Chapter 543 You shall be buried with me!
This naturally angered the Wei family, but they now realized that they had very few bargaining chips.

They couldn't control the new emperor at all. The empress had only relied on the fact that the new emperor was helpless and had no choice but to depend on the Wei family.

Moreover, the crown prince listened to her every word, believing that as long as she controlled the crown prince's thoughts, she could control the entire Louqu Kingdom.

But after the crown prince ascended the throne, his attitude towards them changed drastically.

Not only were they not afraid of the Wei family, but they also embarrassed her in front of everyone.

She wanted to entrust the Wei family with the organization of Lou Chen's birthday banquet, but the new emperor reprimanded her for not allowing those in the harem to interfere in politics.

Enraged, she couldn't contain her anger and unleashed a torrent of curses at the new emperor.

To everyone's surprise, the new emperor was not afraid of her at all. He calmly listened to her rant and then had her escorted out.

They forcibly brought her to Lou Chen's bedside, and it was rumored that the Empress Dowager said she would personally serve the Emperor Emeritus until he recovered.

For a time, everyone in the palace was praising the Empress Dowager's deep affection and loyalty.

Only then did the Empress Dowager realize that the people in the palace had been replaced by the new emperor's people without her noticing.

Arriving at the Emperor Emeritus's bedside, she looked at the once handsome and dashing emperor, the man she had been so infatuated with, now with sunken eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a face that was nothing but skin and bones. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She thought she had concealed it well, but Lou Chen had already noticed her disdainful look. How dare this bitch look down on him?

The Empress Dowager feigned grief and cried, "Your Majesty, you must stand up for me! The Crown Prince is disobedient and unfilial, he has no respect for me, his mother. He doesn't even respect you. I've been so devoted to him, but he thinks I'm meddling in his affairs!"

Lou Chen's eyes were icy: "How is the new emperor disobedient and unfilial? Isn't he perfectly fine?"

After speaking, she had Eunuch Desheng help him up. The Empress Dowager's sobs choked: "The new emperor hasn't chosen any concubines yet. Your Majesty, I should have been the one to celebrate your birthday and give you a surprise. But the new emperor would rather believe the prime minister than his mother, and even said that the harem should not interfere in politics. I really want to do something for Your Majesty and hope that you will recover soon."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Lou Chen, and seeing that he had no displeasure despite his cold expression, she immediately added fuel to the fire, saying, "Your Majesty, I really want to do something for you, and I hope I can help you. I hope Your Majesty can recover soon! But Your Majesty, why did you suddenly pass the throne to the new emperor? You are still so young. What if your illness is cured in the future?"

Lou Chen suddenly raised his eyes with an icy expression, his sinister gaze radiating coldness.

It's chilling to watch!
"So, the Empress Dowager really hopes I can recover?"

"Yes! Your Majesty's sincerity is as clear as day!"

The Empress Dowager raised two fingers as if making an oath!
"Ahem... Is the Empress Dowager truly so devoted to me that she can't bear to part with me?" After Lou Chen coughed, he noticed that the disdain in her eyes was even more obvious.

The Empress Dowager, without changing her expression, immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you to the death!"

Lou Chen's expression was strange: "Then... after I die, Empress Dowager... you shall be buried with me!"

The Empress Dowager was startled. She only wanted Lou Chen to punish the new emperor, but she never thought of having Lou Chen buried with him!

Her Wei family's bright future has just begun, and she's ready to enjoy it!
"Your Majesty, I... I believe there is still hope for Your Majesty. Please don't say such unlucky things!" The Empress Dowager explained awkwardly.

Lou Chen suddenly lunged at the Empress Dowager with a violent expression, grabbing her neck with both hands!
The Empress Dowager immediately began to struggle in pain, and Eunuch Desheng was startled by the sudden commotion.

They wanted to bring the person over, but they were afraid of offending the retired emperor, a responsibility he couldn't bear.

He immediately shouted outside, "Help! Someone come quickly to protect me!"
