Empress Xu did not make a sound, so Ling Jingshu stayed kneeling like this
-Knees kneeling on the smooth cold ground, vaguely painful
Empress Xu really came with bad intentions
Today, she specially summoned her to the Pepper Room Hall, and it was obvious that she did not have good intentions
Ling Jingshu’s heart sank slowly
I don’t know how long it took before Empress Xu leisurely opened her mouth, “Get up!”Thank you, Empress Mother”
Ling Jingshu opened her mouth to thank her, then stood up
After kneeling for so long, her knees were sore and numb
When she stood up, her body swayed slightly
Ling Jingshu took a deep breath and stabilized herself
Standing up straight, her gaze slightly drooped, just in time to take in Empress Xu’s face
When they first met, Empress Xu’s face was charming and elegant without losing her graciousness
This time, without the presence of outsiders, Empress Xu was clearly no longer in the mood to put on a show
A pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness and ill will
Was it for King Yan?
Or
For Eunuch Wei?
Ling Jingshu secretly pondered in her heart, but her complexion was calm as usual, and she stood with her hands hanging down
-Empress Xu did not make a sound, so she also stood quietly
After a long period of silent confrontation, Empress Xu suddenly opened her mouth coldly: “Ling Jingshu, do you know your crime?”
A tone of interrogation
Ling Jingshu calmly responded, “Why did Empress Xu suddenly say this?
I really don’t know what mistake I’ve made, so please enlighten me, Empress Mother”
Empress Xu let out a cold laugh, her voice adding a few more points of coldness, “This palace has opened its mouth to ask, so naturally, I won’t wrong you
You don’t have to play dumb again
If you don’t admit your mistake today, this palace can’t spare you!”
When she said the last sentence, her voice rose steeply, and her gaze was cold, revealing a murderous aura
Ling Jingshu’s heart sank
Empress Xu’s appearance was by no means feigned, but she had really moved to kill
This was not a good day to go through!
She had to be fully energized to cope with it, or else she would not be able to walk out of the Pepper Room Hall peacefully
She would never want to walk out of the Pepper Room Hall peacefully!Empress Mother, please calm your anger”
Ling Jingshu’s mind flickered, and she swiftly changed to a terrified look, kneeling down to apologize: “I really don’t know what’s going on
Even if Empress Xu wants to punish her, she should still let her find out”
Empress Xu lightly hummed
Smiling without smiling, she said, “What an eloquent girl!
No wonder you were able to mesmerize Yan Wang, going so far as to take the initiative to beg in front of this palace for you
If this palace does not agree, it will hurt the feelings and anger between mother and son
But if it really did so agree, this palace’s heart would be even more stifled”
It turned out that it was because of Yan Wang’s great thunder!
Ling Jingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with her head lowered, “Please, Empress Mother, listen to my daughter’s explanation
-“My daughter brought my brother to the capital
It was to cure my younger brother’s eye disease
It was a coincidence that I met His Highness, King Yan
I know that my identity is lowly, and I have never thought of climbing up the ladder, let alone getting close to King Yan
I didn’t even know that His Highness would say these words to the Empress
I still ask Empress Dowager to be clear about this”
Empress Xu continued to sneer, “Coquettish words!
King Yan had grown up in the palace since he was a child, and was used to seeing beauties of all colors
Nowadays, there is no shortage of beauties serving him
If you did not take the initiative to seduce, how could the King of Yan not forget you, insisting on marrying you as a side consort, but also personally begged to come in front of this palace?”
Reasoning with the most protective and brash person under the sky was obviously not going to work
In Empress Xu’s eyes
Yan Wang was a thousand times better, not half as bad
It was certainly her fault that King Yan wanted to marry her, and it must have been her initiative to seduce her!
If she opened her mouth and said “I have no intention of marrying King Yan”, Empress Xu would only laugh coldly and would not listen to her explanation at all
Thinking deeper, Empress Xu’s sudden difficulty is not only for the sake of Yan Wang
For Empress Xu, her son’s marriage to a side consort is actually inconsequential
The real Queen Xu cynicism is difficult to endure, is she and Wei Yan only see seemingly ambiguous feelings it!
Only
This point is unable to tell the mouth
Thus, Yan Wang became Empress Xu’s excuse for being deliberately difficult
Having figured this out, Ling Jingshu’s heart was clear
Ling Jingshu pressed down the anger in her heart and raised her head
Shame, inferiority complexity and despondency flowed out of her eyes
If eyes can speak, Ling Jingshu’s eyes at this moment are
Empress Xu, however, had a heart of stone and was unmoved, “Why, do you have nothing to say?”
Ling Jingshu’s eyes flashed with a bit of watery light, biting her lips hard before she opened her mouth, “Empress Xu
My daughter has a great secret
This secret is only known to my grandmother and father at home
Now, I want to tell this secret to Empress Dowager
When Empress Dowager hears it, she will know my daughter’s plight”
Empress Xu’s appetite was also whetted, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, “Oh?
What exactly is the secret?”
Ling Jingshu pleaded, “Please, Empress Xu, let the people who are serving retreat first”
Empress Xu’s face turned cold, “Ling Jingshu, what do you mean by this?
If only this palace and you are left in the bedchamber, in case you suddenly rise up and hurt someone, won’t this palace be in danger?”
Ling Jingshu revealed a bitter smile, “When Empress Mother says so, my daughter is terrified
Even if I were given more guts, I would never dare to do anything to harm the phoenix body
This secret is related to my daughter’s reputation, it is really inappropriate to let too many people know
Please ask the Empress to sympathize
If Empress Dowager insists on not allowing it, then I have nothing more to say”
After saying this, she closed her mouth, actually looking like she didn’t intend to open her mouth again
But where a woman was concerned, there would always be some curiosity
Empress Xu was no exception
The tighter Ling Jingshu’s mouth was like this, the stronger her curiosity becameThat’s all!”
Empress Xu tensed her face and said in a deep voice, “This palace will give you one chance
If you dare to tease this palace, this palace will never be lenient!”
Empress Xu gave a wink, and the palace maids and eunuchs standing by to wait retreated in a line
After the door to the bedchamber was closed, only Empress Xu, who was lying on the bedchamber, and Ling Jingshu, who was kneeling in front of the bedchamber, remained in the bedchamber
How likely would it be to kill Empress Xu if she took advantage of this moment to strike?
This tantalizing thought instantly floated to the surface of her mind, and was almost immediately suppressed by reason
Not to mention the fact that she was unarmed, even if she were to suddenly choke Empress Xu, as long as Empress Xu struggled, the palace maids and chamberlains waiting outside the door would immediately rush in
Even if she could kill Empress Xu, she would definitely not be able to escape from the palace, and she would also involve Ling’s family and Wei Jieyu, Dr Wei’s sister and brother
Empress Xu raised her eyebrows slightly impatiently, “Alright, now it’s as you wish!
Don’t say anything!”
Ling Jingshu fixed her mind, a saddened look on her face, “Empress Xu is willing to listen to my daughter, I can’t thank her enough
This matter is a long story, but also from a few months ago “
