Chapter 509

Noble Consort Liu: “!”

Gu Jing: “!”

Neither the mother nor son looked too good, and their bodies were tense.

They came to Shouning Palace today to check on things, hoping that Empress Dowager Liu would exert pressure on the Emperor. Naturally, the purpose was to depose the empress. As long as she was deposed, Gu Zhen would be the son of a deposed empress and his only advantage as the legitimate son of the emperor would be lost.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Liu did not play cards according to common sense.

Noble Consort Liu’s heart sank and did not understand what was wrong with Empress Dowager Liu. She had always been on their side before.

Noble Consort Liu clutched the handkerchief in her hand more tightly, crumpling it into a ball and sighing. ”If Lord Wei is guilty, how should Empress Wei deal with herself…” She had a worried look.

Qin Jiu smiled with a sincere expression and said, “Your Highness is so nice to still have to worry for Empress Wei.”

“Your Highness, you are truly gentle and kind, as pure and flawless as the white lotus in that pool.”

Empress Wei smiled faintly, “Thank you, Noble Consort sister, for taking the trouble for this empress.”

Empress Dowager Liu frowned slightly and felt a sense of unease in her heart. What she hated the most was lotus flowers.

Back then, the late emperor doted on Fang Qinlian, a despicable person, so he added the word “lotus” to her name. He not only dug ponds and planted lotus in Fang Qinlian’s palace courtyard but also extensively planted lotus in other parts of the palace.

Additionally, a despicable person always has two faces. She was arrogant behind the late emperor’s back but gentle and warm when facing the emperor. She even pretends to speak for her, and this made the late emperor praise that bitch Fang Qinlian for coming out of the mire but not being stained and behaving like a pure person without being a demon while scolding her for not having the heart of a mother that has the world in mind.

After ascending to the throne, Empress Dowager Liu dug up all lotus flowers in the palace.

Empress Dowager Liu’s face became increasingly gloomy, as she looked straight at Noble Consort Liu, and in this instance, she overlapped Noble Consort Liu’s face with that of Dowager Consort Fang.

Why was her niece similar to Consort Fang, from her demeanor to her tone?

Back then, Consort Fang was always like this in front of the late emperor, looking soft and gentle, but in reality, what she said was adding fuel to the fire–every word with a thorn on the side.

Empress Dowager Liu suddenly felt that Noble Consort Liu was a little strange, her former niece who intimately called her aunt had long changed…

It was her fault, it was because she had indulged her niece so much over the years that she had grown her heart, not only did she become as domineering as Consort Fang back.

She wanted the empress to fall, so could she take her place right? Consort Fang was the same back then; she asked the late emperor to humiliate her again and again, hoping that the late emperor would abolish her empress and the crown prince.

Empress Dowager Liu’s heart cooled, and she felt chilled. Who does Noble Consort Liu rely on? To put it bluntly, wasn’t it her?! She’s using her as a weapon!!

The more Empress Dowager Liu thought about it, the more annoyed she was. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze became sharper, as she said.

“The Harem shall not interfere in politics, Noble Consort, you go out and kneel outside for an hour.”
