If the Empress Dowager had even the slightest bit of emotion, she would have been driven to her death by anger.
Unfortunately, she didn't.
The Empress Dowager's face was wooden and terribly rigid, and her voice became increasingly mechanical and loud: "You get out of here too! As the Empress of a country, your behavior is like that of a courtesan, vulgar and obscene. Don't offend my eyes here!"
Chen Ziyun's face darkened instantly, and her sharp, disrespectful gaze, like a dagger, openly pierced the Empress Dowager, as if she wanted to use her eyes to slowly torture this old woman on the spot.
Even though the Empress Dowager showed no emotion, she still raised an eyebrow at the sight of the Empress's glare.
That little slut!
Is she trying to turn the world upside down?!
How dare they treat their mother-in-law so rudely?!
"The Empress is not an outsider, Empress Dowager, please speak your mind." Shang Xiche's tone was completely disrespectful, as if the person who came was not his mother, but just a familiar old woman from the palace.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her thin eyelids, her straight and empty eyes fixed on Shang Xiche: "Emperor, are you sure you won't regret this?"
"I never regret what I do. So tell me, what trouble do you have to tell me this time?" Shang Xiche lazily slumped in the large, comfortable dragon throne, looking languid.
Looking at Shang Xiche's hopeless state;
The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, wanting to turn around and return to Cining Palace.
But think about it, once she takes the blood cicada that Princess Zhaoping has been nurturing inside her body, she will have at least twenty more years to live. If the emperor falls and the imperial power falls into the hands of the empress and the crown prince, she will definitely live a miserable life for the next twenty years. She has no choice but to endure it.
The Empress Dowager decided to ignore the Empress and took the upper seat on the left. She asked directly, "I heard that as soon as the Ninth Prince returned, the Emperor stripped him of his military power and planned to investigate Princess Chonghe for harming the Crown Prince and imprison her."
"That's right. Here, these are the military tallies that the Ninth Prince handed over." Shang Xiche pushed forward the two beast tallies that were casually placed in the corner of the imperial desk without making any comment.
Empress Dowager: "..."
That's a military tally that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops!
Are you just going to leave it here like this?
"Your Majesty, the military tally is related to the foundation of the country. Since the Ninth Prince has temporarily given it to you, you should keep it safe and not be careless, lest someone take advantage of the situation." As the Empress Dowager said this, her empty eyes stared straight at Empress Chen Ziyun, her meaning self-evident.
Chen Ziyun ignored her, a strong sneer playing on her lips;
It seems to be saying:
You ignorant old fool, it's too late for you to say anything. Victory is in my hands!
Shang Xiche said impatiently, "Old man, what exactly are you trying to say by rambling on and on? Just say it and get lost. Stop your endless chatter and delaying my business!"
The Empress Dowager may not have emotions, but she does have a temper.
She was embarrassed after being rebuked by Shang Xiche and Chen Ziyun.
She stood up straight, her voice stern: "Since the Emperor finds me too long-winded, then I won't bother you any longer."
But I would like to remind the Emperor one last time: a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite; the Emperor should not be complacent and push the Ninth Prince too hard.
As for Princess Chonghe, I will add fuel to the fire and make her leave the Ninth Prince.
As soon as she leaves the Ninth Prince's residence, I will arrange for Nan Jue to marry her.
After saying that, the Empress Dowager ignored the Emperor and Empress's expressions and walked out the door, putting on the airs of the matriarch of the harem.
Reaching the door, the Empress Dowager glanced at the arrogant Dikanlong one last time and said indifferently, "Once a dog, always a dog. Climbing onto your master's table is treason and deserves to be killed!"
