"Qi Hong!" Fu Zhao rushed inside the palace that belonged to her son with Ma Yun following behind her.
Fu Qi Hong was drinking tea with Imperial Concubine Qi when Fu Zhao walked inside. He turned to look at his mother who was heading towards him with swift movents. Fu Qi Hong was surprised when he saw how his mother walked so quickly because he had hardly seen his mother walk so fast in his life.
His father had taught him ever since he was young that Fu Zhao was the empress of the country and thus she needed to be firm and careful in every action of her. Even if his mother was just walking she had to keep her grace and elegance intact.
However, that grace and elegance couldn't be found with her mother storming towards him.
"Imperial mother, what is the matter?" Fu Qi Hong questioned his mother when he saw her heading straight towards him.
He did not know why a shiver suddenly climbed up his spine when he saw his mother. Maybe it had sothing to do with her expression or the stride with which she was walking towards him but Fu Qi Hong felt rather scared.
Even Imperial Concubine Qi felt sothing was wrong. He looked at his son and questioned him in a whisper, "What did you do?"
"I did not do anything," Fu Qi Hong whispered back. He was certain that he had not done anything wrong to make his mother this angry with him, at least he believed that he didn't.
Imperial Concubine Qi who stood next to Fu Qi Hong also hoped that his son had done nothing wrong but for so reason, he had a feeling that his hopes were dood to break into pieces. Because he had only seen his wife making such an expression a few countable tis and neither of those incidents ended peacefully.
He couldn't help but silently wonder what kind of ss his son had made for his wife to co looking for him.
Fu Zhao ca to a stop in front of Fu Qi Hong who swallowed.
The tea room where he and his father were sitting was not dark enough but it was dark enough to leave dark shadows over his mother's face. As Fu Qi Hong looked at the expression on the face of his mother, he couldn't help but tremble.
"Mother?"
"Qi Hong," Fu Zhao seed to be suppressing the urge to scream. She tapped on her monitor and showed the creativity that her son had shown with eggs and questioned, "Did you send this to Miss Qiang?"
Fu Qi Hong turned to look at the runny eggs image that was moving on the floating hologram. He blinked his eyes and then nodded slowly causing Imperial Concubine Qi to whip his head and give him a shocked expression.
"I did…but what is wrong with it?"
Imperial Concubine Qi sucked in a breath before covering his eyes with his hand. He did not expect this to happen, now he did not know whether to feel sorry for Mo Qiang or get angry at Fu Qi Hong for getting involved with Mo Qiang.
"Ah Hong, you——"
"I told you that, I did not touch it!" Fu Shuyan who walked inside the palace, spoke. She was talking to soone on the call and seed quite angry with what the person on the other side was saying. "Do you think that I will take such a disgusting thing? You are looking down on ?"
Fu Shuyan felt her head throb as she raised her head and found her mother looking at her. She did not expect her mother to be here, however, that did not surprise her but it was the content of the call, that her entire body stiffened.
"M——"
Fu Zhao raised her hand and placed her finger on her lips as she walked over to where Fu Shuyan was standing. She then tapped on the monitor and turned on the speaker function of the call. No sooner did she do it, than a loud and agitated voice ca from the other side.
"Elder sister, you are joking with , right? You are the only one who searches for my stash and then burns it, I know it was you but you need to stop doing this and return that stash to ! It cost a whooping five hundred thousand star coins! If you burn it all, it would be a loss for ——"
"Fu Tingfeng," Fu Zhao spoke up causing the person on the other side to turn silent. "You dare to buy drugs with the budget that was given to you?"
"M…Mo…Mo…"
"It's your dear and loving mother, my sweet daughter," Fu Zhao smiled as she spoke. She stared down at the monitor as if she was watching a dead person. "So this is why you submitted a report to increase the budget of your palace, this is what you are doing huh?"
"I…" The call ended in a hurry as the person on the other side cancelled the call.
Once the call was done, Fu Zhao turned to look at Fu Shuyan who lowered her head.
"You knew that she was doing drugs and you did not tell ?" Fu Zhao spoke reproachfully causing Fu Shuyan to almost kneel.
"I did not wish to trouble Mother, this is not a big thing and I can deal with it," Fu Shuyan peeked at her father who covered his face with his hands.
Fu Zhao arched a brow at her daughter before questioning, "What was this call about?"
Fu Shuyan knew that she could not hide the truth from her mother, so she answered honestly, "Tingfeng hid a stack of her drugs in the kitchen that belongs to both and Qi Hong. She wanted to avoid getting caught as I had been checking on her palace. She thought that there was no way I would check my own palace and thus her stash would be safe."
"Aiya! Was that stash of large green leaves? That seed to be breathing?" Fu Qi Hong suddenly remarked and Fu Zhao had a bad feeling.
"That's the one," Fu Shuyan frowned and agreed. "But how do you know it?" Her eyes widened as she questioned, "Don't tell , you——"
"I did not eat it... I cooked it…" Fu Qi Hong confessed and three pairs of eyes turned to look at him in shock. A furious blush scattered over his cheeks as he explained, "Those leaves slled good so I thought that they would taste good as well and enhance the flavour…."
"So you added it to the eggs that you sent Miss Qiang?" Imperial Concubine Qi sharply questioned and when Fu Qi Hong nodded, he stumbled.
"Your majesty…" Ma Yun turned to look at Fu Zhao whose face was really bad.
"Go and transfer fifty million star coins as compensation to Miss Qiang."
