C155 Esteemed Empress Dowager (2/2)
After he finished speaking, Feng Li pulled Mu Ru Yue and walked outside.
The empress's face was extremely ugly. If Feng Chen lost her, and was incited by Thousandleaf's men, the person who killed Seventh Princess would be the sinner for the entire month! The empress could only feel her anger growing.
Such a little slut, on what basis did she have to constantly get in the way and let her live?
Just as Feng Li was pulling Mu Rong Yue out, a high-pitched voice rang out. ”Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived!”
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked! The empress dowager didn't care about the empress dowager's affairs for quite some years. If it wasn't for the fact that the emperor was a filial son, people might have long forgotten about the empress dowager. She hadn't thought that the empress dowager, who hadn't appeared all year round, would be alarmed by this matter.
When Feng Li pulled Mu Rong Yue out, the empress dowager's sedan chair was directly facing them.
A bright yellow carriage followed the sixteen palace maids behind it. Aunt Yu was the first to run out to greet them. She knelt before the empress dowager and said, ”This servant pays her respects to esteemed empress dowager. Esteemed Empress Dowager's phoenix body is in good health.”
With Aunt Yu's kowtow, the carriage also landed. The empress dowager's voice sounded out, ”Yu'er, come and help me down.”
”Yes.” Aunt Yu seemed to have received a great gift as she excitedly went forward to support her. As the empress dowager alighted from the palanquin, the empress brought everyone out to kneel on the ground to welcome her. Feng Li pulled Mu Ru Yue along and knelt on the ground as well.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager has a phoenix body and is in good health.” Everyone said in unison.
”Get up, all of you. This one heard that Qing Er has chosen a wife and was curious about your preparations for the banquet, so I came over.” ”You don't have to be so polite, just treat me as if I'm not here.” The owner of this voice was very kind.
Everyone stood up.
It was at this moment that a figure rushed out and cried out before anyone could react. ”Esteemed empress dowager, you have to redress this old servant's grievances!” This voice was tearing her heart out, she didn't know how much grievance she had suffered.
Everyone's expression changed.
”How dare you!” He actually dared to charge at Esteemed Empress Dowager! Take her down! ” The Queen was the first to speak. However, the empress dowager stopped the empress with a surprised look on her face as she looked at the people kneeling on the ground. His voice was clearly excited. ”You … Aren't you Anu? ”
”Esteemed empress dowager, she's a servant.” Do you still remember this servant? ” The wet nurse said excitedly.
Her Majesty's expression was gentle. ”You have been with This Dowager for so many years, how could I not remember? Why are you crying so miserably? Who bullied you? ” the Empress Mother demanded. This time, everyone's thoughts were different.
The empress entered the palace rather late, even later than the princesses who grew up in the palace. Thus, she did not know the identity of this wet nurse. However, Princess Yun Rou was different. Princess Yun Rou was the emperor's longest princess. She remembered most of the things that happened in the palace.
The empress was pleasantly surprised. She had thought that today's incident would end like this, but who knew that there would be such an incident!
If the empress was surprised, then Mu Ru Yue's current mood was as though she was looking for a dog! How unlucky was this? What was the probability? Why would they meet with such a coincidence?
”Esteemed empress dowager, my son died in the imperial kitchens today. Seventh Wangfei said my son was the one who poisoned the wangfei and princess, reaping what he sowed. But, even after eating those things, she was still alive. ”Why would my son die?” Her Majesty's face darkened. He looked at Feng Chen and Mu Rong Yue who was beside him. ”Seventh Princess, is what Ah Nu said true?”
