"If you really starve to death..."
"Alright, I know what to do. You all can leave now." Sun Senior Palace Lady interrupted, waving her hand.
"Yes."
Jin Shu didn't dare to say more and everyone withdrew in response.
Soon, only Chen Mo and Sun Senior Palace Lady were left outside the bedroom door.
"Senior Palace Lady, what exactly is going on?" Chen Mo asked in a deep voice, "Why is Her Majesty locking herself in the room?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady sighed and said, "Remember the night before I went to the Chen Mansion to see you?"
"Of course I remember." Chen Mo nodded and said, "Is it because of that matter? I was just about to come and explain to Her Majesty."
"Listen to me first..."
Sun Senior Palace Lady continued, "Her Majesty got very angry when she found out, so the next day she went to find Consort Yu to demand an explanation."
"The Empress went to see Her Majesty the Consort?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately became anxious, "Did they have a fight?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady shook her head and said, "To be precise, they started fighting."
Chen Mo: ?
Sun Senior Palace Lady said, "We don't know what happened between them. When Director Xu and I heard the noise and rushed in, Consort Yu was sitting on the Empress, drumming."
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Drumming?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady said awkwardly, "On the rump..."
"..."
"Then, after returning from Frozen Sky Palace, Her Majesty locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone. Thinking that only those involved could resolve this, I took the liberty of calling you over."
Chen Mo swallowed hard.
Something's really gone wrong this time!
But it's hard to say who is right or wrong.
From the Empress's perspective, being betrayed and demanding an explanation only to be dismissed, it's understandable her mental state collapsed.
But from Her Majesty the Consort's perspective, the Empress is originally a cunning fox, and had the audacity to confront her. Only spanking her was lenient, not slapping her to death is already showing mercy!
"This mess..."
He couldn't have imagined, in just one day, the situation would escalate to this!
"Her Majesty the Empress isn't injured, is she?" Chen Mo came to himself and asked.
"Her Majesty doesn't allow the Imperial Physician to check, but it doesn't seem serious, probably just superficial wounds." Sun Senior Palace Lady said.
"Alright, I'll go in and have a look."
Chen Mo lifted his leg and walked into the palace.
Watching his back, Sun Senior Palace Lady sighed wistfully.
"For the sake of a man, the Empress and the Imperial Consort have disregarded dignity, truly a source of disaster."
...
...
It was the first time Chen Mo visited the Ningde Palace.
The interior space was vast and ornately decorated, with corridors crisscrossing, connecting the main hall, side halls, and warm pavilions together, almost getting lost, and after several rounds, finally arriving at the East Warm Pavilion.
Standing at the door carved with phoenixes and luans, Chen Mo carefully sensed and discovered his Divine Sense was blocked. It seemed the entire hall was enveloped by an array to ensure privacy, preventing prying.
But it only blocked Soul Power, not sound.
He leaned against the crack in the door, listening closely, faintly hearing a murmuring:
"Yu Youhan, just wait... Ouch, it hurts... It's all that little thief's fault! Convincing me won't be easy this time!"
"..."
Chen Mo's mouth twitched, then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The room fell silent instantly, followed by an angry voice: "Didn't I tell you all not to bother me? Can't you understand?"
Chen Mo simply pushed the door open and walked in.
"How dare you! Who allowed you in, believe it or not, I will..."
Before the Empress finished speaking, he had already bypassed the screen, arriving at the Phoenix Couch, and reached out to pull open the curtains.
Seeing the scene before him, he was stunned.
On the bedside were bottles and jars, the Empress was only wearing a bustier, lying on the couch, her backside high, holding Muscle Relaxing Oil in one hand, visible palm prints evident on the fair skin, clearly more swollen than before.
Seeing it was Chen Mo, her expression stiffened, then she turned away.
"Why are you here? Leave quickly! I don't want to see you!"
Chen Mo sat beside her, whispering, "Let's talk later, let me treat your wounds first..."
"No need, don't touch me!" The Empress gritted her teeth, said resentfully, "Go find your Consort Yu, I don't need you!"
