Chapter 1138: Prince Li's Extra: Debt Collection
Dong Guifei's face turned pale. She glared at Ah Man fiercely, wishing she could eat her up.
This hateful woman, she played tricks on the emperor and herself yesterday, but now she dared to shout in front of her.
"Don't rely on your status to act lawless here. This is Da Zhou, not Bei'an."
Dong Guifei's voice was loud when she shouted, but she was not confident enough. Even if this was not Bei'an, she was the most beloved daughter of the Emperor of Bei'an. As long as Da Zhou did not want to be hostile to Bei'an, Da Zhou had to treat her as a guest of honor.
"I wonder if Guifei knows that you were shouting at the queen just now, and you are just a concubine."
The contempt and disdain in the words were something that Dong Guifei had not felt for many years. For a moment, she felt extremely ashamed and angry.
"Your Highness escaped death, and you came to Ruyi Palace just to show off? Then please leave first, I have something to discuss with Murong Kai." Ah Man couldn't stand the face of Concubine Dong. If it weren't for her status, she would have driven her out long ago.
"Since the emperor has deep feelings for the concubine, the concubine should go back and take good care of the emperor, and don't let the emperor down." The queen obviously had the same idea as Ah Man. Concubine Dong's acting was too poor, and they didn't even want to watch it. What they wanted most now was to turn a blind eye.
"You, you are so brave, the emperor..., the emperor..."
"Then let the emperor punish us." The queen was not afraid, approached Concubine Dong, and spoke word by word. Concubine Dong was forced to step back step by step, and finally turned around and staggered out of Ruyi Palace.
"Empress, the emperor will not depose the queen, so you don't have to be afraid. If you come to cause trouble again, you can scold or beat her out."
"You little girl, how much do you know about the harem? You are lecturing me." The queen really likes this sharp-tongued girl. Although she was asking, she was smiling when she spoke.
"If the queen does not indulge, how can a person like Concubine Dong be so arrogant in the palace? Besides, if the emperor really wants to depose the queen, this Dong may not be able to support the harem. So, what are you afraid of, queen?"
Aman smiled and talked to the queen, but what he saw was the bitterness mixed in the queen's smile.
"You are still young and don't understand." The queen has endured for many years, and few people know her thoughts. Naturally, she will not talk to a child who has only met twice.
"I don't understand your affairs, but I have seen too many people like Concubine Dong, who is the most aggressive."
Aman knew that the queen didn't want to say more, and she also intended to end the topic, but she still reminded the queen that indulgence would only make them aggressive.
"Didn't you leave the palace? What are you doing here today?" How could the queen not know Ah Man's intentions? Because a few words of comfort made her like this girl who was as bright as the morning sun even more. As she spoke, she had already reached out and held her hand tightly.
"I'm here to collect my debt." Ah Man answered frankly, but the queen was shocked.
"Murong Kai said yesterday that he would repay me for saving my life. I came here today to wait for him to repay me." Ah Man explained in a low voice when she saw the queen's surprised face.
"You... this girl, you are really..." The queen didn't know what to say.
"The princess saved my Ah Kai, I am very grateful, this jade bracelet, give it to the girl, as a reward."
Concubine Jin just watched Ah Man and Concubine Dong fighting, and she was even more unhappy in her heart. Seeing that the queen liked her, she was even more anxious in her heart. She didn't bother to ask the maid to get other gifts. She hurriedly took off the white jade bracelet on her wrist and stuffed it into Ah Man's hand.
