Chapter 27 An Empress‘ Favor

Firibed

Good thing she’d caught it early. This body was maybe a hundred and fifty pounds—and all of it was poison–bloat. Now that the poison was gone, the weight gain had stopped. In just one day. Margaret could feel the difference. Lighter. Cleaner. Her pulse told her she’d dropped at least three or four pounds.

Without even trying, she’d be back to normal in two or three months.

The exercise before bed and after waking was simply to accelerate the process….

She wondered how Stella had slept last night.

Her special “baldness acupuncture” should be kicking in nicely.

She couldn’t wait to see Stella bald…

After all, they were sisters.

One could be fat, the other bald.

“Miss, hurry and prepare yourself–someone from the palace has arrived!”

Just then, Winter rushed frantically to her side.

Margaret remained calm. “What does someone from the palace have to do with me? Why the rush?”

Winter babbled, “Her Majesty the Empress sent for you–specifically! The carriage is waiting outside!”

“The Empress wants to see me?”

So suddenly?

Winter nodded as she hurriedly pulled Margaret inside, helped her change clothes, hastily arranged her hair, and dragged her out. “The Empress‘ people have been waiting. Best go now and ask questions later, Miss.”

Margaret found herself in a palace carriage before she could process what was happening. First thing in the morning? This couldn’t be good.

Even in the original Margaret’s memories, the Empress had rarely summoned her. Whatever this was, it wouldn’t be pleasant.

Soon, the carriage passed through the palace walls. After a long ride, she was finally escorted out.

A chamberlain led the way, smiling ingratiatingly. “Haven’t seen you in a while, Ms. Margaret Campbell. You seem to have slimmed down.”

Margaret’s lips twitched. “You jest. Everyone says I’m fat–how could I be slim?”

It was true.

Although her actual weight was only around 150 to 165 pounds, she looked more like someone who

weighed 190 to 200 pounds. This was mainly because she had very little muscle tone–her flesh was quite soft. When she walked, you could even see the flesh on her arms jiggle. That was exactly why she insisted on exercising.

Hence the exercise.

Yet this chamberlain claimed she’d slimmed down. Either he was flattering her, or mocking her…

Soon she reached the Empress‘ palace. Magnificent as it was, Margaret had no interest in admiring it. Only when she saw the Empress‘ smiling face did she relax slightly.

At least she wasn’t here to cause trouble…

She bowed respectfully.

But the Empress herself came forward to raise her up. “No need for formalities. We’re family–sit, let’s

talk.”

She emphasized the word “family” distinctly.

Margaret hesitated, understanding dawning. She remained standing. “Your Majesty is the mother of the realm. I am unworthy to sit in your presence.”

The Empress‘ smile faltered, then faded.

“I summoned you today because I’ve heard certain things and wish to ask you directly.”

Margaret lowered her head. “Please ask, Your Majesty.”

“They say you voluntarily dissolved your engagement with the Crown Prince. Is this true?”

So that was it.
