Chapter 1095: Chapters 1098-1100 Miss Got Beaten (2)

As she spoke, she casually picked up a jade bracelet from the dressing table and placed it on her wrist, saying, "This is a reward for you, you must not speak of this to anyone. You haven’t slept for two nights, have you? Look, your dark circles are showing. Go back and get some sleep..."

Chun Liu pursed her lips, giving Cai Wei a pitiful glance, and reluctantly stepped back. Even though her mistress had rewarded her with a jade bracelet, she still could not feel happy, sobbing softly, "Mistress got beaten..."

After dismissing Chun Liu, she called Xiao Zhi to come in and help her with her makeup and dress.

She was already awake, and therefore had no excuse to avoid meeting those madams, although she disliked such social obligations. However, as she was the Empress and for the sake of her man, she had to face such occasions.

Since it was a meeting with the madams of the full court and the female relatives of the imperial family, Cai Wei dressed according to protocol in the Empress’s phoenix robe.

The phoenix robe featured a crossed collar and wide sleeves in bright yellow, embroidered with eight lively-colored phoenixes in gold thread. The hem featured sea waves and cliff patterns, rich and splendid.

On her head, she wore a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, a piece only the Empress could wear. The hairpin’s nine dancing phoenix tails and the feathers were set with green gemstones. A few whiskers sprouted from the front of the phoenix tails, and the beak clutched strands of pearls, shimmering splendidly. When worn, it fell perfectly on her forehead, with small phoenix hairpins on either side holding three strands of pearls, extremely luxurious and majestic.

After her attire was set, the phoenix palanquin outside had already been prepared. Holding Xiao Zhi’s hand for stability, she steadily boarded the phoenix chariot, heading to Shuntian Hall to receive the salutations from the female relatives of the imperial ancestors and the madams...

The Empress Dowager Mo had already been ordered by her son to return to Jade Palace. Thinking of Cai Wei’s arrogance and her son’s partiality made the Empress Dowager infuriated, sitting alone on the couch shedding tears. As she wallowed in her sorrow, Chen Shangxi came to report, "Empress Dowager, Princess Zhao Yue has arrived."

Nangong Yu, upon hearing that his imperial mother had angrily gone to Chengqian Palace early in the morning, could not rest easy and did not dare to go there himself to upset his emperor brother, so he had been keeping watch and hurried over as soon as he knew she had returned to find out what had happened.

Upon entering, Nangong Yu immediately noticed his mother’s unusual state and asked in surprise, "Imperial Mother, why are you crying?"

The Empress Dowager, feeling very wronged and seeing her daughter inquire, could not help but feel a pang in her heart and tears flowed again. She said, "Back then, the three of us mothers and daughters depended on each other under the persecution of Jin Guifei and her son. For your elder brother to rise to power, Imperial Mother did so many unconscionable deeds, completely disregarding karma and retribution, only hoping for the day he would rule the world so we could live a proud life. Who would have thought, after enduring until he finally ascended, he... for another woman, would hurt me like this..."

By the end, the Empress Dowager was sobbing uncontrollably...

She was usually cold in temperament and rarely showed her emotions so explicitly. Even when Nangong Yi went to war, when Nangong Yu was forced into a marriage alliance, when she herself was under house arrest and tormented by the servants, her emotions were never so intense. Now, she cried like a child, gasping for breath between sobs.

Nangong Yu pressed her lips together and said, "It’s all because of that woman, who has thus bewitched brother, and her seductive fox of a younger sister, who has also bewildered Brother Zi Qi utterly. Those sisters, not a single good thing about them..."

"Ah—"

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply and fell silent. She agreed with her daughter’s opinion and truly wished she could depose that woman and send her to the Cold Palace.

But that woman was Emperor Tian’s daughter, and even if Empress Dowager Mo were lent two more guts, she would not dare to do so. Moreover, the unfilial son was protecting her closely, not allowing her to make a move.
