The Empress Dowager had poisoned Pei Yan and thought she would never see her beloved eldest grandson again.
But unexpectedly, there was a turn of events.
Fearing another mishap, she dragged her ailing body to see the Useless Crown Prince.
The entire way, she mulled over her original plan, searching for any flaws.
'Could she successfully rescue her grandson?'
When he took her hostage, the Empress Dowager froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.
This was her most beloved grandson.
His actions were often absurd, but he was exceptionally dependent on her. In private, their relationship was no different from that of any grandmother and grandson in a common family.
After more than twenty years of grandmotherly affection, the Empress Dowager couldn't just stand by and watch her grandson die.
She had made up her mind to help her grandson escape, even activating her most deeply hidden pawn.
