Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This was strange. The Empress Dowager had just looked down on her a moment ago. So how could she have changed her mind so quickly? Her attitude had changed faster than flipping the pages of a book.
Without waiting for Princess Xuehua to speak again, Xiao Yan’s sharp gaze swept over like a sharp blade.
Just one glance contained boundless power, which scared Princess Xuehua into instant silence. All the words that were not spoken were stuck in her throat.
“Princess Xuehua deliberately framed the Empress Dowager. Drag her out and punish her with thirty lashes.” Xiao Yan commanded without even looking up.
Princess Xuehua was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. Then, she was dragged away forcefully by the guards.
“Qianqian, come here quickly,” The Empress Dowager called Su Qian over, her face beaming with a smile like a bright chrysanthemum.
“Did the Empress Dowager have any orders?” Su Qian was full of confusion. Just as she was about to bow, she was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
“Good child, you must be tired after copying the scriptures for so long, right? There’s good tea and snacks here. Take a break and have something to eat.” The Empress Dowager said apologetically, “It was my fault just now. I shouldn’t have punished you for copying the scriptures.”
“Empress Dowager, why did you suddenly say such things?” Su Qian looked at the Empress Dowager, then at Xiao Yan. She felt that there must be something between the grandmother and grandson that they were hiding from her!
“Nothing, I just think you’re a good child. I was wrong about you before. Nanny Jin, go prepare some gifts for Su Qian to take back. Just treat it as my compensation for her.” The Empress Dowager was afraid that Su Qian would refuse, so she continued to persuade her with a pleading tone, “You must not refuse me. If you do it, it means that you re still resenting me for what happened earlier.”
“1 dare not.” Su Qian was very uncomfortable facing the overwhelming enthusiasm of the Empress Dowager. She could only look at Xiao Yan again and again, using her eyes to ask what he had done.
Xiao Yan cleared his throat. “Imperial Grandmother, Qianqian is tired. How about letting me send her back? ”
“Alright, go ahead.11 The Empress Dowager held Su Qian’s hand and patted it reluctantly. “Su Qian, I’m lonely in the palace. Remember to come and visit me often when you’re free.”
“Yes.” Su Qian nodded and left with a dumbfounded expression.
As they left the Empress Dowager’s palace, Su Qian couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say to the Empress Dowager?”
Xiao Yan manipulated the wheelchair. The brilliant sunlight shone down from the sky, illuminating the mask on his face. “I don’t understand what you mean,” he said.
“Stop acting clueless with me. Earlier, the Empress Dowager was determined to dissolve our engagement, but her attitude changes as soon as you came. It can be seen that you must have said something to her.” Su Qian looked at the man in front of her warily, as if he were a fox, and stopped in her tracks coldly.”What did you say?”
Dong Ting and the other hidden guards stood not far away, drenched in cold sweat.
Did Miss Su had some guts, huh? How dare she question his highness!
However, what surprised Dong Ting and the other hidden guards was that Xiao Yan wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he looked at Su Qian calmly and smiled. “This is a secret between me and Imperial Grandmother. How can I tell you so easily?”
“Then what will make you willing to tell me?” Su Qian asked with patience, even though she could see the cunningness in the man’s eyes.
“Give me some benefits,” Xiao Yan said bluntly. When he saw Su Qian looking at him with a puzzled expression, he raised his hand even more directly and pointed at his own soft lips like petals..
