“Your Majesty, the people in the palace are all managed by you. Wouldn’t her actions make people suspect you?”
Her words had kicked Su Yingxue to the gates of hell.
The Empress was already dissatisfied with her ability to cure Consort Xiang. Now that Su Yurou had provoked her, the Empress wanted to kill this person even more.
“Summon my order, this person was disrespectful to me, kill her immediately!”
The Empress acted decisively without any hesitation.
Su Yingxue raised her head and looked at the Empress. “If Your Majesty kills me, no one will be able to cure Consort Xiang.”
“Hmph, are you the only one who knows medicine and is able to save people in our Great Cheng Dynasty?” The Empress did not take her words to heart at all.
“Even though Your Majesty thinks so, I wonder what the Emperor will think when he hears your words?”
Su Yingxue’s words were like a needle stabbing into the Empress’s heart.
She remembered that in her previous life, the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress was not good. The Empress’s family was strong and powerful. She also had two princes and had very high positions in the palace and court. Therefore, she wantonly harmed the Emperor’s favorite consort. The Emperor had always been dissatisfied with her.
Consort Xiang’s poisoning was also related to her.
If the Emperor knew that it was her who delayed Consort Xiang’s illness, then there would definitely be a huge dispute between the two of them!
The Empress was a woman who needed to rely on the Emperor. If she offended the Emperor too deeply, she would not have a good ending.
Her sharp eyes stared at Su Yingxue. “Are you threatening me?”
“Your Majesty, you can imagine it yourself.”
The Empress was furious. “How dare you!”
Su Yingxue was still kneeling obediently, but the Empress’s killing intent toward her grew stronger. “No matter what, I will take your life today!”
Su Yurou was secretly delighted, but she still maintained her goody-two-shoes act and said softly and timidly, “Your Majesty, please calm down. Don’t hurt your body because of these lowly people.”
Su Yingxue calculated the time. The Emperor should have gone to see Consort Xiang and knew that she was trapped in the Empress’s palace. He would not let her, the only person who could cure Consort Xiang, die here.
“What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the emperor to save you?” The Empress’s smile carried a hint of viciousness. “Let me tell you, even if the Emperor came today, I still won’t let you walk out alive! Men, take off her hat first and let me see who she is, then drag her down and beat her to death!”
Su Yingxue was surrounded by palace servants. Just as she was about to deal with them and stall for time, an even heavier pressure suddenly pressed down on her.
This pressure scared off the people surrounding her, and she suddenly felt much more relaxed.
“I want this person.”
His cold and arrogant voice carried a hint of seductive charm.
Su Yingxue looked sideways and saw Chu Yihan, who was dressed in a black python robe, walking over slowly.
He was covered in moonlight, and his alluring face was shockingly beautiful. The corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile, which was evil and charming.
Even though there was a layer of black veil between them, he could accurately meet her eyes and show her a teasing expression.
Su Yingxue recalled what this person had done to her and could not help but curse him secretly.
Chu Yihan wasn’t so serious when facing Su Yingxue, but when facing others, he was so serious that it was irresistible.
The Empress was still fuming. When she heard Chu Yihan’s words, she became even angrier for no reason. “No! This person offended me, and I will definitely punish her!”
