Chapter 129

Cining Palace.

"Exactly! As a female official, Concubine Liu is a model of trust from the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the imperial harem. How can she not advise the Emperor?"

Seeing the Empress displeased, Consort Li was overjoyed and frantically tried to trip up Concubine Liu.

In truth, Consort Li didn't care who the Emperor favored.

But why could Concubine Liu be a female official, and she couldn't?

Concubine Liu could eat bird's nest and abalone, while she had to fill out profit and loss statements to eat?

Now when Consort Li looked at Concubine Liu, it was pure jealousy!

Not because of the Emperor's favor, but because of the treatment and importance Concubine Liu received in the imperial harem!

Concubine Liu invented down jackets and spinning wheels, and Consort Li thought it was all because Concubine Liu had a clever elder brother.

These must all be Liu Runnian's ideas, given to Concubine Liu for credit.

Consort Li was jealous and resentful.

Now, she finally found a chance to question Concubine Liu's ability to handle matters.

"It's only been thirty days. Even if this inoculation method is truly effective, there hasn't been enough time to prove it. To perform it on the prince of a neighboring country, if nothing happens, it's fine, but if something goes wrong, you can't escape the blame!"

Consort Li was aggressive, but she felt she had a point.

Even the Empress nodded, this time also siding with Consort Li, severely reprimanding Concubine Liu in front of the Empress Dowager.

"If you are so unaware, so ignorant of the gravity of the matter, I can request a decree to promote you, and I can also request a decree to demote your rank!"

"If something happens to the Wu Yun Country's prince, you'll be a criminal in both countries. Even if you're banished to the cold palace, Concubine Liu, it's what you deserve!"

[Oh, the Empress is so fierce.]

Xiao Chuchu, held by Xiao Yunzhou at the entrance of Cining Palace, couldn't help but think.

[But this has nothing to do with my mother.]

[Each profession has its own expertise. Which official is responsible for everything under heaven?]

Xiao Yunzhou had been listening outside the door, his chest heaving. Looking down at his daughter, he saw her small mouth pouting, obviously frightened by the loud scolding of the Empress and Consort Li, and his anger flared even more.

"Concubine Liu, go now and remonstrate with the Emperor!" Empress Tong coldly ordered Liu Chaniang.

[Whimper, why doesn't the Empress go herself? Is she using my mother as a scapegoat?]

Xiao Chuchu frowned unhappily.

Since coming to this world, she had received genuine care and love from Liu Chaniang, and gradually opened her heart, viewing Liu Chaniang as her true mother in this world.

When faced with disputes, Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but be protective, feeling sorry that her mother was scolded.

[When there's no problem, the Empress is the esteemed mistress of the harem, but when there's trouble, everything becomes my mother's responsibility? What kind of logic is this?]

[Empress, you're so good at speaking, why don't you find the Emperor Father yourself, why don't you go and remonstrate yourself?]

[Apart from the Empress Dowager, the Empress gets the most monthly allowance in the harem!]
