Emperor Zhaojing glanced at her, then hurriedly ran away with Haifu.
Yes, it ran.
Their avoidance of the situation, as if it were a flood or a ferocious beast, made Rong Qingqing and the others, who had been watching for a long time, burst into laughter.
"Ha ha……"
The unrestrained laughter brought Guo Li back to her senses, making her tremble with anger.
After a long while, she finally suppressed her anger and resentment, turned around, and looked at Rong Qingqing, "What happened today, was it because of you, Your Highness..."
"Li'er, although you were a bit rude today, don't take it too hard. After all, everyone talks nonsense." Rong Qingqing suppressed her smile and reassured her in a serious tone.
Guo Li clenched her fists. Her words, though seemingly comforting, felt like a slap in the face.
Guo Li's face burned, yet she dared not speak out against her anger.
"Now that your leg injury has healed, I will send someone to escort you back to the post station." Before she could say anything, Rong Qingqing summoned a palace servant and ordered, "Escort Miss Guo out of the palace."
"Yes." The palace servant responded respectfully and walked towards Guo Li. "Miss Guo, this way please!"
Guo Li suddenly came to her senses, her forehead soaked with cold sweat.
Now that her leg injury has healed and the retired emperor no longer favors her, she naturally has no reason to stay in the palace.
She suddenly realized that Rong Qingqing had dug a huge pit for her, and she had no power to resist, so she could only jump in.
She had finally entered the palace and was just one step away from success. How could she be willing to be sent out of the palace like this?
"Your Majesty, I..."
Rong Qingqing didn't even bother to listen to her say another word, and gracefully left with Feng Xin and Shangguan Yanran.
Watching the three walk away, Guo Li felt extremely angry and resentful.
Why does Rong Qingqing always seem so aloof, while she always looks so disheveled?
She had done so much, endured immense suffering and pain, to become who she is today. She had thought that upon returning to the capital, she could finally live a life of luxury, but unexpectedly, she still failed.
Should we make her obediently follow Prince Shou out of the capital and head to Shouzhou?
How could she be willing to do this?
Seeing that she was standing there and wouldn't leave, the palace servants urged her impatiently, "Miss Guo, hurry up, I have to come back soon."
Guo Li glared coldly at a palace servant who dared to be so rude to her.
Unexpectedly, the palace maid glared back at her without backing down and said without any politeness, "Do you really think you're a noble lady? Before, the Emperor Emeritus thought highly of you, and the Empress only gave you some face. Now the Emperor Emeritus avoids you like the plague, so stop putting on airs. Hurry up and get out of the palace."
Guo Li was so angry that she trembled all over.
She has now fallen so low that even a palace maid dares to bully her at will.
All of this is thanks to Rong Qingqing!
A flash of resentment crossed her eyes.
Seeing her ashen face, the palace servant assumed she was furious and sneered, shoving her aside. "Go away, don't act like someone owes you anything. Who are you trying to impress?"
Guo Li left the palace in a disheveled state.
Rong Qingqing and the other two had already returned to Yuxian Palace.
Feng Xin kept laughing as she thought about what had just happened in the Imperial Garden.
"Sister-in-law, your move is a bit too ruthless, but I like it. To deal with such a shameless person, you should make her lose all face."
Rong Qingqing said irritably, "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
Feng Xin blinked. "Of course I'm praising you. Grandmother was troubled by this for several days, but you solved it so easily. If Grandmother knew that you were the one who helped her solve this problem, she would definitely remember your kindness."
