She curled her lips and glanced at Concubine Li coldly.
What a pity, this woman has to be disappointed.
She didn't want to get pregnant with Feng Changye's child to consolidate his favor. Even if the whole world urged her to get pregnant, she wouldn't be so nervous that she would lose her appetite.
The tea is so delicious and the food is so tasty, why shouldn’t we eat them just because of the tyrant Feng Changye?
Zhu Wuhuan was calm and composed here, but the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the throne suddenly changed color when she heard it!
She was so shocked that she couldn't hold the teacup steady, and it fell to the ground with a bang!
She looked at Zhu Wuhuan in disbelief!
Did the emperor favor this woman last night?
Why didn't she receive any news?
If this is true, it is so hateful!
This woman made her faint from anger. Not only did the emperor not punish this woman by making her kneel beside her bed to take care of her, he actually favored this woman!
While the old lady was lying in bed feeling dizzy and uncomfortable all over, these two people were so sweet and affectionate that no one knew what shameful things they were doing!
That’s too much!
Who among them takes her, an old lady, seriously?
When the Empress Dowager stared at Zhu Wuhuan with a serious look, the other concubines in the hall were silent, looking thoughtfully at the broken teacup at the Empress Dowager's feet.
They looked at Zhu Wuhuan meaningfully.
It seems that the Queen Mother dislikes this Queen even more...
That's great.
Zhu Wuhuan, who was being stared at by everyone, stood there calmly, neither panicked nor nervous.
"I, your humble servant, lead all my sisters to pay my respects to the Queen Mother—"
She bowed slightly and saluted the Queen Mother.
Today she brought her concubines to pay her respects. Paying respects just means asking how the old lady is doing, and there is no need to kowtow or perform any formal ceremony.
Now she was leading everyone in the salute. She didn't believe that the Queen Mother would ask everyone else to stand up but still asked her to keep saluting.
But the Queen Mother can really do it.
"Everyone please take a seat, Queen. I have something to tell you."
The Empress Dowager calmly signaled everyone else to move aside and not disturb her war with Zhu Wuhuan.
Zhu Wuhuan raised an eyebrow.
Oh, do you really intend to let her maintain this difficult posture of saluting?
She doesn't.
She stood up slowly, pretending to be respectful, and looked at the Empress Dowager.
"I respectfully listen to your mother's instructions."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth when she saw her stand up straight.
But after seeing Zhu Wuhuan being even more outrageous yesterday, the Empress Dowager tried to be patient and didn't dwell on this trivial matter.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly——
She immediately had a better idea to prevent this arrogant woman from leaving Shoukang Palace alive today!
"Queen, I want to ask you, did the Emperor really favor you last night?"
The Queen Mother asked calmly.
Zhu Wuhuan's eyes rolled around.
Logically, she should just roll up her sleeves and tell everyone with a smile, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm still a virgin!
Guaranteed to make everyone's jaw drop.
But she wanted to see what the old witch, the Queen Mother, was going to do.
So she didn't roll up her sleeves immediately.
Her cheeks flushed as she said shyly, "Last night...I slept on the dragon bed with the Emperor."
Her shy look made the other concubines jealous and they secretly tightened their handkerchiefs, and also made the Empress Dowager hate her even more!
Despicable!
While flirting with Jin'er, he shyly climbed into Ye'er's bed!
How can such a woman be worthy of being the mother of a country!
"Ye'er is so ignorant. How could he favor you, the Queen, at a time like this?"
The Empress Dowager stared at Zhu Wuhuan and sneered.
"Your father, Zhu Huaining, surrendered to the enemy and committed treason. Even though the matter has not yet been fully concluded, the Emperor has shown mercy and delayed the execution of your entire Zhu family. You, the Zhu family, are still guilty!"
"If in a month or two, accurate news arrives from the border that Zhu Huaining has indeed betrayed his country, then your Zhu family will truly be guilty of a thousand deaths!"
"Then how can you, Queen, as a daughter of the Zhu family, be worthy of bearing the Emperor's child?"
"The emperor's offspring must never be born from the womb of a traitor's daughter!"
"My grandson absolutely cannot have a grandfather who betrayed his country and betrayed the enemy!"
After saying the last sentence in a sonorous and powerful voice, the Empress Dowager looked at the old nanny beside her.
"Come here, quickly make a bowl of contraceptive soup and serve it to the Queen!"
The old lady beside her met her gaze and understood instantly.
The old nanny turned around and whispered a few words to a palace maid, then asked the maid to do the job quickly.
Zhu Wuhuan glanced at the old lady.
It's easy to tell with your toes that the contraceptive soup is not just a contraceptive soup, it must contain some other medicinal herbs.
If anything happened to her after she drank the medicine, the Empress Dowager could easily find a scapegoat.
Then she died in vain.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but laugh.
As the mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager did not want this convicted Zhu family girl to conceive an heir to the throne, so it was perfectly legitimate for her to be given contraceptive soup.
Does she have to drink it then?
Not only did she not want to drink, she also wanted to piss off the old witch to death.
So she stood there, looking up and smiling brightly at the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, why bother with so much trouble? If you don't want me, a daughter of the Zhu family, to give birth to the emperor's child, you can just depose me, the empress. Why drink contraceptive soup..."
She said slowly.
"All medicines are poisonous. Contraceptive soup is also very harmful to the body. I value my life very much. I would rather you abolish me and send me home than drink contraceptive soup."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent.
The concubines didn't expect that the Queen would be so confident today. She even dared to challenge the Queen Mother directly and ask her to depose her!
They all looked at her in shock.
Oh my God, is this the aura of being favored by the emperor?
With the emperor's support, you can ignore the empress dowager?
They also want this kind of pride and aura...
While the concubines were clutching their handkerchiefs in resentment, the empress dowager was also blatantly provoked by Zhu Wuhuan, and she felt so angry that her heart was blocked!
I was so angry that I fainted yesterday and I haven’t recovered yet. I’m angry again today. How can I not feel upset?
She covered her heart and stared at Zhu Wuhuan with a dark face!
"Zhu Wuhuan! You really don't take me seriously!"
She slammed the small table beside her, furious!
Zhu Wuhuan smiled innocently, "Mother, your words are too kind. How dare I not take you seriously?"
She said slowly, "I'm not like you, mother. You can look down on the emperor. He just happily favored me last night, and this morning you slapped him in the face in front of everyone in the harem and wanted to feed his queen contraceptive soup... You can act so recklessly because you have someone to rely on—but I can't. Where do I rely on? How dare I be like you, mother, and look down on everyone in the world?"
She smiled and said, "Look, I am very respectful to you."
Her perfunctory smile and the fact that she was too lazy to even salute infuriated the Empress Dowager even more!
This woman actually dared to confront her so blatantly once again!
Once again provoking the mother-son relationship between her and Ye'er!
She said in hatred, "Come here! How dare the Queen contradict me? Capture her for me!"
