Chapter 959: Chapter 958: The Better He Is, The More She Hates

"Someone come." The Empress commanded, and Feng Qihe entered with two eunuchs.

"Mother, what’s the matter?" He had been on guard outside all night and hadn’t left for a single step.

Seeing him now, the Empress felt somewhat comforted.

A husband may not truly belong to oneself, but a son always will.

Only a son would truly care about her.

She was resolute in making her son rise step by step to the zenith of mankind!

She would never let the son of Consort Rong trample over her own son!

"Take these two Palace Maids down and beat them to death with sticks."

"What?" Chu Qianli, who had been tidying up, suddenly raised her head and stared at her: "What crime have they committed?"

The two Palace Maids, though trembling, seemed to already know their fate.

Both were only crying, not daring to speak, not even to beg for mercy.

From the moment they entered and saw the filth and disorder of the bed to when they began to clean up, their faces had already turned ashen.

"Empress!"

"Lili, you’ve worked hard tonight; this Prince will escort you back to rest." Feng Qihe stepped forward, blocking her view.

He didn’t want to give her any more opportunities to continue arguing with the Empress.

"They are innocent!" Chu Qianli, full of anger, tried to push him away.

Feng Qihe, however, caught her wrist firmly and said in a deep voice, "This Prince will escort you back."

"Chu Qianli." The voice of the Empress by the bed was ice-cold; compared to earlier, her attitude had grown even more adamant.

"This Palace owes you for what you have done, and will certainly repay you in the future, but if you insist on meddling in the affairs of this Palace, I will not spare you either."

The two Palace Maids had already been taken away by several eunuchs, and soon wailing could be heard from the rear courtyard.

Chu Qianli understood.

Having seen the dirtiest and vilest side of the Empress, she definitely couldn’t allow them to remain in this world.

As for herself, she had seen much more from beginning to end.

The reason why the Empress still let her live was firstly because she owed her a favor, and secondly, the most important reason, because of her noble status, the Empress dared not touch her at the moment.

If she had been just a common girl, tonight she might not have been able to leave this palace!

"Your Majesty, Prince."

A guard approached the door and whispered, "Prince Yexuan has been waiting outside for quite a while."

...It was said that Yexuan had heard that the Empress was unwell and had come to offer his condolences.

Though this time of visitation was indeed a bit too late.

However, he had been outside the bedchamber for nearly two hours already.

One could say that his filial piety had been thoroughly demonstrated.

Feng Qihe personally greeted him inside.

"This prince pays his respects to Mother." The Empress was the ’mother’ of every prince, so this address was appropriate.

"Xuanxuan, coming to comfort this palace so late at night brings me great comfort."

The Empress reclined by the bed, her gaze passing over the screen to fall upon his robust figure.

The more outstanding this child was, the more she hated him.

That hatred, usually invisible, was particularly clear tonight.

However, the breath of utter loathing flickered only briefly in the depths of her eyes.

The Empress quickly regained her composure, looking towards Chu Qianli, who was silently tidying up things on one side.

"This Palace’s illness has been nearly cured with Ali’s care. Xuanxuan, it’s getting late; you should return to rest early."

Before Yexuan could react, the Empress had already preemptively said, "Ali and Hehe are still busy with some matters. Hehe will stay with Ali, so we will not see you out."

Within her words lay hints of an unusual relationship between Feng Qihe and Chu Qianli.

Having spoken, she suddenly changed the subject, "Xuanxuan, Commandery Princess Feiyan has traveled a great distance to facilitate your nuptials. You should spend more time with her these days!"
