He knew the empress was always a bit dim-witted, but he never imagined she could be this dim-witted!
"What, did I say something wrong? That is this lady, who is not content with her home, has an affair, seduces the emperor, and is a femme fatale..." Xue Li kicked Dong E Wan Yue again.
Emperor Shunzhi was heartbroken, holding the person as if he were a precious treasure.
"Shut up!" Shunzhi wanted nothing more than to kill Xue Li at this moment.
He didn't notice the ruthlessness in Ao Bai's eyes.
The court officials, guards, concubines, and women all knelt on the ground.
"All of you, step back!" Shunzhi looked at the crowd with a deep gaze.
No one dared to raise their heads and retreated.
However, the ministers who had walked away couldn't help but glance at the women behind them.
His wife wasn't among his hundred expectations.
Several elderly wives couldn't help but feel annoyed when they saw those expectant old faces.
There was no way around it; the men, who usually favored their concubines, were so happy to welcome their wives for the first time.
But after the initial joy, tensions arose between them.
After all, there are only a few familiar faces.
Therefore, the infamy of Emperor Shunzhi taking his minister's wife spread far and wide.
Emperor Shunzhi carefully settled Dong'e Wanyue.
Sherry, however, was pretending to cry while clutching a handkerchief.
"Waaaaah, the emperor favors another man's concubine and destroys his own wife, waaaaah..."
"Yeah, you don't have to shower me with affection, but you have to put all your effort into me! Damn it, you filthy thing!"
Emperor Shunzhi listened dumbfounded as the Empress verbally berated him, while inwardly cursing him incessantly.
He stormed out in anger.
"Your Majesty, you should know what to say and what not to say!" He thought she was gone, and he hadn't even settled accounts with her yet.
"Does the Emperor even know what he should and shouldn't do? Then Mother Empress will say I didn't supervise you properly! Waaah... My man ran off with another woman, and I can't even cry... Waaah..."
"You're no better. You pretend to love her so much, but you handle things so undignifiedly. Do you have a grudge against her or her husband?"
Sherry clutched her handkerchief and sobbed. The guards around her broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, keeping their heads down and trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.
The Empress is terrifying...
When Shunzhi heard Xue Li sobbing, he felt like his scalp was about to explode.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard Sherry's inner thoughts again.
I choked on my breath, feeling incredibly uncomfortable, unable to breathe properly.
"You, you, you get back to your Kunning Palace!"
Emperor Shunzhi was so angry that his fingers trembled.
He kept reminding himself not to get angry.
He gets angry with her, and it makes him act like he's gone crazy.
But this is just too infuriating...
"No, if you don't come back to Kunning Palace with me today, then I'm not leaving." Xue Li raised her head, determined not to listen to reason, and continued to speak while meeting Shunzhi's resentful gaze, "At worst, I'll sleep here too! I'll also see what kind of beauty has bewitched the Emperor to the point of losing his mind!"
Upon hearing what Sherry said, not only Shunzhi, but also Aobai and Wu Liangfu looked incredulous.
Is this how a normal person thinks?!
Sherry became increasingly pleased with herself, and her gaze towards Shunzhi suddenly changed.
Shunzhi knew it all too well: "You, you, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Doesn't the Emperor like it? You're not happy with two beauties serving you?!"
Sherry immediately misunderstood.
"When the time comes, I'll make sure your chrysanthemums burst all over the mountain!"
As the pear swayed in the breeze, Emperor Shunzhi frowned slightly.
He had a gut feeling that the empress wouldn't say anything nice.
But the Empress Dowager arrived while they were arguing.
Shunzhi's expression changed instantly!
Sherry, clutching her handkerchief, ran toward the Empress Dowager.
"Empress Mother, the Emperor won't sleep with me, he's with some wild woman instead, sob sob sob!"
Sumalagu: ⊙▽⊙
Empress Dowager: ⊙▽⊙
"I'm left alone in my room during the Lunar New Year, sob sob sob..."
Shunzhi: What a fool!
The Empress Dowager, who had been wearing a solemn expression, became distorted upon hearing Shirley's words.
"Empress, you should read more books in your spare time. Go back now!" The Empress Dowager's chest heaved for a long time as she tried to control her emotions.
“Oh, Your Majesty—” Shirley was very obedient at this moment.
"I have important matters to discuss with the Emperor! You should return to the palace!" The Empress Dowager had just removed her hairpins and taken a bath when she received the news and rushed over in a hurry.
She was also angry at the Empress's lack of common sense.
But there's no time to deal with the Empress right now.
After all, that concubine is still in the palace!
No sooner had Sherry left than the Empress Dowager slapped Shunzhi across the face.
The force was estimated to be great, and four red marks appeared on Shunzhi's fair face in an instant.
"I am so disappointed in you!" The Empress Dowager held back her anger, but still trembled with rage. "Of all the women in the world, why did it have to be a minister's wife?! Guards, drag that lowly maid out here!"
Sumalagu hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the temple gate.
Shunzhi blocked it directly!
"My son and she are deeply in love! I beg Your Majesty to grant them my wish!"
Perhaps it was this overwhelming feeling of being at odds with everyone that was so intense.
At that moment, Emperor Shunzhi felt that he loved Dong E Wanyue to the extreme.
"She has a husband!"
“It’s fine if you don’t have it!” A murderous glint flashed in Shunzhi’s eyes.
The Empress Dowager was stunned by his expression, as if she had remembered something.
Su Ma La Gu anxiously supported the Empress Dowager, saying, "Princess, don't worry, Princess, don't worry!"
The Empress Dowager felt a little dizzy at that moment, and tried her best to stand up straight and stare at Shunzhi.
Shunzhi noticed the complexity and disappointment in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
He was just used to it, used to resisting the control of his mother, the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager smiled and walked past him directly into the main hall.
She just wanted to see what kind of seductive and bewitching thing this was!
Emperor Shunzhi tried to block her way again, but the Empress Dowager walked forward without changing her expression.
"Your Majesty, have you thought this through? Don't force me to kill her!" The Empress Dowager stared at him coldly.
Emperor Shunzhi was furious, feeling both frustrated and resentful.
He could not see, or rather, deliberately ignored, the vulnerability and sadness in his mother's eyes.
He firmly believed that the Empress Dowager was his enemy!
But in that moment of hesitation, the Empress Dowager went inside!
Emperor Shunzhi, feeling uneasy, followed her in, fearing that the Empress Dowager might do something to Dong'e Wanyue.
He rushed forward and hugged the person tightly!
The Empress Dowager already had a preconceived notion that this woman was ambitious and restless.
At that moment, the couple seemed like star-crossed lovers, and she was the big stick.
No wonder the Empress was not calm!
In other words, the Empress's simple and brutal methods were effective in dealing with this kind of person.
"What, does this lady have the means to seduce the Emperor, but lack the courage to face me directly?" The Empress Dowager's voice was full of authority, and Dong'e Wanyue knelt down tremblingly.
"Empress Mother!" Emperor Shunzhi felt a pang of heartache looking at Dong'e Wanyue's frail appearance.
"Get out, I need to have a word with this lady!" the Empress Dowager said coldly. Shunzhi hesitated for a moment before leaving.
"My son can't live without her!" Shunzhi added as he walked out, still somewhat uneasy.
So he didn't see the coldness in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
