C155 Esteemed Empress Dowager (1/2)
”Seventh Princess, how dare you! The empress gave you a chance to prove your innocence, but you didn't know how to be grateful, and even had the empress apologize to you? ” Aunt Yu said angrily. These words had reached the empress's heart.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she smiled. ”Is it because I have the guts or because you guys have the guts to cover the sky? The Empress, as the mother of a nation, wants to persecute me, the Seventh Princess. He insisted on forcing me to take arsenic to prove my innocence. If I can't hear your apologies today, then, even if we have to fight to the death today, we'll have to make a ruckus all the way to the throne room.
When Mu Ru Yue said that, everyone's expression became extremely ugly.
Before, when Mu Ru Yue hadn't eaten arsenic, she had at most been scolded by the Emperor. Then, she would give Mu Ru Yue a clean slate. Now? They had forced the princess consort to swallow arsenic. If it wasn't for the fact that Murong Yue was immune to poisons, wouldn't she be dead?
This matter, even if it got to the emperor, she, the empress, would still be severely punished! Furthermore … If that was the case, then everyone in the world would know of Murong Yue's system! How could this work?
The empress thought for a while, then looked at Mu Ru Yue and said, ”Forget it, today is my fault. I will apologize to you. However, with Seventh Princess' body, why didn't she die even after eating arsenic? Could it be that you are some kind of demon? ”
Mu Ru Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Monster? Was he going to make her concoct a pill next?
Just as Mu Ru Yue wanted to retort, she heard a cold and angry voice from the outside, ”Back then, this king had fought in the battlefield and coincidentally obtained a treasure that could make one's body devoid of poison. Two days ago, this duke shared some food with the wangfei. I wonder if Imperial Mother has any objections? ”
The moment the man finished speaking, the empress's expression distorted. Compared to demons and devils, she believed more in this possibility. After all, Seventh Bro had always been quite strange. However, there was such a treasure. He actually gave it to Mu Ru Yue?
Just as everyone was on alert, a person walked in.
Mu Ru Yue looked at the approaching person and saw that he was dressed in red. His long hair was in chaos. It was as if he was covered in dust and wind. It was as if he had finally arrived at this place. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with rage. It looked very fierce. However, Mu Ru Yue felt that this Phoenix Seep looked even better.
It was like a heavy hammer had smashed into her heart, making her unable to forget this person.
”Is what Seventh Brother said true?” the empress asked unwillingly.
”Why don't you let This King have a pack as well, Mother?” Feng Chen's tone was not friendly. When the empress heard this, she immediately quelled her anger and laughed, ”Forget it, I was just joking. I was worried about you. However, since Seventh Brother has this thing, why didn't he gift it to your royal father? ”
The empress's words were truly thought-provoking.
After all, as the son of an Emperor, he should think about the Emperor first if he had something good to offer. What happened today would surely spread to the Emperor's ears, and at that time, the Emperor would surely find Feng Chen even more unpleasant to the eye.
Phoenix Seep seemed to not mind at all as he sneered, ”On the night of This King's wedding, I don't know what cruel and merciless person nearly poisoned Princess Hua-Yang to death, so This King had no choice but to make such a decision. What? Could it be that this king should present this item to you before going to look for the eighth wangfei? ”
The empress was embarrassed by these words.
Feng Chen's marriage could be said to be the most important thing in the capital. To use such a method to keep the Seventh Princess in the capital, even the Emperor would have thought it was tolerable. After all … If Feng Chen had taken a fancy to the concubine in the palace who didn't have a prince, the emperor would have endured it and given her the gift!
”I really didn't expect that Seventh Princess would almost meet with an accident when she was getting married.” The empress looked shocked.
Feng Zhi held Murong Yue by her side and looked at the empress. With a cold voice, she said, ”Imperial Concubine, I only have her. If anything happens to her, I won't marry her again.” ”As for what would happen then, I hope that the person who touched her will be responsible for all of this.”
