Chapter 1022 - 860, The Death Exemption Token is Missing
"Who are you? You’ve got some nerve to kidnap me!"
Empress Jixian looked both shocked and angry at Mei Lan, who had forcibly brought her to the side hall of Cining Palace: "Do you know who I am? I am Empress Jixian, personally honored by the Emperor."
"Empress Jixian, please remain calm."
Daohua walked in.
Upon seeing Daohua, Empress Jixian’s pupils sharply contracted: "Crown Princess Daohua, what do you mean by this? Have I offended you?"
Daohua smiled: "Your Highness is overreacting. I just saw you looked pale and wanted to ask if you were feeling unwell."
Empress Jixian snorted and glanced at Mei Lan: "Such a way of inquiring about one’s health is quite unacceptable, Crown Princess Daohua."
Daohua smiled again, carefully observing Empress Jixian’s expression: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are necessary. Now that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, if you’re not feeling well, it’s better for you not to enter the main hall. The Imperial Uncle wouldn’t be pleased to see that."
Empress Jixian’s gaze flickered with struggle but quickly returned to composure: "Crown Princess Daohua sure is meddlesome. I am not feeling unwell. All the concubines are visiting the Empress Dowager; I cannot be absent." Saying this, she tried to step out of the side hall.
Daohua looked at Mei Lan, signaling her to stop the woman.
