Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl-Chapter 888 - : The Empress Threatens
Chapter 888: The Empress Threatens
” I’ll rise to the top. With your help, Shimin’s future will be more stable.”
Still silent.
Su Qiutang waved her hand. The Phoenix Guard deliberately took a few steps back.” Back then, we were still able to talk and laugh together. Time has passed. We didn’t even talk when we met.”
Zhang Ronghua’s gaze was sharp like a blade. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to withstand it, but she looked at him calmly.” Don’t you understand?”
“Are we not good enough to you?”
Looking at the sky.
It was a sunny day after the rain, and the sun was shining brightly. It was exceptionally warm.
“I like freedom,” said Zhang Ronghua.
Su Qiutang knew when to stop and returned to being that aloof woman.
They arrived at the Tranquil Heart Palace.
Zhang Ronghua was waiting outside the hall, while she went in to report, as if deliberately ignoring him. After a full quarter of an hour, Cai ‘er came out, her face taut, pretending to be a tiger,” The Empress wants you to go in!”
After entering the main hall, the door was closed, and Cai ‘er stood guard outside. After entering the bedchamber, she stopped behind the curtain and bowed,” Greetings, Empress!”
Although there was a bead curtain, it could not completely hide the spring scenery inside.
On the bed.
The Empress was like a lazy kitten, lying down casually. She was wearing a thin veil that only covered the important parts. Her fair and smooth arms and legs were exposed to the air. At this moment, even a drop of water on her neck could slide down.
Her ten toes were very mischievous. They moved around happily and were painted with gorgeous nail polish. They were sexy and charming. She wanted to play with them all the time. If she met someone with a special hobby, she would lick them all the way to the end.
The most irresistible thing was her temperament. She was like a mother to the world and was noble beyond reach. If she knelt down, opened her mouth, and pressed her head, the sense of accomplishment would reach its peak.
She was reading a book in her hand seriously, as if there was a golden house in the book. She did not hear what he said.
Su Qiutang stood at the side with her hands behind her back.
The Empress did not speak, and Zhang Ronghua remained the same.
He had already guessed it when he came. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this trip to the Tranquil Heart Palace was a banquet at the entrance of a trap.
A few minutes later.
The Empress put down the book in her hand. Her cold and dignified voice rang out.” Censor Zhang, you’re so arrogant. I ordered people to hold the Phoenix Token, but I couldn’t even invite you. I even asked Hall Master Su to come personally.”
The Xia Emperor was used to take the blame.
“I’m here to do something under His Majesty’s orders,” said Zhang Ronghua sternly.”It’s an urgent matter. I can’t get away.”
“Are you using His Majesty to suppress this prince?”
Zhang Ronghua’s silence was the best answer.
“BenGong sees that the higher your position, the more you forget yourself!”
“This subject will go and ask His Majesty later. When His Majesty’s orders and the Empress’s orders are issued at the same time, who should I listen to?”
The Empress did not buy it.
No more nonsense.
“It’s good for young people to be energetic, but it’s not a good thing to be too sharp. Pang Youshan’s case was handled well, and he has already gained a firm foothold in the Imperial Censorate. You can’t just make enemies in officialdom. Only by uniting with more like-minded people can you go further.”
Zhang Ronghua said,” I can’t be blind. It’s fine if I don’t know. But since I know, I can’t convince myself.”
Their eyes met, and they exchanged blows across the bead curtain.
Zhang Ronghua responded calmly and did not change at all. No matter how strong her aura was, his gaze was domineering and unmoved.
“Why did I ask you to stop?” The Empress ‘voice was even colder.
“I am an official of Great Xia. As long as I receive a day’s salary, I will do my job well.”
“Retreat!”
Zhang Ronghua didn’t leave. He knew that he shouldn’t ask this question, but he still asked it to probe.” You and His Highness…”
“Didn’t you hear BenGong asking you to leave?”
“I will take my leave!”
He turned around and left.
As the door closed.
The Empress was furious. She could no longer pretend. She clenched her hand and crushed the book beside her into powder, scattering it on the ground. She raised her red lips.” Are you sure?”
” From the information we’ve gathered, Bai Wuji should be Bai Yichang’s illegitimate son!” Su Qiutang said.
“Du Chengming, that trash! Why can’t he be like Shi Min, who either doesn’t make a move, or makes a move with great talent, ability, and political tactics?”
He was referring to Zhang Ronghua.
Thinking back to the past.
The Crown Prince had just transferred him out of the Eastern Palace and sacrificed a huge amount of benefits. He had thought that it was not worth it. Now, it seemed that it was not worth it at all. The small Imperial Army had grown from a third-rank official to a powerful faction in the court that no one could ignore. As Pei Cai’s reputation grew, it would be even more difficult to suppress them when they entered the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
Su Qiutang sighed faintly. She thought back to when she was sitting on the ground at the Meditation Lake. Her pair of jade-like feet were playing in the lake. He could only watch from the side. Now, they were on equal footing. It was really too fast. She said seriously,” From the looks of it now, Bai Yichang is probably involved in the case of the Flaming Thunder Pearl. It all depends on Du Chengming.”
“He won’t!” The Empress shook her head.
” In this way, all the years of planning and control of the Imperial Censorate will be in vain. When this case is over, His Majesty will also tear a corner and insert his own people. It will be impossible for him to have a one-word rule like before.”
“It’s still within the acceptable range to only lose Bai Yichang,” said Su Qiutang.
“Have you found out who is protecting him?”
“No, I haven’t.” Su Qiutang shook her head.
