Chapter 643: Just Because I'm the Empress!

lanced at Ning'er and the others kneeling on the ground, closed his eyes deeply, "You better not learn from her!"His voice sounded weak, and he turned and went into the room after speaking.After the d...An Xuetang's words were a veiled jab that was hard to refute. Now, as long as the Empress admitted that the maidservant belonged to her Kunning Palace, she would become the one who didn't know her place, according to An Xuetang.

The Empress narrowed her eyes slightly and finally cast a glance at the old nanny beside her.

Since Nanny had been by the Empress's side for so long, she naturally knew what that look in the Empress's eyes meant. She immediately turned cold, walked up to the maidservant, and kicked her hard.

"Who are you Why are you in Kunning Palace, and dare to be disrespectful to the Princess of Beijang You deserve a thousand deaths."

This maidservant obviously hadn't expected the matron to say such things. She was taken aback, but quickly realized she had been sacrificed. If she didn't want to die, she could only follow the matron's lead and admit it.

An Xue Tang was too lazy to watch their performance, so she turned to look at the Empress, saying nothing, just smiling faintly.

The Empress looked into An Xue Tang's eyes, always feeling that her eyes saw everything, leaving the Empress nowhere to hide.

The Empress clenched her hands tightly, suppressing the anger that threatened to boil over within her. After a moment, she pursed her lips and said, "Since you're here, come in."

An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Yes."

After the Empress entered the room, she sat directly on her throne without inviting An Xuetang to sit down.

In the palace, the Empress did not speak to invite her to sit. An Xue Tang could only stand. Ning'er and Shou'er stood respectfully a meter behind her, their heads bowed slightly.

No sooner had the Empress taken her seat than a person was escorted out by a maidservant. An Xue Tang turned her head and saw that it was Hua Xiang!

It was indeed her who went to the palace to file a complaint. Just as well, this Hua Xiang can be dealt with today.

Upon seeing An Xue Tang, Hua Xiang was far from calm. She trembled with rage, her shaking hand pointed accusingly at An Xue Tang, "It's you! It's you who has brought me to this!"

Huaxiang is truly terrible with her memory. She has pointed at An Xue Tang so many times before, but when has she ever been injured

Dare you still reach out today

Perhaps she simply thought that at this moment, she was in the queen's palace. Even though she was now pointing at An Xue Tang and scolding her angrily, An Xue Tang wouldn't do anything to her.

Before the empress, she naively believed that An Xuetang couldn't do anything to her.

But in the next instant, she realized her terrible mistake. Before she could put her hand down, something happened—no one knows what—and suddenly she clutched at her arm and rolled around on the ground.

The Empress's face fell instantly, she glared at An Xue Tang fiercely, "What have you done"

An Xuetang looked bewildered, "Mother, what's wrong with your eyes Did you see your daughter-in-law do something But I haven't done anything. I've been standing here motionless the whole time, never laying a hand on anything. Or could it be... that you called me here today just to slander me"

An Xuetang was relentless, the empress's face darkened further as she glared at An Xuetang and then at the two maids behind her, "You two, leave!"

Ning'er and Shou'er heard the empress's order, the two stood motionless. The empress was so angry with their attitude that she slapped the table hard, "You don't take this palace seriously"

An Xuetang suddenly sank her face, "Mother, you're wrong. Since we entered Kunning Palace, have our three servants done anything Mother, you defame people without distinguishing right from wrong, which is really not a good habit!"

"Besides, they are my people, so they can only listen to me. If Empress Dowager wants them to step down, that's fine, but Empress Dowager, could you please give me a reason Why is there so many maidservants in this room, even Hua Xiang has two by her side, while my people have to be sent out"

At this, An Xuetang's gaze became exceptionally sharp. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Or could it be that Mother Empress summoned me to the palace today to torment me, to bully me without regard for right and wrong"

Listening to An Xue Tang's accusations, the Empress felt a surge of anger but remained silent. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "You dare say that Hua Xiang became like this without your involvement"

An Xuetang nodded without hesitation, "I dare say so. I wonder where Mother got the conclusion that my insistence on Hua Xiang stemmed from something I did"

"Humph, besides you, who else could treat her like this"

An Xue Tang let out a chuckle, "Mother Empress, your words are amiss. In my opinion, you bear more suspicion of harming Hua Xiang."

"What did you say"

The Empress abruptly slammed her fist on the table, clearly unable to believe that An Xue Tang dared to be so brazen, speaking such rebellious words right in front of her.

The more angry the Queen became, the more obvious the smile on An Xue Tang's lips became. She explained in a leisurely manner:

"Mother, please don't get so excited. Your daughter-in-law was only expressing a guess, just as you guessed that your daughter-in-law was the most likely person to harm Hua Xiang. Doesn't your daughter-in-law have the right to guess that you wanted to use her to kill Hua Xiang"

To use someone else to do the dirty work, that is indeed the plan of the Empress today. Now that An Xue Tang has brought it up, a moment of panic flashed across the Empress's face, but she quickly recovered her composure. She stared at An Xue Tang with displeasure and said:

"An Xuetang, don't talk nonsense. Hua Xiang is my daughter. How could I possibly harm my own daughter!"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Mother, what you're saying is that even blood-related siblings can kill each other, let alone your relationship with Hua Xiang which is practically nonexistent."

This place is really stifling. Although An Xue Tang hasn't been here for long, she doesn't want to waste any more time here.

"Having said that, she glanced at Hua Xiang on the ground and then at the Empress. 'Mother Empress,' she said, 'Why don't we just stop all this guessing Let's have a physician come take a look and see what's wrong with Hua Xiang.' "

The Empress narrowed her eyes, she couldn't say what she was thinking about, but at this moment, she had surprisingly calmed down. She gave a meaningful look to the maidservant beside her.

The old nanny's lips curled slightly, and she immediately ordered a maidservant to fetch the imperial physician.

And she walked over and helped Hua Xiang up. Ning'er watched the nanny’s actions, her eyes darkening.

Huaxiang didn't know what Moma had done to her. After being helped up, she cried incessantly and then knelt on the ground begging the Empress to give her justice.

After the Empress and Hua Xiang's eyes met, the two of them didn't know what kind of consensus they had reached. The Empress looked at An Xue Tang and said, "Kneel down."

An Xuetang remained motionless, her indifferent eyes fixed on the Empress, "Reason."

"This palace told you to kneel, and you kneel. Do you want a reason Just because this palace is the Empress, the master of this harem!"

The Empress has started to reveal her true intentions. She no longer tolerates An Xuetang as she once did.

She must have thought that Mamá's plan had worked, and now she didn't need to give An Xue Tang any more opportunities.ad to separate A Tang from Mo Yun Jing. As long as the Fourth Prince's demands were met, her true identity would remain a secret!"A Tang, for mother's sake, just this one thing, alright Help mother ou...
