Chapter 1619: Chapter 1619 You’re Not Worthy

"It’s... it’s not, it is, it’s Her Highness Princess Consort Lian’s," the eunuch bearing the imperial edict said.

"Tsk."

His words successfully elicited a scornful laugh from Zhen Wu.

"Her Highness Princess Consort Lian’s benevolent edict, huh?"

"Right, it’s Her Highness Princess Consort Lian’s benev..."

"Pah!"

Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Zhen Wu spat out loudly.

"Since when, aside from the Empress Dowager and the Empress, could those low-ranking concubines in Wei State issue edicts to others, let alone ’benevolent edicts’? Aren’t they afraid of making the people of the other nations laugh their teeth off!"

The eunuch bearing the edict: "..."

Oh no, what to do, the words of this head of the guards were so on point.

Apart from the Empress Dowager and the Empress, no matter how favored other concubines in the palace were, they were still just concubines; how could they possibly have the authority to draft any ’benevolent edict’?

"Still Her Highness? Princess Consort Lian is just Princess Consort Lian; what ’Her Highness’? Do you eunuchs in the palace not even understand the rules anymore?"

Seeing that the eunuch bearing the edict didn’t speak, Zhen Wu didn’t wish to give him a chance to speak either and spat lightly again.

"In the palace there is the Empress Dowager, the Empress can be called ’Her Highness’, outside the palace, there are the principal wives of various princes’ mansions, who can be called ’Her Highness’. Princess Consort Lian? She dares to call herself ’Her Highness’? Heh."

The eunuch bearing the edict took a deep breath, nearly suffocated by these words.

Indeed, what Zhen Wu had said was correct, as per the regulations set by the Ministry of Rites.

But in this day and age, for the eunuchs and palace maids to flatter the nobility, which noble person wasn’t addressed as ’Her Highness’?

Even the Emperor himself had not reacted strongly to this matter.

But at Prince Mo’s Mansion, they were directly caught on a fault, and not even allowed through the door.

"Get lost, if you don’t scram now, I, the commander, will let you come in white and go out red!"

"Ah!"

Upon hearing Zhen Wu’s words, the eunuch bearing the edict panicked and fled hastily.

"Tsk."

Zhen Wu watched the fleeing figure of the eunuch and chuckled to himself.

"Such a creature dares to enter Prince Mo’s Mansion to deliver an edict? Daydreaming."

This Princess Consort Lian, who knows what sort of people she keeps around her, one after another, they are almost as good as garbage, no wonder she’s been going downhill in recent years!

...

"What did you say, say it again?!"

Upon hearing the words of her eunuch who had gone out, Princess Consort Lian’s face twisted with ferocity, and she nearly smashed the jade ruyi in her hand.

"Your Highness, the people from Prince Mo’s Mansion are simply too arrogant. They didn’t consider in the slightest whether or not you’re the Emperor’s most favored consort and just said you couldn’t issue orders to Prince Mo’s Mansion, claiming you don’t deserve to be called ’Her Highness’."

The eunuch spoke cautiously to Princess Consort Lian.

"They also said..."

"What else did they say?!"

Princess Consort Lian’s chest heaved violently, as though she was about to explode.

"They said that in the palace, only the Empress Dowager and the Empress have the right to be called ’Her Highness’, and you’re not worthy," the eunuch said.

’Crack!’

Following this was the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

The eunuch looked up to see the jade ruyi that had been in Princess Consort Lian’s hand, now shattered on the floor.

"Sui Zimo, you... well-done Sui Zimo, this palace has underestimated you!" Princess Consort Lian trembled with rage, the hand resting on the table scraping the surface fiercely, leaving several marks.

Now her son had been poisoned, and although he had been treated promptly, the poison had still not been completely removed from his body.

All the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless, so she could only think of Miss Lin, the female doctor from Sui Zimo’s household.
