The Empress Dowager knew that Yu Jingchen had entered, but she didn't even glance at him. On the contrary, Nan Zhiyun seemed flustered when she saw Yu Jingchen enter, and the smile on her face disappeared.
She was about to rise and pay her respects, but the Empress Dowager pulled her back.
"Why has Your Majesty come in?" the Empress Dowager asked.
Yu Jingchen glanced at Nan Zhiyun, who then lowered her head awkwardly.
"I've come to see the Empress Dowager. After all, she has just returned, and I haven't had a chance to pay my respects to her yet," Yu Jingchen said.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. It is unacceptable for the Son of Heaven to come and pay his respects to me. It would shorten my lifespan." The Empress Dowager did not even move her seat.
"Is Mother blaming me?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"It's good that Your Majesty knows," the Empress Dowager immediately replied.
Nan Zhiyun: "..."
Yu Jingchen: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Finally, Nan Zhiyun forced herself to say, "Please don't blame Her Majesty, the Empress Dowager is just in a bad mood today and is tired, nothing..." Before Nan Zhiyun could finish speaking, Yu Jingchen interrupted her.
"I just thought you and the Empress Dowager were laughing happily. Why are you in a bad mood now? Also, do you need to tell me what the Empress Dowager and I are doing?" Yu Jingchen was also angry, so his tone and expression were somewhat chilling.
Nan Zhiyun was indeed frightened. Just a moment ago, she felt as if she had seen Yu Jingchen from before again.
"Insolence!" Seeing Nan Zhiyun's expression change because of Yu Jingchen, the Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"Emperor! What do you want to do? In front of me, do you still want to punish Yun'er? How have you treated Yun'er while I was away from the palace?" The Empress Dowager was furious.
Yu Jingchen actually wanted to take back his words the moment they left his mouth. Seeing Nan Zhiyun's expression change, he knew that his words had been too harsh, but how could he take them back once they were spoken?
Now, being questioned like this by the Empress Dowager, Yu Jingchen became somewhat impatient, as if... he had heard something he didn't want to hear... (he was so embarrassed and angry...)
"Your Majesty is being far too agitated. What I have done is my own business. Who dares to question me?" Yu Jingchen's temper flared up, and his tone became somewhat gloomy.
"Yes, Yun'er is foolish, foolishly liking you, foolishly waiting for you, but do you really want to continue hurting her like this? Torturing her body, ravaging her heart, trampling on her self-esteem. Yu Jingchen, is your heart really so cold?!" The Empress Dowager became agitated.
Yu Jingchen was taken aback by what he was said and subconsciously looked at Nan Zhiyun, but he could only see that her eyes were red and her gaze was lowered, with a look of forbearance on her face. Yu Jingchen's heart suddenly felt like it had been tugged by someone.
“It is not appropriate for Consort Nan to stay in Cining Palace indefinitely. Please send her back to He’an Palace.” Yu Jingchen ordered.
Nan Zhiyun's face paled. Now that they were taking her away, she naturally felt that Yu Jingchen was angry and about to vent his anger on her. Not only her, but the Empress Dowager also thought so.
So he stood directly in front of Nan Zhiyun and said, "Let's see who dares to do this!"
"Does the Empress Dowager intend to defy my decree?" Yu Jingchen's heart grew increasingly agitated, and he couldn't even describe his own feelings.
