Chapter 635 Trapped in the Palace
And the Queen.
He has not even shown up since the incident, but the Queen Mother came out to uphold justice.
A small number of people thought more and more that something was wrong and looked at the Queen Mother with panic.
Although some people did not think so much, they were terrified and uneasy because someone died in the palace and the Empress was implicated. At this moment, they just wanted to leave the palace and return home as soon as possible.
The Queen Mother's cold eyes swept around, and she chuckled and said, "The Ministry of Justice will investigate the murder case. Today is the palace banquet, so just eat and drink to your heart's content. Don't stand, sit down."
Everyone: “…”
There's no way they can still eat at this time.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, a lady bravely stepped forward and bowed to the Queen Mother, saying, "I suddenly feel unwell, so I will take my leave first. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."
"Are you feeling unwell?" The empress dowager leaned lazily against the back of her chair, looking at the lady who was speaking with a half-smile.
The lady felt her scalp tighten and she nodded stiffly.
The Queen Mother did not respond, but suddenly looked at the others: "What about you, is there anyone feeling unwell?"
kindness?
Does the Queen Mother mean that if anyone is unwell, they can leave together first?
As they thought about this, many ladies and young ladies stepped out from the crowd one after another.
This palace banquet has made everyone nervous, so it’s better not to eat.
However, when these people were anxiously waiting for the empress dowager to let them go, they were poured with a basin of cold water the next second, freezing them to the bone.
"Come here, arrange for these ladies to stay in the Qunfang Pavilion, and ask the imperial physician to come and treat them properly. If they feel unwell in the palace, I must take responsibility for this."
The Queen Mother's icy voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
The ladies and young ladies who said they were not feeling well all looked up at the Queen Mother at the same time, their eyes full of disbelief.
It was not until this time that everyone came back to their senses.
The Queen Mother wants to trap them in the palace.
"What does the Empress Dowager mean? We just want to leave the palace now." Someone with a bad temper couldn't help but ask.
"Madam Wei, you are so bold! Are you questioning me? Is this palace a place where you can come and go as you please?" The Queen Mother stared at Madam Wei with eyes as sharp as knives. Every wrinkle on her face exuded fierceness and unquestionableness.
Mrs. Wei's face turned pale, her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.
The rest of the people were even more angry but dared not say a word, and in their hearts they wished they could torture the empress dowager to death.
The Queen Mother lifted her eyelids nonchalantly, not caring about the anger and unwillingness in these people's eyes.
No matter how dissatisfied these people are, they have to bow their heads to her in the face of absolute power.
Song Nanyue was unruly and opposed her in every way. She felt very uncomfortable with him being in charge of the six palaces, and she had long wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The emperor was not her biological son, so it didn't matter to her who was the emperor. What she wanted was absolute power.
To today's palace banquet, the Queen has invited the wives of officials above the fifth rank. With these people on hand, she does not have to worry about objections from the ministers in the court.
"Ladies and young ladies, please come in." Wang Fu, along with the maids and eunuchs, stood beside the female relatives who said they were not feeling well, and made a gesture of invitation with an expressionless face.
A few people gritted their teeth and were forced to follow in fear and anger.
Madam Wei was unwilling to accept this and said angrily, "Even though the Queen Mother is of noble status, she cannot restrain us. Please forgive me for not obeying your order. I am leaving now."
She bowed slightly and left without looking back.
However, before everyone could come back to their senses, they suddenly heard her angry voice coming from not far away: "How dare you! What do you want to do?"
