Noble Lady

"I would never dare to have such intention." Xue Chenyu lowered her head and acted humble.

Queen Han snorted, "I don't think you'd dare."

"But I heard that you went to great lengths to get a county magistrate for Daling County, and you're going to accuse my brother of something."

"Princess Anping, is this true?"

Xue Chenyu quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, please understand. I have never accused anyone of anything wrong. Besides, General Han holds the military power. How could I have the courage to do that?"

Queen Han nodded in satisfaction, then realized, "What do you mean by that? You said my brother holds military power, so you mean he's omnipotent, right? You're so bold!"

"Please spare my life, Queen! This subject has absolutely no such intention. Please understand!"

Who knows.

"Clear and perceptive?" Empress Han simply smiled. "Princess Anping, you don't really think I called you here just to lecture you, do you?"

After she finished speaking, Xue Chenyu calmed down. "I have never thought of this before. The Queen even summoned me by using the title of Imperial Concubine. I guess she doesn't want to leave any evidence behind."

The smug look on Queen Han's face faltered. "You are much smarter than I thought. Since you know why I called you here, why aren't you afraid at all?"

She almost asked directly, why aren't you afraid of death?

Xue Chenyu lowered her head and smiled, "Your Majesty, you're joking. How can I decide whether I'm afraid of this kind of thing? If I were afraid, would I not come?"

Or answer Cai Lian's questions.

Queen Han covered her mouth and laughed. "You are right. A single word from me can decide the life or death of you, and even the entire Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. It's not up to you."

"No wonder my brother always says that talking to smart people is easier. I also like talking to smart people like you."

Xue Chenyu: "Your Majesty, your compliments are too kind."

"Who praised you?" Queen Han's expression changed instantly. "Well, you're in my hands after all. I'll let you say a few more words. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to speak again in the future."

Xue Chenyu sat there silently, just looking at her.

Queen Han frowned at her gaze, feeling strangely uncomfortable. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you really think I'll let you go just because of your title as the "line leader"?"

"I dare not have such extravagant hopes. I am just a little curious. The Empress had me tricked to Jinyang Palace. Did she think that if I died, I would be dead, and no one in this palace would care about my life or death?"

"Or do you think you can do it perfectly and hide it from everyone?"

"How dare you!" Queen Han cried angrily. "Who gave you the guts to speak to me like that? You're facing death and you still don't realize it? I'm giving you face, right?"

Xue Chenyu did not kneel down in fear or beg for mercy, but looked at the queen, and then her eyes fell on the woman in her thirties beside her.

"This lady is the mistress of the General's Mansion, right?"

"you?"

"Curious how I recognized Madam?" Xue Chenyu said with a smile to herself, "Even her speech is exactly like the Empress's. Her eyes are on top of her head, so it's hard not to recognize her."

"You are so bold!" The woman in her thirties, Han Hongyue's second wife, was furious.

Then he turned to Queen Han and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you drag this audacious bastard out and beat him to death with clubs? Why do you allow him to speak so arrogantly in her palace?"

"You, the eldest daughter of Marquis Xue, don't think that just because His Majesty has bestowed upon you the title of Princess of Anping, you can show off in front of the Empress. This crappy title of Princess of Anping won't save your life!"

"Mrs. Han said that my daughter is about to die. It's not too much to tell her a few truths before she dies, right?" Xue Chenyu didn't care.

After hearing what Madam Han said and what Xue Chenyu said, Queen Han felt it was really unpleasant to the ears.

He ordered the nanny beside him, "Drag her away."

"Wait." Xue Chenyu suddenly sneered:

"Madam Han is so arrogant that she even dares to give orders to the Empress. This is the Imperial Palace, the Empress's Jinyang Palace, not your Han Mansion's inner quarters."

"But the Queen has really opened your eyes. I never thought she would actually follow orders. I'm sure she's obedient to all the Han family members, right?"

This means that Queen Han is just an obedient puppet trained by the Han family, and anyone from the Han family can tell her what to do.

Queen Han was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

"Yes, she's right. This is my Jinyang Palace. When did it become your turn to tell me what to do?"

Before she could vent her anger on Xue Chenyu, she immediately turned to Madam Han, "If you like giving orders so much, go back to the Han family."

Madam Han choked, "... Queen, I, I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

Madam Han said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this girl is so eloquent and dangerous. You can't let her sow discord between us like this."

But human hearts are very complicated things. Once you accept a statement, the shadow will be difficult to erase in a short time.

Therefore, Queen Han's attitude towards Madam Han suddenly became cold.

Xue Chenyu said coldly, "What are you talking about, Madam Han? You and the Queen are family. How can I possibly sow discord between you two with just a few words?"

Mrs. Han thought to herself, this is pretty good.

Xue Chenyu immediately added, "Perhaps this subject's thoughts differ from Madam Han's. The Empress is the mother of a nation, second only to the emperor and above all others."

"Even the Han family, our mother's clan, should be subjects in front of the Empress, and not use the pretext of being a family to claim to be on equal footing with the Empress."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say I wanted to be on equal footing with the Empress? Come on, take this blind bastard who's spouting nonsense and trying to accuse the Han family away and have him beaten to death!"

As soon as Xue Chenyu said this, the atmosphere in the hall changed immediately, and Madam Han became even more anxious.

After hearing Madam Han's order, some palace maids in the hall moved.

However, Xue Chenyu did not answer, but just looked at Queen Han and Madam Han and laughed.

Queen Han looked at the palace maids who were following her orders and came to her senses.

"How dare you!" A teacup was thrown out directly.

Madam Han stared at Xue Chenyu with pride and said, "Yes, she is very presumptuous. She is so bold that she doesn't know whether to live or die. Your Majesty, you must deal with her properly."

"I'm talking about you!" Queen Han grabbed Madam Han's wrist and shouted angrily, "It's bad enough that you're pointing fingers in front of me, but you actually dare to give orders to the people in Jinyang Palace!..."

"This is not the Han family's inner residence. You're overreaching!"

"Come here, please ask the general's wife to go down and rest!"

Before Mrs. Han could react to what was happening, she was "invited" out by the nanny and palace maids around the queen.

"Empress, what do you mean by this? We are a family, and I am doing this for your own good! Only when our Han family's status is stable can you, the Empress, sit firmly on the throne."

Madam Han shouted as she was "asked" to leave, but the Queen's expression became increasingly ugly.

In a corner where no one paid attention, Xue Chenyu's mouth curled up slightly.
