Chapter 1662: Chapter 1662: Immediately Admit Mistakes

Seeing the Empress sitting upright beside the Emperor, the impact on Princess Consort Lian was immense, the blow was definitely more than just a little.

"Why are you here?"

Thus, without hesitation, she directly asked the Empress.

Hearing her question, the Empress simply raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but glance at the Emperor beside her.

Indeed, she saw the Emperor’s complexion change abruptly for the worse.

"Princess Consort Lian, do you not have the Emperor in your eyes? Hmm?"

The Emperor set down the teacup he was holding heavily on the tabletop, staring coldly at Princess Consort Lian.

"Hiss."

Upon hearing the Emperor’s voice, Princess Consort Lian gasped sharply.

She came back to her senses, hurriedly knelt down towards the Emperor, and bowed her head to explain.

"Your Majesty, pardon my offense. I was simply too astonished upon seeing the Empress."

How could she have guessed that the Emperor, in summoning her, would also bring the Empress along? Or was it perhaps not the Emperor’s wish to see her, but rather the Empress’s?

The more excited she had been earlier, the more disappointed she felt now.

She had been fully convinced that the Emperor had a change of heart, or perhaps saw her as better than the other women in the harem, and wanted to begin favoring her again.

Although she hadn’t really been neglected, being summoned to the Imperial Study was a symbol of status.

She was proud, very proud.

She couldn’t wait to boast to all the other women in the imperial palace about being summoned to the Imperial Study by the Emperor.

But when she lifted her head and saw the Empress sitting there, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her, leaving her thoroughly chilled to the core.

"Hmph!"

The Emperor huffed at her coldly.

"Astonished? I think you’re not so much astonished as you are audacious!"

Having listened to the Empress, he had thought in his heart that she was making a fuss over nothing; Princess Consort Lian’s desire to leave the palace a few times was not unreasonable.

Even though it was the Dowager Empress who suggested it, there was no need for the Empress to mention it in front of him.

But now...

Seeing Princess Consort Lian’s demeanor and hearing her so bluntly question the Empress, he suddenly realized that Princess Consort Lian was excessively bold.

"The Empress is the mother of the nation, how can you casually question her? Do you even have the appearance of a consort? Huh?"

"I am aware of my mistake, and I beseech Your Majesty to calm your anger."

Princess Consort Lian knelt on the ground, admitting her fault immediately.

She had just reacted without thinking at the moment and did not expect to be caught red-handed.

And the one who had caught her at fault was not anyone else, not the Empress, but the Emperor himself, the very person who could have turned a blind eye to the matter.

Where had things gone wrong? Why was the Emperor treating her this way?

Was it merely because, on the previous occasion, she had attempted to send Jin’er to Prince Mo’s Mansion without the Emperor’s consent?

But what of it? The child was not sent in the end.

Not because someone she sent had intercepted him, but because Jin’er himself had regained consciousness and did not wish to go.

But they had won in the end, hadn’t they?

"Aware of your mistake?"

The Emperor’s gaze on her grew increasingly strange.

Grinding his teeth as he looked at her, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the Empress, who appeared indifferent and clearly not taking the matter to heart.

Then he turned his head back to look at Princess Consort Lian’s expression.

Though she verbally admitted her fault, where was the look of genuine contrition on her face? She clearly showed no remorse.

It even seemed to him that she had the nerve to challenge the Empress.
