Chapter 2936: Counterattack in the palace: Revenge of the little maid (Part 44)
“Yes, empress dowager.”
Luo Qing Chen followed Concubine Rou into the main hall of the Peaceful Kind Palace. The empress dowager was sitting high above and Fang Yin was standing to the side.
“This concubine greets the empress dowager. Coming this late to see the empress dowager, this concubine asks for the empress dowager’s forgiveness.” Concubine Rou was very calm and there wasn’t any panic in her voice.
“It’s fine.” The empress dowager said in a cold voice, “What is Concubine Rou’s purpose in coming to the Peaceful Kind Palace this late at night?”
“This concubine has something to discuss with the empress dowager, so this concubine asks that the others leave.” Concubine Rou looked at Fang Yin with a cold look in her eyes.
Fang Yin was caught off guard. She wanted to say something, but the empress dowager spoke first.
“Yin’er is a member of this one’s family, so naturally she doesn’t need to leave.” The empress dowager’s eyes fell onto Luo Qing Chen as she said, “As for the maid beside you, since Concubine Rou is talking about an important matter, she should be the one to retreat.”
“Reporting to the empress dowager.” Concubine Rou looked up slightly, “Logically speaking, it should be this concubine’s maid that leaves. But she is related to this matter, so she can’t leave.”
“Then Yin’er doesn’t need to……”
“Empress dowager.” Concubine Rou cut her off and kneeled down to say, “The empress dowager should understand after seeing this jade pendant.”
“Bring it up.”
“Yes, empress dowager.”
Maid Wang took the jade pendant from Concubine Rou and brought it up to the empress dowager.
When the empress dowager saw the jade pendant, her expression changed.
This jade pendant……
“Concubine Rou……Where did you get this jade pendant from!” The empress dowager’s tone changed. It became uneasy and agitated……
“This concubine asks the empress dowager to send the others away.” Concubine Rou still insisted and this time she received an immediate reply.
“Concubine Rou, what is there that Yin’er can’t know? Yin’er……”
“All of you leave.” Before Fang Yin could finish, the empress dowager cut her off. Her kind eyes turned sharp as they swept over everyone and she said, “Without this one’s permission, no one is allowed in.”
“Yes.” Maid Yin immediately gave a look to Fang Yin, indicating for her to stop talking.
Fang Yin felt that someone was trying to get above her, but she couldn’t say anything.
She could only stomp her foot and walk past Luo Qing Chen with an angry look.
“Now you can speak.” The empress dowager’s tone was very anxious. She wanted to know if what Concubine Rou was going to say was the same as what she thought.
“This matter should be for Qing Chen to tell the empress dowager.” Concubine Rou looked at Luo Qing Chen and said, “Tell the empress dowager exactly what you told me.”
Luo Qing Chen lowered her head and said with a calm look, “Reporting to the empress dowager, there really isn’t a story. This jade pendant was left by this servant’s mother. She said to me that if I took this jade pendant to the palace, there was a chance for this servant to find this servant’s father.”
“Peng.” The cup in the empress dowager’s hand fell to the ground and tea splashed all over.
Maid Wang said in a worried voice, “Empress dowager……”
“Don’t come in!” The empress dowager roared before lowering her voice and looking at Luo Qing Chen to say, “Which year were you born?”
“The twenty fifth year, March 20th.” Luo Qing Chen looked up slightly and said, “I was born.”
“Ah.” The empress dowager took a deep breath. Tears instantly filled her eyes and she suddenly looked up at a certain spot, “Previous emperor, this one has finally found it for you. This one has completed the task you gave this one before you died."
