Chapter 1092 - 1095 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Face Off (2)
"Meng Huaian, go call your master out here!"
Empress Dowager Mo commanded with a cold voice. Meng Huaian was the chief eunuch she personally selected for Chengqian Palace, his appearance one of loyalty and honesty; he shouldn’t have betrayed her so quickly.
To her surprise, Meng Huaian ’splash’ kneeled down, continually kowtowing and begging, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor explicitly decreed before going to court that the Empress Dowager is not to be disturbed, allowing her to wake naturally, your servant... your servant dares not defy the decree..."
Having said that, he started kowtowing ’thud thud thud’ towards Empress Dowager Mo.
Empress Dowager Mo was so angered she laughed, "Hehe, such preciousness befits the Empress indeed, truly exalted!"
Stepping down from the phoenix palanquin, she stormed off directly towards Cai Wei’s sleeping chamber, "Since you all dare not disturb her, this palace will do it personally. I shall see if the Emperor will punish this palace for waking his Empress!"
Huan Qiu and Chun Liu stayed inside to wait upon her, hearing the commotion outside and knowing things were not good. Huan Qiu quickly moved aside, planning to find an opportunity to seek the Emperor for help, while Chun Liu stayed to watch, ensuring their mistress would not be bullied by the Empress Dowager.
The sleeping chamber was utterly quiet.
A strong scent spread through the air, and the chamber was in disarray...
Towels, handkerchiefs were carelessly thrown on the floor, and two delicate embroidered shoes were scattered one to the east, one to the west, three or four meters apart. On the intricately carved dragon bed, Empress Mu lay sprawling with her legs up in the air, fast asleep without any hint of genteelness. Exposed legs extending from the bedding were bruised in shades of blue and purple, a clear sign something had happened.
Her son, poised and stable, heir to the world, unexpectedly worshiped at this woman’s feet!
