then, as Wen Ji was dying, Zhao Yiqin did not go to see him.
So she did not know… and for all these years, she never asked.

He chuckled coldly, “What does it matter what he said? You are the high and mighty Empress Dowager… He was the virtuous and prestigious Buddhist Monk… You two were fated to never be involved with one another.”

“Jun’er!”

“Don’t call me by that name!” The Silent Master closed his eyes, his voice frigid, “In this world, only the child who wept in silence existence was born… Min Wen Jun doesn’t exist.”

The moment Silent Master vowed to sever his relationship with her, Zhao Yiqin felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
Her feelings for the monk, Wen Ji, was not as heartless as the Silent Master may think.

“I’m… I’m leaving you to reflect on your own!” Just as Zhao Yiqin was about to leave in disdain, she stated, “In a moment I’m going to tell someone to deliver a few vegetable dishes over.
Stop being stubborn and eat something.”

The monk remained silent, and Zhao Yiqin did not yield either.
The moment she exited the door, her spirit regained it’s previous majestic presence.
Yet, her eyelids drooped with dull shadows underneath, the toll of her mental stress apparent.

She will not be overthrown.
She cannot lose.
She had sacrificed too much to get to this point.
If she lost, she would be seen as a laughing stock.

Right then, one of her subordinates arrived and greeted her.
Zhao Yiqin raised her eyebrow in surprise before she left with him.

Before Mo Linyuan came along, she had monopolized the imperial court affairs for many years.
Of course, she would have her own supporters.
The person who just came to find her was one of her most useful subordinates.

“What could have brought Official Zhang to come visit?”

The Minister of War, Zhang Wei, chuckled, “I heard the Empress Dowager was in a bad mood.
This official came to accompany her and improve her mood.”
