Zhang Xu, who was over thirty years old, actually felt such a strong sense of oppression from a twelve-year-old child. He dared not make a move because he was suddenly unsure of how strong this child really was and whether he could kill him in one fell swoop.
But Zhuo Yun was not a martial artist, so she couldn't understand it. Therefore, she angrily said, "Zhang Xu, why aren't you making a move?"
This was the first time Zhang Xu had ever heard a woman be so talkative, but he still didn't answer. He was staring intently at the young man in front of him, waiting for an opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop.
The dignified and elegant Empress arrived at this time.
Behind her was a long line of palace servants, her entourage far surpassing that of Consort Yun. Dressed in formal attire, she was breathtakingly beautiful, and her exquisite makeup amplified her charm to the maximum.
Rong Tingxue smiled, her eyes shining brightly. "Isn't this Consort Yun and Commander Zhang? What are you both doing here?"
Turning her head again, she saw Xianmo and exclaimed, seemingly surprised, "This child must be the First Prince. Could it be... that Consort Yun feels she owes the First Prince something, so she wants to take him back to the palace today to take good care of him?"
Zhuo Yun's face stiffened. She didn't understand whether Rong Tingxue really didn't see the many imperial guards behind her or pretended not to see them. All she knew was that deliberately bringing up the matter of her throwing Xianmo into the cold palace in front of so many people was to embarrass her.
"This humble official pays respects to Your Majesty the Empress." Zhang Xu put aside his secret rivalry with Xian Mo and cleverly bowed to the Empress.
However, the Empress did not tell him to rise, so he could only remain bowed.
"Ah Mo, Her Majesty the Empress is the savior I found. She is a good person."
Hearing the voice he hadn't heard in a long time, Xianmo's previously unapproachable aura softened. He twitched his fingers at his side, and then he felt his hand being enveloped in a cool sensation, which felt very comfortable.
Feng Guang held his hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
The corners of his lips turned up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Over there, the drama between the women continues.
Zhuo Yun gave a smirk, "Isn't the Empress always staying in Fengyi Palace? Why is she out today?"
"Having stayed in Fengyi Palace for so long, I've forgotten what the other palaces look like. That's why I was thinking of going to see Consort Yun's Huimeng Palace."
If we were to pinpoint the greatest pain in Consort Yun's heart, it would undoubtedly be the position of Empress. As a princess of the previous dynasty, she was destined never to sit on the throne of Empress. Even if she were a Consort, what difference would it make? In an ordinary family, she would simply be a concubine.
Even if His Majesty doesn't like Rong Tingxue, Rong Tingxue is still His Majesty's legal wife. She can hold the Phoenix Seal and live in the Phoenix Palace, while Zhuo Yun has none of those things.
Zhuo Yun has always been one to say what she thinks. She doesn't like beating around the bush, so she said directly, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I sought out Xian Mo today simply because he bullied my Long'er."
As for Xiao Gaozi's matter, who's worried about it?
Rong Tingxue shifted her gaze and glanced at Fengguang beside Xianmo.
Feng Guang hurriedly said, "That's not how it happened. It was Xianlong who was frightened to tears by his nanny Guo. It has nothing to do with our kind-hearted Amo."
Rong Tingxue smiled, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Zhuo Yun. "She's just a child, don't take it seriously. Why should someone your age bother getting involved?"
