Chapter 1106: Chapter 1111: Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng (2)

Empress Dowager Mo, red in the eyes, laughed and said, "Empress Dowager, what great authority you wield! Now even the palace must listen to you. Well, could you please send over two more instructing old palace maids to educate me as well? Would that be good?"

"Imperial Mother speaks too seriously, I dare not."

Cai Wei coldly said, "Imperial Mother insists on favoring Zhao Yue, there’s nothing I can do. However, such indulgence and doting will ultimately harm her. By then, it will be too late for Imperial Mother to regret..."

Empress Dowager Mo gritted her teeth, "Harm her? Are you cursing her? I’m merely forbidding you from provoking her, how would that harm her? As for regrets, the thing I regret the most is that I agreed to let you, a poisonous woman, enter the palace. As a wife, you do not think of honoring your mother-in-law or treating your younger aunt kindly. Instead, you bewitch your husband, inciting him to be unkind, unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial. A poisonous woman like you should be thrown into the Cold Palace, never to see the light of day again..."

Upon being cursed so viciously, Cai Wei became angry. She abruptly stood up, interrupting Empress Dowager Mo’s scolding, and exclaimed loudly, "At today’s banquet scene, it was not only Zhao Yue and I present. Why wouldn’t Imperial Mother investigate clearly before scolding me, carelessly imposing the crime of provoking my younger aunt on me, subjecting me to all kinds of humiliation? Imperial Mother’s actions are truly unjust, and I cannot accept this!"

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on the verge of clashing and about to fight,

Nangong Yi hurriedly grabbed his wife’s hand to prevent her from clashing with his own mother. At that moment, he felt the difficulty of being a man caught between his wife and mother. To prevent the situation from worsening, he turned to Empress Dowager Mo and quickly said, "Imperial Mother, no matter what, Zhao Yue has indeed made a mistake that cannot be denied. Considering it’s her first offense, please spare her this time. However, if she commits another offense, we will settle new and old accounts together and punish her severely. It’s already late today; Imperial Mother, please go back to rest. Your son must attend the Morning Assembly tomorrow, so I shall take my leave."

Having said all this in one breath, he grabbed Cai Wei’s hand and ran out.

Empress Dowager Mo, pointing in the direction where Nangong Yi had vanished, trembled with anger.

"Unfilial son, poisonous woman..."

Luo Xue hurried forward, gently patting Empress Dowager Mo’s chest, helping her to catch her breath.

"Empress Dowager, please calm your anger, your health is important. If you get too upset, wouldn’t that play right into the hands of those malicious people..."

After gasping for a while, Empress Dowager Mo said with difficulty, "This matter is not over yet, wait until tomorrow... return to the palace... "

Everyone had left, and Nangong Yu, gazing at his mother sitting on a palanquin, murmured, "Sister Luo Xue, tell me, am I being very unfilial by deceiving Imperial Mother like this?"

Luo Xue said, "Princess, don’t be so hard on yourself. Helping Empress Dowager remove Empress Mu, this scourge to the nation, and restoring order is an excellent deed. If you truly feel guilty about deceiving Imperial Mother, just wait until you are married to Young Master Zi Qi and honor her greatly."

Mentioning marrying Mo Ziqi, all the guilt in Nangong Yu’s heart vanished instantly, and his anticipation rose again, his expressions becoming resolutely firm.

"Yes, then we must hasten our pace. In a few days, Tuotuo and the others will be returning..."

...*...*...

Nangong Yi took Cai Wei back home, and despite Cai Wei being extremely angered, luckily Nangong Yi was good at coaxing. On the way back, he spoke sweetly and managed to gradually calm Cai Wei’s fiery temper.

After appeasing his daughter-in-law, Nangong Yi was overjoyed, looking forward to another memorable night. As soon as they returned to Chengqian Palace, he rushed eagerly to the Cleansing Room to bathe. Seeing his sprint-like enthusiasm, Cai Wei felt a shiver in her heart...
