"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
Following a shrill cry, everyone present turned to look at the source of the sound.
A group of people were coming from the street.
The Guards led the way.
After the people all made way.
A phoenix-drawn carriage slowly arrived in front of Dengwen Tower, and then the old empress dowager, who was dressed simply but very graceful, slowly walked out of the carriage.
"Long live the Empress Dowager—"
The people present all shouted.
Emperor Wenyuan had already come down from the high platform and personally came to greet her in front of the phoenix sedan chair. "Mother, why didn't you tell me you were back so I could have gone to greet you?"
Empress Dowager Bai's gaze swept over the Shen family members kneeling beside her, especially Old Madam Shen. Her eyes obviously darkened, and finally she was helped out of the carriage by Emperor Wenyuan himself.
"Pufo Temple isn't far from the capital, and the Emperor is busy with government affairs. How could I burden him with more trouble? I didn't let anyone inform him in advance. However, before I entered the city, I seemed to hear someone beating the drum. What big news has happened?"
Emperor Wenyuan was a filial son.
In addition, Dengwengu was a case that attracted much attention from the public, so the Empress Dowager would naturally know about it.
So I prepared to talk about it in person.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure knelt down before Empress Dowager Bai, wailing, "Empress Dowager, please help me. The Yang family is bullying others by fabricating facts and inciting my granddaughter-in-law to come to the court to file a lawsuit against her husband's family..."
When Old Madam Shen was a second-rank imperial official, she had been in and out of the palace and was quite familiar with the old empress dowager.
I knew that the old empress dowager was a kind-hearted person.
I also know that Emperor Wenyuan was a filial son.
Up to this point, Old Madam Shen no longer felt that she had done anything wrong. She also thought that those so-called charges were deliberately fabricated and exaggerated by Yang Zhao in order to take revenge on their Shen family. However, there was no reason in the world for a daughter-in-law to sue her husband's family.
It's totally against moral principles.
She felt that the Queen Mother would definitely understand.
So, Old Madam Shen, as if she had found her true heart, burst into tears and snot in front of Empress Dowager Bai: "Empress Dowager, please make the decision... Just because we refuse to sign the divorce agreement, you are suing my in-laws. This is unreasonable in this world... The Yang family is trying to force our Shen family to death..."
Emperor Wenyuan frowned.
Just as they were about to have Madam Shen dragged away, they heard Empress Dowager Bai say, "Tell your in-laws? Such a thing is even happening?"
When Old Madam Shen heard this, she cried even more miserably, and kept asking Empress Dowager Bai to make the decision...
This made the people present secretly curse Madam Shen for being shameless.
The Yang family members looked even more unhappy.
Yang Huaijin also frowned.
I never expected that the old lady would suddenly come back at this critical moment, and her return was so coincidental!!
Yang Zhao was also a little surprised.
But she was not very anxious, because even if the Queen Mother returned, she could not prevent the demise of the Shen family. She was also unsure of the Queen Mother's attitude and whether it would affect her future plans!
But at this time.
Yang Zhao caught a glimpse of the tall figure standing next to the phoenix sedan chair.
Wearing a black brocade robe.
Ordinary appearance.
But his eyes...are very similar to that of the mysterious Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion Master...
Is it him? !
"Emperor, how about letting me handle the affairs of the harem?" Empress Dowager Bai turned to look at Emperor Wenyuan beside her and asked.
Emperor Wenyuan was indeed very filial.
After hearing what Queen Mother Bai said, he agreed.
After all, Empress Dowager Bai said it was a "matter of the harem", so Emperor Wenyuan had someone bring a chair for Empress Dowager Bai to sit on, and he also sat in the middle seat beside her.
When Mrs. Shen saw it, she was immediately excited.
"Empress Dowager..."
But as soon as she opened her mouth excitedly, a maid came up and slapped her hard in the face with a ruler.
With a snap.
Crisp and powerful.
Old Madam Shen was stunned by the beating. Her mouth felt hot and burning, and it felt like her front teeth were loosened...
