puff--
Her identity certificate shattered, and Consort Song was also sent flying by Miao Mama's blow. She flew through the air, spitting blood from her mouth. Such a scene was quite beautiful.
Seeing this unexpected turn of events, Rong Xi was also dumbfounded.
She knew that Consort Song had a fiery temper, but she never imagined that Consort Song would actually explode on the spot and dare to fight Guarjia to the death.
Guarjia, she is now the Empress.
With the Qing Dynasty's national fortune bestowed upon her, even if Consort Song's cultivation level were lower than that of the Guarjia clan, or even if it were higher, her actions would still not be able to cause the Guarjia clan any harm.
However, Consort Song's actions gave others a handle to use against her.
"Assassinating the Empress is a crime equivalent to treason!"
"Song family, prepare to die!"
Granny Miao struck Song Consort Song away with a palm strike, but she did not stop there. Instead, she followed up with a sharp magic weapon, a long knife, and slashed down at Song Consort Song.
Miao Mama, who already harbored many grievances against Consort Song, went all out this time, clearly intending to kill Consort Song on the spot.
"Granny Miao!"
Guarjia, recovering from the shock of being assassinated by Consort Song, hurriedly shouted a rebuke.
"Quick Helper!"
However, having finally gotten this opportunity, how could Granny Miao possibly miss it?
She swung her sword down, but upon hearing Guarjia's rebuke, she only hesitated for a moment before forcibly withdrawing her attack, feigning an inability to stop in time and risking a backlash.
As a result, half of the terrifying blade energy released by Granny Miao's strike still landed on Consort Song. Similarly, Granny Miao herself also suffered a significant portion of the backlash.
puff--
Granny Miao landed on the ground and vomited blood.
Consort Song fainted, her body covered in countless wounds and dripping with blood.
"Help!"
Guarjia stepped forward quickly.
Although she was also annoyed by Consort Song's lack of pragmatism, if Consort Song really died here, it would definitely not be a good thing for her either.
Even if the Crown Prince doesn't cause her trouble now, if he wants to find fault with her in the future, today's events will be her nightmare.
One Guiyi Pill!
Although Guarjia was somewhat heartbroken, she had no choice but to use it.
Guiyi Dan can save a person's life as long as they have a breath left.
However, Consort Song was indeed saved, but all her cultivation was destroyed. Living was worse than being dead.
"Granny Miao!"
After Consort Song was led away, Lady Guarjia's gaze fell upon Granny Miao. Granny Miao was her guardian nanny, who had been with her for a long time and had helped her resolve many troubles. But now, Granny Miao's actions were clearly a trap for her.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Granny Miao knelt down decisively, without offering any explanation.
Her actions, in fact, cannot withstand scrutiny. It's just that at the time, she was filled with murderous intent and couldn't control herself. When she landed after finishing her attack and spat out a mouthful of blood, while there was certainly an element of acting involved, her inner resentment was also present.
"Granny Miao, you have been by my side since I was a very weak woman. How have I treated you all these years? And why are you disobeying my orders again and again today?"
"Don't tell me you really didn't have time to stop!"
"My eyes are not blind!"
Lady Guarjia was now filled with rage. She wanted nothing more than to punish Granny Miao, but Granny Miao was her guardian nanny, and she owed her too much.
"This old servant deserves to die! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Granny Miao knelt on the ground, sincerely admitting her mistake.
She did indeed have ulterior motives in attacking Consort Song. If she were an ordinary person, she would naturally have refrained from doing so. However, she was a cultivator. If her thoughts were not clear, not only would her cultivation not improve, but she might also be entangled by inner demons, and her Dao heart might collapse at any moment, leading to her death.
Guarjia looked down at Granny Miao, remaining silent for a long time.
She was prepared to protect Granny Miao, because Granny Miao was her guardian nanny, dependent on her for survival. Her well-being was crucial to Granny Miao's well-being. Similarly, the stronger Granny Miao, as her guardian nanny, the more secure her own safety would be.
"This will not be allowed to happen again!"
After a long pause, Guarjia slowly spoke, deciding to take the blame for Granny Miao.
While Consort Song was indeed a pawn she would use, she was far inferior to Granny Miao.
"This old servant thanks Your Majesty the Empress for your grace."
Granny Miao breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Lady Guarjia with utmost sincerity.
...
Rong Xi was all smiles as she watched things unfold.
She was not a saintly saint; she showed no mercy to her enemies. Consort Song was her adversary, as was Consort Li. And of course, the current Empress, of the Guarjia clan, was no different.
Seeing her rivals hurting each other, what could Rong Xi say? Naturally, she applauded and cheered.
Guarjia's actions regarding Consort Song were clearly unfair, given her connection to Granny Miao. This, however, is good news for Rong Xi; it could be used as a trump card if necessary.
However, Rong Xi felt it was unnecessary.
In this Qing Dynasty where cultivation is possible, all schemes and plots are meaningless. Strength is the foundation of everything!
If she hadn't been so capable, Emperor Kangxi wouldn't have abdicated.
In fact, if she weren't strong enough, she would already be ashes.
"If Consort Song is deposed, what will happen to Consort Li?"
Rong Xi's gaze swept over Consort Li, who was still kneeling there. This woman was a master of palace intrigue, knowing how to be patient and calculating. If she were to encounter Lady Guarjia, it would surely be a back-and-forth contest.
Rong Xi had a very high opinion of Consort Li.
...
Lady Guarjia dismissed Granny Miao and turned to look at Consort Li, her expression very solemn.
Granny Miao was targeting Consort Song, and Consort Li was the only eyewitness.
What did you see?
Guarjia's gaze fell on Consort Li's face, her eyes sharp, as if she wanted to see through Consort Li's soul.
"This concubine witnessed Lady Song attempting to assassinate the Empress!"
Consort Li knelt on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then answered, "Granny Miao accidentally seriously injured Madam Song while trying to save Your Highness. That's what I saw!"
"Remember your words!"
Guarjia didn't say anything harsh, she just glanced at Consort Li indifferently.
Consort Li hurriedly stated that this was her answer no matter what.
Guarjia waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go back now. Oh, and by the way, send a message to Prince Yong's wife and briefly explain this matter."
"This servant understands. This servant will take his leave!"
Consort Li quickly bowed and then left the Empress's palace.
Rong Xi watched Consort Li leave, then summoned the spirit of the cave and returned to Zichuan Town. The live broadcast was quite exciting, the only pity was that the final result was somewhat unsatisfactory.
