Chapter 2371: Untitled Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lady Gu had begun to make up stories. “Do you think that Lady Ling is a chaste woman? That’s just a mask she wears! In fact…” Feng Wu would never allow anyone to slander her mother like that. She stepped out and raised her hand. Smack! She slapped Lady Gu hard in the face. Lady Gu stared at her in disbelief, and so did everyone else. They had never expected Feng Wu to hit a senior member of the family. “Feng Wu, you —” Before Lady Gu could protest, Feng Wu slapped her again. She used so much force that Lady Gu flew backward. The crowd was astonished. That was such a bold move. Some of them wanted to protest, but they gave up the idea when they saw the crown prince’s face. Instead of shutting up, Lady Gu shouted even louder, as if she had lost her mind. “You’re angry because I’m telling the truth!” She stared at Feng Wu and guffawed. “I’ll tell everyone even if you kill me!” Feng Wu narrowed her eyes. She was about to speak, when there were quick footsteps outside. “His Majesty has arrived. “Her Majesty the Empress has arrived.” WHAT?! Everyone was astonished! Old Mrs. Gu and Lord Gu looked at each other in surprise. His Majesty? How could this be? They would already consider it a great blessing if Empress Dugu sent them a gift for the old lady’s birthday, let alone have the empress here in person. But now, even the emperor was here. What was going on? Mrs. Zuo held old Mrs. Gu’s hand and said excitedly, “Empress Dugu must be here for Prince Jun Linshen!” If the empress was here to support Jun Linshen, then they would be able to stick to their lies. Mrs. Zuo then whispered, “His Majesty and His Royal Highness don’t really get along well.” Old Mrs. Gu was reassured. They had been losing ground because Jun Linyuan supported Feng Wu. Now that His Majesty was here, the crown prince had to give way. At that thought, old Mrs. Gu and Lord Gu grew excited. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢 Everyone knelt down to greet the emperor and the empress. Emperor Wu was obviously angry when he walked in, and the entire crowd could feel it. “Your Majesty —” Everyone greeted him. Wherever the emperor went, the air felt thin. Even the temperature seemed to drop. He sat down in the host seat and glanced at the crowd. Jun Linshen was very excited. He thought that his parents were here to support him because Jun Linyuan had crossed the line. At that thought, he jumped at Emperor Wu and said, “Father, I didn’t do it!”
