All of these people’s actions were observed by the princes from the vassal states.
As a consequence, their gazes towards Ye Shaohua became even more unrestrained.
Only after the Palace Banquet ended did Shaohua notice that Qu Huashang’s eyes were still fixed on the Palace Gate, with a hint of disappointment in her pupils.
Shaohua narrowed her eyes, who was Qu Huashang waiting for?
Although she was somewhat curious about this empress praised in later generations, Shaohua didn’t delve further, as someone was leading her away.
"Nanny, this doesn’t seem to be the way back to the Cold Palace," Shaohua followed them at a leisurely pace and suddenly spoke up.
The nanny guiding the way glanced at her, couldn’t even be bothered to pretend, and coldly said, "Do you know the Imperial Palace better than I do?"
She didn’t even call her ’Lady.’
With a sharp gaze fixed on Shaohua, the nanny stood at the fork in the road and extended her hand to the left, "This way, please."
Shaohua chuckled lightly. They were really treating her like a fool to replace.
However, she said nothing and followed the nanny forward.
Arriving at a grand palace, the nanny ordered the Palace Gates to be opened, saying, "His Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Once Shaohua entered, the nanny immediately closed the Great Hall’s doors.
Indeed, Shaohua saw the prince from the vassal state lying on the ground, already unconscious.
In the Great Hall, a kind of strength-dispersing incense was also lit.
When the vassal state prince woke up, he realized something was amiss, especially when he saw Shaohua inside, his face full of horror, "You you you... How are you in here?"
While he coveted beauty, he also knew he was in the Central Plains, in the Imperial Palace.
Finding himself waking up here after passing out for no reason, with this woman beside him, did not take much for the vassal state prince to realize something was wrong, and that he had been set up.
He had thought this beautiful woman would be more afraid than him, but instead, she was just leaning against a pillar, even reaching into her pocket to pull out an apple and bite into it. freewёbnoνel.com
"What’s the matter?" Shaohua raised an eyebrow as the vassal state prince stared at her.
Seeing her so calm, the prince’s eyes widened even further. He said as if he had seen a ghost, "You weren’t like this at the Palace Banquet!"
The people from the vassal states always spoke their minds.
"I can’t help it, someone took a dislike to me." After thinking for a moment, Shaohua beckoned with her hand, and a chair floating in the air drifted over to her. She comfortably sat down.
Seeing the vassal state prince’s eyes nearly pop out of his head, she realized her action, then once again crooked her finger.
Another chair floated to the vassal state prince’s side, "Sit down."
Just as the vassal state prince was about to ask who had arrived, he failed to realize the chair had "vanished" from beneath him and plopped onto the ground with a thump.
The apple he had been holding also vanished without a trace.
Looking at his empty palms, the first thought that came to the vassal state prince’s mind was—he should have eaten it while he had the chance!
No sooner had he finished this thought than the doors of the palace were kicked open.
Then a stream of people poured in.
There was Yuwen Jing, the Emperor of the Central Plains, King Rui, and the ministers of the vassal state.
Seeing their prince together with Ye Shaohua, the minister from the vassal state turned pale with fright, "You... How are you together with Her Highness the Noble Consort?"
The vassal state minister, after noticing the prince seeking unusual details about that woman following the Palace Banquet, had looked up her information and found she was not only a noble consort but also the daughter of General Ye, a revered and untouchable figure.
"You’re saying she’s the same discarded Ye Noble Consort?" Instead of fear, the prince’s reply came contemplative upon hearing him.
"Your highness, with all due respect, this is not the time to ponder that; let’s think of what to do next!" The minister said anxiously.
The vassal state prince waved his hand, murmuring, "The Emperor of Central Plains seems a bit shortsighted."
The minister was taken aback, about to ask why when he was interrupted by Yuwen Jing’s voice nearby.
"Ye Noble Consort, you have truly disappointed Us," Yuwen Jing looked down at Shaohua from his lofty position with undisguised disappointment on his face, and heartbrokenly declared, "Guards, the Noble Consort has conspired with the enemy. Take Ye Noble Consort to the dungeon."
