The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009: Chapter 847, Kidnapped Again

Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager picked up the teacup from the table and threw it directly at the Empress, who was kneeling before her.

The Empress didn’t dodge, getting splashed in the face with the tea.

Empress Dowager looked at the Empress with an indifferent face, "Have you been Empress for so long that you’ve forgotten you are a woman of the Jiang Family? You’ve actually become the Emperor’s knife, aimed at me and the Jiang Family."

The Empress raised her eyes to the Empress Dowager and said calmly, "Aunt, please stop, the Jiang Family can’t compete with the Emperor."

Empress Dowager immediately laughed scornfully, "What kind of love potion did the Emperor give you that you are so afraid of him? Back in the day, the late Emperor favored the Wan Family so much that he nearly deposed me, but didn’t I turn the situation around anyway?" _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"The Emperor thinks his wings are strong enough now that he can disregard me and the Jiang Family. Has he forgotten that without me, he wouldn’t be sitting on the throne?"

"I was able to push him onto the throne, and naturally, I can pull him down!"

Looking at the Empress Dowager, who had lost her sanity, the Empress felt a profound sense of powerlessness, "Aunt, the Emperor is not like the late Emperor. The late Emperor neglected state affairs and was obsessed with women, but the Emperor is different. With his military and literary strategies, and the loyal and capable ministers and generals by his side, you can’t use the same methods you used against the late Emperor."

"Aunt, please heed my advice. Do not continue to clash with the Emperor; by doing so, there might still be a way out for the Jiang Family."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager let out a series of cold laughs, looking at the Empress with a face full of ridicule, "To think you’re the Empress, yet you’re so naive. The Emperor and the Jiang Family have long been incompatible."

With a resigned heart, the Empress left Cining Palace once more.

Walking along the palace corridors, the determination in the Empress’ eyes grew stronger.

After all, even as the Empress, she had little say in the affairs of her family. Now, with the deaths of her brother and nephew, her aunt and father had already lost their reason.

She was powerless to save her family; the only thing she could do now was protect her Le Kang.

After the Empress left, the Empress Dowager stayed in the ancestral hall for most of the day before summoning the Third Prince.

Ever since the Third Prince learned that the Empress Dowager was not the biological mother of the Emperor, he had been trying to distance himself from the Jiang Family. But it was easy to get on board and hard to get off. Facing the summons from the Empress Dowager, he dared not ignore it.

"Great Grandmother, what do you need from me?" asked the Third Prince.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Third Prince indifferently; she was too lazy to pretend anymore and got straight to the point, "Xiao Yeyang is investigating the treasure matter, did you know that?"

The Third Prince tensed up, "Didn’t Father suspend him from his duties?"

The Empress Dowager scoffed, "Enough, don’t play tricks in front of me. I don’t believe you aren’t aware that’s just for show to outsiders."

With a heavy snort, she continued,

"You took half of the treasure that was moved out. If Xiao Yeyang finds out that you’ve tampered with the treasure left by the Eighth Prince, tell me, do you think the Emperor will grow even more disgusted with you, his son?"

The Third Prince’s face turned pale, staring blankly at the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, what else was there not to understand? The discovery of the treasure map left by Xiao Yechi in Duke Cheng’en’s residence had all been a trap set by the Empress Dowager and Duke Cheng’en.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Third Prince indifferently, "Don’t look so aggrieved. Tell me, do you want to sit on the Dragon Throne? Do you think the Emperor will pass the throne to you with the impression you’ve made on him? Opportunities must be seized, not awaited."

The Third Prince’s brows knotted tightly, "Great Grandmother, why are you looking for me after all?"

The Empress Dowager said, "You also don’t want Xiao Yeyang to continue investigating, do you? Find a way to stop him."

The Third Prince forced a smile, "Xiao Yeyang isn’t openly investigating; how could I possibly stop him?"
