Empress Dowager Guo kicked her away, her voice utterly contemptuous. "A mere Jieyu thinks she can act with impunity just because she has the Emperor's favor? Today you have violated palace rules, and I still have the authority to deal with you. Guards, what are you standing there for? Take her to the Cold Palace immediately!"
Immediately, palace servants stepped forward and pulled Wen Ruyi, who had fallen to the ground, up.
Unexpectedly, Consort Liu's glory lasted only a few days before she was about to be banished to the cold palace.
For a moment, the palace servants looked at her with a mixture of pity and mockery.
Wen Ruyi collapsed there, her heart sinking to the bottom.
She did so much and sacrificed so much to reach her current position, but all of that was destroyed by Wen Nongnong.
Her eyes were fixed on Wen Nong Nong, filled with resentment and malice.
That bitch Wen Nongnong will die a horrible death!
From an angle where Empress Dowager Guo couldn't see, Wen Nongnong gave her a slight smile.
Little brat, you're still too green to mess with her.
She must have watched quite a few palace dramas.
Soon, Wen Ruyi was dragged away.
Empress Dowager Guo still felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
That bitch should take a good look at herself in the mirror. With such a despicable spine, she dares to make a move on Gu Linchao. She deserves to die!
"Your Majesty, since there's nothing else, I'll leave the palace now." At that moment, a timid voice came from behind.
Empress Dowager Guo snapped out of her daze, looked at the slashed left cheek, and feigned concern, asking, "Is your face alright?" In her heart, however, she was furious with that bitch Wen Ruyi for not being more careful and disfiguring her.
"It's just a minor injury, I'll apply some medicine when I get back," Wen Nongnong said, adding, "The Empress Dowager is getting old, so please don't tell her about what happened today, lest she worry."
Empress Dowager Guo naturally did not want to disturb the Empress Dowager over such a trivial matter, so she agreed, saying, "I understand."
"Then I shall take my leave." Wen Nongnong curtsied, then covered her face with a handkerchief and left.
When Empress Dowager Guo returned to Xianghe Palace with a gloomy expression, Gu Heng had already received the news.
She had barely stepped inside when Gu Heng arrived.
"Mother, I heard that you banished Consort Liu to the Cold Palace. Why is that?" Gu Heng frowned, his face grim.
Empress Dowager Guo was very displeased upon seeing this. "Naturally, it's because she violated palace rules. Otherwise, why would I have banished her to the Cold Palace for no reason?"
"What exactly did she do wrong?" Gu Heng noticed her displeasure and had to soften his voice.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Guo softened her expression and advised, "That woman, Consort Liu, is not worth your kindness. Don't be fooled by her seemingly gentle and harmless appearance; she is actually filthy and despicable."
Gu Heng was also somewhat displeased upon hearing this. "I know that Mother Empress does not like Liu'er, but why does Mother Empress have to say such things about her? She is already pitiful enough."
Empress Dowager Guo sneered, "Pity? That was all an act. Only you would feel sorry for her. That woman is incredibly cunning. She's keeping you hanging on while secretly coveting your imperial uncle! I've never seen such a shameless woman!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's expression darkened. "Mother, please be careful what you say!"
Empress Dowager Guo was still furious when she thought about what had just happened, but she calmed down a lot after hearing this. "I did not slander her. She was audacious and dared to block the road and beat Wen Nongnong. Wen Nongnong still has a cut on her face."
