Chapter 72: The Frustrated Layman Jiaxuan (Vll)
Han Tuozhou still had great doubts and asked Zhang Zongyin, "Can it work?"
Zhang Zongyin showed a mysterious look and said, "When have I ever been wrong? Sir, just put your heart back in your stomach and wait patiently for good news."
While talking, Guan Li had already arrived at Cifu Palace. He rushed in without waiting for the maid to report, and knelt down in front of the empress dowager with a "gudong".
Han Tuozhou and Zhang Zongyin's two days of taking turns to ask for an audience and persuade the empress dowager had actually had a certain effect. She dismissed the maids and eunuchs and was thinking about what to do alone. Guan Li's rash kneeling suddenly pulled her back from her thoughts.
When the Queen Mother saw Guan Li barging in without anyone notifying her, she was even more annoyed. She could not help but scolded him with a frosty face: "Guan Li, why are you so rude? How dare you break into my bedroom? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
Guan Li did not speak, but raised his tearful face and looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was originally fond of Guan Li. This scolding was just out of the majesty of the master of the harem. She was also angry and wanted to find someone to vent her anger. She did not really mean to blame him. When she saw Guan Li like this, she thought Guan Li was scared. Her anger disappeared all of a sudden. She asked softly: "What's wrong? Did you get into trouble?"
