Chapter 505 - Too Scared To Come Out? (2/2)

Feng Qingtian was neither fond of nor hated this empress dowager, because she always kept a low profile and never partic.i.p.ated in politics.

However, Feng Qingtian also knew that she wasn’t as uninvolved as she seemed.

Feng Qingtian took Qin Shou and Ye Huai with him to the royal palace.

The ministers all paid tribute to him respectfully.

But none of them dared to be too enthusiastic, because they all knew that the emperor and Prince Zi were on bad terms.

Prince Zi couldn’t be in a good mood now that he didn’t have a chance to be the crown prince anymore.

He had even kicked out the garbage of the Gu house because she was the reason why he had missed the grand audience the other day.

Feng Qingtian sat down expressionlessly in his seat.

He didn’t tell the ministers to go back, and the ministers could only stand there, not daring to return to their seats.

Ye Huai said, “Everybody, take a seat. It’s the empress dowager’s birthday today. Prince Zi wants everybody to have a good time.”

The ministers thanked him and sat down, but they were all uneasy.

The atmosphere today wasn’t right. Prince Zi told them to have a good time, but he didn’t seem delighted at all.

But it was the empress dowager’s birthday. He probably wouldn’t do anything even if he was upset.

“They’re all saying that Prince Zi has been cuckolded. That must be frustrating,” the ministers whispered to each other.

“Seriously? The baby isn’t Prince Zi’s?”

“If it’s Prince Zi’s, why would he kick her out? Prince Zi wants a child more than anything else now.”

“That’s right… But that woman is really lucky to be able to return home alive.”

“After all, there are few women that Prince Zi can touch. She may be useful later,” said one of the ministers.

“I’m told that she’s hiding in the Gu house, too scared to come out anymore…”

“Too scared to come out? Then who’s that woman over there?” exclaimed one of the ministers.
