Upon hearing this voice, the Empress Dowager's face turned green, devoid of any emotion!
She's this old, and she's spent her whole life in the palace, how could she not know what this meant?
The problem is:
Not only were the emperor and empress inside, but Prince Zhong'an, Di Kanlong, was also there!
One is the emperor of the country, and the other is the matriarch of the country;
Add another surrendered official...
They have utterly disgraced the ancestors of the Great Zhao royal family!
The Empress Dowager's fish-like eyes widened, her voice still mechanical and ruthless, but she raised it to the highest and most high pitch she could muster: "You dog slave, get out of my way, get out of my way! If you dare to block my way again, I'll have you beheaded right now!"
Ping Shu's cold tone sounded quite comical.
But no one wanted to laugh, and no one dared to laugh.
Grandpa De hung his head, on the verge of tears:
If he refused, the Empress Dowager would immediately order him to be beheaded;
But if he gives in, the emperor will have him beheaded!
It's so hard for him, it's just too hard!
De Gonggong slowly moved aside, turned and hid to the side, hugged a guard by the door, and began to sob softly.
Guard: "..."
I am a pillar devoid of emotion.
The Empress Dowager, too lazy to pay attention to the dramatic old man, Eunuch De, turned to the several burly palace maids beside her and coldly said, "Kick the door open."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Two of the maids took two steps back, then rushed forward and kicked the tightly closed door shut.
But the expected sound of the door shattering didn't come.
The two palace maids, however, retorted.
They crashed into the stone slabs of the square outside the Imperial Study like two human cannonballs.
After landing, the two made a dull thud accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking. Their bodies bounced twice due to inertia, but they never got up again.
The Empress Dowager, including the Imperial Guards who had been standing guard at the entrance of the Imperial Study;
Everyone's pupils involuntarily contracted.
Two words simultaneously flashed across everyone's faces: So strong!
In a dark corner of the Imperial Study.
A masked man in black whispered to Xiao Jian beside him, guessing, "Your Excellency, if the Empress Dowager barges in like this, Your Excellency Meng will probably kill her."
"Given Meng Qi's nature, there's an eight or nine out of ten chance he will," Xiao Jianzi said with much more certainty, looking like she was watching a good show from the sidelines.
The masked man in black hesitated and said, "But if the Empress Dowager dies like this, there will be no one to restrain the Ninth Prince. If Envoy Meng pushes the Ninth Prince even further, the Ninth Prince will probably take Princess Chonghe to Cangzhou immediately."
Cangzhou is the territory of the Nine Kings. The Nine Kings' people there are very secretive, and our people have not been able to find their hiding place yet.
If the Ninth Prince takes Princess Chonghe to Cangzhou now, it will be difficult for us to track their whereabouts. When His Majesty returns and finds Princess Chonghe missing, he will surely be angry.”
“That’s true. Princess Zhaoping has already discovered the Empress Dowager’s true colors and will likely surrender to the Ninth Prince soon. If the Empress Dowager dies at this time, the Ninth Prince will truly have no ties left in the capital. That old hag can’t die.” Little Cocoon raised an eyebrow.
As the Empress Dowager approached the entrance to the Imperial Study, Xiao Jianzi released her aura, making Meng Qi sense her presence.
Standing at the door, Dikanlong originally intended to follow suit and kick the old shrew, the Empress Dowager, to death as well.
He suddenly sensed the presence of the small callus and immediately withdrew his foot.
Meng Qi sneered at Xiao Jianzi and said sarcastically, "Jianyou, so you're still in the capital. I thought you'd gone to sea to lick the Venerable One's heels!"
