C34 Not right (1/2)

The cat demon ate and drank in the palace. Now that she was used to this kind of life, the palace maids and eunuchs beside her changed their ways to make food and pastries in order to please her. If the empress dowager ate with relish, then she would definitely be heavily rewarded.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the current Empress Dowager looked as though she hadn't eaten in hundreds of years.

As Senior Servant Jing brought over a plate of jade-like pastries, the Empress Dowager's eyes began to shine.

”Now that the empress dowager's appetite has increased, this is a good thing.” Having served the Empress Dowager for so long, she knew that she had eaten very little in the past. Now that she could eat so much all at once, it could be said that she had made up for the previously empty space.

The empress dowager ate her food as she spoke. ”It's better to be a person. You can enjoy yourself like this.”

When Senior Servant Jing heard this, she was puzzled. Good at being a person? Although there was nothing wrong with the Empress Dowager's words, they were rather strange when she said them.

”Oh right, it's my birthday, Dong Yue. Tell some people to gather some delicious food and bring it to the palace. At that time, I'll have a feast for my mouth.” Look, the imperial palace's delicacies could no longer satisfy her. She would covet the delicacies outside the palace.

When Senior Servant Jing heard this, she was even more puzzled. She reminded her in a small voice, ”Empress, your birthday is in La Yue, not Dong Yue.”

The empress dowager's hand that was reaching for the jade pendant froze in midair, as a chill rose up her phoenix eyes. ”La Yue?”

Crap, so the Emperor already knew that he was a fake. That night, he was purposely testing me.

”Empress, what's wrong?” The empress dowager's ears were clear and her eyes were sharp. She didn't seem muddle-headed, but she really found it strange that she didn't even know how many months her birthday was supposed to last.

”Nothing.” The empress dowager smiled coyly. ”This Dowager remembered wrongly.”

His voice had just fallen when a voice called out from outside the door, ”The emperor has arrived!”

This time, not only Nangong Yu, but also Shangguan Wan and another character had entered – Luo Chen.

When Her Majesty saw the dust, her eyes blazed. Daoist Priest? How could there be a Daoist Priest by Shangguan Wan's side? This is ridiculous.

Taoists and demons had always walked different paths. Now that things had developed this way, she couldn't help but be suspicious.

”Imperial Mother, the empress accidentally injured you last time. She's regretting her decision, so I came here to take her to apologize to you.” This was just a plan the husband and wife had discussed with the Demon Cat.

The empress dowager could no longer relax her guard. Although the emperor's words were good, she already knew her true identity. She and Shangguan Wan, that vixen, were in the same group.

When Senior Servant Jing saw that the emperor was so sensible, she felt very gratified. She knew, after all, that they were family.

But the Empress Mother was absent-minded and had not replied.

The atmosphere in the Longevity Palace was a bit awkward. Luo Chen felt like he was about to be hit by an arrow. He had no choice but to release his aura.

Whenever he thought of Qiao Xin's tragic death, his anger would rise to the heavens.

Shangguan Wan noticed that something was wrong with Luo Chen. She immediately transmitted her voice, ”Stay here, your majesty is here.”
