Ca to watch the joke?
That also depends on whether she has the ability to co watch a joke!
She had been suppressing a burst of anger in her heart, and Liu Xuan’er just had to collide with her at this mont; was it not seeking her own death?
Liu Xuan’er’s heart pounded fiercely a few tis, and she muttered.
"I, this lowly one... this lowly one has co, has co..."
As she spoke, her gaze wandered left and right.
Her teeth ached with hatred; were these servants all deserving of death? Knowing that the Empress was at Autumn Fragrance Pavilion, these despicable creatures unexpectedly failed to inform her, causing her to bump right into the window.
Actually, the servants behind her also had grievances they could not express. With Liu Xuan’er’s angry deanor, even if they wanted to speak, they couldn’t find the words!
Slap!
Su Pan’er struck the side table with a slap, flipping it over; it fell to the ground with a sharp sound, refreshnts spilling everywhere.
"Speak!"
Her voice was deep as she snorted lightly.
Liu Xuan’er’s body trembled almost imperceptibly, suddenly rembering sothing, she toughened up. She straightened up, smiled, and looked up at Su Pan’er: "Oh! Look at the Empress’s grand presence, truly deserving of the Empress. However, this lowly one is here today at Feng Sister’s place naturally to congratulate Feng Sister for being with child, specifically to offer congratulations. Otherwise, what else could it be? Your Majesty, you agree, don’t you?"
"Hehe, congratulations? Is the commotion you’ve been making outside, calling for a beat down, your way of offering congratulations?"
Su Pan’er laughed coldly.
"Your Majesty must have misheard, previously this lowly one was disciplining the servants outside who dared to block my way. Even if you lend ten guts, I wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Your Majesty."
Liu Xuan’er argued.
"Sharp-tongued!"
Su Pan’er saw through her excuses at a glance: "You storm in here furiously like this, who are you trying to impress? Do you really think this palace’s eyes are blind, that I can’t see anything? I have commanded that no one should break in rashly, yet you blatantly ignored my decree and barged in? Guards!" she suddenly called out loudly.
An ominous thought flashed through Liu Xuan’er’s mind.
But before she could react, a commotion suddenly arose outside, and several of the Imperial Guards rushed in and knelt down neatly before Su Pan’er.
In unison they said, "Please command us, Your Majesty!"
Su Pan’er slowly stood up and walked towards Liu Xuan’er, looking down at her from above, her words light yet carrying an irresistible force.
"Liu Jieyu openly defies this palace, treating my decree as if it were nothing, she’s to be punished by reflecting in her quarters at Shuiyan Park for one month and to copy the palace regulations a hundred tis. Without a command from , no one is allowed to visit her. Take her away!"
"We will comply with the Empress’s decree!"
The group of Imperial Guards responded in unison, turned around in a businesslike, impartial manner, stepped forward and began to seize Liu Xuan’er.
Liu Xuan’er had never expected Su Pan’er to treat her like this, and imdiately cried out in alarm.
"You, you cannot treat like this! I am Liu Jieyu; His Majesty will not allow you to do this, let go! Let go..."
"As for His Majesty, I will naturally explain to him. Liu Jieyu need not worry about ."
Su Pan’er looked at her with a sorrowful gaze before coldly reprimanding, "Take her away!"
The Imperial Guards, no longer hesitating, moved forward and directly seized Liu Jieyu and the others, escorting them away. The noisy commotion gradually faded, and quiet once again returned to the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion.
Normally gentle, the Empress had suddenly beco genuinely enraged, frightening everyone in the room.
It was not until this mont that people rembered that this very person, on the battlefield, could kill as swiftly and fiercely as cutting through a waterlon, and her deanor caused the restless won of the imperial harem to fall silent completely.
After dealing with Liu Xuan’er, the irrelevant people finally left, and Su Pan’er then turned her gaze back to Feng Xiyue.
Throughout the chaos, Feng Xiyue had not spoken a word, kneeling silently without moving.
"You have soone you wish to protect, and so do I. I will ask you just one question, who is the father of this child?"
"Empress, please don’t ask."
Feng Xiyue’s face held a resolute smile as she gently caressed her belly, "Regardless of whether this child is a boy or a girl, he or she is Xiyue and His Majesty’s child, now, in the future, forever."
"You... Very well! Since you are determined to have your way, then I shall grant you your wish!"
Having said that, Su Pan’er strode past her and headed for the door.
She stopped at the doorway, adding, "Think it over! When you’ve made up your mind, you can always co to ."
Feng Xiyue turned to bow once more to the ground, "Xiyue pays her respects as the Empress leaves!"
Su Pan’er lingered for a mont, seeing that Feng Xiyue’s mind was made up, and then walked back to Huayang Palace with exhausted steps.
One troubleso matter after another left her completely weary, and as soon as she returned to her palace, she collapsed into bed and fell asleep.
On the other hand, as soon as the news of Feng Xiyue’s pregnancy reached the court, His Majesty’s rewards arrived at Autumn Fragrance Pavilion before he did. Not only was Feng Gui Ren (honourable person Feng) promoted to the legitimate fifth grade as Imperial Concubine, but she also received a plethora of precious trinkets and jade artifacts.
The court ministers, although delighted, felt less excitent compared to when Liu Jieyu had been pregnant with the dragon spawn. Consequently, the stir caused by Imperial Concubine Feng’s pregnancy was noticeably less intense.
Though the Empress is of the Su surna, everyone in the court knew that in reality, she was from the Liu Family. They scoffed at the rumors once spread regarding His Majesty’s so-called ill health.
The story of the two Liu sisters serving His Majesty together was sung far and wide, soon becoming a delightful tale in both court and countryside.
This also resulted in ceaseless traffic at Liu Family’s Mansion, bustling like a marketplace with an unending stream of carriages and visitors.
anwhile, the news of Liu Jieyu being confined spread sohow. Qin Yi had originally thought the Liu Family would plead for her, but unexpectedly, Liu Yankang presented a petition to the court stating that Liu Jieyu, who had dared to contradict the Empress, deserved severe punishnt.
His Majesty’s face darkened on the spot!
Every minister in the court was aware that Liu Jieyu was carrying the dragon spawn. Was this Liu Yankang causing such a scene, intending to use the courtiers to force him to lift the ban on the Empress?
It didn’t take long for soone to stand up to plead on Liu Jieyu’s behalf.
This amused Qin Yi to no end!
Putting aside whether Liu Jieyu had contradicted the Empress, to Qin Yi, it didn’t matter.
What mattered was that as long as Pan’er had decreed a confinent, the punishnt must be carried out.
Moreover, Liu Jieyu had dared to vex Pan’er, and confining her to her quarters for a few days as punishnt was actually too lenient.
"The actions of the Empress have her own reasons and thods. I entrusted the entire Imperial Harem to the Empress, that is to say, I entrusted my back to her. We share both fortune and disaster, life and death. Back when I was defending the city in the river, the Empress was already my support, fighting alongside through life and death. With such broad-mindedness, do you truly believe she would seek personal revenge over a few private remarks in the palace? Think too little of the Empress’ magnanimity! To look down upon the Empress is to look down upon . Whoever dares to vex the Empress has vexed . Speak again, and be beaten to death with a chaotic stick! Let this matter rest, my courtiers need not discuss it further!"
