The empress wasn’t angry, she looked at Chen Mo and said accusingly, "Mr. Chen, did you hear? Consort Yu says you are despicable."
Chen Mo: "..."
"I was talking about you!"
Yu Youhan’s expression turned even colder.
Seeing the tension escalating between the two, Chen Mo was anxious but didn’t dare to interrupt.
Finally, he was at a loss, so he quietly reached out and pinched the consort’s smooth curve.
?
Yu Youhan’s body trembled slightly, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Chen Mo.
Though they were standing side by side, and the palace gown covered them, the empress did not notice... but this dog-like lackey’s boldness was too great!
Chen Mo maintained a natural expression, cleared his throat, and said, "Empress’ words are reasonable. As an external minister, it’s indeed inappropriate for me to stay in the palace, I’ll leave later..."
"No way!"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by both of them in unison.
The empress took two steps forward, speaking solemnly, "You’ve caused such a big mess, Prince Yu Mansion surely won’t let it go easily. If they pull some stunts behind the scenes... it’s safer to stay in the palace."
Yu Youhan said decisively, "Stay in Frozen Sky Palace for a few days, until the matter settles."
The empress raised her eyebrows disapprovingly, "Consort Yu just said I was despicable, how come you’re knowingly offending now?"
Yu Youhan replied coldly, "I’ve always been a ’calamity to the nation, evil concubine’, I don’t care about reputation, unlike you, who boasts about being a model of virtue, but secretly engages in petty tricks..."
"I’m petty?"
"Hmph, do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Speaking of petty tricks, who can compete with you?!"
The empress gritted her silver teeth, her delicate face filled with anger.
Seeing the two about to fight again, Chen Mo had no choice but to silently increase the pressure...
"Ugh~"
Consort Yu almost let out a muffled hum, a blush spread across her cheeks.
?
The empress looked puzzled.
What, had she enjoyed being scolded?
Chen Mo’s actions became even more audacious, his fingers even... Consort Yu couldn’t hold herself anymore, she grabbed his shoulder and disappeared as if she were an illusion.
Her cold voice echoed in the air:
"I’ll give you three days, if you can’t handle it properly, I’ll deal with it my way."
The empress sneered coldly, "It’s not your place to teach me how to do things!"
There was no response for a while, clearly, the two had left.
The empress’s expression sank slightly, she knew very well Yu Youhan wasn’t just talking.
This demoness could do anything!
"Chu Heng..."
The empress squinted her phoenix eyes, approached the imperial desk, and pulled the nearby bell.
Soon, a female officer entered, bowed, and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
The empress’s voice was low, "Summon Prime Minister Zhuang Jingming to the palace."
The female officer responded: "Yes."
...
...
Outside Yangxin Palace, Eunuch Jin happened to pass by and saw Senior Palace Lady Sun squatting at the corner of a wall, looking puzzled, "Sun Senior Palace Lady, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing." Sun Senior Palace Lady slowly stood up, saying, "The bricks and stones here are a bit loose, we need to get someone to fix it later."
"Matters like this should be handled by servants, there’s no need for you to bother." Eunuch Jin looked around, lowered his voice, and asked, "Regarding last night, how does Her Highness intend to handle it?"
