Chapter 3249 - 3250: You... You Hit Me?
"Father, look at Mother’s complexion, it’s so poor. Is she ill? How can you let her come to the palace with us when she’s not well? She should be resting at home."
"Uh!"
The head of the Zui Family was choked by her words.
He turned his head, away from Ming’er’s view, and fiercely glared at his wife.
If she ruins his plan to save Chun’er, he definitely won’t let this woman have a good time; truly, she’s more of a hindrance than a help!
Madam Zui was startled by her husband’s glare, feeling a pang of dread.
She looked up at Ming’er, her gaze as venomous as if it could poison her to death.
Why was this woman so meddlesome? Her poor complexion was just because she was worried about Chun’er. Chun’er was alone in Quan Palace, who knows what might happen to her.
"Her Majesty the Empress misunderstood. I was only worried about Chun’er’s well-being in the palace, and thus, I slept poorly last night."
She shifted everything onto Zui Yichun, using this as an opening to bring out her suffering daughter, forcing Ming’er to release her.
"Is Mother suggesting someone in the palace might mistreat Fifth Younger Sister?" Ming’er raised her eyebrows and asked.
"How can one be sure? Perhaps..."
Madam Zui wanted to say, perhaps Ming’er intentionally wanted to make things difficult for her daughter.
Ming’er feared her daughter might one day be favored by the emperor, causing her to lose her empress position, so she wouldn’t treat Chun’er well. Who knows how much suffering she endured just overnight?
"You shut up!"
But before she could finish speaking, she swallowed her words under the head of the Zui Family’s stern command.
"Her Majesty the Empress, please don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense. Chun’er, being in the palace, how could she be mistreated?"
He quickly spoke up to smooth things over for Ming’er.
Zui Yichun even if she suffered in the palace, it was under the emperor’s decree. As subjects, could they criticize the emperor?
The Zui Family’s current status was all thanks to Ming’er. If they truly offended Ming’er, who was currently favored, the emperor might not even consider Ming’er’s influence!
Would the Zui Family fare well then?
"Hmm."
Ming’er nodded.
"Father is right. Chun’er entering Quan Palace was by the emperor’s decree. Even this empress cannot meet Chun’er at will."
Hinting, she spoke to both of them.
"Uh."
Madam Zui was choked by her words.
How could it be true that Ming’er cannot see Chun’er? This must be a lie meant to pacify them.
But the infuriating thing was, even knowing Ming’er’s words were deceitful, she was unable to refute them, which was utterly frustrating.
"Her Majesty the Empress..."
"However, knowing Mother was coming today, I asked the emperor to show mercy early on..."
"Really?"
Hearing her words, Madam Zui’s eyes lit up.
"Ming’er, did the emperor agree to let you bring Chun’er over? That’s wonderful... ah!"
Before she could finish, she was slapped hard by the head of the Zui Family beside her. She looked at her husband in disbelief.
"You... you hit me?"
Madam Zui held her burning cheek and asked him.
"You shut up for the head of the family!"
