Wen Nongnong was prepared. When she raised her hand to strike, she turned her head slightly, so she was only brushed by her fingertips.
And this was something she deliberately let herself be scanned.
Almost as soon as her fingertips brushed against her, she immediately covered her face, then took two steps back in a panic, and exclaimed in surprise, "Consort Liu, what business is it of yours if the Prince and I are in love? Why are you angry and hitting me?"
Wen Ruyi hadn't recovered from her anger when she heard what she said. Her face turned ashen, and she stared wide-eyed at what was behind her.
Wen Nongnong had blocked her view, so she didn't see Empress Dowager Guo walking up from behind...
Anyone who isn't stupid can understand what Wen Nongnong means after a little thought.
She's implying that she has designs on Gu Linchao...
As expected, Empress Dowager Guo, her face already grim, suddenly rushed over and, without saying a word, raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.
"Shameless slut!"
Wen Ruyi was knocked to the side, her head buzzing, and she didn't react for a long time.
Wen Nongnong, standing to the side, was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Guo was so powerful; that slap was truly hard.
"The Regent is a man of noble character. How could a shameless wretch like you even dream of him?" Empress Dowager Guo clenched her fingers, looking at Wen Ruyi, who had turned her head away and was still bleeding from the corner of her mouth, her anger still lingering.
Wen Nongnong glanced at her, wondering if she was overreacting.
Moreover, she had a very high opinion of Gu Linchao.
Realizing what had happened, Wen Ruyi, ignoring the blood at the corner of her mouth, knelt on the ground with a thud, her face pale, and cried out, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I was born to be the Emperor's person, and I will die to be the Emperor's ghost. How could I possibly covet someone I shouldn't have coveted? Please, Your Majesty, investigate this matter thoroughly."
Empress Dowager Guo said coldly, "I just saw with my own eyes that you were jealous of the Regent's wife's favor with the Regent, so you became angry and even tried to harm her. The wife's face is still injured. Are you sure this is all fake?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong cooperated by lowering her hand, revealing her left cheek with a finger mark, and then said in a wronged voice, "This princess is about to leave the palace, but Consort Liu is waiting here and saying some inexplicable things to me, saying that I am a toad trying to eat swan meat and that I will be divorced by our prince sooner or later."
"Her current position by the Emperor's side is merely a temporary measure; when the time is right, she will surely replace me..."
She paused here, looking pitifully at Empress Dowager Guo, "Empress Dowager, what does she mean by that? What does 'replacing me' mean? Why did she hit me?"
Empress Dowager Guo glanced at her with some annoyance.
This person has a handsome face, but his brain is so stupid.
She couldn't even understand their obvious intentions; how foolish!
She ignored her, her eyes coldly fixed on Wen Ruyi on the ground. "Consort Liu, the Emperor has treated you so well, yet you harbor such wicked intentions, disobeying your wifely duties and coveting someone you shouldn't. You are utterly shameless. Guards! Consort Liu has not only violated palace rules but also dared to harm the Regent's Consort. Arrest her and send her to the Cold Palace."
Wen Ruyi was shocked and hurriedly rushed forward to hug her leg, "Your Majesty, I haven't done anything, you can't send me to the Cold Palace..."
