In response to Ah Jiu's suggestion, Empress Dowager Mo was momentarily stunned, then she laughed.
"You are filial, Royal Mother understands, but going with you to live in the prince's residence is impossible. If I truly went, what would happen to your Imperial Brother? The entire court, civil and military, would be terribly troubled by him," Empress Dowager Mo said with a teasing smile.
No matter who sat on this throne or whether he was her biological son, she could only reside in the palace, as she was the Empress Dowager of the current dynasty, the most honored woman in the world.
If an Empress Dowager did not reside in the palace and instead lived with her son in the prince's residence, it would surely cause the censor officials to impeach her, bringing shame to the empire and questioning the Emperor's filial piety.
