Chapter 2738: Chapter 2738: Such Ingratitude
He sneered inwardly, fearing that this lady thought of Prince Zhan as her junior, didnât she? Yet she didnât even consider whether she was worthy of it!
"Quickly, tell me, who taught you to say those words! Otherwise, if these words reach Prince Zhanâs ears, I canât protect you; even Chengâer canât save you, you fool!"
"I..."
Lady Gong shrank her neck again, unable to help but wonder, is it really that dangerous?
"It was just yesterday when I entered the palace, and while speaking with the Empress Dowager, it was mentioned inadvertently. Isnât the Empress Dowager also just seeking justice for our Chengâer? Master, these are trivial matters, we must let Chengâer return, after all, I have already chosen a bride for him."
She said, climbing up the pole with a certain sense of propriety.
"Shut up!"
Lord Gong shouted angrily at her.
He knew it, someone must have mentioned it to her, thatâs why she spoke like that.
The Empress Dowager is not on the Emperorâs side, like the Retired Emperor, with ambitions like wolves, hoping for instability in the court, and she actually thought the Empress Dowager was right?
"Do you want to see our whole family destroyed before you stop? Who allowed you to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager?"
"Master, what are you talking about? I just missed Chengâer, so I went to beg the Empress Dowager, hoping she could issue a decree to Prince Zhan, letting Chengâer return from Huayan Peak."
Even until now, Lady Gong didnât think she did anything wrong.
"But I never imagined that Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang would be so unappreciative, I just wanted my son to return, on what grounds do they refuse, they simply... ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she was cut off by Lord Gongâs backhand slap that made her cry out in pain.
"Master, you... you hit me?"
Lady Gong looked at Lord Gong in disbelief and asked.
Even though she grew old and faded, even though Lord Gong had a young and beautiful concubine, she had two promising sons, Lord Gong had never laid a hand on her before.
This was the first time, which is why she couldnât believe she had really been hit.
"You fool, if I donât hit you, you wouldnât know what kind of stupid thing youâve done!" Lord Gong tried to restrain himself from jumping up in anger, his old face flushed red with rage.
"Do you know just because you entered the palace, the Empress Dowager has now been sent to the Supreme Palace, from now on, the Empress Dowager probably wonât be able to come out again!"
He lowered his voice and said to Lady Gong.
"What?!"
Lady Gongâs body trembled, startled, she took a step back.
The Empress Dowager was sent to the Supreme Palace? Everyone knows the Retired Emperor was confined in the Supreme Palace, and now the Empress Dowager has gone in, could it be because of the matter she went to ask the Empress Dowager about?
"No... impossible, Master, please donât scare me, I... I did nothing!"
She really did nothing, she just begged the Empress Dowager for a decree, the Empress Dowager didnât promise her, but she heard the Empress Dowager say sheâd discuss it well with the Emperor.
How could it be that in just one day, the Empress Dowager went to the Supreme Palace? When she left yesterday, the Empress Dowager was still in high spirits!
"I donât have time to scare you, Madame Zhao, return to your courtyard, and donât come out unnecessarily, reflect well on what foolish things youâve done, and whether youâve fulfilled what you promised Jianâer!"
Lord Gong said to Lady Gong.
"I..."
Lady Gong opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
