"You don't even behave politely when meeting me and the Emperor. If you become arrogant due to my favor, I will send some maids to teach you the rules again."
Jiang Jiang was about to stand up and salute when Fu Yao held his shoulders. The young emperor turned around, frowning. The empress dowager suddenly shut up, "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."
Fu Yao's voice was terribly soft. "Have you forgotten whose palace this is?"
He spoke the honorific, yet it was filled with threats. Just the sight of his eyes, which resembled the late emperor's, was enough to strike fear into the Queen Mother's heart.
The Queen Mother felt both hatred and joy in her heart. She hated Fu Yao for being so cruel and ruthless, completely disregarding the Jiang family's support for the emperor in the past. Now the Jiang family was in an awkward situation in the court, and had reached a point where no one could support them.
As for Xi...
A gleam of brilliance flashed across the empress dowager's well-maintained face, and she looked with a somewhat cloudy look at Jiang Jiang, who was protected by Fu Yao behind her.
Even though the Queen Mother had been in the deep palace for decades, she had to admit Jiang Jiang's beauty, but she lived in a different room from her.
If I had known the Emperor was so moved, I should have let her niece come...
While the Empress Dowager was lost in thought, a young eunuch hurried in from outside and whispered something to the Emperor. Fu Yao glanced at Jiang Jiang and said, "I have to go out for a while. I have some matters to deal with in the court."
He also ordered the palace maids beside him to serve his master.
After watching Fu Yao leave, the Queen Mother suddenly said, "Everyone, please leave. I have something to tell your young master."
Jiang Jiang felt the palace maids around her looking at her with a hint of worry and hesitation.
Her fingertips touched the dagger in her sleeve. The gem inlaid on the hilt was cold, giving her enough confidence.
Seeing Jiang Jiang nod and the palace maids leave one after another, the empress dowager nodded with a little satisfaction, and glanced at her niece with a harsh look.
Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes. The Queen Mother looked at her as if she was looking at a commodity whose value had increased, which made her feel a little sick.
"Why did the Empress Dowager send someone to bring the Emperor away?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Jiang felt that the Queen Mother's eyes became sharper, "She is quite smart."
Jiang Jiang: “…” No, the eunuchs in front of the emperor all knew that the emperor had a headache, and they were always steady. How could they barge in and talk so close to him?
She was a little speechless.
So if you don’t agree with what I say, there’s no point in saying anything.
After just a few words with the Queen Mother, Jiang Jiang felt a little tired. He wanted to go back and lie down like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, but he remembered that the Queen Mother was still in front of him, so he could only sit and sit uncomfortably.
"I came here this time to tell you something..."
Jiang Jiang nodded, looked at her, took a sip of tea, and waited for her to say the next sentence.
"He imprisoned you here. Do you hate him?"
Separated by a wall.
Fu Yao's fingers hanging at his sides suddenly clenched.
His expression was normal, his jade-like face looked calm, but Sun Jinlu caught a glimpse of it—
The emperor is shaking.
He is scared.
