The empress dowager then asked, ”Your name is Xue'er. Are you trying to cause trouble here? ”

Then, she kowtowed a few times and said to the empress dowager, ”Esteemed empress dowager, please make it clear that esteemed wangfei is still lying on her sickbed. These people are actually slandering her behind her back, saying that esteemed wangfei is in all sorts of trouble and that the empress is bewitching her!”

When the Empress Dowager heard Xue'er's words, she did not have much of a reaction. She picked up a glass of wine from Longjing, who had been standing by the side before the rain, and gave a look to the stranger.

In a flash, Green-Eater stood up, slapping Xue'er twice on the mouth, and said to her, ”Slut, how can you speak like that? Esteemed wangfei? ”The person hasn't been officially conferred a title yet, so where did this' Concubine Hui 'come from?”

At first, no one had had time to react, but when the other court ladies did, they immediately understood what the empress dowager meant. It was likely that the empress dowager didn't like this Huifei either, so things could be settled with that.

One of the little palace maids pointed at Zi Yan, who was still in the air. Zi Yan was the close palace maid beside Yong Fei. She was kneeling on the ground, extremely nervous, and her hands were trembling …

”Esteemed empress dowager has made it clear that this wretched person had come to cause trouble for us. When he insulted our esteemed wangfei, the servants couldn't help but go up and teach her a lesson, but who would've thought that she'd kick and beat her. Esteemed Empress, look at how she beat up this servant's face full of scars!”

Zi Yan's current expression made her seem very pitiful. When she looked up, she saw that it was indeed red and swollen. Xue'er was puzzled, what was going on? He had clearly not hit her just now, she had always been the one hitting him. What about it? Instead, her face had become like this?

Xue'er suddenly felt a sense of panic. She finally understood that these people had deliberately set up such a trap to harm her!

But would Esteemed Empress Dowager get mixed up in this as well?

The empress dowager's status was high, so there was no need for her to go through so much trouble just to deal with a little girl.

Xue'er looked at the empress dowager and said nothing more. Although she was on her knees with her head lowered, she had already made up her mind. She might not be able to keep her life today, but she had nothing to say.

She was afraid that if she were to die, the empress dowager would go to the emperor and complain, causing her to be unable to find peace even after death.

It was likely that Su Mu would be implicated as well …

Xue'er closed her eyes, and the Empress Dowager said, ”If that's the case, then the palace has its rules, and it's not good for me to go against them. Uncle Green, you're an old man in the palace. How do you think we should deal with this?”

”Esteemed Empress Dowager, this servant believes that the palace has its own rules. The servants who sow discord cannot spare his life, but this servant sees that Xue'er isn't too old …”

Right at this moment, the empress dowager coughed twice before adding, ”Only, since she's still young, the punishment she deserves is not her age. It'd be better if the empress dowager bestowed an intact corpse upon her.”
