At the Longevity Palace, Xuanyuan Ye was stopped by two eunuchs.
“Do you two dog slaves want to die? Hurry up and move aside. I want to go in and see Imperial Grandmother.”
The eunuchs looked at her disdainfully.
Eunuch A sneered, “What kind of status does the Empress Dowager have? How can any Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry see her just because they want to?”
Eunuch B echoed, “That’s right. Why don’t you take a look at yourself? I can’t let you go in and dirty the floor of the Longevity Palace.”
The palace had always been a place where people trampled on the weak and supported the strong, let alone a child born from adultery. This status would be despised anywhere.
Xuanyuan Ye’s face alternated between green and white. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “How dare you? Do you believe that I’ll get Imperial Grandmother to chop off your heads?”
Eunuch A rolled his eyes. “Oh, do you think you’re still the high and mighty princess from before? Why do I remember that His Majesty issued an imperial edict this morning to strip someone of her t.i.tle as a princess?”
“That’s right. You’re so thick-skinned. It’s fine if you take over the nest, but you almost killed our true princess. I’ve never seen such a shameless person.” Eunuch B spat, and his saliva happened to land on Xuanyuan Ye’s shoes.
Xuanyuan Ye was so angry that her entire body trembled and she almost fainted.
However, this might be her last chance to see Empress Dowager Zhou. She could not faint.
Xuanyuan Ye took a deep breath. “No matter what, it’s not up to the two of you to judge me. Do you think Imperial Grandmother only found out about my background today?”
Xuanyuan Ye’s background was actually spread from outside the palace at the beginning, and the person who exposed it was none other than Xuanyuan Ce.
Apparently he had been chased out of the door by the rumored mistress some time ago, so he felt terrible and ran to the restaurant to get drunk. After drinking too much, he confessed in public with snot and tears, recounting what had happened back then.
When the news reached the palace, it had already been circulating outside for two days.
His Majesty was furious. He immediately issued an imperial edict to strip Xuanyuan Ye of her status as a princess and demoted her to a commoner.
During this period, Empress Dowager Zhou did not say a word.
Actually, the reason why Xuanyuan Ye was still in the palace was because Xuanyuan Qi was waiting for Empress Dowager Zhou to express her stance.
The two eunuchs looked at each other.
What did this mean? The Empress Dowager had long known this person’s background?
How was that possible?
Eunuch A was about to mock her when he suddenly remembered that Xuanyuan Ye had been locked up in secret. The Empress Dowager had asked Nanny Gao to pick her up. Could it be that at that time…
Eunuch B obviously thought of it too, and his face turned pale.
Xuanyuan Ye saw their expressions and sneered. “I think everyone in the Longevity Palace knows how much Imperial Grandmother dotes on me. Think about it. Imperial Grandmother watched me grow up. How could she abandon me because of some blood ties?”
“You’re right.” An authoritative voice came from the Longevity Palace.
At the same time, two heavy doors opened.
Xuanyuan Ye’s eyes lit up. “Imperial Grandmother!”
Xuanyuan Ce had also entered the palace today. The matter had spread to the palace, and he was here to apologize to Xuanyuan Qi.
After all, he had embarra.s.sed the royal family. He had to apologize, right?
Hearing his dignified reason, Xuanyuan Qi snorted and said, “Hmph, didn’t you do that to force me to issue this imperial edict? You’re already shameless, so why should I continue to do such a thankless thing?”
“Brother, I was really schemed against by that brat Song Jingchen. He deliberately made me drunk that day and kept provoking me. I already felt terrible, so I let my guard down.”
Although he was willing to be the scapegoat, he still let the young people take the blame.
Xuanyuan Qi pointed at him and expected better from someone. “As an elder, you were schemed against by a Junior. Preposterous!” “Didn’t Brother also lose to him in chess?” When he said this, Xuanyuan Ce was a little smug.
That was his son-in-law!
Xuanyuan Qi thought to himself, “Is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d brother speaking human language?”
He said angrily, “I did that on purpose. Besides, he only cut a tiny bit of that horn. I can afford that little bit of rhinoceros horn!”
“So be it. Didn’t Brother say it himself? On the battlefield, surrendering is still a loss.”
Xuanyuan Qi said, “Get lost!”
