However, His Highness's words this time were indeed a bit too much, and he can't blame anyone else.
But Eunuch Cao no longer wanted things to be the same as before. If things continued like this, what would become of them?
This is simply a ridiculous joke. He already has the Emperor and Consort Lan under his control, so why would he be afraid of an Empress?
He sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Your Majesty the Empress may not know, but His Majesty is currently unwell and naturally needs to rest properly."
"Even if you are the Empress, we must still prioritize the Emperor."
The Empress clearly hadn't expected that this Eunuch Cao would be so audacious.
Even after saying those things, I found myself contradicting myself.
Enraged, he threw the knife in his hand to the ground.
He shot her a sharp glare: "You? You really have some nerve!"
"Has Eunuch Cao forgotten that you are nothing but a castrated servant? What right do you have to speak to your masters like this?"
"Guards! Arrest Eunuch Cao!"
"And Consort Lan, arrest them all too! Today I'm going to show them who their master is!"
...
Zhou Zhizhi stayed in her room and felt that Xiao Xiyou's concerns were very reasonable.
So I just had the system switch him to a split-screen mode.
She could see everything that was happening inside the palace very clearly from her bed.
Some even found it unbelievable; this empress was simply too fierce.
You must know that the Emperor can't even take care of his own safety right now, and Eunuch Cao is definitely no good either.
When Zhou Zhizhi saw this scene, she leaned back, her face filled with disbelief.
No wonder Xiao Xiyou was so worried and felt that this matter was unreliable.
It turns out that he already knew the character of everyone in the palace.
But they definitely can't get involved in what's happening tonight; the Empress has gone completely berserk.
This eunuch Cao has long since become neither a servant nor a master.
If you get involved further, you'll definitely suffer a lot later.
This matter could not be told to the Second Prince, since he knew nothing about it.
If they find out, they'll start keeping things from me even more carefully in the future.
The Empress was still insane, but Eunuch Cao had already ordered some men to tie her up and take her to her palace.
Such an overstepping of authority is something that ordinary people would never dare to do, not even the former Eunuch Cao.
But things are different now. He has now taken control of the Emperor, and after all, he is the Grand Supervisor of the Eastern Depot.
The Empress didn't even realize what was happening until she was sitting in her own palace, when she became so angry that she seemed to be on the verge of madness.
Qiuyue kept patting the Empress's back to help her catch her breath, afraid that the Empress would faint from anger.
“Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao is on the Emperor’s side. You were indeed reckless today.”
"The Emperor can't see anyone right now except Eunuch Cao, so there's no need for us to get angry with him."
Qiu Yue felt that this Eunuch Cao had indeed become a bit arrogant lately.
He was extremely arrogant in both his speech and actions within the palace.
So there must be some things they don't know.
Therefore, it's impossible to alert the enemy. The Empress did act somewhat impulsively today.
The empress leaned weakly against her couch, her forehead adorned with a headband inlaid with a large red jade stone.
"Eunuch Cao has already dared to ride roughshod over me. Am I supposed to just keep putting up with this?"
"Qiuyue, whose maid are you?"
The Empress was furious whenever she mentioned Eunuch Cao.
At that moment, Yuebai appeared at the door.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has returned!"
The Empress was furious just now, but her anger has long since dissipated.
"Quickly! Help me up!"
She was about to get out of bed when the Third Prince walked in through the door.
His face was pale, and his expression was slightly gloomy.
"Son, what's wrong with you?"
"Quickly summon the imperial physician!"
She called out to Qiuyue beside her, and they both ran out quickly.
Xiao Nan's lips were deathly pale, without a trace of blood, as if he had suffered a great injury.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
"But Mother did go too far today. No matter what, you shouldn't have done those things."
The empress knew her son's temperament and was a shrewd strategist.
She was just so anxious. How could she bear to see her son being humiliated like that by the son of a concubine?
What are you saying?
"I'm so worried that you've made a mistake, haven't you?"
"Look at your hands and arms, look what they've become from being soaked!"
She became increasingly irrational as she spoke, and even considered going to teach the Imperial Concubine a lesson again.
However, the Third Prince stopped them; their current situation was one where the bigger the tree, the more the wind would blow against it.
If the emperor doesn't wake up, they might have no support, and the palace is starting to fall into chaos.
Now is the time for everyone to indulge in self-gratification, and they are unwilling to stand out.
The Empress wanted to say something more, but Xiao Nan grabbed her wrist tightly.
Even the pink color became very serious, as if something terribly wrong had happened.
The Empress naturally understood her son; he would never look at her like that unless absolutely necessary.
"You all go out first."
After she coldly finished speaking, all the maids serving in the room left.
"Wutong, keep an eye on people and don't let anyone get close."
Wutong, who was also serving by her side, bowed and left after hearing these words.
The Queen helped her son up and sat him on the edge of the bed. It was almost winter, and there was a charcoal stove burning in the room.
"What exactly happened?"
"You've all been keeping this from me, haven't you?"
They don't know whether the emperor is alive or dead, and they've never even seen him. The news is just from people in the emperor's palace.
Therefore, everyone in the palace is now in a state of panic, and no one dares to speak recklessly, for fear of causing trouble for themselves.
Xiao Nan Gua naturally had no intention of hiding his mother's words any longer.
After all, things have developed to this point, and no one can control the situation.
"Mother, Father may really be in trouble, so we must be careful to prevent a palace coup from involving us as well."
