Yeah, so he got killed.
Such a light and self-evident statement, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Everyone: "..."
We don't exist, we don't exist, we're just a bunch of decorations.
The Empress Dowager, her hands hidden in her sleeves, gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, her anger rising.
She really wanted to slap these two ignorant and reckless bandits to death, but she couldn't find an excuse for it right now!
Princess Zhaoping was so ashamed she wanted to disappear.
She was a young, unmarried woman who openly challenged a man's wife, insisting on marrying him. Regardless of whether the man agreed to marry her or not, her reputation was ruined for life.
At this moment, Princess Zhaoping felt that the whole world was laughing at her and gossiping about her behind her back.
In her shame and anger, she silently slammed her head against the corner of the table next to her.
No one expected that Princess Zhaoping would cause such a scene.
Aunt Sun and the Empress Dowager were right there and didn't even have time to react. There was a loud bang, and Princess Zhaoping had already hit the corner of the table, her forehead bleeding as she fell unconscious to the ground.
"Sho Ping!"
The Emperor Taihuang cried out in anger and quickly threw himself to the ground to pull the person away.
This is someone she has carefully nurtured for over a decade. If he were to die like this, she would be heartbroken!
Aunt Sun hurriedly reached out to check Princess Zhaoping's nose for breath and gently comforted her, "Empress Dowager, please don't worry, she's still breathing, she's still alive."
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Those present: ..."
These words sound like they're concerned about Princess Zhaoping's life or death, but something just doesn't feel right.
This time, Imperial Physician Gao stepped forward without waiting for the Empress Dowager's summons.
He placed a silk handkerchief under his hand and took Princess Zhaoping's pulse. Then, he wrapped his hand in the handkerchief and examined the bruised and bleeding wound on her forehead. He said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the princess's injuries are not serious. She just fainted from the impact. However, the wound on the princess's forehead needs careful care, otherwise it may leave a scar."
"Sigh, Sister Zhaoping is really something. No one blames her for not managing her subordinates properly and raising two ungrateful wretches. Why is she so narrow-minded? If a woman has a scar on her face, her husband will dislike her in the future." Ji Fengyao looked heartbroken and regretful, appearing clueless and naive.
The Empress Dowager felt a surge of blood rising in her throat, and she had to use all her strength to suppress it.
This guy's management is so lax, it's unbelievable!
What was she thinking, letting the Emperor bring back such a heartbreaking thing from Vulture Village!
To deal with the Ninth Prince, she could just marry Zhaoping into his household!
That was a damn wrong move, it cost him his life!
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, please take a breath and don't be too anxious. Princess Zhaoping will be alright." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to faint from holding her breath, Aunt Sun quickly supported her and gently patted her chest to help her catch her breath.
With the help of Aunt Sun, the Empress Dowager got up and sat back down.
Several concubines who usually frequented her side quickly stepped forward to serve her tea and water.
After a long while, the Empress Dowager finally felt a little better and waved to everyone listlessly: "Everyone, please disperse for now and go for a stroll outside. The banquet will begin at noon."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The people, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly paid their respects and made their escape.
Du Ji Fengyao remained calmly seated in the hall below, extending her injured left hand and instructing Lin Shuang and Xi Que, "Alright, everyone's gone. Now we can treat and bandage the wound."
The Empress Dowager's face was ashen, and she was so angry that she didn't even bother to say a nice word. She just helped Aunt Sun away.
