Chapter 124: Making the Best of a Mistake
Qi Yu hurriedly crawled forward two steps and directly kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"Empress, please calm your anger, we servants do not know what we have done to make you so angry. My life is not worth sparing, but angering you is a serious matter." Qi Yu said sincerely and fearfully, his heart pounding loudly. He almost wished he could rip it out.
Xiao Yuehua glanced at Qi Yu on the ground; her chest heaving with emotion. If she hadn’t been unable to find this woman, she wouldn’t just be making empty threats; she would have dealt with her directly.
A courtesan?
It was absurd to think about. The esteemed Crown Prince had fallen for a courtesan. If this were to get out, where would the face of the Crown Prince be, and where the dignity of the Royal Family?
She had always considered Fu Xun a sensible and steady child. She hadn’t expected that at such a critical time, he would commit such a grave mistake. Seeing that the Emperor’s life was hanging by a thread, and there weren’t many days left, the Crown Prince should be preparing to inherit the throne and ascend to the emperorship. If at this time, leverage was obtained by others, would Noble Consort Wen let it go, and what about Prince Duan and Prince Ling?
Nanny Zheng immediately stepped forward. "Your Highness, don’t just focus on your anger, we need to attend to the pressing matters. Besides, the handle has not been grasped, right? Yue Ke wasn’t certain either."
Xiao Yuehua glanced at Qi Jin and Qi Yu on the ground. Qi Jin had consciously crawled two steps and kneeled next to Qi Yu, looking baffled. What had he just said?
Right, right, he said nothing.
