The Emperor often has that phrase on his lips, and the Empress couldn’t refute it, only able to widen her eyes and stare at Long Rui.
Seeing this, Xuexue said, "Empress, this is the execution ground. Your status is noble, and it’s not appropriate for you to be here. It would be best to return."
Upon hearing this, the Empress looked angrily at Situtu Xueer. It was because of this woman that the Fourth Prince lost the fight for the throne. In desperation, she had to adopt the Second Prince, who wasn’t her biological son, under her na and do her best to secure the position of Crown Prince for him. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she beca. However, for the Fourth Prince and her future, she had no choice but to proceed this way.
"I am speaking with the Prince. What right does a lowly woman like you have to speak to ?"
The Empress was hinting to Situtu Xueer that she was rely a concubine of the War Prince, with no qualifications to speak to her.
Long Rui beca angry upon hearing this. Xuexue’s position in the War Prince’s Mansion was only temporary, and it wasn’t for the Empress to comnt on her.
"Empress, mind your language." Long Rui said coldly.
"Why be tense, your highness, over a country girl?"
"Say one more word, and don’t bla for being rude."
"Hahaha...! What’s the matter? Is the War Prince unhappy? Miss Situ was just a country girl, after all. Does the Prince want to use his power to hide this fact?" Despite having repeatedly humbled herself, Long Rui was still unwilling to let the Pri Minister go. The Empress was extrely furious, and in her anger, she began to speak incoherently.
Long Rui maintained a cold face in silence, his eyes fixed on the Empress.
Although the Empress was a bit scared inside, relying on her noble status, Long Rui was just a minister and, no matter how angry, dared not do anything to her. So, she felt even more confident and turned to Xuexue, saying, "Madam Situ, you’re just a country girl. Why not stay in the countryside and instead co to the Capital as a concubine of the Prince? Isn’t that self-degrading?"
Just as the Empress finished speaking, she felt her body lifted from behind and, before she could react, was suddenly thrown off the stage.
"Ah...!"
The Empress let out a piercing scream, falling among the onlooking crowd.
The onlookers saw clearly that the Empress was lifted and thrown off the stage by the War Prince. All were stupefied, thinking the War Prince was incredibly bold, daring even to confront the Empress.
As the Empress was about to fall in front of them, the onlookers cleverly sidestepped altogether...
"Boom!"
The Empress’s body fell heavily to the ground.
"Oh my! It hurts, it hurts so much!" The Empress, having lived in luxury for decades, had never been hit before and imdiately cried out in pain, lying on the ground.
The palace maids and eunuchs who had co with the Empress were alard and dashed over upon seeing the Empress was hit by the War Prince...
"Empress, Empress, are you alright?"
Isn’t that obvious? She was already lying on the ground. How could she be fine?
The Empress was so angry she couldn’t speak. The distance from where the War Prince was sitting was about 100 ters, and being thrown so far and falling heavily, the Empress felt like her bones were all dislocated.
The palace maids hurriedly rushed forward to help the Empress up, anxiously asking, "Empress, what happened? Where does it hurt?"
The Empress grimaced in pain; could she say her whole body hurt?
"Oh dear! It hurts; it hurts so much!" The Empress was so dizzy from the fall that she forgot to curse the War Prince.
