C189 General Command (1/2)

Qi He stayed at the Imperial Advisor's estate for some time before returning. Not long after he returned, the palace sent someone over to pass the decree that the empress dowager wanted to invite Qi and the princess to the palace.

The relationship between Qi and the empress dowager wasn't very good. After all, they weren't related by blood, but now that the empress dowager wasn't in the palace, it was understandable that an old woman like the empress dowager would try to find someone to talk to. Furthermore, Qi He was known to be an eccentric person, so it was very appropriate to look for her.

Just like that, Princess Qi and Wei were invited into the palace to meet the empress dowager.

As expected, the empress dowager had prepared delicious food.

”By the looks of it, it has been a very long time since I last saw you. It is rare for you to be free today.”

It seemed that she had done her homework and knew that Wei and Su liked the smell of incense. As a result, the cauldron in the palace was still burning and it smelled very good.

”That's right, esteemed empress dowager. Although Qi He cares deeply about you, he hasn't found the time to come and pay respects to you. May esteemed wangfei please forgive him.” Everyone loved to hear nice words. Wei He wasn't a person who liked to flatter. It was just that the other party was a pitiful and lonely old woman, so she wanted to say a few words to make her happy.

”What is this child talking about? You also have parents to serve. This one understands. Come, try out some of these dishes. This one specifically ordered the imperial chef to make them for you.” Her Majesty put some fish in her bowl.

”Thank you, Empress.”

The empress dowager looked around before sending off the palace maid, leaving behind only Senior Servant Li.

”There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for Wei He to be so courteous. Just treat it as if he's at home.” Her Majesty tried to be kind.

Of course, she was a success.

”Since esteemed wanghe said so, then there's no need to be polite.” She instantly transformed into a lively and adorable appearance. ”Empress, Wei and his servants have recently told you quite a few wild stories. If you're interested, can I tell you more?”

”Of course it's good. When I was young, I enjoyed listening to stories that didn't make it to the table. It's just that now that I'm old and have a lot of things to do, I'm delayed because of it. It's good to hear more from you today.”

Wei He began to talk as he ate.

”Xuan Yue is currently at war with Dongluo City. Do you know who the great general of Dongluo City is?” The story had to be told slowly, which would be interesting, and the best way to add interest would be to ask questions in the course of the story.

The empress dowager thought for a moment, then slowly replied, ”Yes, my name is Amu …” What was Ammu … ”Oh, I remember now. It's called Amudu, isn't it?”

”Exactly.” Qi He nodded. ”Empress, you don't know who Amudu's wife is.”

Her Majesty was intrigued by this question.

”Then quickly tell This Dowager who it is.”

Senior Servant Li, who was waiting on the side, was also very curious. Although Dongluo City was an enemy kingdom, they had lived in the Imperial Palace's courtyard for a long time, so they really didn't know many things.

Sure enough, there were many outsiders in the palace, so he was well-informed.

”It's his sister-in-law.” Wei He's tone sounded very mysterious.

When the empress dowager heard this, she was stunned. ”His sister-in-law? ”Doesn't that mean …”

This was an emotion that the heavens and earth could not tolerate.

”Ah Mu Du was extremely shameless. His brother's wife was very beautiful, but he drooled and kept harassing her without any results. But the heavens didn't open their eyes, and his brother actually suddenly died. Ah Mu Du, take advantage of sister-in-law being alone in the empty room and beat her …”

”AHH!” The empress dowager was incredulous. ”That woman didn't resist?”
