Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 785

785 Empress Dowager Yan’s Decision (1)

“Your Highness!”

Even before they reached Empress Dowager Yan, there was already a cry. The cry were 4 points miserable, 3 points heartbreaking, and 4 more points pitiful. In other words, it sounded like a pig cry.

Empress Dowager Yan glanced to the source and saw her second aunt along with her own father. Her cold gaze looked unreadable as she nodded faintly. “Second Aunt.”

The woman called Second Aunt was the sister of Empress Dowager Yan’s father. She could be said to be part of the Yan Family and naturally enjoyed the benefit of being the aunt of the Empress Dowager.

(Note: Empress Dowager Yan is only in her twenties. She’s the second Empress after the first Empress died during Emperor Xuan’s Reign, who is Emperor Yang Zhou’s father)

“It’s only now that you allow us to enter?”

“Is this how you should interact with an Imperial Family member?” Empress Dowager Yan asked coldly.

Her second aunt trembled and wanted to point finger at Empress Dowager Yan, but she didn’t dare to. Because of her action from before, it was already made known that the Yan Family was not welcomed in the palace.

They had become a joke in the Capital City.

.....

If she dared to do it again, she was afraid that she would be the joke in the Capital City for the second time.

“Calm down.” Empress Dowager Yan’s father looked at his daughter. It has been so many years. After Empress Dowager Yan’s antics back then, he hadn’t been wanting to see her at all.

Even when Empress Dowager Yan came back to Yan Family Residence on her third day of marriage, her father didn’t talk to her.

He was disappointed in her.

Empress Dowager Yan knew that, so she merely looked at her father. She knew her mistakes back then was not something that could be forgiven so easily. However, she still held onto the faint believe that her father would still at least look in her direction.

Her wish was granted.

But not in the way she wanted.

“Your Highness, this subject wants to ask you to plead for leniency on behalf of Yan Family,” Empress Dowager Yan’s father cupped his fist and spoke slowly.

The Second Madam Yan now looked at Empress Dowager Yan more fiercely. It seemed that after had the backing of Empress Dowager Yan’s father, First Master Yan, she had grown fearless.

Empress Dowager Yan ignored this unsightly woman and merely looked at her father. He had aged since the last time she saw him, but his dignified look and behavior was still the same as before.

But he was looking at her was if he was looking at a stranger.

Empress Dowager Yan’s fingers clenched into a fist, but she held it back. Calming herself down, she merely looked in the direction of her father with the calmest look possible. “What makes you think Ben Gong will help you, First Master Yan?”

Her unhurried words caused the light within First Master Yan to dim slightly.

The two of them were in a stalemate, not saying anything for the next few seconds.

But Second Madam Yan was not as patient as these two. Her veins bulged when she heard Empress Dowager Yan’s words.

“He’s your father!”

Empress Dowager Yan arched her eyebrows. “Slap her mouth.”

A maidservant moved forward and slapped Second Madam Yan’s mouth without hesitation.

Slap!

With her cheek red and tingling, Second Madam Yan looked in the direction of Empress Dowager Yan in disbelief. She didn’t expect this cowardly and easy to manipulate girl would suddenly be so hard to control like this.

Empress Dowager Yan’s eyes were cold and icy. “This is not an outsider place to meddle.”

Her words caused Second Madam Yan’s eyes to widen. Before she could say anything more, the nearest maidservant had already gagged her mouth. They didn’t need any order because they knew that Empress Dowager Yan was already using up her patience in dealing with this kind of woman.

“Mmph!” (I’m your aunt! How dare you say that I’m not your relatives?)

Madam Yan was on the verge of exploding. If not because her mouth was gagged, she would have long cursed Empress Dowager Yan.

Empress Dowager Yan’s father looked at his sister and frowned. Even at this time, he wondered how in the world his father produced a woman like this. She only knew how to create trouble no matter where they went.

But as a brother, he couldn’t just leave her be.
