C681 681 Mother and child dispute

"The emperor has arrived!"

Before the empress dowager could finish, she was interrupted by a sharp voice.

The empress dowager's expression sank even further as he looked at Dong Xue's embarrassed face. He sneered and said, "Did you see that, Wailing Home's son was worried that Wailing Home would make things difficult for that demon woman, and had never seen him run so hard in Wailing Home before. When he heard that the Wailing Home wanted to pass her down, he personally escorted his here."

Dong Xue knew that the empress dowager had spoken out of anger, and now that the emperor had come back himself, she was afraid that the mother and son would get into a dispute, so she quickly comforted her, "Empress Dowager, please don't think like this. The emperor is your son, isn't it natural for him to come to see you?"

The empress dowager glanced at her unhappily. "Don't speak up for him. Don't you know about Wailing Home's son, the Wailing Home?"

Right at this moment, Kaiser had already accompanied Yun Jiao Rong in, and his hand was tightly holding onto Yun Jiao Rong's hand. When he came in, the empress dowager's gaze fell on their interlocked hands, and Yun Jiao Rong immediately noticed her gaze and shook off his hand. He kneeled down and saluted, "maidservant Yun Jiao Rong greets the empress dowager."

"Your son greets mother."

The empress dowager might have been angry, but she endured it in the end, her face unsightly. "Exempt from the formalities, get up."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Yun Jiao Rong stood up shakily, stood to the side and waited for the empress dowager to speak.

The empress dowager looked at her, then looked at Kaiser and smiled, "Why would I think of coming to see you today?"

Yan Shuo didn't know why, but it seemed that he didn't like everyone either. The empress dowager had clearly asked a very simple question, but Yan Shuo could tell that it had a piercing taste to it.

"This son thinks of mother now, and just so happens to hear that mother wanted to send Rong Er here to question us, so I came with her. This mother won't blame this son, right?"

The empress dowager's smile stiffened as she looked at Yan Shuo in astonishment.

The empress dowager knew that her son was always unhappy that she didn't like Yun Jiao Rong, but he had never asked her this directly before. Hearing these words now made the empress dowager feel uncomfortable.

Dong Xue was also a little surprised at the side. The emperor never spoke to the empress dowager in this way.

Worried that the empress dowager would be angry, she quickly said, "Why would the empress dowager blame you? You've come to see the empress dowager, and it's not too late for her to be happy."

Yan Shuo's eyes suddenly swept across Dong Xue and her face sunk. "When will we have a place for a lowly servant like you to interrupt when we speak to the empress dowager?"

Dong Xue's face paled and she quickly kneeled. The empress dowager's expression also changed as she looked at her son in surprise.

Dong Xue was an old man by her side. As the empress dowager's personal servant, she had watched Kaiser grow up, and because of this relationship, Kaiser had always been polite to her.

Furthermore, what Dong Xue had just said did not offend him at all. How could Kaiser …

The empress dowager's face grew more and more unsightly. If she scolded Dong Xue like this, wouldn't it just be smacking her mother's face?

"Men, pull this lowly slave out and shoot her with a staff!"

With this order, everyone in longevity palace was shocked. The empress dowager immediately stood up from her chair, her voice unconsciously rising higher. "What is Kaiser doing? The person who attacked the Wailing Home, do you still not put the Queen, Wailing Home, in your eyes!? "

The empress dowager immediately went up to Yan Shuo, "Dong Xue, get up!"

Yan Shuo's gaze turned deep as he shot a stern gaze at the empress dowager. His voice sounded as if it had been coated with a layer of ice.

The empress dowager clenched her teeth, her entire body shaking in anger. "Did the emperor come all the way here to kill the Wailing Home with his staff because he's dissatisfied with the Wailing Home?"

"Muhou …"

The light in Yan Shuo's eyes deepened bit by bit, and the fierceness in his eyes grew more and more obvious.

"What happened?"

It was at this time that Liu Ruo Qing's voice sounded out, breaking the tense atmosphere between mother and son.

Liu Ruo Qing walked in and saw Dong Xue kneeling on the ground with a pale face. The mother and son pair of and the empress dowager were at loggerheads again.

Looks like what Yan Yuan said was right, there was indeed something wrong with the Kaiser!

Her gaze calmly swept across Kaiser's face, then she went over to the empress dowager's side and quietly tugged on the empress dowager's sleeve. The empress dowager looked at her, and when she looked at her with a meaningful gaze, the empress dowager understood what was going on and turned to allow Dong Xue to stand up.

Liu Ruo Qing walked in front of the emperor and smiled, "The Emperor has not seen you for a few days, he's becoming more and more valiant."

At the same time that she was talking to Kaiser, her eyes remained calm and collected as she continued to size Kaiser up. In the next second, she seemed to have realized something and her eyes flashed.

When Liu Ruo Qing praised the Kaiser, the latter would naturally not be angry. It was as if she had forgotten about her displeasure with the empress dowager just now as she said with a smile, "Why has the Ninth Aunt come to the palace? We haven't seen Brother Heng for a long time.

Liu Ruo Qing suppressed the shock in her heart and laughed: "Heng Er knows that Big Brother Kaiser likes him this much. He must be crying and making a ruckus to enter the palace, but …"

She covered her mouth and gave a vague smile. "The Emperor likes children so much, why not have one with a delicate face?"

But Kaiser was very happy to hear it. As long as it was related to Yun Jiao Rong, Kaiser would feel comfortable to listen to it, especially on such a topic.

Liu Ruo Qing was a modern man, it was nothing to say such a question, but Yun Jiao Rong blushed when he heard it.

Kaiser was happy to hear it, and the strict atmosphere around them started to soften because of Liu Ruo Qing's words. Kaiser also forgot to deal with Dong Xue, and started to laugh loudly, "Ninth Aunt is better off not saying anymore, since Rong Er will be shy. Look at her face, it's even reddened."

Liu Ruo Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Indeed, when the pleasant words reached Kaiser's heart, she was happy.

When she was outside just now, and heard that the Kaiser was going to kill Dong Xue with a staff, as well as hearing the empress dowager's disrespectful words, she felt that something was amiss.

Hearing Yan Shuo say that Yun Jiao Rong had blushed again, she looked towards Yun Jiao Rong with an extremely cooperative expression. When Yun Jiao Rong saw her gaze, he suddenly felt guilty and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Even though Liu Ruo Qing was smiling, even though her eyes were warm, it made Yun Jiao Rong feel that she was being too aggressive, as though she had seen through everything.

Liu Ruo Qing retracted her gaze without batting an eyelid, and continued smiling, "That's right, a pretty face is always shy, I won't tease you guys."

She had never thought that one day, she would look at Yun Jiao Rong with such a complicated and contradictory mood. She had once seen Yun Jiao Rong as the most intimate friend of this era, where they had both gone through hardships together and helped each other. There were even several times when she hoped that she would be able to cultivate to the best of her abilities with the Kaiser.
