Jia Yueling's face froze, her fingers clenched, her fingertips pinching her palms tightly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. Over the past year, she had exhausted all her energy to please this old man, thinking that there was some affection between them, but she didn't expect that she just mentioned that she was ruthless, but this old man turned his face against her!
If it's true, it's not her biological child, then it's useless for her to put in any more effort!
Jia Yueling suppressed her dissatisfaction, raised her little face, and shed pitiful tears, "Empress Dowager, Yueling didn't mean that. It's just that my father wanted to marry me to that barbaric and rude General Mu. Yueling was panicked for a moment, so she wanted to seek your protection."
"Yue Ling doesn't want to marry General Mu! General Mu is already thirty-five, and Yue Ling is only seventeen. He could be Yue Ling's father! What's more, General Mu comes from a bandit family. He's a reckless man with no ambition. How could Yue Ling marry such a man?"
"What's more, a year ago, Yueling decided on Your Majesty the first time she saw her. Queen Mother, please give Yueling a chance. Yueling wants to enter the palace and become Your Majesty's woman."
The Queen Mother's expression turned even uglier. Hearing Jia Yueling describe her brother like this, a surge of anger suddenly rose in her chest: "What's wrong with Mu Yingchuan? He's only thirty-five this year, so why don't you say that he was a commoner who came from a bandit family and relied on himself to become a famous general in the court?!"
Jia Yueling was shocked and racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Empress Dowager Bai was so protective of such a reckless man.
Even after leaving the palace and arriving at the Duke of Rong's Mansion, Jia Yueling still looked somewhat distracted. She sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her handkerchief tightly, her face ashen.
"Miss, are you okay?" Cui Liu, Jia Yueling's personal maid, asked worriedly.
"Cui Liu, tell me, why is this happening?" Jia Yueling bit the soft flesh inside her lip. According to her assumption, the Queen Mother wanted her to enter the palace. With the support of the Duke of Rong's Mansion, she would at least be a concubine.
But, but she was driven out by the Queen Mother!
Jia Yueling burst into tears in disbelief.
At this time, a maid named Chunhong came in quickly and said in a low voice: "Miss, I have found out that the woman His Majesty brought here today is the princess of Jiang Kingdom."
"What?" Jia Yueling frowned. "Shouldn't a princess of a foreign country be a military prostitute? Your Majesty is truly confused!"
Chunhong glanced at Jia Yueling cautiously: "Miss, that princess of the Yi Kingdom is extremely beautiful. I believe Your Majesty was also fascinated by her for a while, so..."
Jia Yueling narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous look in her eyes: "Stunning beauty?"
Chunhong swallowed nervously, and then her jaw was pinched by Jia Yueling. Her face turned pale instantly and she looked into Jia Yueling's vicious eyes.
"So tell me, who's prettier, this lady or that bitch?"
Chunhong thought of that quick glance, her heart skipped a beat, and she said quickly, "Young lady, you are beautiful. In terms of looks, that princess from another country is not even worthy of carrying your shoes!"
A sinister chuckle escaped from Jia Yueling's throat. She pinched Chunhong's jaw with her fingers, and her long fingertips pierced into her flesh, causing blood to drip down.
Chunhong was trembling with pain, but she didn't even dare to beg for mercy. She looked at Jia Yueling with fear and terror.
"How dare you compare me to that bitch from another country, Chunhong, you're so bold!" Jia Yueling let go of Chunhong, glaring at her with a cold expression, and shouted sternly, "Come here, send Chunhong to Yihong Courtyard."
Yihongyuan was the largest brothel in the capital, and most of the maids sent there were tortured to death.
"No! Miss, Miss, please don't, please..." Chunhong cried and begged for mercy, but was suddenly covered with her mouth by the guards guarding outside the door and dragged away.
Cui Liu and the other maids looked at each other and lowered their heads, fearing that they would offend Jia Yueling.
Jia Yueling closed her eyes slightly, her heart in turmoil. Now that she had lost the Queen Mother's support, how could she possibly become His Majesty's woman? She wanted to enter the palace, not become a general's wife!
After a long moment, she sighed softly, "Cui Liu, tell me, what should I do?"
Cui Liu licked her lips nervously, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She stepped forward and suggested, "Miss, there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow. I'm sure that bitch will be there."
"I have a strong aphrodisiac powder from the folk. Once you take it, no matter how determined you are, you will become confused and infatuated. If that bitch behaves ugly at the palace banquet, Your Majesty will definitely be disgusted!" Cui Liu curled her lips into a sneer.
"You actually have such a good idea!" Jia Yueling's eyebrows and eyes lit up instantly, and she hummed with satisfaction: "Then this matter will be handled by you, Cui Liu, you must not let me down."
Cui Liu clenched her fingers and nodded vigorously.
Jia Yueling's annoyance was swept away, and a look of disdain and arrogance appeared on her exquisitely dressed little face. She casually touched the expensive and gorgeous red hairpin on her head, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.
