Chapter 138: Chapter 97: Empress and Empress Collide! Touched the Wrong Person! (6K)_3

Soon, footsteps sounded as Xu Qingyi entered the great hall.

"Your Majesty..."

"Why are you alone? Where is Chen Mo?" Yu Youhan asked.

Xu Qingyi bit her lip and whispered, "When this servant arrived at the government office, Chen Mo had already been taken away by Eunuch Jin, and should now be in Yangxin Palace."

"..."

Yu Youhan’s eyes were cold.

The Empress again? What exactly does she want to do?

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Qingyi continued, "When this servant passed by the palace chambers just now, I heard that the Imperial Kitchen has started serving dinner, and if I’m not mistaken, the Empress intends to have Chen Mo stay in Yangxin Palace for the evening meal..."

Boom—

Before she could finish speaking, a terrifying oppressive force came crashing down, nearly solidifying the air inside the great hall!

Xu Qingyi turned pale and knelt on the ground in terror.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Yu Youhan’s palace gown fluttered without wind, her eyes filled with a deep light.

"First it was the lunch, and now the dinner. What next?!"

"Overreaching... Jiang Yuchan, you have crossed the line!"

She abruptly stood up, her skirt swaying, and walked toward the exit of the great hall.

Xu Qingyi hastily asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Yu Youhan’s voice was piercingly cold, "To the Royal Palanquin, heading for Yangxin Palace!"

...

Yangxin Palace.

Eunuch Jin stood with his hands behind his back outside the vermilion walls, watching the evening glow spreading across the sky.

To dine twice in the palace was an honor not granted to any other official.

Her Majesty the Empress truly seems to have a special fondness for Chen Mo.

But it was understandable.

The Great Yuan officialdom is thoroughly corrupt and desperately needs fresh energy to clear the silt and foster purity. Whether in terms of talent or capability, Chen Mo is highly outstanding and has accomplished remarkable feats. He is the most suitable candidate.

The only pity is that the Chen Family is tied too deeply to Consort Yu.

"A phoenix does not perch on a tree other than the wutong, does not eat if not serenity, and does not drink of any spring but the sweet one. If it has high and noble aspirations, how can it mingle with the rebel party?"

"I hope Chen Mo makes the right choice and doesn’t lead himself astray..."

During their few encounters, Eunuch Jin watched as Chen Mo rapidly grew and couldn’t help but feel fond of such talent.

But one must get their priorities straight and timely delineate his loyalty away from Consort Yu...

Suddenly, Eunuch Jin’s brows furrowed.

Distant footsteps approached rapidly. On the palace path, a sea of ceremonial flags appeared, with dozens of palace servants escorting a sedan chair in the direction of Yangxin Palace.

"Which concubine is so blind to disturb Her Majesty’s meal at this hour..."

"Hm?!"

When he saw the golden-topped, goose-yellow palanquin embroidered with phoenixes and the Purple Phoenix on the flags behind it, Eunuch Jin’s pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle points!

Consort Yu!

What is she doing at Yangxin Palace?!
