Capítulo 1977: Chapter 1977: Empress
The Empress, upon hearing this, was stunned and couldn’t help but say: “Aren’t you the Emperor? Why do you need the War Prince’s consent?”
Although the voice was light, everyone present could see clearly, including the Emperor, and it hit his sore spot. His face imdiately darkened, and he said coldly: “The War Prince holds sway over the court, even I fear him to so extent. Does this explanation satisfy you, Empress?”
The Empress snapped back to reality, startled, and quickly bowed her head to admit fault: “Please calm your anger, Emperor, this concubine did not an to offend, I humbly ask for your forgiveness.”
“Hmph!”
The Emperor stood up and stord off. After walking roughly ten ters, he stopped and called out loudly without looking back: “If you truly wish to save the Pri Minister, Empress, go plead with the War Prince. However, I advise you, it is best to do so before sunset today, otherwise, there won’t be another chance tomorrow.”
With that, the Emperor left without another word, accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids.
After a while, the Empress was still kneeling on the ground, dazed. The palace maid hurried forward, helped her up, and asked curiously: “Empress, what does the Emperor an? Why won’t there be a chance tomorrow?”
The Empress lowered her head, pondering what exactly the Emperor ant by his words.
Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly and exclaid: “This is bad, father is in danger.”
The palace maid was startled and asked: “Empress, what’s wrong?”
“The Pri Minister is in danger. Quickly, quickly, prepare the carriage, I must go to the War Prince’s Mansion,” the Empress said urgently.
From the Emperor’s words, the Empress finally realized that the Pri Minister would be in danger tomorrow and today is the last day of the deadline.
“Yes.”
The palace maid complied, hurrying away.
At the entrance of the War Prince’s Mansion.
A few guards with swords on their waists stood expressionless on either side of the gate, and slightly lower, there were two mighty stone lions standing tall on each side.
Not far away, small vendors on either side of the street were shouting continuously, their voices rising and falling…
“One wen money for a cotton candy!”
“Candied haws for sale!”
On the street, people ca and went. There were many little kids, who couldn’t even take a step when passing by the snack stalls, staring eagerly. Occasionally, so parents would stop and buy so snacks for the children to taste.
Just then, a commotion erupted up ahead, and the originally bustling street suddenly turned into chaos, with people running away in an instant.
Those slightly further away, unaware of what was happening, started discussing: “What’s going on? Why is everyone running?”
A civilian rushed from the front and hearing the talks, hurriedly said: “Oh heavens! Don’t you know? The Empress’s phoenix carriage is about to arrive. Quickly make way; offend the Empress and you might risk your life.”
After finishing, he ran off like the wind.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly packed up their stalls to make way.
In the blink of an eye, the previously bustling street was empty.
At this mont, a grand procession of riders appeared around the corner, approaching the War Prince’s Mansion.
The rumbling sound of the carriage mingled with chaotic footsteps echoed through the street.
Civilians watched from afar, quietly observing, their eyes full of envy and admiration. The noble in the carriage was the Empress of Moli Country, of extrely noble status. Being able to see her was a blessing cultivated over ten lifetis.
In the golden sunlight, a refined line of the carriage’s shadow glided over the ground, wrapped entirely in expensive and exquisite silk. The golden inlaid windows were covered with a curtain of light blue crepe, preventing outsiders from seeing inside. The carriage ca to a stop at the War Prince’s Mansion entrance.
