258 Like you owe her a life

” In just a few days three of the Liu family’s daughters were attacked and what were you doing your majesty? You were having dinner with that girl from the Ji family, if only you had woken up on time and appointed some guards to keep the daughters of my family safe then this would not have happened!”

The Dowager Empress was a calculating woman, she did not feel much when Liu Fei Fei died after all that girl was shoved into their family by the Ji family indirectly and she was more of a stain than an adopted daughter which was why she was not moved when that girl died but the same could not be said for Liu Hui Ying and the concubine Su who were cousins with the Liu family.

Even if she was to ignore that Su girl, there was no way she could ignore Liu Hui Ying! She has seen her niece grow up in front of her in fact, it would be right to say that Liu Hui Ying called ‘aunt’ first before she called her father, the Dowager Empress had her own plans but those plans did not include Liu Hui Ying dying.

What was more Liu Hui Ying was the only legitimate daughter of the Liu Family, if she dies then the Ji family will ——-

She has been keeping a grudge against Zhai Tianyu ever since he almost killed Liu Hui Ying on their wedding night, if not then she wouldn’t have turned a blind eye to that Ji girl getting poisoned. Since her niece was almost killed then Jia girl deserved to die a slow painful death as well!



But now her niece was attacked again and this time she couldn’t do anything even if she had half the control of the harem, the remaining control was in the hands of that old woman! She sent some of her hidden guards to Liu hui Ying’s palace to keep guard but just an hour ago she received a message that said that all the hidden guards were killed. Even if she was a fool, she could see it quite clearly that the person who was behind it was none other than the Grand Dowager Empress and her brother but even if she was to tell her son about this, he will not listen to a thing to what she has to say.

Just like his darned father!

When she thought about her late husband, a sour taste filled her mouth as she furtively covered her belly, even though her hands were shaking at the memory of the past and the sharp glint of the blade, her lips curled in a cold smile as she taunted, ” But then again I believe that with that disgusting blood flowing in your veins, this is not surprising at all.”

Zhai Tianyu went to say something but he did not get a chance since his mother turned to look at the imperial physician who was kneeling on the floor and ordered, ” I want to see her up on her feet as soon as possible, I don’t care what you do but if she dies then you will accompany her alive in her tomb! You understand that?” She shrieked the last of her words and without giving a chance to the imperial physician she turned on her heel and walked past Zhai Tianyu.

.....

Her eyes filled got with disgust as she walked out of the courtyard and her gaze fell on Zhai Heng who was standing at the side with the Yu Lingyun, she looked at Zhai Heng and then clenched her fingers like she was longing to curl it around Zhai Heng’s throat but then she restrained herself and turned around to leave.

That same face! That brat could have gone after anyone but he just has to look like that person!

” She is still the same isn’t she?” Yu Lingyun scratched his chin as he looked at the Dowager Empress who was walking away with a cold expression on her face. ” I never understood why she looks at you like you owe her a life or something of the sort.”

” My mother hates my father the most,” replied Zhai Heng as he touched the scar on his face, he hasn’t forgotten that his mother hated him so much that she would rather watch him get killed than return to the imperial city. ” Grandmother said that I look like father the most and every time she looks at me, she has recalled the sin she committed when she was killing my father, which is why she does not like watching my face since I make her feel guilty.”

” Guilty?” Yu Lingyun looked at Zhai Heng, he wanted to tell him that the Dowager Empress looked at him like he was her old enemy and did not have even the flicker of the slightest bit of guilt but he pursed his lips and did not say anything because Zhai Heng was right, he did resemble the late Emperor a bit too much and everyone knows that the Dowager Empress hates the late Emperor the most given that he once almost dethroned her for his concubine.

He sighed and then rubbed his forehead as he looked over his shoulder before muttering, “I just hope that his majesty will be able to stay calm after all this, the words that her majesty said were not something that one would be able to withstand.”





….

” What did her majesty mean by that the empress will not be able to wake up?” When Zhai Tianyu asked this question his voice was fairly calm and he looked like he was simply asking about the weather when the imperial physician heard Zhai Tianyu’s voice, he recovered from his daze and went crawling towards Zhai Tianyu.

That’s right! The Emperor did not like the Empress as long as he pleaded with the Emperor who wanted his childhood sweetheart to become his queen, he will definitely listen to him, right? There was no way he will want the Queen to wake up right?
