Su Yurou was shocked and quickly took out a handkerchief. “Your Highness, last year during the spring banquet, you dropped your handkerchief, so I picked it up for you. You praised me for having a pure heart, and you gifted the handkerchief to me. I have always been thinking about Your Highness’s health. When I heard that the genius doctor’s medical skills were brilliant, I immediately recommended the genius doctor to Your Highness.”
Su Yurou recounted the entire story and even took credit for it in a roundabout way.
She thought that Consort Xiang would reward her heavily, but she did not expect Consort Xiang to say, “The spring banquet… I have never dropped a handkerchief, I only threw a handkerchief that I didn’t like.”
“Puff!”
“Hahaha!”
“So you just have a thick skin, trying to stick to Her Highness!”
The laughter of the palace maids and eunuchs came from the hall.
Su Yurou suddenly felt embarrassed, as if her face was burning.
Su Yingxue mocked softly, “It seems like Miss Su is good at picking up things that others throw away.”
“I… Even if it’s picking up the handkerchief that Her Highness threw away, it’s my honor!” Su Yurou was humiliated, but she still wanted to please Consort Xiang.
She knew that once Consort Xiang recovered, she would definitely be the most favored in the six palaces!
Consort Xiang did not take this flattery to heart. She did not have much of an impression of Su Yurou and simply thought that she liked the handkerchief, so she waved her hand and said, “Go and get some of my handkerchiefs and give them all to Miss Su.”
Su Yurou was stunned. Giving her handkerchiefs?
That was it?
She wasn’t rewarded with gold, silver, or jewelry, and only gave her a bunch of worthless handkerchiefs?
Su Yingxue saw that Su Yurou was in a daze and reminded her, “Miss Su, why aren’t you quickly accepting Her Highness’s handkerchiefs? This is your greatest honor!”
The honor that she had mentioned was like a basin of boiling water, hurting her badly.
Su Yurou had to endure it so that she wouldn’t lose face in Consort Xiang’s palace.
After leaving Yunwei Palace, she stared at Su Yingxue’s back with a vicious gaze. “How dare you tease me! I won’t forgive you!”
She immediately took a detour to the Empress’s palace.
When Su Yingxue walked to the palace gate, it was already dark. The palace gate was not locked yet, but it was already closed.
The guard told her that she couldn’t leave after the time to leave the palace.
Su Yingxue frowned. Was he not letting her leave?
“Divine Doctor Chu, the Empress has invited you.”
A eunuch’s sharp voice sounded from behind her, and Su Yingxue sensed that something was wrong.
Just now, Su Yurou didn’t come out with her, and now the Empress had sent someone to look for her.
Su Yingxue thought to herself that she had underestimated Su Yurou’s courage.
The Empress’s Fengzao Palace was luxurious and majestic. Every part of it revealed the extraordinary status of the Empress.
In the main hall, Su Yurou sat in the VIP seat.
She raised her chin at Su Yingxue and proudly demonstrated her strength.
Su Yingxue slowly knelt down. “Greetings, Empress.”
The Empress did not say anything, but she exuded an air of pressure that was not angry. There was a slight pressure in the air, indicating her displeasure.
When Su Yingxue knelt until her legs were numb, the Empress spoke coldly, “A commoner actually doesn’t reveal his true appearance when meeting me. You are impudent!”
The word impudent carried deep anger.
Su Yingxue nodded slightly. “Although I am a commoner, there is no law in the Great Cheng Dynasty that states that one must reveal their true appearance when meeting the Empress.”
“Impudent!”
The Empress had been pampered for many years, but no one had ever dared to contradict her like this.
Su Yurou smiled and quickly knelt down to console her, “Your Majesty, take care of your precious body. Don’t be angry over this ungrateful martial arts warlock. Just now, she treated Consort Xiang and offended her in many aspects. She personally brewed medicine and fed her. Those who don’t know better would think that she thinks that the people in the palace will harm Consort Xiang!
