Fù Níng was not without reason to worry about Chǔ Fēiyàn causing trouble in the palace.
After all, Chǔ Fēiyàn's hatred for Chǔ Qiānlí had reached a point where she couldn't live comfortably without eliminating her.
In the evening, Chǔ Fēiyàn saw the list of people from the Lìng Prince's mansion who were to enter the palace that night, held by the Empress Dowager's wet nurse, Diàn Mómó.
"This bitch dares to attend the Empress Dowager's banquet! She's truly overconfident, who does she think she is?"
Diàn Mómó was somewhat puzzled, looking at the indignant Chǔ Fēiyàn, and asked in surprise, "County Princess, who has made you so unhappy?"
"It's this Chǔ Qiānlí!"
Chǔ Fēiyàn pointed at the name on the list, grinding her teeth in anger, "Mómó, you don't know how excessive she is. When we were in Běi Míng, she hit me."
"What?" Diàn Mómó was instantly filled with anger, "Our County Princess is of noble birth, and someone dared to lay hands on you! This is rebellion!"
"Exactly, that bitch, she didn't just lay hands on me once, she almost took this County Princess's life!"
"Then, County Princess, you..."
"Of course, I'm fine now. If it weren't for Mr. Liú Jīn from Prince Xuán's side saving me, would I still be able to stand before you?"
The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became.
Consort Lìng was truly ungrateful, daring to bring her enemy into the palace! It made her furious!
Chǔ Fēiyàn picked up the list and rushed towards the Empress Dowager's chambers, "Imperial Grandmother, Fēiyàn has been bullied, Imperial Grandmother! Consort Lìng actually dared to bring a little bitch into the palace, she truly doesn't respect you at all, Imperial Grandmother!"
But the Empress Dowager's chambers were empty of the Empress Dowager.
Diàn Mómó followed behind her, panting.
"County Princess, no, no, the Empress Dowager is in the side hall, County Princess, the Emperor... the Emperor..."
Hearing that the Empress Dowager was in the side hall, how could Chǔ Fēiyàn bear it?
She refused to wait for Diàn Mómó and immediately barged into the side hall!
"Imperial Grandmother, Imperial Grandmother, you must help me, Consort Lìng and that little bitch are bullying me together..."
Diàn Mómó was terrified, but unfortunately, County Princess Fēiyàn had just arrived and didn't know who was with the Empress Dowager.
She ran too fast, and Diàn Mómó couldn't catch up, unable to stop her in time!
...In the side hall.
A dragon robe tightly wrapped the man of exceptionally tall stature.
He sat on a chair, drinking tea.
His demeanor appeared gentle and soft, but in reality, it was as cold as ice.
His attire was formal, yet this formality completely concealed the last trace of youthful vigor he possessed.
A man so handsome that words failed to describe him.
The Empress Dowager looked at her son, having watched him for so many years, yet she still felt as if she couldn't see enough.
For some reason, every time she saw him, she felt he looked even better than before.
Her son was unparalleled, the most outstanding existence in the entire Nán Míng Kingdom.
It was a pity... that such a perfect person had not left a single descendant for the royal family.
The Empress Dowager's heart ached every time she thought of this.
But there was no use in saying anything in front of her son.
He was impervious to reason, neither yielding nor resisting, and had been like this for over ten years, ever since he returned from his travels.
He viewed women as poisonous snakes, avoiding them as if they were a plague.
All sorts of beauties had been found for him, but not one caught his eye.
If it weren't for the fact that he showed no peculiar interest in men, even the Empress Dowager would have suspected that her son's preferences were problematic.
"My son, has Wàng'er truly woken up?"
Just as she was about to leave the palace to see her younger son, news came from outside that Prince Jìng had woken up.
"I heard that it was a young lady who cured him, is that true?"
