This scared Elder Du, making him whimper and lower his body closer to the floor.
"Are you ignoring me?" The stern voice of the emperor sounded throughout the courtroom.
Then the sounds of hurried steps were heard.
Imperial Concubine Du's supporting her belly as she's half running and half walking.
Behind her were her servants chasing after her. Fear was deeply engraved into their hearts as they fear that Imperial Concubine Du will accidentally miscarriage.
However, no matter how hard they try to hold Imperial Concubine Du down, they'll just get thrown off as their cultivation level were way below Imperial Concubine Du's.
The eunuch standing just outside the court's door, walked in front of the imperial Concubine blocking her way with his arm stretched across.
Bumping into someone so suddenly angered Imperial Consort Du. A lowly eunuch dared to block her way and also touch her too!
The eunuch stood unmoving even after that little bump. "Your Highness, the emperor and the ministers are having a meeting. Please come back another-"
The more words that came out of the eunuch's mouth angered her more by the second. Her patience was running out and her temper was flaring. Rage boiled through her body. She barely had a chance to think of her actions. The only thought running through her head was getting the eunuch to get out of her way.
Imperial Concubine Du pursed her lips and raised her hand back. She threw her hand forward as hard as she could, whipping it across the eunuch's face. The crack of skin contacting skin was heard even by the lowest cultivators within the court. The eunuch was slapped hard to the ground. He sat up a bit to stare, dumbfounded at the imperial concubine.
Vibrations of pain started in Imperial Consort Du's palm and spread all the way to her fingertips. Her palm was bright red, the same red mark that matched the one on the eunuch's face. The eunuch stared at her with his eyes wide as his hand slowly made it to his fire red cheek.
Imperial Concubine Du should've felt some kind of remorse or regret. But she didn't. Not one organ in her body could produce guilt for her actions. A triumphant grin spread across her face she whirled on her heel and marched towards the courtroom.
Everyone in the courtroom heard the slap that occurred just outside. Then they saw the Imperial Concubine Du entered. Tears had formed in the rims of her eyes too.
Yin Xing Tan, seeing her "pitiful" appearance, made him dumbfounded. You slapped someone, but why are you trying to act wronged for?
However disgusted the emperor is with Imperial Concubine Du, he still has to care for his concubine. Lest the ministers will gossip and complain.
"Du He, what happened that makes you look like this?"
It seems as if Consort Du/Du He didn't hear the coldness in his voice or that she ignored it. "Your majesty, just now a eunuch outside tried to molest me. You have to get justice for me!" Tears started falling from Du He's eyes.
Yun Yun: Just like her name, she's really like a lotus flower. Besides, who molested whom now?
He-lotus flower
The emperor didn't say anything, worrying Du He as she sneaked a glance towards her brother, Elder Du. Then Du He quickly glared at the ministers that are on her side.
