Chapter 755 The Strange Pulse (1/2)
The Empress was stunned, and a gust of cold air rose from her feet. She had never expected that Xia Huanyu would tricked her to draw the secret out of her.
”Your Majesty, what do you mean?” The Empress gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in her sleeves. After a while, she sneered, ”I just wanted to prepare a gift for my father, why do Your Majesty make such a fuss? Do you think it's wrong for me to look for a stone? Or do you think I have anything to do with the stone tablet thing?”
Hearing this, Xia Huanyu just looked at her coldly, which made the Empress straighten her back. After a long time, Xia Huanyu said softly, ”Since the establishment of the State of Xia, ministers from the Su clan has always been the most trusted assistants of the emperors. Do you know why, Your Majesty? ”
”Of course it's because the Su clan has been very loyal and devoted to the State of Xia for generations.” The Empress didn't dare to look into Xia Huanyu's eyes. She only turned her head to look at the phoenix carved on the porch pillar.
Xia Huanyu nodded, but then shook his head. ”You're only partially right. In addition to the loyalty, the Su clan always knows its place. They never ask what they are not supposed to.”
The Empress's face became more stiff. Xia Huanyu continued with usual coldness in his voice, ”Loyalty and humility are the foundations of the Su clan's prosperity. But what you and Field Marshal Su have done made me a little disappoint...”
Xia Huanyu said in a lower voice, but to the Empress, it was as if the words had weighed a thousand pounds.
”Sometimes people should know to be content. How could a minister intervene with matters about heir to throne? That's Xia clan's own business. You haven't grown any smarter even though you have been in the Palace for so many years. If it weren't for your parents' guidance, you would have lost everything. People should learn to be content. You have already been the empress, only second to me...”
The Empress's face turned deadly pale, overwhelming shock surging in her heart. After a long time, the Empress managed to calm down. With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and sneered at Xia Huanyu, ”Your Majesty wants to pass the throne to that woman's son. Do you think I don't know that? Your Majesty make me bitterly disappointed. I've been accompanied you for more than 20 years, but you care more about that woman who has just been in the Palace for several years!”
Xia Huanyu's face darkened, but the Empress couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. ”It was Your Majesty who chose me as your wife and the empress. But after I entered the palace, I've got nothing but the title. Your Majesty even occasionally cares about other concubines, but when it comes to me, you've always been so cold, not even a word of concern...”
Tears welled up in the Empress' eyes, and she couldn't say anything more.
However, Xia Huanyu just looked at her coldly. Seeing tha
Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital is here to check your pulse.”
Ning Qian restrained her expression and nodded slightly, ”Lead Doctor Liu in.”
As the door curtain of the inner hall was lifted, the imperial physician followed two maids in and bowed to Lady Xiang. ”Greetings, Your Highness.”
