1829 Arriving at Empire City 4 (2/2)

Consort Qin had a hint of embarrassment on her face and awkwardly chuckled. ”This consort needs to take care of His Majesty, so how could this consort leave? Moreover, as His Majesty's daughter, Princess ought to take a risk for His Majesty.”

”Is that so? Then why didn't Consort Qin assign the experts of the imperial palace to me? If the imperial palace doesn't have any experts, the Qi Family has quite a few, doesn't it?”

Mu Xuexin's words caused Consort Qin's face to freeze. The ministers inside the room all simultaneously turned their gaze toward Consort Qin.

Consort Qin did not hold much hatred toward the previous Empress. After all, when the Empress passed away, the Qi Family had not obtained power yet, so Consort Qin naturally had not seen the previous Empress. However, she hated Mu Xuexin!

Because the Emperor dearly loved Mu Xuexin, it made her inwardly unhappy.

Mu Xuexin was merely a daughter, and she had birthed a son, to say the least, but she had never seen the Emperor dote on her son that much.

When Yun Yueqing was still here, Consort Qin did not dare to be too impudent because she knew Yun Yueqing's character. If Yun Yueqing learned of her true nature, she certainly would not support the Qi Family anymore.

On top of that, Mu Xuexin had an extremely good relationship with Qi Su, and Yun Yueqing was a protective person, so Consort Qin could not bully Mu Xuexin.

As a result, Consort Qin did not reveal her nature until a year after Yun Yueqing left!

”Consort Qin, your actions simply disregarded Fourth Princess' safety.” A minister could not remain silent and spoke up, his face livid. ”If anything happened to the princess, how could this subject explain it to His Majesty?”

They knew that Mu Xuexin went to Lingchuan Mountain but did not stop it since the Imperial Family had a lot of experts. What they did not expect was for Consort Qin to not give a single one of those experts to Mu Xuexin.
