Chapter 138

138 Two big shots

The imperial palace was once again stirred up when they saw that the Grand Dowager Empress actually left her courtyard, everyone knew that the Grand Dowager Empress was someone who stayed in her courtyard in peace and quiet and hardly ever came out. Unless very important or to go against the Dowager Empress, the grand dowager empress will never step out of her palace, for her to make a presence something severe must have happened!

” What is going on? Did the dowager empress make any move?” a maid who was carrying a water bucket looked at the procession of the grand dowager empress that was heading somewhere and then asked the maid who was standing next to her. ” And even the Emperor is with her! What happened?”

” Why are you being so nosy?” The maid who was being asked these questions looked at the woman who was next to her and then pursed her lips before lowering her head and adding swiftly, ” We are just maids who are we talk about what is going on in the imperial palace. And if you were to carefully look at the direction of the procession, you will see that they are heading towards the Empress’s palace, do you want to talk about this matter?”

Everyone still remembered what the Empress had done to the maids who tried to harm her, the fact that she killed two maids in front of the Emperor and even got a confession out of one was enough to let everyone know what kind of woman she was– a woman who feared no one and nothing.

The maid who was asking questions immediately turned silent, she did not want to get involved with the Empress, and even now she was having nightmares after listening to the account of what happened with the two maids.

The procession of the Grand Dowager Empress arrived at the palace of the Empress, when the guards of the Empress saw the two great figures of the imperial palace arrive at the same time at the Empress’s palace they were stunned.

One of the guards looked at the sun to make sure that it was the sun that was shining in the sky and not the moon, why was it that the Grand dowager Empress and the Emperor coming to visit the Empress? Was the world still moving as it was supposed to?

The guards were stunned and the people in the procession were just as stunned, they still could not believe that they were asked to come to the Empress’s palace. Even now when they were standing in front of the palace of the Empress, they were still not back to their senses.

” What are you waiting for?” The grand dowager empress asked when she saw that the guards were staring at her in surprise, she was a bit embarrassed that she has made her distaste for the Empress so known to everyone that even the guards knew that she did not like the Empress. ” Are you waiting for us to get down and open the door by ourselves?”

.....

Back then she had thought that she did not need to worry about the Empress at all but now that she needed the queen’s help, her past actions were coming on her like raining slaps. The guards looked like this was like a reminder of what she has done and now that she needed the help of the queen, she could not help but think about what was going to happen to her.

The guards snapped out of their daze and immediately opened the door of the palace allowing the procession of the Grand Dowager Empress to enter the palace of the Empress.

” What is going on?” Nanny Gong was already having enough worries on her plate, with his granddaughter who was getting sicker day by day and with the personality of her missy changing from a sweet young girl to a messy troublemaker was bad enough to make her hair strands turn grey and now Lord Zhai came looking for her.

That was bad enough and now there was noise coming from the entrance of the palace.

She turned to look at Qui Ai and for the hundredth time asked, ” Why did you let him inside? You know how the Queen is, she will definitely offend him and the last thing we want is the eldest brother of the Emperor getting offended at us as well!”

Qui Ai was wronged, she wanted to say that there was no way that she would be able to stop Lord Zhai who was the elder brother of the Emperor. If her majesty has allowed him to enter then what could she have done?

But she still pursed her lips and let Nanny Gong scold her after all she was her junior and there was nothing she could do. Qui Ai could not do anything but Li Gang who has become bored with Zhai Heng and Liu Hui Ying’s conversation flew out of the main hall, when he saw Qui Ai being scolded, he looked at Nanny Gong and immediately snapped at her, ” What do you mean by this? What could have little Ai done when such a big shot like Zhai Heng came knocking on the door?”

He hovered next to nanny Gong who could not even see him much less hear him and continued chattering while Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen also peeked out of the wall when they heard Li Gang scolding someone, they thought that another ghost came looking for them but now that they were looking at Li Gang who was getting angry at nanny Gong for the sake of Qui Ai and shook their heads before Jia Li scoffed, ” Love has gotten to his head.”

” He has always been a little foolish when it comes to love anyway,” commented Grandma Lan Fen as the two of them snuck back into the room.

No sooner did they snuck back in the room, The grand dowager empress and the Emperor appeared at the end of the corridor when the two of them appeared, Nanny Gong was the first to see the two of them and immediately felt her knees go weak.

Lord Zhai still haven’t left, so who called these two big shots here?
