Chapter 4096: Birthday Party (5)
After hearing that the empress dowager had left the imperial palace, the empress immediately sent someone to the Dugu family to invite her sister- in-law here.
She knew perfectly well that the Dugu family was connected to the Dayan Empire.
When Princess Yan Ling of the Dayan Empire came to the Junwu Empire, the Dugu family had secretly switched sides. Of course, only a handful of people knew about it, even the younger generation wasn't aware.
Emperor Wu was kept in the dark.
The empress dowager was on the move.
She was traveling in a carriage.
Granny Lan and Granny Gui had been with the empress dowager for a long time, and Granny Lan had always liked Feng Wu. However, Granny Gui was close to Empress Dugu, so it was obvious that she was hostile toward Feng Wu.
The empress dowager kept a straight face and wouldn't say a word. The air she gave off made everyone shiver. Granny Lan said, "Your Majesty, actually, Feng Wu...'
The empress dowager glared at her.
Granny Lan couldn't utter a word.
Granny Gui smirked inwardly. That stupid Granny Lan had no idea how angry the empress dowager was. She was still trying to defend Feng Wu.
Granny Gui whispered, "Your Majesty, shall we take Feng Wu and leave as soon as we get there, or shall we..."
The empress dowager glanced at her, but it was obvious that the look in her eyes softened a little.
But the empress dowager still didn't say anything.
Granny Gui whispered again, "Everyone says that Feng Wu is a fast cultivator. I wonder what level she has reached. What if she's already very capable..."
The empress dowager snorted.
"Very capable? How capable can she be?
"Have you forgotten? She only started cultivating again two years ago. How far can she go in those two years? What did she give you? Why do you think so highly of her?!"
Granny Gui didn't dare to utter a word...
She had given the empress dowager a hint before she left the imperial palace because she had more information than the old lady and knew that Feng Wu was at least a Spiritual Saint.
However, the empress dowager had brought Nameless, her most capable secret guard, with her.
Nameless had been protecting the empress dowager in secret and was a Level-I Spiritual Saint. That should be enough.
Granny Lan spoke in the end.
She then turned to the empress dowager, looking concerned. "Your Majesty, it's New Year's Eve and Feng Wu's birthday. Even if it's for His Royal Highness's own good.. '
The empress dowager glared at Granny Lan. "Why should I depend on her when
I have Junjun? Are you working for her or me?!"
Granny Lan immediately knelt down and sighed inwardly. "Of course, I'm Your Majesty's servant."
The empress dowager snorted. "Shut up! Granny Gui!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Granny Gui immediately knelt down.
The empress dowager threw a dirty look at Granny Lan and said to Granny Gui,
"From now on, you're going to be the maid in charge of Cining Palace!"
Granny Lan used to be in charge, while Granny Gui was the deputy one. After all these years, Granny Gui had done everything she could to get that position, but now, it had come so easily.
Granny Gui immediately came back to herself and kowtowed to the empress dowager. "Thank you, Your Majesty..."
The empress dowager gave Granny Lan a sidelong glance.. "I only want loyal people!"
