Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

Chapter 556 Shock, Great Changes in Every Manor

After what had happened in the imperial palace, the Empress had given all the power to manage the imperial harem to Consort Su, and she herself had gone to the Buddha Hall to pray for the dead palace servants and sent most of the rest servants in her palace to other palaces. She looked as if she were completely dedicated to the Buddha and would no longer care about what was happening in the palace.

Once this news came out, everyone got excited.

King Chu was in charge of court affairs, and even though King Xuan would participate in it from time to time, everyone could tell that King Chu was in charge. King Xuan was just an idle prince who would work occasionally. Now Consort Su was in charge of the imperial harem.

King Yan was grounded in his manor, and the Empress no longer meddled in affairs of the imperial harem…

What did this mean? It was worth studying. Countless pairs of eyes in the court were watching these changes!

The Empress Dowager’s Cining Palace was wreathed in smoke. The benevolent Empress Dowager sat in front of the Buddha and muttered something with a string of beads in her hands. The hall was very quiet, and the Jade Buddha consecrated above appeared quieter. He looked at the noble Empress Dowager in front of him calmly, as if he had not seen the agitation on the Empress Dowager’s face that she could not suppress at all.

In the past, the Mind-clearing Incantation was very effective. Even if there were more troubles in her mind, her anger would be suppressed as soon as the Empress Dowager read the Mind-clearing Incantation once. But today, she really could not calm down. She recited the Mind-clearing Incantation again and again, but the agitation in her heart still rushed up again and again, and she could not suppress it even if she wanted to.

In the end, the Empress Dowager suddenly opened her eyes. She turned to Eunuch Yu who was standing by the door and asked, “Is Consort Yu here?”

“Your Majesty, Consort Yu is already here and is resting in the quiet room behind, but…” Eunuch Yu paused, looking a little hesitant.

The Empress Dowager figured it out when she thought of that. Immediately she snorted and asked, “Did Zhen’er come as well?” In her eyes, Consort Yu was a bitch. She was pregnant, but she still tried to seduce Zhen’er. If something would go wrong with the baby in her belly, how could she think of a way to get pregnant again?

“Yes, yes! His Highness has been in the room for a while,” Eunuch Yu said fearfully. He lowered his head and did not dare to say anything else. He had been working for the Empress Dowager, so he naturally knew what the Empress Dowager hated the most. If not for the child in Consort Yu’s belly being useful, the Empress Dowager would not have spared her.

“Get Zhen’er out of the palace as soon as possible. He’s here to visit me, so he can’t stay too long,” the Empress Dowager said coldly, a little dissatisfied with Feng Yuzhen. Although she wanted him to coax Consort Yu, it should not take long. Now, Consort Su was in charge of the imperial harem, and that woman was not easy to get along with.

“Yes, I will urge him,” Eunuch Yu said helplessly. As a matter of fact, he had listened on the sly just now, but the two people inside were making out passionately, and he did not dare to disturb them. Now that he got the Empress Dowager’s order, he could only go over to urge them.

When he arrived at the quiet room at the back of the Empress Dowager’s palace hall, Eunuch Yu could hear a woman’s charming voice and the man’s heavy breathing coming from inside. He really did not know what to say. The two inside were still not over. No wonder the Empress Dowager grew angry. They should be aware of their situation. One of them was pregnant, so it could be said that they were addicted to having a love affair stealthily!

Eunuch Yu knocked on the door and said, “Your Highness, Your Highness, it is getting late. Her Majesty asks you to leave the palace.”

After a while, the two inside the room stopped. Feng Yuzhen straightened out his clothes and walked out with a comfortable look on his face, his hands behind his back. His robe was crumpled, and it was obvious that they were passionate just now, but he didn’t show it on his face. Looking at Eunuch Yu, he nodded as if nothing had happened and said, “Did Grandmother have anything else to tell me?”
