Long Live the Empress

Chapter 217 Desire for Power

As soon as Yue Yuyan entered the room, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange. Looking at the old lady with a gloomy face and then at the smug mother and daughter of the Su family, Yue Yuyan began to feel nervous in her heart.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother~"

The old lady waved her hand casually and asked Yue Yuyan to sit down.

What happened today made Yue Yuyan feel a little unwell, so her walking posture was very awkward.

The old lady was already in a bad mood, and seeing Yue Yuyan walking like this, she shouted sternly: "Look at what you look like? Have you learned all the etiquette in vain?"

Although Yue Yuyan was very thick-skinned, she felt a little embarrassed to be criticized by the old lady in front of so many people. "My granddaughter was feeling unwell, so I lost my manners. Please forgive me, grandmother!"

After hearing what Yue Yuyan said, the old lady could no longer make use of the situation and finally just snorted coldly.

Aunt Su didn't want to let Yue Yuyan go, so she continued to talk along with Yue Yuyan's words: "Why doesn't the old lady ask why our third young lady is feeling unwell? Hehe..."

When the old lady heard this, she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart, "Yuyan...what happened? Why are you feeling unwell?"

Yue Yuyan's face suddenly turned red, she bit her lips tightly, and mumbled for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.

Aunt Su covered her face with her hands, laughing so hard that her body shook. "Old Madam, you don't know! Today, the Third Miss was in the limelight! Even the Emperor, the Empress, and the Ninth Prince witnessed it with their own eyes... Hehe!"

"What did you witness?" The old lady clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand tightly. Yue Yuyan had made a fool of herself at a banquet before, and was punished by the princess to go to Changqing Temple. This time, the emperor personally ordered the winter banquet. If she offended the emperor, it would be a serious crime...

The old lady was getting more and more frightened and scared the more she thought about it. "Why don't you speak? Are you mute?"

Yue Yuyan looked at Aunt Su who was provoking her, hardened her heart, closed her eyes and shouted loudly: "The Emperor has granted me the status of a concubine to enter the Fourth Prince's mansion!"

Yue Yuyan waited for a long time with her eyes closed, but did not hear the expected angry sound, so she opened her eyes and looked at the old lady.

The old lady sitting in the main seat had a livid face and was gasping for breath. However, the harder she breathed, the more tightness in her chest she felt. After only three breaths, the old lady fell into the arms of Nanny Zhang.

"Someone come quickly! Go get a doctor! Someone come quickly..."

The house was in chaos. The servants hurriedly carried the old lady onto the bed and waited anxiously for the doctor.

Yue Yuyan was also frightened. She shrank behind the maid, secretly glanced at the old lady and immediately looked away. The old lady at this time seemed like a dead person. No matter how Madam Zhang shook her or pinched her Ren Zhong, she was unconscious.

Aunt Su asked Nanny Li to hold Yue Jinghong and said coldly, "Help the Second Miss go back quickly! The baby in the Second Miss's belly is the eldest grandson of the emperor. If she gets hit and something happens in the Yue Mansion, none of us can escape responsibility!"

After hearing this, the servants were so frightened that they fell silent, and even Aunt Zhang couldn't help but lower her voice.

Aunt Su smiled with satisfaction, grabbed Yue Jinghong's hand and said, "Second Miss, you see! This is the status of the royal family!"

Yue Jinghong stroked her belly and secretly prayed to God that she would be pregnant with a prince! Because she was thirsty for power!
