Chapter 178 Zhenguo returns to Beijing
As soon as Emperor Jing of Wei left, the smile on Concubine Shu's face disappeared instantly.
Lianyi, the personal maid of Concubine Shu, stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has woken up and has been talking nonsense for a while."
"What nonsense is she talking about?"
"He said that the Fifth Prince's ghost was seeking revenge, and he also said that if he wanted to seek revenge, he would take someone else's life."
Concubine Shu sneered and said, "The Empress Dowager is so frightened, the harem needs your concern."
When I walked into the side hall, I saw the Queen Mother throwing all the things on the bed onto the ground. A large number of palace servants were kneeling on the ground. The Queen Mother was still yelling: "What do I want you bunch of trash for? Get out, get out..."
"What's wrong, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager?" Concubine Shu asked as she walked in.
Seeing Concubine Shu, the Queen Mother thought of Su Siyi's face: "Why are you here?"
"Why, you haven't told the Queen Mother what happened this morning?" Seeing that all the palace inhabitants were kneeling on the ground in silence, Concubine Shu sat down on a chair beside her and told the Queen Mother the scene that everyone saw this morning truthfully with great care.
After hearing the whole story, the Queen Mother froze up, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word.
How could she save face after being seen by so many people like that?
Seeing the Queen Mother's expression of being struck by lightning, Concubine Shu remained calm, but she already had a sense of mockery in her heart. She once thought that the Queen Mother, who was so high and mighty, would also have such a day.
Fortunately, she made the right choice last night.
Those who seem invincible are actually not that strong. They have trapped themselves in a corner. When they come out, they will find how conservative they were before.
"Where is the emperor? I want to see him!" After a long time, the empress dowager said this.
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "The Emperor has already come, but he said that he is busy with government affairs, so I can only take care of the Empress Dowager these days."
"Isn't it all because of you that I'm in this state now? You have the time to take care of me here, but who will take care of your son's future?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Shu slammed the table in anger and said, "Empress Dowager, how can you curse your grandson just because you did something like this? What do you mean by Si Yi's concubine? Si Yi is alive and well, what could possibly happen to her?"
"Is Su Siyi alive?" The Queen Mother couldn't believe it. It was impossible. Su Siyi must have been found dead in the pond. Otherwise, why would she meet Su Siyi who wanted to kill her in the middle of the night yesterday?
"Empress Dowager, are you possessed by a demon?" Concubine Shu asked. "It seems that I should not have asked Imperial Physician Zhao to come over for you. Instead, I should have asked the people from the Imperial Observatory to come over and check on you."
Just as she said this, the Queen Mother suddenly came over and said, "It was you who plotted against me!"
The Queen Mother had lived for such a long time and had never believed in ghosts and gods. If the dead could really come back to claim their lives, how could she still be alive?
It was just that last night was so scary that she didn't react at all, so she got drunk.
"Empress Dowager, if you have no guilt in your heart, why would you be afraid?" Concubine Shu looked at the Empress Dowager with a cold look in her eyes.
The Queen Mother had never seen such a Concubine Shu. In her memory, Concubine Shu was gentle and virtuous, so she acted recklessly against Su Siyi. It was because she knew that even if Su Siyi died, Concubine Shu would not dare to do anything.
