EBE Chapter 71 The Angry Empress 2
Chapter 71 The Angry Empress 2
Pei Shaoqing couldn't believe what he heard, and for the first time he showed dissatisfaction towards Jiang Wan.
"Your Majesty, do you want to imprison Shaoqing? Shaoqing only entered the palace to be the emperor's husband, not to sell himself into slavery. Don't you even have the freedom to go wherever you want?"
Listening to Pei Shaoqing's rebuttal, Jiang Wan felt a surge of anger exploding in her heart, and the blood in her body was rushing. She couldn't control herself and swept away everything on the table.
"Why are you going against me? Why don't you listen to me? Just do whatever I tell you to do. Who gives you the guts to contradict me?"
The fragile teapot fell to the ground with a loud noise, and Jiang Wan's hysterical roar scared everyone in the room, even Pei Shaoqing was stunned.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Seeing that Jiang Wan was obviously not normal, Pei Shaoqing did not get angry with her. Instead, he looked at her worriedly.
The maid beside him also came forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, let's go back first..."
But who would have thought that hearing these words was like touching a switch. Jiang Wan's fair face was full of madness. She threw the maid away and said heartbreakingly, "Get out! Get out! Get out of here, all of you!"
Suddenly, Jiang Wan turned her gaze towards Pei Shaoqing. Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she wanted to eat him alive. "You! That's you! Why didn't you listen to me? Why did you go against me? You want to show your wounds to people outside, let them know that I beat you, let the ministers call me stupid and tyrannical, let the regent call me stupid and incompetent, right?"
"I knew you were no good either! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Everyone, all of you are laughing at me behind my back, wanting to see me make a fool of myself!" Jiang Wan pointed at everyone in front of her, her face full of hatred and despair. She was crying and almost collapsed. "You all think I'm sick, you all wish I'd die, don't think I don't know, bitch, get out of here..."
Big tears slid down Jiang Wan's face. In order to control her trembling body, she bit her lower lip tightly until blood oozed from her lips...
The maids had been serving Jiang Wan for a long time, and of course they knew that she would hurt those around her when she went crazy. Therefore, they only dared to stand by and watch, and no one dared to step forward.
Pei Shaoqing rushed forward, pried open Jiang Wan's mouth and stopped her from hurting herself any further.
Jiang Wan had completely fallen into a state of rage. Her rationality was almost zero and she only wanted to destroy everything around her.
She beat Pei Shaoqing with all her might, and said frantically, "Get out! Get out! I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
But Pei Shaoqing seemed to be unaware of the pain. Instead of moving forward, he retreated and hugged Jiang Wan tightly in his arms, holding her hands to prevent her from moving.
Jiang Wan couldn't break free, so she could only use her teeth, the only weapon that could hurt people, to bite Pei Shaoqing's hand viciously. This time, she used all her strength, and Jiang Wan could even taste the blood in her mouth.
But from beginning to end, Pei Shaoqing never pushed her away.
He hugged Jiang Wan tightly with his other hand and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, Your Majesty, it's okay. No one is laughing at you behind your back, and no one wants to see you laugh. If Your Majesty doesn't want others to see me injured, then I will stay in Changle Palace until the wound on my face heals and then go out. I promise that no one will see the wound on my face..."
Perhaps it was Pei Shaoqing's slightly hoarse voice that calmed people down quickly, or perhaps it was the taste of blood in her mouth that brought Jiang Wan back to her senses, and she really gradually woke up.
Thinking back to what he had just done, Jiang Wan felt almost ashamed.
She slowly let go of Pei Shaoqing's hand, and seeing the skin and flesh flying around, Jiang Wan felt even more ashamed... Seeing that she had returned to normal, Pei Shaoqing's hand around her gradually relaxed.
Jiang Wan stood up suddenly and threatened dryly: "Don't spread what happened today. If I hear any rumors outside, I will make you pay!"
After saying that, Jiang Wan fled away as if his butt was on fire.
But Pei Shaoqing just stared at her back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
He had only been in the palace for a short time and was scratched on the face by Her Majesty this morning. He thought she was just angry and didn't want to lose face in front of the Regent, so she got furious with him.
But His Majesty's appearance just now was obviously abnormal... Moreover, Pei Shaoqing keenly noticed that there was something wrong with His Majesty's words. She said, "You all think I am sick, and you all wish I were dead." This world belongs to His Majesty. Who is so bold as to wish His Majesty dead?
Pei Shaoqing's face was solemn, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.
His Majesty is not willful and capricious. In his opinion, it seems that he has some disease and cannot control himself at all. Recalling the illness of the late emperor, Pei Shaoqing's eyes dimmed slightly. If His Majesty has the same disease as the late emperor, why didn't the Regent inform the court officials earlier?
Your Majesty has always been taught by the Regent, and the people around you are all the Regent's people. Those unpleasant rumors have reached Your Majesty's ears. Doesn't the Regent know about it?
Or, is this done on purpose in order to provoke Her Majesty more and make her condition worse?
Thinking of this, Pei Shaoqing immediately found paper and pen and was about to send a message to his father outside the palace, but when he thought of Jiang Wan's crazy appearance just now, he wanted to retreat again.
Her Majesty does not want anyone to know these things. She is afraid that the court officials will criticize her... After thinking it over, Pei Shaoqing put down the paper and pen. He decided to investigate it himself, starting with the late emperor's case. After confirming the case, he would contact his father and others.
If he really finds evidence that He Yunchao is so audacious and hypocritical, he will make him pay the price!
......
Regent's Palace.
He Yunchao listened to his subordinates' report and frowned slightly, "Your Majesty is ill again? Or has he been ill twice in one day?"
The young eunuch said respectfully, "That's right. I saw it clearly. Earlier, your majesty broke the vase and scratched the emperor's face. Later, she was afraid that the emperor would tell others, so she went to Changle Palace to threaten him. The emperor just said a few words to her, and your majesty smashed a lot of things in succession and bit the emperor's hand..."
He Yunchao lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Are you sure that His Majesty and the Emperor didn't say anything else?"
The young eunuch nodded repeatedly, "I have written down every word, it's all here."
He Yunchao nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, keep an eye on the emperor's husband these days. If there are any letters coming out, find a way to copy them for me."
He Yunchao waved his hand, and the guard beside him understood and took out a handful of golden melon seeds and stuffed them into the eunuch's hand. The young eunuch thanked him repeatedly and left.
