308 Untitled (2/2)

The Empress sat upright, determined not to give in even if she were to be punished by the court officials in the future. Today, she was determined to make those two arrogant juniors bow to her and relieve the anger in her heart.

Meng Fuyao raised her eyebrows. She wasn't stupid; she obviously knew that the Empress was raising the matter of age superiority to suppress them. If they were to go by age and not national superiority, it was apt to bow to her.

It was a pity that Meng Fuyao would rather bow to a pig than to her; she detested that woman that much.

”Done.” Meng Fuyao smiled faintly, speaking grandly in front of the Xuanji officials. ”The Empress is benevolent and loves her people, her name is spread through the seven nations, and I have long admired her. This bow is definitely appropriate.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

A cold snort traveled from behind the screen. The Empress of Xuanji knew that no matter how good she thought she was, she knew her reputation was definitely not ”benevolent”. Meng Fuyao was clearly being sarcastic.

”Except that the nation is also considered as one entity, and if we were to measure by age superiority.” Meng Fuyao smiled at that before she continued, ”If we really were to go by age superiority, ah, wasn't Wuji founded much earlier than Xuanji? Does this count as being older? In that case, wouldn't you have to bow to the Crown Prince instead? Aiya, it's absurd to think of it, truly absurd!”

The Xuanji officials listened to her, flabbergasted. The knew that King Meng wouldn't have anything good to say, but since the Empress was the one who had instigated such an action, then she should settle it herself.

Meng Fuyao was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with her and directly clapped her hand.

”If Your Grace really wants to discuss seniority that much and wish for the Crown Prince and myself to greet you, then please return to the harem before we proceed any further.”

”How disrespectful of a junior!” The Empress suddenly stood up, and with a swish of her robes, the palace maid standing beside her, fanning her, was pushed down the stairs. The palace maid fell to the bottom of the steps and blood ran from her head, yet she dared not cry out and was soon dragged away by the well-trained eunuchs of Yongchang Palace.

Meng Fuyao's eyes flashed angrily. 'This evil b*tch! Judging by her viciousness, how many innocent souls had fallen victim to her hands?'

Feng Xuan suddenly opened his mouth.

”Empress… where is my medicine…”

The old man's raspy voice reverberated throughout the large hall, and the Empress paused, surprised. Then, she said, ”In the harem…” Turning around, she realized that Feng Xuan had already retreated back into the throne, occupying the seat fully and leaving no space for her.

She paused again, and in that instant, she understood that her husband was asking her to leave in a way that did not embarrass her. At this point, it was naturally for the best to go with the flow, but for a woman who had never been placed at a disadvantage for decades, she wasn't willing to lose out even for a single second, much less be willing to have her husband ”take sides.” She stood there and wrangled her fingers under her robes, causing grinding sounds with her decorated fingernails.

Then, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at a certain corner behind the screen.

There seemed to be the shadow of a slender figure.

Meng Fuyao suddenly leaped up!

Just at the moment when the Empress of Xuanji raised her head, Meng Fuyao's lazy posture had suddenly turned into a flying leopard, shooting from her seat like a ray of light across the quiet hall, towards the throne!

The entire hall was in shock as the Xuanji officials tried to stop her, yet they were unskilled in martial arts and suddenly felt a suffocating darkness sweep across the hall silently, wave after wave. After they managed to hide from it, Meng Fuyao had already reached the throne.

She launched herself towards the screen as a guard clad in golden armor blocked her path, but without even looking at the guard, she sent the guard flying across the hall onto an elaborately decorated pontoon. Before the guard could stabilize himself, she sneered and flipped a stool at him, then sprinted directly behind the screen.

”Show yourself!”

Without looking at the shocked old man and the bewildered woman, Meng Fuyao directly reached behind the screen.

However, her fingers grasped air.

The space behind the screen was empty, since when had there been any silhouette?

Meng Fuyao was stunned. Didn't she use her full speed to get here? How many people under the heavens had martial abilities that surpassed her? Indeed, in that spur of the moment, the person had disappeared!

She swept her eyes around the hall again, indignantly. There was only a table and stool at the back of the hall, with a carpet covering the ground. The four walls were heavily draped, and Meng Fuyao's gaze fell on the lowered drapery, wanting to tear them down, but she knew that it was no longer possible.
