Emperor Yuanwu could not persuade Mu Qianqian otherwise.
An hour later.
Mu Qianqian cried herself to sleep, then leaned on Emperor Yuanwu's shoulder and fell asleep.
Emperor Yuanwu was also tired, so he rested directly in Consort Shu's palace.
This time.
Consort Shu couldn't sleep at all.
She could already picture how the entire palace would be cursing the seductive and wicked woman tomorrow.
The Empress Dowager wanted to summon her to Cining Palace early in the morning to give her a reprimand.
I'm innocent!
Consort Shu looked at the sky in despair.
They didn't even wait until the next morning.
Bin'er rushed in from outside.
She moved her lips, but before she could speak.
Then Wang Mama from the Empress Dowager's palace came: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager requests your presence at Cining Palace."
Consort Shu: ...
Did they have to come so fast?!
"Wang Mama, please wait a moment while I change my clothes."
When Consort Shu came out of Qiluan Garden, the entire palace was shrouded in a strong smell of burning.
She couldn't help but cough: Where did all that smoke come from?
However, what she was thinking about more at that moment was...
It's the middle of the night.
What did the Empress Dowager want with her?
Since his suspension was lifted.
Consort Shu rarely moved around in the palace.
She carefully reviewed all the events that had happened recently.
It seems that apart from Emperor Yuanwu staying overnight at Qiluan Garden tonight, he has not committed any other wrongdoings.
Consort Shu stood at the entrance of Cining Palace and took a deep breath.
She was prepared to be severely punished.
No matter how angry the Empress Dowager was, she would grit her teeth and never say that her daughter had pestered Emperor Yuanwu to keep her from leaving.
She read her daughter's heartfelt words and had already escaped several disasters.
This time, it's her turn to protect Mu Qianqian.
Consort Shu took a deep breath and stepped into Cining Palace.
She was suddenly startled.
The entire Cining Palace was brightly lit.
It seems that apart from her and the newly conferred Consort Qing, all the other concubines were present.
The Empress, wearing a shawl and with her hair slightly disheveled, stood beside the Empress Dowager, supported by a nanny.
What... exactly happened?
"This humble servant greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty live a thousand years!" Consort Shu knelt and bowed, a chill running down her spine, a vague sense of foreboding creeping over her.
"Consort Shu, how dare you! You've only just been released from confinement, and you're already so restless," the Empress Dowager said coldly.
Consort Shu frowned deeply.
As expected.
She knew this would happen.
What's meant to happen will happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
The Empress Dowager is now quite old.
They're so impatient; even if they wanted to reprimand them, they wouldn't wait until dawn.
She wasn't afraid of summoning her here and alarming the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Consort Shu kowtowed.
The Empress's sobs paused, and she looked at Consort Shu with a mixture of shock and disbelief.
"Knowing you're wrong, why did you do it? Consort Shu, you've only just been released from confinement. You should behave yourself. Why aren't you staying in your own palace? In the middle of the night, you're really going to drive me crazy!" The Empress Dowager sighed helplessly.
Consort Shu: Uh...
What is the Empress Dowager saying?
Shouldn't we say she seduced the emperor?
Why not stay in your own palace?
She has never gone out.
Consort Shu's expression hardened, and her ominous premonition intensified.
She seemed to have guessed something, but wasn't quite sure.
"Your Majesty, I did not leave the palace today. I do not know what Your Majesty has done?" Consort Shu lowered her head, her mind in turmoil.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager was looking for her not because Emperor Yuanwu stayed in her palace tonight?
