Chapter 1277 - 34: The Emperor Has Become a Dog

Eunuch Xue hurried over, and quickly called for someone to fetch the Imperial Physician, then with others, lifted the Emperor’s body onto the bed.

The Emperor did not stay to watch but drifted quickly toward the palace of the Imperial Concubine Shu.

The Imperial Concubine Shu dismissed the servants, leaving Liu Yin to guard outside, and then asked Cao Grand Scholar urgently, "Father, the relationship between the Emperor and Empress seems to have improved, what should we do?"

"Did you get the secret edict?" Cao Grand Scholar asked.

"No! The Emperor suddenly fell ill, where could I have gone to ask for the secret edict?" the Imperial Concubine Shu replied displeased.

"Useless!" Cao Grand Scholar reprimanded.

"Watch your tone when speaking to me. Not requiring you to perform a salute is already an exceptional favor." Hearing Cao Grand Scholar’s scolding, the Imperial Concubine Shu’s anger flared up. Recently, she felt everything was going wrong, and she had long harbored a lot of resentment and anger. Accustomed to being held in high regard, how could she tolerate such reprimand now?

"Have your wings hardened? Have you forgotten how you became an Imperial Concubine?" Cao Grand Scholar, also enraged by the defiance of the Imperial Concubine Shu, let his fury rise.

"Of course, I became one myself. Don’t forget how you became a Grand Scholar!" the Imperial Concubine Shu banged the teacup on the table and said angrily.

The Emperor watched midair, sneering internally, what a scene of dog eat dog.

Uh... wait!

Calling them dogs is to flatter them!

I am the real dog here.

How can these people compare to me?

Damn!

A bunch of wicked villains!

The Emperor thought angrily.

General Cao saw his father and younger sister about to turn against each other and stood up to stop them, "Father, younger sister, calm down, let’s talk it out. Consider the bigger picture; we’re all family, no need to argue."

"Yes, daughter, let’s not argue, let’s first discuss a countermeasure," Madam Cao also spoke up.

"Address me as ’Your Highness’," the Imperial Concubine Shu said coldly to the two in front of her.

"Very well, you are indeed growing wings," Cao Grand Scholar was so aggravated by the Imperial Concubine Shu’s attitude that he trembled a little.

"What? Trying to use filial piety against me? I am the Imperial Concubine, you are ministers, it is you who should be saluting," the Imperial Concubine Shu raised her chin and sneered, "Regarding the matter of the Cao Noblewoman, don’t think that I am unaware. Liu Yin is very loyal to you all, yet I can’t make use of her; you should take her back later."

General Cao was stunned, so his younger sister knew?

Cao Grand Scholar, exasperated, retorted, "Rebellious, rebellious, you ungrateful girl!"

"Who is the one who wants a rebellion? You want to support the child in my womb to be Emperor, make my son a puppet, change the national title back to the former dynasty’s name to restore the nation, your dreams are too grand. Do you think that just because you elevated an Imperial Concubine Shu, you can elevate an Imperial Concubine Chen or Imperial Concubine Wang?" the Imperial Concubine Shu replied coldly. It must be said that as Cao Grand Scholar’s daughter, she understood her father’s character well.

On hearing these words, the Emperor was struck as if by lightning, his mind left in complete shock.

The Cao Family, they are actually remnants of the previous dynasty?!

And they could come up with such a plot to steal the throne.

"Silence, you are mad!" Cao Grand Scholar’s face changed dramatically, shouting angrily.

"Younger sister, watch your words!" General Cao’s face changed greatly as well.

"Be careful. If someone hears, it’s over," Madam Cao also said, her face pale with fear, as she stood up at once.

The Imperial Concubine Shu, however, sneered coldly, "Your plan depended on me, yet you treat me such a way? Father, are you senile? Do you really believe you are still the head of the family, forgetting how your senior officer position came to be? Who brought glory to the Cao Family now?"
