Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: Aren’t This Couple a Bit Too Arrogant?
Feng Fuce nodded immediately upon hearing the words: "The Emperor is inside, I’ll take you in."
With that, Bai Zhi’er quickly followed behind Feng Fuce.
However, as they reached the entrance, they were stopped by the Palace Attendant of the Princess Consort Liang.
"How dare you? The Lady and the Emperor are talking family matters with the Lady’s father right now, no one can disturb them."
Bai Zhi’er pushed her aside: "Stop your nonsense!"
No wonder the Princess Consort Liang could invite Long Xiyuan to visit her today.
It turned out that the Princess Consort Liang’s father had entered the palace.
It’s said her father is a highly respected official at the Imperial College in the court.
He has always appeared to be a pillar among the currents, with Long Xiyuan usually giving him some respect.
His visit to the palace today must be to plead for his daughter’s favor after hearing she fell out of favor.
But Bai Zhi’er didn’t care who came today, she was determined to bring Long Xiyuan to see Fu Xiru one last time.
She charged into the main hall.
The Princess Consort Liang’s Servant widened her eyes.
She dared not rush to stop Bai Zhi’er, the fierce aura from Bai Zhi’er slapping the Princess Consort Liang last time was still vivid.
The Servant could only turn to Feng Fuce, scolding sternly: "You are at least the head of the Imperial Guards, responsible for safeguarding the Emperor’s safety."
"How can you let her in so casually just because she is your wife, aren’t you afraid of the Emperor’s punishment?"
Feng Fuce cast her a cold glance: "What are you anyway?"
With that, he worried Bai Zhi’er couldn’t handle it alone, immediately stepped in following her.
Leaving the Servant alone outside the hall, clutching her chest in anger.
This couple, one tells her to stop talking nonsense, the other says she is nothing.
How arrogant is that? They’re just relying on the Empress’s favor!
The Princess Consort Liang arranged a family banquet to entertain her father, Long Xiyuan gave the official of the Imperial College some respect and stayed to dine.
The three were chatting unhurriedly when Bai Zhi’er suddenly barged in.
Long Xiyuan, sitting at the head seat, was surprised; he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why are you here, did Xiru seek me?"
The Princess Consort Liang frowned tightly, scolding: "Such an unruly palace Servant, don’t you see the Emperor and I are dining?"
"You barged in without a word, how many lives do you have, that you don’t fear death!"
Long Xiyuan glanced sideways at the Princess Consort Liang: "Enough!"
Bai Zhi’er was Fu Xiru’s person, moreover, these days he had a good impression of this young girl.
Therefore, he spoke to stop the Princess Consort Liang’s difficulty.
The father of the Princess Consort Liang looked around hesitantly.
It’s rare indeed that the Emperor protects a palace Servant.
Long Xiyuan said to Bai Zhi’er: "Zhi’er, if Xiru needs something from me, go back and tell her I’ll come in an hour."
The Princess Consort Liang couldn’t sit still: "Emperor!~"
Her tone was somewhat coquettish and complaining.
The Princess Consort Liang was nearly hating Fu Xiru to death.
Long Xiyuan hardly came to her hall for a meal, yet Fu Xiru knew to send a palace Servant to vie for favor.
That woman, how deep is her scheming!
Yet Long Xiyuan ignored the subtle complaints of the Princess Consort Liang.
He was naturally reluctant to stay; if not for the official of the Imperial College visiting the Princess Consort Liang, and giving this old official some respect, he would have left long ago!
However, Bai Zhi’er said: "Emperor, if the Lady’s life is hanging by a thread, would you still wait an hour before seeing her for the last time?"
Those words, like a clap of thunder, shocked everyone present wide-eyed.
Long Xiyuan reacted even more strongly, standing abruptly, toppling the table before him, causing a mess.
"Zhi’er, what are you saying?!"
"The Lady has vomited blood, if the Emperor doesn’t go, he might not see her for the last time at all!" Bai Zhi’er finished speaking, only then realizing her voice was trembling.
It turns out her cheeks were wet, already tear-stricken.
