Chapter 904: Chapter 898: Start Tearing

The Empress somewhat regretted that back when the Emperor ascended the throne with the support of the Ducal Residence, she hadn’t taken the opportunity to kill this woman.

If she had acted at that time, even if the Emperor had known, he wouldn’t have done anything to her.

But now it was different, she had married, and had her husband’s family. Since she hadn’t acted back then, there really was no point in moving against her now.

However, this woman’s arrogance was infuriating, truly painful to watch.

"You?" Jin Fengzhao truly looked down on the Empress, her face full of disdain. "Had it not been for my mother’s accident, do you think you could have become the Empress? You were merely a minor concubine in the Crown Prince Residence back then. Now you’re the Empress, have you forgotten how you used to grovel before my mother?"

"What did you say?" The Empress was furious.

"You defy the norm and disrespect your elders. I still can’t deal with you? Someone, go, invite the Emperor over..."

It was true she had been a concubine, but that was when the Xiao Family had great influence, and when the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, he married her, Xiao Qinqin. Xiao Qinqin was his primary wife, and she had nothing to say about that. But that was all so many years ago.

Besides, she hadn’t been a minor concubine for long and had never groveled before Xiao Qinqin.

When she entered the Crown Prince Residence, the Xiao Family had already fallen from grace, so the then Crown Prince had to seek other powerful backers, which led him to the Ducal Residence.

After she entered the residence, the Emperor favored her greatly. He spent every night in her room, nearly infuriating Xiao Qinqin to death.

So all things considered, aside from the position of primary wife which Xiao Qinqin had secured first, she hadn’t lost to Xiao Qinqin in any way.

Jin Fengzhao, arrogant and haughty, snorted coldly: "Just wait, when Father comes, let him see with his own eyes how his wife bullies the daughter of his rightful wife."

The Empress and Jin Fengzhao were now thoroughly at odds, and Gu Youyou, though she was the person involved, was completely forgotten by everyone, becoming an unnoticed onlooker.

Hearing Jin Fengzhao’s words, the Empress rolled her eyes, almost fainting from frustration.

Jin Fengzhao was the only person in the palace who could infuriate the Empress to such a degree.

This woman had entered the palace as a child and invariably accused her stepmother of bullying whenever she thought she was about to be disciplined.

Once during an early morning court session, she even ran to Taihe Hall and declared it in front of all the court officials.

Everyone said she was speaking childishly, yet they believed her.

Reflecting on various incidents, the Empress was so enraged that she lost all reason.

She shouted loudly: "Fine, fine, I want to see if I, a duly enthroned Empress, can deal with you. Someone, strip the clothes off her back. Shameless, stealing the clothes of commoners to wear yourself, I want to see just how thick your face really is."

That Xiao Qinqin could give birth to such a daughter, she could never have dreamed of it.

"How dare you, Jin Yushu, if you dare lay a hand on me, I’ll tell Father... Ah, what are you standing around for, drag these lowly maids away for me!"

Clearly, the Empress had better resources than the Princess, having more people was an advantage, and the palace maidens and matrons all joined the fray, causing chaos in Zhaoyang Hall.

Gu Youyou was completely ignored, Jin Fengzhao’s maidens and matrons were all fighting; to avoid getting hurt, she quickly hid in a corner.

It seemed as though she had caused this issue, but in reality, it had little to do with her.

Seeing the Empress and Jin Fengzhao’s behavior, it was clear this was not their first fight. Even if it hadn’t been for her, they would have found another reason to clash.
