Chapter 394 - 12.2
The empty cold palace where Empress Xiuying resided was suddenly quite lively at late night. There was an entourage of maids, eunuchs, and guards following a man with a black crimson robe as he and his entourage trampled the wilting flowers in the front garden of the cold palace.
The man stopped right in front of the courtyard gate. He spared a glanced at his eunuch and pointed at the cold palace with his gaze, signalling the eunuch to talk to the owner of the cold palace.
The servant hurriedly went inside the unguarded cold palace. Meilan, who was busy setting up a bed for her Empress, was surprised when a eunuch suddenly barged in and slid the door open brazenly.
"His Majesty is here!" the eunuch said boldly. Ignoring the fact that His Highness Empress Xiuying was currently residing inside the cold palace and was about to sleep. Meilan glared at the eunuch and yelled,
"Don’t you know how to properly request an audience with His Highness?! This is Empress’ courtyard!"
The eunuch stared at the Empress, Empress Xiuying, whose body was so frail, and his skin wasn’t as lustrous as when he first entered the forbidden city. His silky black hair was also unkempt. Overall, even the eunuch didn’t want to admit this person as his Empress.
Concubine Xi deserved that position better, definitely.
The eunuch looked down at Empress Xiuying and said, "I don’t think even his Majesty want to make him an Empress anymore. Don’t worry though, after being stripped of his title, I think he can live in this cold palace until his death. His Majesty is a generous son of the heaven. He will let you live like a leech here forever!"
The eunuch turned his back and walked away arrogantly.
"Hey!" Meilan was about to get up and slapped that eunuch, but before she could do that, Bai Yunyu stopped him.
"Meilan, ignore that eunuch," Yunyu said.
