Having decided to enter the palace, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law skipped lunch and went straight in.

At Huayang Palace, upon hearing that Bai Shi and Su Xuening had entered the palace, Su Huiyan immediately led people to stop them.

Bai Shi and Su Xuening ran into Su Huiyan just after passing through the Imperial Garden.

Enemies meeting are bound to be hostile. Bai only glanced at Su Huiyan before preparing to leave with Su Xuening.

Upon seeing this, a palace maid beside Su Huiyan immediately shouted coldly, "Stop! How dare you not pay your respects to our Consort Su!"

Before Bai Shi could give any indication or instructions, Granny Shang, who was standing behind Bai Shi, rushed forward and slapped the little palace maid hard across the face.

A sharp "snap!" startled everyone present.

The young palace maid covered her face, looking at Granny Shang in disbelief, as if blaming her for daring to lay a hand on her.

Seeing the blame and resentment in the little palace maid's eyes, Granny Shang sneered, "Are you blind? You even dare to scold the Dowager Consort. Slapping you was already a favor to Consort Su. If you want to die, I, Granny Shang, wouldn't mind sending you on your way!"

The young palace maid never expected that this Granny Shang would dare to lay a hand on her in front of Consort Su, and even dare to say such arrogant words. She immediately looked at Consort Su with a pitiful expression.

Su Huiyan hadn't expected Bai Shi to be so arrogant after entering the palace. She asked sternly, "Bai Fuya, what are you doing in the palace?"

"I don't need to report to you what I do!"

Bai ignored Su Huiyan completely and went straight to Chengqian Palace after passing through her.

Su Huiyan was not about to let it go, and rushed forward again to block Bai Shi and Su Xuening's path: "Bai Fuya, don't think you're so great just because you're the Holy King's Dowager Consort. I am a first-rank consort. How dare you disrespect me!"

Bai finally looked at Su Huiyan properly, but her eyes were filled with utter contempt: "So what if you're a first-rank imperial concubine? In terms of rank, you have to bow to me."

She didn't want to pay any attention to this woman, but this woman insisted on provoking her and even tried to intimidate her with her status. When it comes to status, Bai Fuya has never been afraid of anyone.

She was the former Crown Princess, a first-rank imperial consort, and she held an official title. Even if Consort Su regained her rank, she would only be a second-rank concubine. Compared to her, she would lose in every way!

Bai's merciless words were like a public slap in the face to Su Huiyan.

She was unconvinced, but she really couldn't refute her, since in terms of rank, she was indeed not as high as her.

It's all because of this vixen that the Emperor was bewitched. Otherwise, she would have been the Empress long ago, the true mother of the nation in Eastern Chu. How could she be allowed to humiliate him like this!

Su Huiyan took a deep breath and stared coldly at Bai Shi: "You've come to see the Emperor, haven't you? The Emperor is ill and won't see any outsiders. You should go back."

Whether the Emperor sees me or not is not up to you!

Bai Shi had no intention of paying any attention to Su Huiyan and was about to leave when Su Huiyan blocked her way again. Bai Shi was furious and shouted coldly, "Su Huiyan, a good dog doesn't block the way!"

Bai Shi's anger made Su Huiyan happy. She wasn't even angry when she was called a dog. She still blocked Bai Shi's way and said arrogantly, "I said that His Majesty is seriously ill and will not receive any guests!"

Bai glared angrily at Su Huiyan: "It was only because His Majesty was seriously ill that I came to visit him on behalf of the Holy Prince's Mansion."

"Visit him?" Su Huiyan looked at Bai Shi with a mocking gaze, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said as if she had exposed her, "The Emperor is already ill, and you are still thinking about seducing the Emperor. Have you no shame!"

Su Huiyan's provocative words once again enraged Bai Shi: "Su Huiyan, watch your mouth and don't impose your filthy thoughts on others."

"Is my mind filthy?" Su Huiyan was instantly enraged by Bai's words and roared, "You have the nerve to do those seductive things yourself, and you still have the nerve to say that others have filthy minds!"

She even dared to say that she didn't come to the palace to seduce the emperor. This shameless vixen! If she hadn't bewitched the emperor, why would he have wanted to acknowledge Xuan Yuanzhan, this bastard, and make him the crown prince?

The Emperor had clearly been grooming their Yu'er to be the Crown Prince, but it was this wretched woman who gave birth to the bastard Xuan Yuanzhan, bewitching the Emperor and causing him to lose his mind. Their Yu'er was forced into this situation by them.

Despite Su Huiyan's insults, Bai remained defiant: "I, Bai Fuya, have a clear conscience and have no right to interfere!"

Bai Fuya has never wronged anyone in her life, so no one can criticize her actions. She doesn't need these people to judge whether her actions are right or wrong. In short, she has no shame before anyone or the world!

Seeing Bai's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Su Huiyan was momentarily stunned.

This vixen seduced the Emperor and yet dares to act so self-righteously; she is utterly shameless!

Just as Su Huiyan was about to continue cursing, she suddenly saw Zong Jiu bring over two eunuchs.

Zong Jiu led the eunuchs to Bai Shi and Su Huiyan.

"This old servant greets the Dowager Consort and Consort Su." Zong Jiu first bowed to Madam Bai, and then to Su Huiyan. This also indirectly proved that Madam Bai's rank was higher than Su Huiyan's. At the same time, it made the little palace maid who had just offended Madam Bai very flustered.

Of course, even disregarding rank, in Zong Jiu's eyes, the Empress Dowager's status was higher, because she was the Emperor's most beloved person!

Zong Jiu's differential treatment made Su Huiyan's face turn somewhat ugly, but she couldn't lash out.

Zong Jiuchao bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Bai's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately wanted to follow Zong Jiu to Chengqian Palace.

Has the Emperor woken up?

That's great! I wonder how the Emperor is doing?

"Has the Emperor really woken up?" Su Huiyan felt a pang of panic. She didn't know if the Emperor knew that Yu'er had done it to him.

Su Huiyan snapped out of her daze and immediately followed up, "I also wish to see the Emperor."

She wanted to see what the Emperor knew, and at the same time, she wanted to find out the Emperor's specific situation.

Seeing this, Zong Jiu quickly stopped Su Huiyan: "I'm sorry, His Majesty said that only the Dowager Consort and the Holy Princess are present."

Upon hearing this, Su Huiyan's face turned extremely ugly again. She clenched her fists tightly and could only watch helplessly as Zong Jiu led Bai Shi into Chengqian Palace.

Why is the emperor unwilling to see her?

Did the Emperor find out something?

That's probably impossible. If the Emperor really knew that Yu'er was the one who did it, he would have punished Yu'er long ago.

Don't panic, everything is still under control.

Su Huiyan stared menacingly at Bai Shi's disappearing figure.

Bai Fuya, that vixen, once she becomes Empress Dowager, the first thing I'll do is make her wish she were dead!
