She could not participate in any political affairs, only her father and Helian Guang Yao could do so.
Her father had some issues with the deployment in Jiang Nan recently, therefore she was worried that he was not in a suitable position to speak up.
As for Helian Guang Yao, he was busy with the affairs of the Helian family, he would be of no help either.
It seemed like the Empress was the only one who could speak up.
Su Yan Mo who was overwhelmed with ideas made her decision after some thoughts. She then shouted toward outside, “Anybody? I need help with changing my clothes to enter the palace!”
It would not be easy for someone to enter the palace.
However, Su Yan Mo had a good relationship with Empress Murong. They were already close with each other even before she got married as they spent their days thinking of ways to dig a pit for Helian Wei Wei’s mother.
Empress Murong had been upset recently as she could not say anything when her own brother was caught. Her heart was filled with hatred toward Baili Jia Jue and she wanted nothing more than destroying that b*stard completely.
Her elder brother wanted her to be patient but how could she? As the fifth child, her brother was well-versed in both literature and military affairs but he was never coddled.
The Emperor liked him but that would not help. Everyone was clear with the fact that the Emperor would have no say in the throne as long as the Retired Emperor did not delegate his powers.
The more she thought about it, the more bothered she got. As she lifted her head, she saw Madam Su fell on her knees with a plop, “Empress, I have to ask for your favor to save me this time!”
“What’s the matter?” Empress Murong was compassionate for her but she was actually enjoying it deep inside. They were like sisters before she got married but her status became so much higher than Su Yan Mo at present. Now that she thought about it, that Helian never even kneeled before her!
Empress Murong clenched her fists while she comforted Su Yan Mo, “Here, have a seat. Tell me everything.”
“I have a cousin brother serving in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. When he went for his routine inspection today, he came across a courtyard filled with weapons by accident, many mysterious carriages were seen while transporting the weapons outside. He was certain that there must be something fishy so he went on to check further. Indeed, there was a problem. All the weapons in the courtyard were produced in private. Based on that, it seemed like they were about to do something…” Su Yan Mo spoke in an exaggerated tone.
Empress Murong also frowned as she continued to listen, “There were so many weapons. Perhaps they’re intending to…”
“That’s exactly what my cousin brother thought.” Su Yan Mo deepened her tone after realizing that the Empress was getting suspicious. “Also, these weapons are all related to Helian Wei Wei as she’s the owner of the courtyard. There were many battle swords hidden in the courtyard. Parties formed for rebellion is a taboo subject for the Retired Emperor. I can’t believe that this girl did so many things behind everyone. Who knew what she was thinking? The Emperor is now severely sick whilst Retired Emperor is getting old. I’m guessing that these people couldn’t wait any longer so they’re doing all these.”
Su Yan Mo stopped there to let Empress Murong sort things out with her own imagination.
She understood Empress Murong’s intent to let her own son take over the throne, but it was unfortunate with the existence of the Third Prince.
Even if the Third Prince was struck off, the Retired Emperor cosseted the Seventh Prince.
Therefore, Empress Murong wanted nothing more than chasing the two b*stards left by the former Empress out of the palace.

She could drag Baili Jia Jue down if she could make a big fuss out of Helian Wei Wei’s act this time.
Empress Murong would never miss such a good opportunity.
If she did not act, the one who would lose the throne would be his son, the Fifth Prince.
As expected, Empress Murong’s expression changed in an instance, “That’s completely nuts! What is up with the military weapons? Even the military wanted to control the production of weapons? You’re right! Helian Wei Wei would never have the guts to do all these, the Third Prince must have something to do with this! I’m giving out orders to inspect the courtyard right now!”
“Don’t worry, Empress.” Su Yan Mo continued when she thought that the time was right, “In all recklessness, my cousin already got them and threw them into prison. They are now waiting to be interrogated. The weapons are also brought to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. We got both the weapons and the person responsible for it.”
“Great job!” Empress Murong was already certain that the weapons were produced by Baili Jia Jue to seize the throne. Now that she heard the weapons and the person-in-charge were already captured, her mind was filled with ideas to tell on Baili Jia Jue to the Retired Emperor so that the b*stard could never be arrogant again!
Su Yan Mo bit her lip and said, “But, he accidentally got the little Seventh Prince too…”
Empress Murong stopped all her movements at once. Shocked, she asked, “He what?!”
“The Little Seventh Prince was also present at that time. He did not know who he was and thought that he was a kid brought over by the blacksmith. Also, the Seventh Prince kept disturbing my cousin from inspecting so he took him altogether to the yamen. But, my cousin always knew when to stop and he didn’t beat anyone up. Yet, he was taken to the prison by the Third Prince for confiscating the weapons at the courtyard.” Su Yan Mo observed the Empress’s expression as she talked, “The Retired Emperor still doesn’t know about this. The Third Prince turned the whole Beijing city upside down just to get my cousin as he wanted to avenge for the Seventh Prince and settle everything before the Retired Emperor takes an interest in it…”
When she said that he wanted to settle everything, she meant to say that he planned to murder the witnesses to prevent divulgence.
Listening to her, Empress Murong already had some thoughts rooted from how Baili Jia Jue had caught her brother without any mercy.
She had been hoping that something would happen at Baili Jia Jue’s side these few days.
A princess consort was trying to produce weapons on a large scale in private.
Even if it was not directly his responsibility, that little b*stard cannot escape from the consequences just because the Retired Emperor doted on him!
Empress Murong rolled her eyeballs and said to Su Yan Mo, “You should go back now. I will do you justice.”
After hearing that, Su Yan Mo was clear that there was hope. She was relieved but she could not afford to be too relaxed just yet. She had her servants to spy for any news in the palace from time to time.
Although Empress Murong was aware that there must be some tiny motives by Su Yan Mo in this matter but there were too few chances for her to pull Baili Jia Jue down, not to mention the b*stard, Little Seventh Prince. Even though he was young, he never missed a chance to bully her son in the palace. Therefore, the tiger cub who was at Baili Jia Jue’s side deserved to be caught! There were many places that he could go yet he chose to follow Baili Jia Jue to the courtyard, nobody asked him to be there at that time!
Empress Murong was immersed in her cruel thoughts. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should use this opportunity to vent!
However, she was also clear that she could not be the one to tell on this matter.
The Retired Emperor never liked her. Also, women from the harem should never get involved in matters as such.
Therefore, she did not go to the Retired Emperor. Instead, she decided to spread the words to the ear of the Emperor…
