Chapter 288. Backstab from Fang Zhou
On the sickbed, Emperor George slowly opened her eyes.
"Mother Empress!"
Qiao Sen exclaimed with joy, almost in tears, like a bullied child.
As long as the Mother Empress regains her health, Di Ao, this rebel, can be completely eliminated. With her reckless actions during this time, no emperor with a normal intellect could tolerate it.
Emperor George’s eyes rolled vacantly, seemingly still in a state of confusion, and she instinctively attempted to sit up.
Qiao Sen quickly supported Emperor George, helping her sit up straight from the bed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The ministers promptly knelt down. The emperor had been ill for almost a full year, most of the time unconscious, barely regaining consciousness, let alone being able to sit up.
Di Ao did not kneel but merely bowed, as she was the adopted daughter of the emperor and did not need to kneel.
Yu Qing and the others were curiously observing this emperor, who had past dealings with the Heavenly Sword Sect. Her appearance bore a seventy-to-eighty percent resemblance to Qiao Sen, yet she was more imposing, possessing an innate majesty.
The ministers could not hear the emperor’s voice and thought she was too enraged to speak, scared to lift their heads, their hearts even more uneasy.
