”I am also very sad to hear that the Little Prince has passed away. This perfectly fine person actually said that it was all gone. ” The empress wiped the tears away from her eyes as she spoke, her voice choked with sobs.

”I've lost my composure.”

The empress revealed a weak smile. ”Even though I am not the birth mother of the young prince, I view all of His Majesty's children as my own. The young prince suddenly died. As a mother, my heart really doesn't feel good. ”

This affective card was quite effective. The excitement that Hu Rong was feeling gradually subsided. But elder sister's death due to the poisoning of the little prince was indeed something that the empress could not escape from.

”What does' prince 'not awaken the imperial physician mean?”

This question of Hu Rong's really got the empress's attention. She did have the selfishness to use this opportunity to give Imperial Concubine Jin an eyedrop. He never expected that the horse would lose its footing and fall into his trap.

Blue veins popped on the empress's forehead as she feebly explained, ”When the old diseases of my palace recur, His Majesty took care of these large and small affairs of the imperial harem and left them to the other concubines. ”Right now, the one managing the harem is Imperial Concubine Jin. She can't be pampered during pregnancy. Everyone knows that the Emperor's new favorite, Imperial Concubine Ning.”

The empress shook her head helplessly as she spoke. ”There are some things that I can't decide even if I say something unpleasant.”

The empress really treated her as a child who wouldn't care less. Hu Rong laughed coldly as she felt even more disdain. Since when could the empress of the imperial harem be unable to command the Grand Hospital? This was obviously a perfunctory excuse.

”The empress was quite awe-inspiring before, why can't she lift her head when she's faced with Ning Xiaoyao?” This is really surprising! ”

Regardless of whether it was the empress's words or not, this kind of excuse would fool the officials in the court who had their own ulterior motives.

Even though her elder sister was a saint, she didn't have much of an excuse. It was only with her father's help that she managed to gain some authority in the harem. The Queen allowed Shen Qing An to climb onto her head, who was she trying to deceive?

The empress's face turned green from Hu Rong's words, and she didn't know what to say. There was a wolf in the front, and a tiger in the back. What could she do? Now Shen Qingning was using Ye Feihan's favor to secretly stir up a lot of trouble.

Ye Feihan had already been in the Hall of Congealing for more than ten days.

Ye Feian had arranged many things for her to do, so the empress wasn't in the mood to get involved in a harem battle.

Fang Ruo retorted, ”Miss Hu Rong is too funny. The emperor has yet to take care of the empress dowager's illness, so he left matters of the imperial harem with Imperial Concubine Ning. Right now, the esteemed Empress is resting her illness and isn't overly involved in the affairs of the imperial harem, so the empress doesn't know anything about the little prince. ”

As the empress, Fang Ruo could tell with one glance that the empress intended to pass on everything to Shen Qingning, so she hastily made an excuse when Hu Rong's attitude loosened up.

Hu Rong didn't believe it, but she didn't have the empress's proof of it. Even if it was reported to Ye Feihan, it would at most be a perfunctory matter.

However, she was unwilling to accept this. The young prince of the Shang Shu Manor, who the entire Hu Clan had been waiting for day and night, had died in this battle for nothing.

”Tomorrow morning, Father will definitely report this matter to the Emperor. We absolutely cannot let it pass so simply.”

The empress also frowned with worry. How could she not know that the little prince had given birth to the eldest son of the emperor? This could be said to be a great achievement. If she were to die in such an unknown manner, even if she had the intention of perfunctoring over it, the entire imperial court would not allow her to do so.

There were many people waiting for her to make a fool of herself.

”Don't worry, your sister and I will definitely not let this killer off!”

”That's good. I hope the Empress will keep her promise!” After saying that, Hu Rong turned around and left.

She rushed to find the empress to settle the score. Her elder sister must have informed her father to come and support her. Her father would definitely be worried if she didn't go out for a long time. The foreign officials couldn't enter the harem, so it would be a lot of trouble if they were to enter the harem after completely falling out with the empress.
