C5 guilt (2/2)

”Kind?” Nangong Yu grinned. ”You've been so good to me after losing your mother, and yet you actually want to repay her in such a way?”

She already knew that this woman wasn't simple. Not only could she be revived and become the talk of the world, but she was also a monster that caused waves and waves in the imperial harem.

Shangguan Wan inhaled a breath of cold air, trying her best to hide the discontent in her heart. ”I hope the emperor won't just look at the surface.”

When Nangong Yu heard this, he became even angrier and quickly walked in front of her. He reached out his hand to grab her slender neck and continuously exerted his strength. He coldly laughed, ”Woman, are you trying to teach me a lesson?”

He exerted even more force, Shangguan Wan felt that before long, her neck would be crushed.

No, she couldn't die by his hands. She still had a mission to complete. She had to find some salted wood for her sister.

Just as he was about to use his magic to counterattack, he heard a soft call.

”My son …”

His voice was like the sound of nature, shocking everyone present.

Nangong Yu stared blankly back, only to see the empress dowager rise from her bed.

He quickly let go of Shangguan Wan and ran to the empress dowager's side.

”Imperial Mother, how are you?”

”I'm fine.” The empress dowager nodded. ”The emperor was wrong to blame the empress. She was just treating This Dowager's mute illness.”

Initially, when Shangguan Wan ran over to the Longevity Palace, she was a little hesitant because she had said that she was confident that she could cure her. However, after thinking for a while, she decided to leave it at that.

Fortunately, Shangguan Wan didn't disappoint her, and cured her mute with just one palm strike.

When Nangong Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked over and saw that the petite girl had already disappeared.

She left, hehe. Was she making fun of him?

After making sure that the empress dowager's health was fine, Nangong Yu left the palace with a peace of mind.

Right now, the emperor had two choices. One was to return to the royal study and continue reading the imperial reports, pretending that nothing had happened, and the other was to return to the palace and sincerely apologize to the empress.

Obviously, the former was simpler for him.

In the imperial study, someone was feeling extremely frustrated. Damn it, why did he always feel sorry for her?

In that situation, if it was anyone else, they would have gone into a rage. He also admitted that he was a bit impulsive, but this matter couldn't be blamed on him.

He tried to find a reason to ease his burden, but the more reasons he had, the more guilt he felt.
