"I don’t know either. Chun’er didn’t follow into the palace today, she just waited at the palace gate. How should I know what’s going on with Chun’er?"
Madam Zui said helplessly.
At that ti, she wasn’t by Chun’er’s side. How could she know what happened?
"You don’t know?"
The head of the Zui Family was furious. How could she not know if Zui Yichun had angered the emperor?
"You went with Chun’er, how could you not know?"
"I..."
Madam Zui parted her lips.
"I entered the palace at that ti. That wretched Zui Yiming had the palace maids stop Chun’er at the gate, preventing her from entering with . Later, I really don’t know what happened.
I’m wondering if it’s because Chun’er often spoke ill of Niang Yiming at the palace gate, boasting about becoming empress herself. Perhaps these words were overheard by the guards and reported to the emperor?"
"What?!"
The head of the Zui Family was taken aback and raised his hand to slap Madam Zui.
"You fool! Chun’er is immature, but aren’t you mature enough to know better? Do you think it’s okay to talk recklessly outside the palace gates? Don’t you want to live anymore?"
"I..."
Madam Zui, having been slapped by her own husband, grimaced in pain but didn’t dare retort.
"I also didn’t expect that the guards at the palace gate would be so talkative. And the emperor... isn’t he busy with state affairs? How would he have ti to listen to the guards’ gossip? The palace gate is far from the emperor."
After all, it was those talkative guards at the palace gate. If she ever gained power, she would definitely deal with each one of them, leaving none.
"You—"
The head of the Zui Family was nearly faint with rage.
Weren’t those people at the palace gate the emperor’s people? Even a few careless words could reach the emperor’s ears, let alone talk about the empress and wanting to replace Zui Yiming to beco empress herself?
"How could I possibly have such a foolish daughter? She thinks of becoming empress without even entering the palace? Truly, she must be capable, huh? Why doesn’t she think of becoming the empress dowager instead?!"
Doesn’t she know that the emperor is currently fond of the empress? Even when the officials wanted to select concubines for the emperor, he vehently opposed it.
Zui Yichun actually dared to speak ill of the empress at the palace gate. She must truly not value her own life.
"Head of the family, now is not the ti to scold Chun’er. We need to quickly think of a way to rescue Chun’er," Madam Zui reminded.
The incident has already occurred. What use is there in scolding Chun’er now? First, we must save her.
"It’s all that wretched Zui Yiming’s fault. I pleaded with her to bring Chun’er out of Quan Palace and let her stay in her own palace, yet she refused. She even said having Chun’er stay in her palace would belittle Chun’er.
I only said that to elevate our Chun’er’s status, and she dared use my words against , truly outrageous... ah!"
Listening to Madam Zui’s endless complaints, the head of the Zui Family could stand it no longer and slapped her away.
"You fool, fool!"
How could he have such a foolish wife? And to think he once believed she was decent enough to manage the Zui Family’s internal matters.
Who would have known, she was such an idiotic woman.
