A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 274 - 274 Farce

274 Farce

After Princess Jiang Zhi finished her dance, the dancers retreated.

All the ministers echoed the praise. The emperor was also very impressed and even rewarded them.

Princess Jiang Zhi could not hide her joy. She had been practicing this dance for nearly a year to show off during the Three Kingdoms Festival.

Then, the empress immediately summoned Princess Jiang Zhi to her side, looking extremely intimate.

Then, Jiang Zhi said something to the empress, and her expression changed.

But soon, the empress acted as if nothing had happened and smiled.

Seeing this, Ning Yue praised her secretly. The women in this harem were indeed extraordinary. She had seen the empress many times, but the empress gave her a different feeling every time.

Such an empress could turn hostile as quickly as flipping a book!

“Princess Lotus.” The empress suddenly looked at Princess Lotus of the Black City Kingdom.

“Your Majesty, I am pleased to meet you.” Princess Lotus performed standard etiquette.

After Princess Lotus stood up, everyone looked at her quietly, as if they had seen a fairy. She was charming but extraordinary. Compared to her, Princess Jiang Zhi was simply worlds apart.

“The outside world says that you’re stupid. Is that true?” the empress asked with a sharp gaze.

“Since it’s a rumor, do you think you should believe it, Your Majesty?” Princess Lotus asked the Empress with a smile.

The empress’s expression turned ugly. She couldn’t say no!

She shouldn’t have asked this question. Wasn’t this equivalent to telling her that as the Empress of the Great Yun Nation, she didn’t investigate the facts and only believed the rumors? It was too ironic.

Ning Yue narrowed her eyes. Princess Lotus was beautiful and was arrogant. She dared to argue with anyone.

“How dare you! I’m asking you a question. How dare you look down on me!” The empress was furious. “Men! Take down Princess Lotus!”

Ning Yue looked at Princess Lotus. This woman actually did not look afraid at all.

Princess Lotus stood upright and asked, “Empress of Great Yun, what crime have I committed? Even if I’m really guilty, are you, the Empress of Great Yun, worthy of punishing me?”

Before Ning Yue could figure out what had happened, the empress was furious.

“Rebellious! Someone, take her down!” The empress’s authority was challenged, and she was even angrier.

As soon as the guards came up, the guards of the Black City Kingdom also attacked!

The empress was shocked. The emperor of the Black City did not reveal his strengths, but he actually attacked! Clearly, this outcome was something she had not expected.

Ning Yue looked at the nervous scene in front of her and couldn’t help but guess if the empress’s actions today were the emperor’s intention or the empress’s own idea.

“Someone, get the Imperial Guards here!” the Empress ordered.

They actually mobilized the imperial guards. It seemed that the empress would not stop until she took down Princess Lotus.

“What is the Empress doing? Who is she going to capture by mobilizing the imperial guards in front of the envoys of Russia and the Black City Kingdom?” the emperor asked.

He was pretending that he didn’t know what had just happened.

Only then did the Empress realize that she was the empress of a country. It was really not right for her to mobilize the imperial guards.

She hurriedly bowed. “I overstepped my boundaries. Emperor, please forgive me. I just saw that Princess Lotus didn’t seem to know the rules and wanted to send her to a nanny to teach her the rules.”

“No, Princess Lotus might not want to learn the rules and be unwilling to go. I had no choice but to do this.”

The empress’s words pushed all the responsibility to Princess Lotus. She made it sound like she was cleaning up the mess for Princess Lotus’s lack of manners.

The emperor frowned and did not continue to ask the empress. Instead, he turned to look at Princess Lotus.

“Princess Lotus, it’s not appropriate for you to turn Great Yun upside down as soon as you arrive, right?” the emperor asked.

The emperor’s words also made Ning Yue understand that the empress had been instructed by the emperor!

However, the emperor did not look like he wanted to kill them all. His attitude puzzled Ning Yue.

“I don’t know what I did wrong to let the Empress of the Great Yun Nation accuse me, a princess of the Black City Kingdom.” Princess Lotus used her identity as the princess of the Black City Kingdom.

“Nothing. I just want to make you my concubine,” the emperor said.

However, before Princess Lotus could speak, the officials of the Great Yun Nation knelt on the ground.
