At this moment, the tall and strong woman said mockingly, “1 say, Madam Yang, did you plan this again?

“No matter what, Yang Wanning is still the daughter of the Yang family. If something happens to her, it won’t look good on you either.”

“After interacting with her for the past two years, I thought she was a good person. 1 sure didn’t expect her to be this vicious. She was going to completely destroy Yang Wanning.”

“Isn’t this normal? As long as Yang Wanning is alive, her daughter will always be one rank lower.”

“You people…” Hearing the crowd’s words, Madam Cui gritted her teeth in anger, but she did not dare to offend them.

After all, she was a person without an imperial mandate. Without the Empress’s permission, she wouldn’t even be able to enter the palace.

Thinking of this, she could only turn to the Empress for help.

The Empress glared at her and saw the round red dot on the captured woman’s forehead. “How dare you, a palace maid, have an affair with another man in the palace!

“Someone beat her to death and throw her into a mass grave.

“As for Chen Fang…”

When the Empress said this, a woman suddenly rushed in from outside and kneeled. “Empress, 1 beg you to spare my son’s life. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future!”

At this point, she grabbed Chen Fang, who had just put on his clothes, and slapped him twice.”You unfilial son, it’s fine if you usually flirt with the women outside.

“But do you think the palace is a place for you to mess around? You actually…

“I’ll break your legs when we get back!”

Chen Fang dodged as he replied, “Mother, Mother, listen to me. 1 was knocked unconscious and thrown here. 1 also…”

The Empress immediately stopped him. “That’s enough. You can go back and settle your family’s matters yourself.

“However, Chen Fang must leave the palace immediately. Unless he can enter the court as a scholar, he will not be allowed to enter the palace for life.”

“Thank you, Empress.” Mrs. Chen brought Chen Fang to kowtow and immediately dragged him out of the palace.

As for the palace maid, she was dragged out by the two other maids beside the Empress. Then, waves of screams could be heard, and soon there was silence.

Meanwhile, the Empress rushed back to the Hall of Diligent Government with a dark expression.

Seeing this, Madam Cui immediately jogged to catch up.

Seeing this, the women more or less understood what had happened. However, they did not dare to talk about the Empress, so they gossiped about the Cui family. They felt that Madam Cui must have arranged for today’s incident.

The tall, strong woman looked at Yang Wanning and asked, “Wanning, did your stepmother arrange what happened today?”

Yang Wanning shook her head and said, “I’m not sure either. Previously, I was chatting with Princess Mingyu in the pavilion. Later, a palace maid accidentally splashed water all over me.

“Princess Mingyu brought me here to change my clothes, but someone by the Emperor called her away.

“Granny Liu was asked by my cousin to bring me clothes, so we went to another room to change.

“As for what happened, I really don’t know.”

“Your cousin gave you clothes? What do you mean?”

“Oh, I know! The clothes the Yang family had previously prepared for her are not suitable, whether in color or style. I’m sure she had to ask her cousin for help.” At this time, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl smiled and spoke up.

“Wait. Your cousin, which cousin, could it be…”

“He’s my third cousin from the Gu family. He just entered the capital two days ago.”

“The Gu family, isn’t the Gu family…”

“My cousin didn’t elaborate on his reason for coming here, but he followed the Third Prince into the capital.”

“I see.”

After hearing this, the women rushed to the Hall of Diligent Government while discussing the Gu family, guessing what was happening with the Gu family reentering the capital..
