This person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, catching Wang Houde and the others off guard, and she suddenly appeared in front of Wen Nongnong.
Upon seeing her face clearly, Wang Houde's expression changed, and he coldly shouted, "How dare you be so insolent in front of the Emperor and Empress? Guards, drag her away."
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly lunged at him and grabbed his leg, crying, "Don't...don't chase me away..."
Wang Houde's expression changed drastically. It was the first time a woman had hugged his leg like this, and he felt extremely disgusted, but his body was stiff and he forgot to react for a moment.
Just then, Bai Li walked over, grabbed the woman's hair, and pinched the woman's thumb and forefinger together.
The woman felt the pain and finally let go.
Bai Li slammed her to the ground, then glanced at Wang Houde with a hint of disdain.
Wang Houde: "..."
Wait, could this little girl think he's reluctant to push the other person away?
This is a tremendous injustice.
Wen Nongnong's gaze fell on the face of the woman lying on the ground, and she was stunned when she saw her face clearly.
The man's profile bore a striking resemblance to hers.
"Who are you?" she asked, frowning.
The person who came was Tu Tong. Gu Heng had abandoned the palace and fled with only Si Lan. She and a group of concubines stayed in the palace.
After Gu Linchao ascended the throne, all of them were banished to the Cold Palace.
I heard that the new emperor is busy with state affairs, and when he has some free time, he will punish them, and they may very well be expelled from the palace.
As a concubine of a deposed emperor, leaving the palace meant certain death.
She didn't want to leave like that, nor was she willing to give up.
Thinking that she resembled Wen Nong Nong somewhat, she bribed the eunuch guarding the Cold Palace and ran away, hoping to have a chance encounter with Gu Lin Chao.
Relying on her resemblance to Wen Nongnong, she believed that Gu Linchao would keep her if he saw her, but she did not expect that Wen Nongnong would return to the palace today.
But that's perfect, she was just worried about not having a chance to attract Gu Linchao's attention.
Wen Nongnong is perfectly suited to be here.
That's why she rushed in front of Wen Nong Nong just now.
She hadn't expected the female guard to be so rough, not only tearing out a strand of her hair but also pinching her hand so hard it hurt and went numb.
At this moment, seeing Wen Nongnong ask the question, she quickly knelt down, raised her face which resembled Wen Nongnong's, and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, I... no, this humble concubine was originally a member of the deposed emperor's harem. Because I look somewhat like Your Majesty, they... they all called this humble concubine Little Wen..."
"Your surname is Wen?" Wen Nongnong looked at her in confusion. She didn't know that there was someone in Gu Heng's harem who looked somewhat like her.
Upon hearing this, Tu Tong blushed. "No, my surname is Tong. It's because I look somewhat like Your Highness that they gave me the nickname 'Little Wen'..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong suddenly understood what she was planning.
She glanced at Gu Linchao and saw that he was also frowning and looking displeased, which made her secretly relieved.
She was afraid that this woman had something going on with Gu Linchao before she returned, and that this whole thing was a performance deliberately staged for her.
She didn't want to suspect Gu Linchao, but this person did look somewhat like her, and his sudden appearance here made it hard for her not to overthink things.
Even though she now knows that there's nothing between Gu Linchao and her, she still feels uncomfortable.
This person looks somewhat like her, and says that everyone calls her something like "Little Wen Shi," and now she's kneeling there looking pitiful.
She wasn't stupid; this woman was clearly trying to get Gu Linchao's attention.
Did she think that just because she looked somewhat like her, she could seduce Gu Linchao?
Thinking of this, she fell silent, wanting to see how Gu Linchao would handle the situation.
However, to her surprise, Gu Linchao said to Lü Qiao and Bai Li beside him, "Send the Empress back to her palace."
Wen Nongnong was stunned. Gu Linchao was actually trying to send her away?
Her pretty face darkened. Could it be that Gu Linchao really had something going on with this woman?
Thinking of this, her heart sank, and she bit her lip, saying, "Why don't you dare to deal with her in front of me?"
Seeing her angry expression, Gu Linchao realized she had misunderstood. He put his hand on her shoulder and said gently, "Go back first, and I will give you an explanation later." After saying that, he glanced at Lü Qiao and Bai Li.
The two men were startled and quickly stepped forward to help Wen Nong Nong and walk forward.
Wen Nongnong was furious. What was Gu Linchao trying to do? Why was he trying to get rid of her?
But she had to hold back because of her two children. She was determined to get an explanation from him soon.
Only after Wen Nongnong had walked far away and he was sure she couldn't hear him did Gu Linchao order, "Take her away and beat her to death!"
Originally, Tu Tong was quite happy when she saw that he had sent Wen Nong Nong away, thinking that there was hope and that Gu Linchao had taken a liking to her.
But just as the smile bloomed on her face, she heard that cold voice that seemed to come from hell.
She collapsed to the ground instantly.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! I will never dare to do it again..."
Coming to her senses, she immediately begged for mercy.
Gu Linchao didn't even glance at her before walking away.
What Tu Tong didn't know was that Gu Linchao was initially surprised to see that she looked somewhat like Wen Nongnong, but he quickly realized that Gu Heng had always harbored ill intentions towards Wen Nongnong. So what was his intention in bringing someone who looked like Wen Nongnong into the palace?
Thinking of this, Gu Linchao was furious and disgusted, believing that they had desecrated Wen Nongnong and could not tolerate it.
Wang Houde looked at Tu Tong with pity, "She really doesn't know what's good for her." With such a face, instead of keeping a low profile, she still dares to flaunt herself in front of the emperor. She's simply courting death.
