Chapter 534: Chapter 533: How Could This Kind of Thing Be Mistaken? _1

Even though she is a Lady of Fourth Rank, beating her to death would be somewhat difficult to explain before His Majesty. But right now we are in the Empress’s sleeping chamber, and everyone around is the Empress’s people.

Even if His Majesty were to question this, it would just take some effort in verbal explanation and maneuvering. Eventually, it will be left unresolved.

At this moment, it seems the Empress already possesses a killing intent. As a servant, we naturally have to obey our master’s orders.

The eunuch on duty outside the door got the orders, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Su Pan’er directly, and was about to drag her out!

Su Pan’er angrily glared at the Empress with her eyes standing on end, ready to defend herself, when a sharp vocal proclamation sounded from outside the palace.

"Announcing to the Empress, Imperial Consort Hua has arrived!"

Imperial Consort Hua is coming? The long-silent Empress raised an eyebrow, and after setting down the tea cup, she gave orders in a calm tone.

"Invite her in."

"The Empress wishes to see Imperial Consort Hua."

The sharp voice rang out again.

Next, a graceful beauty appeared in the Empress’s sleeping chamber.

Imperial Consort Hua is as beautiful as Su Pan’er imagined. Time has not left too many traces on her face.

She was wearing a large peony green silk gown with a light yellow pear blossom skirt draping along the ground, also draped with a long golden-silver tulle scarf on her body.

Her high thickly coiled hair was adorned with a jade hairpin inlaid with emerald of dragon eye size, constantly slightly swinging along her movement of looking around, the scattered fine pearls on the hairpin shimmering silver light.

She was truly beautiful and noble.

She glanced at Su Pan’er, who was being held by two eunuchs, turned her head with a light laugh and approached the Empress to pay her respects.

"Sister, I’m here to pay my respects! Sister, what’s causing you to be this upset today, even to the point of corporal punishment? I heard that my niece came to visit sister. I was busy preparing gifts for the Empress, so I was a bit late. I hope you won’t mind!"

Speaking, she went in front of the Empress and gracefully kneeled down.

A hint of disappointment flashed through the Empress’s eyes, she knew, today’s plan to get rid of Su Pan’er was impossible!

However, to let go of that damn girl just like that is also impossible!

She gave a faint smile as if nothing was wrong.

"Imperial Consort Hua, please get up. This place is my sleeping chamber; there’s no need to be so formal. We can do without all these formalities!"

Her face was full of smiles, then turning with a curious look, she asked, "This young lady is your niece? Could it be that sister heard it wrong? I thought your niece was... how can another niece show up? Could you have been deceived by someone with ulterior motives? Sister, you need to check this carefully."

Su Pan’er did notice, although Imperial Consort Hua was older than her, she also had fox eye-shaped eyes and looked somewhat similar to her.

If they went out and said they were sisters, people might believe it.

"Sister, you really have a way with words. How could I make a mistake with this kind of thing?"

Imperial Consort Hua giggled, full of charm and captivating:"At the moment, His Majesty is meeting Great General Ye and my niece’s husband in the Conference Hall. It’s said that His Majesty is very pleased and full of praise for my niece’s husband!"

"Oh? Is that so? Then, I must congratulate you, sister, for having such a wonderful niece again!"

The Empress was beaming, but her eyes were as cold as winter, full of frost.

Imperial Consort Hua didn’t persist in the matter, her eyes twinkling as she flashed an enchanting smile.

"Many thanks, Sister! I acquired a small trinket some time ago and wanted to present it to you, but I have been prevented by your illness and the sealed palace doors from calling on you. I’ve just now learnt that you can receive visitors, so I hurriedly came over. I also brought with me that trinket, a small token of my affection. I do hope you don’t find it disagreeable."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Eunuch Shunzi, who was standing behind her, promptly stepped forward and reverently handed a sophisticated little box to Granny Hu.

Granny Hu took the box, opened it to reveal a jadeite cabbage inside, entirely green and roughly the size of two fists held together. The moment the box was opened, the radiant glow outshone everyone’s sight!

Such an invaluable item was given away by Imperial Consort Hua so casually!

It was obviously given to save herself. Now she was thoroughly indebted for this favor.

Su Pan’er felt a feeling of unease, inexplicably suffocated!

The Empress merely glanced at it indifferently, a reluctant smile barely lifting the corners of her mouth: "Your sister’s consideration is appreciated. Just leave it here."

Imperial Consort Hua beamed!

She then bent in a curtsy, smiling sweetly, "As long as Sister likes it. You look a bit pale today, Sister. I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll take my leave."

"You’ve been thoughtful, Sister. I’m feeling unwell today, so won’t keep you."

The Empress let out an indifferent smile, yet her gaze never sidelined Su Pan’er for a moment.

Even as Imperial Consort Hua led Su Pan’er to bid farewell and depart, Su Pan’er still felt uneasy all over. That snake-tongue-like gaze seemed to follow her like a shadow...

Imperial Consort Hua walked Su Pan’er back to Meeting Peace Palace in silence. Fei’er was standing not far off the palace gates, smiling brightly as he watched Su Pan’er.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Fei’er had significantly grown taller and had changed quite a lot.

"Sister Pan’er, no, I should call you Elder Cousin Pan’er! I’m glad you’ve finally come!"

Fei’er grinned ear-to-ear, enthusiastically waving at her as soon as he saw her.

Su Pan’er took a moment to compose herself before hurrying to pay her respects, "Mrs. Qin-Su pays her respect to the Eighth Prince."

"Elder Cousin Pan’er, what are you doing? Get up."

Fei’er gasped in surprise, rushing over to help her up, "I was incredibly worried when you said in your letter that you would only come after giving birth. But I understood that there was no room for rushing in this matter. Then Uncle Ye told me you’d come to the Capital City. I didn’t believe it was true. I was going to leave the palace to confirm it, but Uncle Ye said you’d visit me today, that’s why I didn’t go."

"We decided to come to the Capital on short notice, we didn’t get a chance to inform you beforehand. You’ve grown quite tall in the short time we haven’t seen each other, Eighth Prince!"

Su Pan’er said lightly with a smiling face.

"It’s cold outside, let’s go inside and talk!"

Imperial Consort Hua interrupted their conversation and quickly entered the Meeting Peace Palace.

Su Pan’er immediately followed her. It was noticeably warmer once inside the palace. Not getting a chance to catch her breath, she quickly came forward again to pay her respects: "Pan’er pays her respect to Imperial Consort Hua, blessing to your Highness."

"Get up quickly! Considering your condition, you should not kneel anymore. Give her a seat!"

Before she could kneel down, Imperial Consort Hua stopped her and asked a palace maid to bring a stool and help her sit down. "Considering your belly, you must be eight months pregnant? It must have been hard for you to visit the palace in this condition."
