Chapter 908: Frost Flowers 98

e, and will be back later."Looking at him leave, Feng Lingxi's eyes sank. Could it be that she was really going to spend her life with Dugu CityHe and she will face too many difficulties together in t..."The moon greets the Imperial Noble Consort."

The Imperial Noble Consort Shu walked up to her and, looking at the new furniture being brought in one after another, swept her gaze over them. “What’s going on”

Huanyue's face was slightly pale, she replied, "Empress Dowager Shu, Yue'er wants to change the furniture in this courtyard, it's too old."

"Too old"

The Imperial Noble Consort looked at her, sneered and asked, "From what you say, did everything in your family before all be new, and any old things were all thrown away"

"Huan Yue clutched her handkerchief, too afraid to meet Shu Taifei's gaze. She spoke in a low voice, "Yue'er is just an ordinary woman from the common folk. What we use at home are simply old things."

"Since we've always used old things before, and now you're already squandering even the new items that haven't arrived yet, if this gets out, wouldn't it be a laughingstock Moreover, all the furniture in this house was bestowed by the late emperor. I'm curious, where exactly do these old things offend your eyes"

When Huan Yue heard this, she immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Yue'er knows she was wrong, Yue'er just..."

Tears streamed down her face, Huan Yue's expression of grievance made one feel sympathy for her.

"You mustn't speak like that. Anyone seeing this would think I've done something to you. You should be speaking to me with the same arrogance as before."

"The moon wouldn't dare."

Huan Yue cried very sadly, “The moon only wanted to make the place where the moon and the king lived more warm and cozy.”

"Warm"

"The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "When did I say you were to marry into the Fourth Prince's Residence These days, before you even entered the residence, you've already changed the entire place. The layout of this garden has been altered according to your preferences, even the stone path in the back courtyard has been replaced with hay bales. And those trees in the back courtyard that you dislike, they've all been chopped down. Did I not say so"

Huan Yue’s face was pale, and she looked up at Shu Taifei with tear-filled eyes.

"The moon simply felt that this kind of remodeling would make the palace feel warmer."

“The palace is the palace, not your farm. If you truly like farms, then by all means, go back to live on yours. Also, this palace knows you replaced everything with things that Xi'er loved most, even the chickens and ducks raised in the kitchen, you replaced them all with fish for this palace.”

Huanyue panicked, clutching her fists tightly. Her pale face was streaked with tears.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Yue'er was only…"

"Enough!"

The Noble Consort Shu glared and rebuked, "Let alone your origins, just from what you've done in the past half month, it seems your jealousy is extreme. Though your body is frail, you manage to be constantly busy day and night, truly opening my eyes."

Huan Yue's face grew paler and paler, she unconsciously clenched her fists.

“These past few days, I have endured everything for the sake of our son's affection for you. I have been patient with you again and again. Today, however, you dare to replace things even with those bestowed upon the late emperor. What will you do tomorrow Will you even try to replace me to satisfy your desires”

"The Moon cannot, Imperial Noble Consort please calm your anger. The Moon truly cannot."

Huan Yue cried. Counting the time, Dugu City should return to his residence as well.

As soon as Dugu Cheng entered the mansion, he heard Huan Yue's sobbing. It sounded like she had suffered a great injustice. Dugu Cheng stepped into the courtyard and saw Huan Yue kneeling on the ground, her slender body seeming about to faint at any moment.

"What happened"

Hearing Dugu City's voice, Huan Yue cried even harder, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, making it look as if Shu Taifei had mistreated her.

Such acting, the Empress Dowager Shu truly couldn't bear it.

"Er, about the matters in the back garden, you mustn't interfere."

獨孤城 looked at Huanyue, his eyes filled with a hint of sympathy.

"Mother, what happened What did Yue'er do wrong to be punished"

"The moon, crying urgently, said, "My Lord, this has nothing to do with the noble concubine Shu. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been greedy and followed you back."

Upon hearing this, Dugu City's handsome brows furrowed even tighter. He stepped forward to help Huan Yue up, but Shu Taifei spoke first.

"Cheng'er, if you intervene in this matter today, I will immediately return to the palace."

Dugu Cheng came to a halt, looking at his mother's angry face.

“Mother,” his tone was laced with a hint of helplessness. These days, after bringing Huanyue back, Dugu Cheng had been trying hard to improve the relationship between Huanyue and Shu Taifei, always mediating between them. Therefore, there would be such a scene now.

"Your Majesty," Huan Yue hurriedly said, "it's all my fault. No matter how Concubine Shu punishes me, I am willing to accept it. All I ask is that Concubine Shu won't be angry and won't hold Your Majesty accountable."

Dugu City's eyes were full of pity as he looked at Huan Yue's pale face and spoke, "Mother concubine, Yue'er's body is weak, can she not…"

"Weak"

The Empress Dowager coldly scanned Huan Yue, "This old woman doesn't see where she is weak. Even if she's considered weak, there probably wouldn't be any truly weak women left in the world."

Huan Yue looked at Shu Taifei, her eyes filled with tears, that fragile and pitiful appearance made people feel heartbroken just by looking at it.

"Mother concubine, Yue'er has just arrived and doesn't understand the rules of the mansion. Please be more tolerant."

"Alright."

Shutai concubine unhappily looked at her son, "Don't interfere in the matters of the inner courtyard, I can't even eat her."

Dugu City looked at Huanyue, "The moon rises first."

Huanyue was trying to get up, tears welling in her eyes, but suddenly her body swayed and she fell back. Dugu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to catch her falling body, his voice filled with worry as he shouted, “Quickly call the doctor!”

Hearing the doctor, Huanyue grabbed Dugu Cheng's arm and weakly cried out, "Your Highness, there's no need to trouble yourself, Yue'er's body doesn't need a doctor."

"Moon, how can you be so foolish You're already this weak, why are you still forcing yourself Don't speak, just lie down first."

Huan Yue shook her head, looking at the furniture behind her.

"These…"

"Change them all, change them all!"

Du Gu Cheng's words made Shu Tai Fei unable to bear it any longer, she roared angrily, "Bring her out to me."

The maidservant behind Consort Shu's back had long been displeased with Huan Yue's attitude. Hearing this, she hurried forward, pulling Huan Yue out of Dugu City's arms and grabbing her arm, lifting her up.

"Mother..."

"Get rid of the Fourth Prince for me."

The Empress Dowager was furious, and in this entire manor, who dared disobey her orders Back when the previous emperor had arranged for her personal guards, no one knew how many there were.

Before Dugu City could say anything else, he saw Susu walking over.

"Sister, your future daughter-in-law is truly arrogant and spoiled. She doesn't even regard you, her future mother-in-law, in her eyes. She dares to defy your wishes and, relying on the Fourth Prince's favor, wants to go against you together. How remarkable."

"Before Du Gucheng could say anything else, Ye Xi stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you to enter the palace immediately."

Dugu City looked at Huan Yue's tear-stained face, "How can this king leave when the moon is like this..."

"My lord, the eunuchs in the palace are waiting for you. If you don't go out, I fear that even Lady Yue might suffer."

Dugu Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at Huan Yue, saying to Shu Taifei, “Mother Empress, don’t hurt Yue’er. My life was saved by her.”o and protecting her younger brother. However, it seemed that wasn't the case now.Feng Lingxi knew the situation of the General's Mansion from beginning to end, and she was even more familiar with eve...
