When Xuanyuan Yu and his party arrived at Chengqian Palace, they were stopped outside by the Imperial Guards.
"I want to see the Emperor! How dare you stop me!"
Su Huiyan tried to throw a tantrum again, but this time the Imperial Guards were not buying it and refused to back down: "Consort Su has already gone in to see His Majesty. His Majesty has ordered that no one except those brought in by Eunuch Jiu is allowed to enter Chengqian Palace."
"..." The emperor's order left Su Huiyan speechless.
Just now she was able to say that the emperor hadn't woken up at all and that Zong Jiu had falsely conveyed the imperial edict.
But now that she has met the Emperor, she can no longer use those words to vent her anger.
Upon hearing this, Consort Liang turned to Su Huiyan in shock: "Sister, you've already seen the Emperor, so the Emperor is really awake? What did the Emperor say to you?"
Su Huiyan's face turned ashen, and she snorted coldly: "With that vixen Bai Fuya around, what can the Emperor say to me? I only said two words when I went in, and then the Emperor kicked me out."
Liang Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Su Huiyan's angry face, and she did not doubt the truth of what she said.
However, when the Emperor woke up, Bai Fuya was by his side. Now the Emperor has summoned the Prince of Ming and the Commander of the Three Armies, General Cao, to the palace. His purpose is self-evident. This is not good!
Consort Liang exchanged a glance with Xuan Yuanzhi, then turned to the Imperial Guards with a stern face: "I have important business to discuss with the Emperor. Go and inform him."
"But..." The Imperial Guards were hesitant to report, not wanting to go. Just then, Consort Liang shot them a glare: "My affairs are more important than the heavens. If you delay my important business, you won't be able to bear the consequences even if you have ten lives!"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guard dared not delay any longer. He bowed to Consort Liang and then turned to go inside to report.
Taking advantage of the situation, Su Huiyan led the eunuchs to cause a scene: "I also have important matters to discuss with the Emperor. Anyone who dares to stop me will have their head taken!"
While making a scene, Su Huiyan led her people into Chengqian Palace.
Xuanyuan Yu, Consort Liang, Xuanyuan Zhi, and Xuanyuan Duo also took the opportunity to enter Chengqian Palace.
The Imperial Guards tried to stop them, but they couldn't stop them at all.
Just as Su Huiyan was about to lead her people into the main hall, the main hall door opened again.
This time, the one who came out was the Imperial Guard who went in to report, followed by Zong Jiu and Bai Shi.
Upon seeing Zong Jiu and Bai Shi emerge, Su Huiyan, Consort Liang, and the others immediately adopted strange expressions.
At such a crucial moment, the Emperor didn't even leave room for Fuya, that vixen, to be involved.
The imperial guard who went to report bowed to Consort Liang and said, "Your subordinate just went in to report. His Majesty said that even if the sky were to fall, no one is allowed to enter Chengqian Palace without permission. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Xuanyuan Peng's two replies were a slap in the face to Consort Liang. Especially in front of so many people, and even more embarrassing was the presence of Su Huiyan and Bai Fuya. The Emperor showed absolutely no regard for her dignity.
Consort Liang's face darkened, and she remained silent.
Zong Jiu coldly swept his gaze over the few people who had already barged into the palace: "His Majesty has important matters to discuss and will not receive guests today. Please return."
Before Su Huiyan and the others could speak, Zong Jiu gestured to the Imperial Guards.
With Zong Jiu backing them up, the Imperial Guards were no longer afraid and stepped forward to block Su Huiyan and the others, saying, "Please."
With Zong Jiu stepping in, Su Huiyan finally dared not cause any more trouble, but she was still unwilling to just leave like that: "I really have important matters to discuss with the Emperor. What does Your Majesty want with Prince Ming, the Commander of the Three Armies, and General Cao? What does Your Majesty intend to do?"
Su Huiyan dared not openly mention the matter of making a will, but she was unwilling to leave it unasked.
Consort Liang, Xuan Yuan Yu, Xuan Yuan Duo, and Xuan Yuan Zhi all turned to look at Zong Jiu, waiting for his answer.
How could Zong Jiu possibly answer Su Huiyan's question? He said coldly and expressionlessly, "I have nothing to say. If you all do not leave Chengqian Palace, then don't blame this old servant for being ruthless!"
As soon as Zong Jiu said this, the Imperial Guards closed in again.
Su Huiyan and Liang Fei had no choice but to retreat again and again.
Since the emperor had not yet passed away, they naturally dared not cause trouble in Chengqian Palace, let alone confront the Imperial Guards head-on.
If we were to actually fight the Imperial Guards, it would be no different from treason.
Driven away by the Imperial Guards, Su Huiyan, Consort Liang, and the others were once again stopped outside Chengqian Palace.
Zong Jiu then looked at Bai Shi and said, "Please, Your Highness, leave as well."
"Alright." Madam Bai said nothing, only glancing at Su Xuening who had just come out of the side hall.
Su Xuening had just heard the noise outside again, so she couldn't sit still any longer and went out to see what was going on. Sure enough, she saw Su Huiyan again.
Only Su Huiyan would do something like this, throwing a tantrum.
"Mother," Su Xuening stepped down the stairs and walked to Bai Shi's side, "Should we go back?"
"Let's go out first." Since the final result wasn't out yet, Bai Shi didn't want to go back, so she took Su Xuening with her and went out together.
When the people outside saw Bai Shi and Su Xuening come out together, they immediately harbored their own ulterior motives.
Su Huiyan couldn't help but sneer, "What? Even with your seductive skills, you couldn't stay in the main hall?"
Bai Shi simply wouldn't bother with such rudeness.
Bai's haughty and contemptuous attitude once again made Su Huiyan feel ashamed, instantly enraging her: "Bai Fuya, how dare you ignore me when I'm speaking to you!"
Bai didn't even glance at Su Huiyan, only pretending to look around: "Is anyone talking here? I only hear dogs barking!"
Those around him immediately began to suppress their laughter upon hearing this.
"Bai Fuya!" Su Huiyan was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Bai Fuya across the face.
Su Xuening was startled and instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but saw Bai Shi grab Su Huiyan's arm domineeringly and hold it tightly: "I advise you to use your brain when you speak and act. This is Chengqian Palace. The Emperor is still alive. Who gave you the right to be so arrogant here, Su Huiyan!"
Su Huiyan was in pain from Bai Shi's grip and tried to shake off Bai Shi's hand, but she couldn't shake it off at all.
Only when Xuan Yuan Yu stepped forward did Madam Bai finally release Su Hui Yan, and once again coldly warned, "If you want to die, then keep making trouble!"
Su Huiyan blushed crimson with humiliation at Bai's hands; she truly wished she could strangle Bai to death. But she certainly didn't dare cause a scene in Chengqian Palace!
Consort Liang watched them put on this show in silence. Once Su Huiyan had calmed down, she stepped forward and smiled at Madam Bai, "May I ask, sister, does His Majesty have some important matter to discuss with Prince Ming, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, and General Cao?"
Consort Liang's attempt to ingratiate herself was completely ignored by Lady Bai, who coldly replied, "Consort Liang has mistaken me for someone else. I am the only daughter of the legitimate wife in my family, and I have no older or younger sisters. As for why His Majesty invited them here, if Consort Liang really wants to know, she can go in and ask His Majesty!"
Bai's merciless words made Consort Liang lose face, but she had no energy to refute her.
Now all she cares about is what the Emperor has summoned these people for.
Should I make a will?
If a throne is to be established, then who does the emperor prefer to sit on it?
