To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C138
“This …” The palace maid also had an awkward expression as she lowered her head and said: “My apologies, Aunt, this servant does not dare to rashly disturb the Emperor.”
Shi Anran clenched her teeth, “Then move aside, I’ll go in and see the emperor myself!” This was the first time since she was reborn that she could no longer remain calm because of other people’s matters, and she almost lost her mind regardless of the consequences.
“Auntie, this servant has offended you!” After saying that, the few palace maids rushed forward. Although they did not touch Shi Anran, they still forced her to take a few steps back.
Shi Anran was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, but she could only stand there powerlessly, staring at the name of the hall in a daze. Suddenly, her voice grew louder and louder as she shouted, “Anran requests to see your majesty!”
“Auntie, you can’t yell here.” The court ladies were also extremely anxious. If the emperor woke them up, they would blame them in their hearts for their unhappiness. They wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if they left.
“Why is it so noisy?” The Emperor, who was sleeping soundly, asked in a dazed voice.
Imperial Noble Consort Zhao opened her eyes, and after she listened intently for a while, she said, “It seems like it was Anran who said she wanted to see the Emperor.”
His recent worries had caused the emperor to not have the energy to pay attention to anything else, so he unhappily opened his mouth and said, “This Shi Anran doesn’t have any rules! “You’re still being so presumptuous even in such a short time. It seems like I’ve really spoiled her too much, to actually have gotten used to these kinds of ailments.”
“Your majesty, do you want to go out and take a look? Maybe something really happened to her!” Imperial Noble Consort Zhao said gently.
“Forget it, let’s ignore her!” The Emperor shook his head. Just as he finished speaking, he heard Shi Anran shouting outside again. He immediately felt a burst of irritation and said slightly angrily, “Someone, come!”
The maid on night duty walked over quickly. “Your Majesty …”
“Throw away those who were shouting outside.” He spoke without mercy.
The maid lowered her eyes and complied, “This servant obeys!”
After the maid came out, she called the two guards over, “Aunt, if you don’t leave now, then I’ll have to make a move.”
Shi Anran had no other choice and knelt at the entrance of the Changchun Palace, “Since Your Majesty does not wish to see Anran, Anran will continue to kneel … “Kneel until the emperor is willing to see it!”
When Yi Yue found the Third Prince, he had just lied down, and was slightly unhappy that she had fallen asleep, “Third Prince, please save our young miss!”
Li Mu knew that he was Shi Anran’s servant, but after hearing what he said, he was slightly startled, then asked with his lips agape: “What’s wrong with your Young Miss?”
Yi Yue narrated everything that had happened, and then said with concern: “The young miss had this servant come to find Third Prince, while she herself went to the Changchun Palace to beg the Emperor for help. Third Prince, please help young miss! ”
“Regardless of whether it is the Changchun Palace or the Fengyi Palace, they are both harem. A prince like me has no right to enter the harem, I’m afraid you’ve begged the wrong person!” Li Mu’s answer was beyond Yi Yue’s expectations.
He thought that since Third Prince was outside the palace, he would at least have some friendship and no other feelings, but who would have thought that he would be so heartless. Gritting his teeth, he asked: “What must I do for Third Prince to be willing to help our young miss?”
“Like I said, that’s the imperial harem. There’s nothing I can do about it …” Such a result, was also something that Li Mu did not expect. This woman was so smart, why would she need his help? This time, he wanted to see how she would deal with it. Thinking about it, Li Mu’s eyes revealed a meaningful look.
Yi Yue clenched her teeth, feeling unreconciled, she kneeled down at the same time: “This servant requests Third Prince to appear, if Third Prince does not appear now, I’m afraid Miss would …” Yi Yue did not dare imagine that, although she did not have any good impressions towards Li Mu, at such an urgent moment, she had knelt down for the Miss’s sake.
Li Mu looked at Yi Yue with slight disgust, then slowly opened her mouth: “I won’t say anymore, you can go!” If he could defeat her just because of this matter, then what qualifications did such a woman have to accompany him and lead a prosperous life in the future? Royal Father was also secretly investigating the person who poisoned him, and might set him up as a target for investigation. If she went out to plead on Shi Anran’s behalf at this time, she would obviously become the spearhead of Imperial Father’s investigations.
He should have known earlier that he was a heartless person and that the young mistress had misjudged him! Yi Yue glared at him hatefully, then quickly left the place.
Li Mu did not miss the hatred in her eyes, and thinking back, he could not help but smile, and then said softly: “Shi Anran, this woman is interesting, even the maids are a little interesting.”
Not long after, thunder and lightning flashed in the dark sky, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down. Shi Anran who was in the rain was still kneeling in the rain, but her eyes were filled with coldness. She had thought that she had done her best and had a clear conscience towards the emperor. She had received the recognition and love of the emperor, but she hadn’t expected that the emperor wouldn’t even bother showing his face when something happened. However, he did not come out. If this continued, Liu Yue’s side might not be able to hold on for much longer.
The guard chased her out, and closed the vermilion door. Shi Anran knelt outside the door in a daze, her gaze unfocused and unfocused.
“Your Majesty, it’s raining …” The Imperial Noble Consort Zhao said softly. The thunder outside was loud, was that girl still kneeling? She didn’t know what had happened to make her disregard her identity and face so much.
The emperor faintly opened his mouth. “Sleep …”
Inside Phoenix Maiden Palace, the already tortured Liu Yue lay on the ground with his ten fingers being clamped in place until they were bleeding profusely. Pearl raised her chin proudly, a bowl of chili concocted water in her hand, and asked, “Are you admitting it or not?”
“Heh …” I don’t know anything, so I won’t say anything. ” Liu Yue’s breathing was weak, but she still stubbornly repeated herself many times. So what if it wasn’t the young mistress who did it? She didn’t want to say a word.
Li Ruolan lost her patience, she rolled her eyes at Zhu’er: “To deal with a lowly slave, why didn’t you make her speak? Why do you all eat the things that I raise you all for?”
“Imperial Mother, please calm your anger. This servant will definitely ask!” After saying that, Zhu’er walked forward and poured the entire basin of chili concoction over her finger, toe and various wounds. She silently thought to herself: You can’t blame me, you should blame yourself for offending Imperial Noble Consort Lan!
Miserable screams filled the entire Phoenix Nest Palace. Cui Yun who was waiting outside for further news was shocked, thinking that she should hurry up and report to her aunt.
Hearing Liu Yue’s screams, Li Ruolan actually felt at ease, and laughed twice, then said gently: “You still don’t want to say?”
Liu Yue no longer had any strength to speak, and her pupils gradually began to dim. She felt that her consciousness was being swallowed bit by bit, and every slight movement would cause a bone-piercing pain. Only when the pain hit her did she realize that she was actually still alive.
“I know that it wasn’t you who did it, as long as you obediently followed Shi Anran’s orders to poison me, I will release you today. If you continue to be so stubborn, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave Phoenix Nest Palace tonight.” After saying that, Li Ruolan laughed coldly. She did not expect that the maid of that slut to be so similar to her, and to still be stubborn to the point of death.
