Just as Mu Gui Fei was waiting with a grateful heart for Yun Luo Feng, she saw Mu Wu Xian walking in alone, and suddenly her noble and beautiful face sank, a cold glint flashing across her eyes.
"Where's Yun Luo? Why have you come back alone?"
Mu Wuchen smiled wryly and replied, "Your Highness, Yun Luofeng refused to come and read with the princess. Moreover, she told us to ask Your Majesty if this is how the imperial family treats the granddaughter of a meritorious official?"
"What?"
Mu Gui Fei's face suddenly turned cold, her slender hands like jade heavily fell on the armrest, and she said in a cold voice: "Did Yun Luo Feng that waste really say that?"
"Not bad!" Mu Wu Chen nodded, "Your Majesty, Yun Luo Feng is just a waste, why are you so supportive of her? With her identity, she's not even qualified to be a princess companion!"
The princess is such a noble figure, what qualifications does Yunluo have to be her companion? Especially this waste still has the audacity to refuse the queen's kindness.
The eyes of Mu Gui Fei sank down, gently playing with the jade fingers on her finger joints, and she didn't know what was in her mind.
Just then, a sharp and shrill voice came from outside the bedroom, interrupting Mu Guifei's thoughts.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
The empress Mu Gui rose at the sound, hastily tidying her makeup, and gazed at the yellow-robed figure hurrying into the palace. With a stately and elegant bow, she said: "Your concubine welcomes Your Majesty."
"Gui Fei," Gao Tu glanced at Mu Gui Fei, whose eyes were filled with a hint of a smile, and said indifferently, "I heard that you went to the General's Manor and had Yun Luo Feng come to be the Princess's study companion?"
The Empress Mu looked up in surprise: "Your Majesty, how did you know..."
"This matter has spread throughout the imperial city," Gao Tu sneered, "Everyone says that you, Mu Gui Fei, bullied the only daughter of the General's Manor and even wanted to force her into the palace as a companion reader for the princess! My dear concubine, your family once harmed Yun Luo's son and daughter-in-law. I didn't mind being biased towards your family in front of everyone, but now that Yun Luofeng is the only heir of the General's Manor, if anything happens to her, that old man will definitely fight the imperial family to the death! For now, our imperial family cannot move against him, so I hope you won't make any rash moves."
The noble consort lowered her eyes and softly replied: "Your humble servant obeys your command."
"Dear wife," the emperor's expression softened as he gazed at this woman whom he cherished, his eyes no longer sharp as before. "I know you have grievances against Yun Luofeng; if not for her, Mu Wushuang would not have suffered such injuries! But now the crown prince is gravely ill, and I am already busy to the point of exhaustion, with no time to bother with these trivial matters. You can rest assured that I will eventually take action against the Jiang General's Manor and give you justice!"
Fairness?
If Yun Luo Xue were here, she would have burst out laughing upon hearing Gao Tu say those two words!
She couldn't understand how an emperor like Gaozu, who was so indulgent in beauty and acted unfairly, had the face to utter the two words "justice" and "fairness".
"Your Majesty, with these words from you, I am at ease."
Muguifei slightly raised the corner of her lips, and a gentle smile hung on her elegant face. Her eyes were filled with warmth and tenderness, like water, gazing at the tall and handsome man in front of her.
As long as he was a man, he couldn't bear such a gentle and soft woman, so Gao Tu completely threw away the proper business and carried Mu Gui Fei to the bed.
Mo Wuchen retreated very sensibly and closed the door of the bedroom slowly on his way out...
