“Sit down.”

The Empress Dowager finally spoke at this moment. When she spoke, she sounded as though she was bestowing a gift to Yu Yunxi.The source of this content ɪs novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Yu Yunxi simply chose a seat and sat down. She supported her face with one hand, looking bored. If it was not for the fact that she wanted to see what the Empress Dowager was up to, she would already be in bed now.

“Yu Yunxi! Don’t forget your identity! Your bearing is so poor. How can you live up to your identity as the Eldest Princess?” the Empress Dowager said reproachfully as she began to pick on Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi chuckled, but her gaze was piercing. She said bluntly, “Empress Dowager, no matter what I do, I’ll always be the Eldest Princess. Why did you call me here? Just say it. There’s no need to pretend.”

‘So many things had happened earlier, but she still wants to keep up pretenses with me? How ridiculous!’

The Empress Dowager’s expression stiffened, and flames of fury burned in her heart.

‘Does this little b*tch think that she has someone supporting her so she dares to openly fall out with me now?’

At this time, Du Wenxin said gently, “Yunxi, many things have happened recently so you must be angry. In fact, the Empress Dowager really cares about you. Don’t be angry.”

However, the Empress Dowager had lost all of her patience at this moment. She sneered and said, “I’m really disgusted with you! The Emperor Emeritus insisted on bringing you back. I want to see how long you can be protected.”

After saying that, the Empress Dowager rose to her feet and said, “The Emperor Emeritus hasn’t been feeling well recently. He deeply loves you. As his granddaughter, it’s not too much for you to copy scriptures and pray for him all night, right?”

The Empress Dowager posed her words as a question, but it was definitely an order.

Yu Yunxi understood that if she did not copy the scriptures tonight, rumors of her being unfilial would spread through the capital tomorrow. She raised her head and looked at the Empress Dowager fearlessly as she said, “Grandfather dotes on me so much. I’m naturally more than willing to pray for him.”

“Then kneel down and copy scriptures all night. I want to see the copied scriptures tomorrow,” the Empress Dowager said.

As soon as she finished speaking, a palace servant brought a brush and ink over.

With this, Yu Yunxi also knew that the Empress Dowager had planned this from the start.

Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager swept a glance at Yu Yunxi before she left with a flick of her sleeve.

‘It seems like she has another room to meditate in…’

Before Du Wenxin left, she did not forget to put in a good word for the Empress Dowager, saying kindly, “Yunxi, the Empress Dowager isn’t deliberately targeting you. She’s just concerned about the Emperor Emeritus.”

However, as soon as Du Wenxin left the room, the kind expression on her face was immediately replaced by a cold expression. She said, “Aunt, Yu Yunxi is unruly, and it’ll be difficult to make her submit.”

The Empress Dowager said with a sneer, “Of course. With the Emperor Emeritus’ support and military power in her hands, she’s almost capable of climbing up on my head. If I don’t make her kneel for a night, what will happen

to my dignity!”

“As expected of Changning’s daughter. Their temperaments are the same…”

‘However, she’s also that person’s daughter…’

At the thought of that person, Du Wenxin’s eyes lit up. However, when she recalled another matter, the light in her eyes was instantly snuffed out, replaced by resentment. At this time, a dark and gloomy aura shrouded Du Wenxin. The kind expression on her face had long disappeared, and she looked more like a vengeful ghost now as she said lightly, “Aunt, just by making her kneel and copy scriptures for a night doesn’t count as punishment.”

“What do you want to do?”

Du Wenxin smiled slightly as she said, “I heard that Consort Mu spoke to the Emperor. She wants Chu Zhihe to replace Yu Yunxi to marry the Third Prince of Beixiao.”

The Empress Dowager said, looking disgusted, “Consort Mu has raised Chu Zhihe into an idiot. Chu Zhihe is not presentable at all. How can Chu Zhihe fight Yu Yunxi?”

The Empress Dowager hated Yu Yunxi, but she also hated Chu Zhihe.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Du Wenxin before she continued to say, sounding a little resentful, “If it wasn’t because your stomach was so disappointing and you only gave birth to Little Twelfth after such a long time, would any of them have a chance to marry into Beixiao’s imperial family?” Du Wenxin only smiled slightly and said, “Yes, Aunt. It’s all my fault.”

Seeing that Du Wenxin had apologized, the Empress Dowager could not say anything else.

Du Wenxin continued to say in a low voice, “Aunt, I have a plan. It’ll definitely ruin the marriage between Yu Yunxi and the Third Prince of Beixiao.”

“Are you telling me to help Chu Zhihe marry the Third Prince of Beixiao?”

If the Empress Dowager had to choose, she would rather Chu Zhihe marry the Third Prince of Beixiao.

‘No matter what, it can’t be Yu Yunxi! She’s the granddaughter of that b*tch from the Xiao family! She doesn’t deserve such a good marriage!’

The Empress Dowager looked at Du Wenxin. She believed in Du Wenxin’s ability.

Du Wenxin slowly said, “A woman’s innocence is the most important. If a woman loses her innocence…”

The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed upon hearing these words. She had stayed in the rear palace for so long. Not only had she seen many such methods, but she had also often employed them many times.

‘This is indeed the simplest and most vicious way to destroy a woman…’

Du Wenxin said coldly, “Aunt, tonight is a good opportunity. If the Eldest Princess is caught having an affair in the temple, not only will her reputation be ruined, but she also won’t be able to marry the Third Prince of Beixiao.”

The Empress Dowager stared at Du Wenxin intently when she sensed Du Wenxin’s abnormal hatred.

Du Wenxin’s heart skipped a beat when she realized she had failed to hide

emotions. She quickly explained, “Empress Dowager, I’m only helping you

think of ways to destroy Yu Yunxi. With this, she won’t dare to act arrogantly to you in the future.”

The Empress Dowager’s expression eased when she heard Du Wenxin’s words. She said with a sneer, “That’s right. I want to see if she still has the guts to be rude to me after she loses her innocence and reputation.”

“Aunt, just watch the show. Leave everything else to me,” Du Wenxin said confidently.

At the same time, Du Wenxin thought to herself, ‘King of Zhenbei, you failed to protect that b*tch back then. Now that I’m going to destroy your only daughter, you’ll fail once again. This the price you have to pay for loving that b*tch!’

As Du Wenxin recalled the past, the resentment in her heart surged violently.

She stared at the door of the meditation and sneered.

In the meditation room.

A few old nannies were looking at Yu Yunxi. One of them said, “Eldest Princess, it’s time for you to kneel and copy the scriptures.”

Clearly, these nannies were monitoring Yu Yunxi on the Empress Dowager’s behalf.

“Eldest Princess,” Meng Xia called out worriedly.

‘Kneel for an entire night? Are they trying to cripple the Eldest Princess’ legs?’

The old nanny said arrogantly, “Eldest Princess, since you’ve already promised to pray for the Emperor Emeritus, you should show some sincerity. Don’t force us to make you kneel.”

Meng Xia turned around and scolded angrily, “Don’t think you can intimidate us.”

“Alright, Meng Xia. Don’t argue with them,” Yu Yunxi said as she shook her hand and held Meng Xia’s hand.

Seeing this, the nannies thought that Yu Yunxi was really afraid of them and wanted to continue mocking her.

Unexpectedly, the sound of a loud smack rang in the air. Not long after, the sound rang consecutively.

The nannies’s faces were all swollen in just an instant..
