The general manager, who was caught in the middle and was in a difficult situation, made up his mind, closed his eyes, held the whisk tightly in his hand, gritted his teeth, and had already thought about where to be buried after his death.
"The Empress Dowager said that if you don't agree, she will give you the money you gave her to see her..."
"Spread the news that I sneaked in through the dog hole in the general's mansion!" He said this quickly in one breath and closed his eyes.
I feel bitter in my heart, and I will die with regrets.
Perhaps because he was holding a grudge, the chief steward spoke a little loudly, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial study all gasped and almost choked.
Ah, is this something they can hear?! Will the emperor kill them to silence them?
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the pen in Xiao Luochen's hand broke abruptly.
He clenched the pen tightly in his hand, which turned a little blue and purple, showing how strong the force was, as if he regarded the pen in his hand as a woman's neck.
"Let her in!"
Xiao Luochen spoke each word clearly, and the four words came out from between his teeth.
There was a distinctly sinister haze in his dark pupils, his back teeth were clenched, his face was stiff, and his murderous gaze seemed to be piercing with knives.
The chief steward who was not punished immediately left immediately, having escaped with his life saved.
"Yes! Yes!" Ah, I can still live a little longer.
Outside the imperial study.
Suyi supported Shengwu with some trepidation.
"Empress Dowager, what you just said, are you really okay?!"
She was already feeling a little unsteady on her feet.
As Sheng Wu's personal maid who grew up with her, she naturally knew better than anyone whether her master had met with the emperor alone and what kind of relationship they had.
Regardless of whether the emperor might have other feelings, just based on the fact that he crawled through a dog hole, it's impossible!
Sheng Wu lazily adjusted the hair on her forehead, smiled leisurely, and her beautiful eyes curved.
Her eyes were filled with cold and ruthless sternness. "Have you heard that 'three people make a tiger'? The higher the position, the more curious people are. Once some unusual rumor spreads, once more people say it, who will care about the truth? By then, even if Xiao Luochen didn't crawl through the dog hole, it will become true."
That extremely beautiful face exudes a dangerous yet charming charm in the moonlight.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the hidden meaning. She felt that the master who was just arrogant and domineering before was now actually a little scary to her.
Soon, the chief steward came out. When he saw Sheng Wu's face, he slipped and almost fell to his knees in fright.
The chief steward quickly quickened his pace and ran over.
With an apologetic smile, he said, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor wants you to come in."
Sheng Wu smiled beautifully, not knowing what restraint was at all.
"It seems that the chief steward has told the secret to the emperor."
Hearing her calling him "Emperor" all the time, the chief steward became more and more certain that he should stay away from her in the future. He still wanted to live!
The chief steward smiled and said, "Well, the Queen Mother is really a master of foresight."
As he spoke, he walked with Sheng Wu to the door and bent over.
"Her Majesty, please go in quickly. It's very windy outside."
He was really scared. He couldn't afford to offend either of them. He was in a difficult situation!
Seeing this, Sheng Wu raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and stopped teasing the steward.
He walked in with a group of people in a swagger.
There was a side hall in the imperial study where meals were served, so Sheng Wu ordered people to place all the meals on the table in the side hall.
"Put it down and get out."
"Yes!" Su Yi led everyone to retreat.
Xiao Luochen listened to the noise coming from the side hall outside, looked at the memorial in his hand with cold eyes, and said nothing.
But the atmosphere in the main hall was frighteningly gloomy and cold.
Sheng Wu slowly lifted the pearl curtain as if she was entering her own home, walked into the main hall, and continued to give orders to the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally in the imperial study.
"You guys go down too."
"this……"
The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, somewhat unsure of what to do, after all, the emperor was still sitting there.
Seeing them standing there hesitating, Sheng Wu smiled and continued to walk in, bypassing the magnolia and parrot gilded screen.
It caught Xiao Luochen's eyes.
Sheng Wu did not wear her hair in a bun like a concubine this time. Instead, she wore her hair half loose like an unmarried girl, and the other half was pinned with a tortoise-shell hairpin with cloud pattern and pearls. Her fair white earlobes were adorned with blue jade earrings with kingfisher feather and pearls.
She was wearing a long red and golden crabapple flower skirt with a phoenix tail, holding a peony chiffon fan in her hand, and wearing a silver fox fur cloak that covered most of her graceful figure.
It was so beautiful that the light and shadow around it unconsciously dimmed by three points.
"you……"
Xiao Luochen's eyes were slightly stunned, but it was only for a moment, and soon disgust replaced his sharp eyes.
"What are you doing here again!" The voice was extremely cold and harsh as soon as it came out.
Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows and smiled ostentatiously.
"I know that the prince is working hard reviewing memorials late at night, and even the concubines have no time to summon him. I have specially prepared some midnight snacks to comfort the prince."
Oh, she personally ordered it to be made, so it can be considered as prepared by her personally.
"Really? That's really hard work, Mother!"
Xiao Luochen was still a little angry when he heard her calling him "Prince". He snorted coldly and deliberately emphasized the word "Queen Mother".
He didn't believe that this woman would really be kind enough to cook.
Xiao Luochen had already changed the pen in his hand. As for the broken one, he quickly put it into the pen holder and asked someone to deal with it later.
If this woman saw this, she would be so proud that she would die!
Sheng Wu walked forward, looked at the palace maids around her who had not yet left, and smiled faintly.
"It seems that the emperor has cultivated a group of obedient people." After a pause, he continued to smile, "However, if I accidentally reveal the emperor's embarrassing things during a chat later and outsiders hear it, the emperor should not blame them."
Tsk, see, we gave you the chance to live, but you didn’t cherish it.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the palace maids and eunuchs who had stayed in the palace for many years and knew the ways of survival well became panicked instantly, fearing that they would hear something they shouldn't hear, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Luochen.
But when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his head in confusion.
Hearing this, Xiao Luochen recognized her threat, which was similar to "drilling a dog hole". He held the brush tightly in his hand. This time, he didn't want to lose face in front of this vicious woman. He suppressed his strength and simply threw the brush away.
"All of you get out!" His voice couldn't be colder.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The palace maids breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated away from the Shura field.
In an instant, Sheng Wu and Xiao Luochen were the only ones left in the main hall.
"My prince, I have cooked the meal myself. Would you like to come to the side hall and have some?"
Sheng Wu held a fan in one hand, swaying it slightly with a chuckle, completely unaware of Xiao Luochen's sinister and ugly gaze.
Xiao Luochen didn't want to stay with this woman any longer, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Tsk, since the prince is so busy, I won't disturb him."
Sheng Wu refused to do so. Seeing that he was so tactless, she lazily turned sideways, lowered her head slightly, and fiddled with the cardamom on her fingertips.
He walked slowly, his steps wobbling. "I'm sure the people of the world are very interested in the current emperor's romantic affairs. After all, they came from the mouth of someone involved..."
