The old maid took a beating without resistance, secretly resenting Xuexue in her heart.
Without Situ Yongjie’s permission, the Old Madam naturally didn’t dare to openly seize Xuexue’s betrothal gifts. Situ Yongjie wasn’t her biological son, there were always so inhibitions, not daring to be too arrogant openly, fearing to offend him and having no support for the rest of her life.
The Old Madam temporarily restrained herself.
Imperial Palace, Qingping Palace.
The Emperor heard early in the morning that people from the War Prince’s Mansion brought betrothal gifts to the General’s Mansion for a marriage proposal, and was so angry he knocked over his breakfast.
The ground was in disarray everywhere.
Palace maids and eunuchs trembled as they knelt aside, bearing the Emperor’s thunderous wrath.
Frankly, they felt very wronged.
After hearing a little eunuch whisper a few words, the Emperor suddenly, inexplicably flew into a rage, flipping over the dining table, scattering food all over the ground, scaring them senseless, not knowing what was happening.
However, like serving a king like serving a tiger, they understood this reasoning being deep in the palace.
"Spare us, Your Majesty, spare us."
The eunuchs and palace maids pleaded in unison.
This further annoyed the already irritated Emperor, who harshly smashed the bowl in his hand onto the ground, shouting angrily, "Get out, get out, all of you get out, you annoy just by being here, all are worthless worms, eat my food, use my things, can’t even handle a small matter, what’s the point of having you."
The eunuchs and palace maids, hearing this, felt like they were granted amnesty, scrambled up, and trembled as they ran out of Qingping Palace.
The Emperor’s anger was no trivial matter, if not careful, lives could be lost, they were still young, definitely unwilling to die! They fled as far as they could.
Ordinary eunuchs and palace maids fled, but the Emperor’s personal eunuch couldn’t escape!
Eunuch Li, looking miserable, hid by the door.
Every ti the Emperor was in a bad mood, he suffered the most. Although being the Emperor’s personal eunuch had many benefits, many Noble Consorts quietly gave him gifts, just to speak a good word for them in front of the Emperor, it was a coexistence of advantages and disadvantages.
The Emperor’s temper was unpredictable, tis like today, his anger frightened them to death, fearing that their lives would be lost unexpectedly.
"Eunuch Li, what’s wrong? Is the Emperor angry again?"
At this mont, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Eunuch Li turned his head, seeing Celestial Master Zhang, imdiately grabbed him like he found a lifeline, "Celestial Master Zhang, you’re here, that’s great, the Emperor is angry! Please go persuade him, otherwise we’ll be scared to death."
"What happened?"
"I don’t know, a little eunuch spoke a few words to the Emperor and he turned into this state."
When the little eunuch ca to report, he whispered near the Emperor’s ear. How could he know what was said?
Eunuch Li looked miserable; who dared to pry into the Emperor’s secrets, that was simply asking for trouble.
Celestial Master Zhang nodded, "I’ll go see the Emperor."
Soone was brave enough to tempt fate; Eunuch Li nearly wept with relief.
Felt as though Celestial Master Zhang was sent by Heaven to save him.
"Good, good, good! Celestial Master, go in quickly, the Emperor’s anger has tired him out, he should rest, otherwise it harms the Dragon Body."
"Alright."
Celestial Master Zhang said, taking strides inside.
Inside the palace.
The Emperor still wore an angry expression as he sat on the Dragon Throne, though his item-smashing had ceased.
Seeing the fragnts of belongings scattered throughout the bedroom, Celestial Master Zhang frowned slightly, it seed sothing had provoked the Emperor, making him fly into such a rage.
"Your Majesty...?"
Celestial Master Zhang tentatively called out.
