"Your Highness, I—"
Cheng Wang looked embarrassed after being rebuked and was about to explain when Xiao Ye quickly took Su Liluo's hand and walked away.
Only King Cheng and his wife remained, stunned in place.
After walking for a while and completely shaking off King Cheng and his entourage, Su Liluo realized that the road she was on was not the way out of the palace.
She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where are you taking me?"
"Go see the Empress Dowager."
Xiao Ye turned around and said.
Previously, they would always enter directly from outside the palace to go to the Phoenix Palace, but this time they would go through the main banquet hall, so the route they took would be different.
Upon hearing this, Su Liluo realized that she also wanted to check on the Empress's health.
When the two arrived at the Phoenix Palace, they saw that the Empress was already dressed and looking anxious as she was about to leave.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Seeing that he was about to run into the Empress, Xiao Ye quickly spoke up and asked.
The Empress raised her eyes and saw Xiao Ye and the others. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward with concern.
"Ye'er, are you alright? Your mother heard that something happened at the palace banquet, that someone was making things difficult for you and Luo'er, so she plans to go and see."
Although she did not attend the palace banquet today, she was very worried because it was Xiao Ye's first banquet after his leg recovered, so she sent someone to check on him.
When she learned that Su Liluo and the others were being harassed, she decided to go and see for herself.
"Mother, everything is alright now, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye offered a word of comfort to the Empress.
Then, she and Su Liluo walked in.
The Empress carefully inquired about everything that happened at the palace banquet, and Su Liluo told the Empress everything.
Upon hearing this, the Empress's face flashed with deep displeasure.
"How could His Majesty be so biased! This Consort Liu is now so blatantly and arrogantly harming people! If it weren't for Luo'er this time, then Ye'er, you..."
Thinking of the consequences if Xiao Ye were to kill his father, the Empress couldn't help but have tears well up in her eyes.
At that moment, she truly hated her own incompetence.
However, Emperor Wenjian no longer favors her. She had told him at today's palace banquet that she had recovered and could attend.
However, Emperor Wenjian still insisted that she rest for a while longer, and said that the palace had been well managed by Consort Liu over the years, so it should remain as it was.
She never even considered handing over the power of the harem to herself again.
In addition, her family has been suppressed by the Chu King's faction ever since Xiao Ye's leg was crippled, and they are now doing little in the court.
"Mother, I am fine."
Xiao Ye reassured him.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to my husband."
Su Liluo also offered a word of comfort.
The Empress looked at Su Liluo with gratitude, nodding repeatedly and stroking her hand: "Thanks to you, Luo'er, Ye'er is truly blessed to have met you!"
Now she truly feels that Su Liluo is an exceptionally good daughter-in-law, and she wonders how much good fortune her son must have accumulated to meet such a wonderful woman.
Su Liluo looked at the Empress's hand in her palm and took the opportunity to check her pulse.
I noticed that she is much healthier than before and can move around freely, so why didn't she go to the palace banquet tonight?
So she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, why didn't you come to the palace banquet tonight?"
"His Majesty told me to rest well, saying that the Consort did a good job in these matters, and that I should just rest as before."
The Empress lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Su Liluo naturally understood this.
Thinking of Emperor Wenjian's favoritism towards Consort Liu today, she still couldn't help but have doubts.
"Mother, you say the Emperor likes Consort Gui so much, is it possible that Consort Gui has also cast a spell on the Emperor?"
"This... can't be right."
The Empress exclaimed in surprise.
"If not, then why has the Emperor favored the Imperial Concubine so much for so many years? Even in a situation like today, he openly and blatantly showed her favoritism. Such affection is truly..."
I'm so confused!
Su Liluo dared not say it aloud, but she was incredibly curious.
Speaking of beauty, the Imperial Concubine is no longer a teenager; there are quite a few beautiful women in the harem.
But he has spoiled her all these years.
The Empress frowned, pondered for a long time, and then shook her head.
"That's impossible. When the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, he treated Consort Liu differently from others."
Seeing the Empress's certainty, Su Liluo also fell into deep thought.
If the Emperor continues to favor Consort Liu in this way, it will definitely not be a good thing for them.
However, according to her memories of her previous life, Xiao Ye was in a wheelchair before she died, and she also did a lot of things for the King of Chu.
At that time, the King of Chu was doing very well in the court, and basically everyone believed that the future crown prince would be the King of Chu.
Therefore, in her previous life, Consort Liu did not openly take action against Xiao Ye.
But in this life, because of my own changes, many things are different.
Since Consort Liu failed this time, she certainly won't give up easily. So they need to find a way to make her completely lose favor.
*
At the same time, after Emperor Wenjian left, he still severely reprimanded Consort Liu and, for the first time in history, slapped her.
"Le Yao! This is the first time I'm warning you. Don't take advantage of my favor and act recklessly. I have no problem with your ambition, but if you do something like this again, then your relationship with me will be completely ruined!"
Emperor Wenjian angrily reprimanded Consort Liu.
He was not only angry that Consort Liu had framed the Crown Prince, but also angry that she disregarded her own safety.
