309 glass beads

” What did his majesty say to you?” The Grand Dowager Empress sent her mammy to remind Zhai Tianyu to leave for the respect paying ceremony, she even made sure that her mammy insisted in front of Zhai Tianyu to leave for the Ji family instead of the Liu family, she even told her mammy to tell Zhai Tianyu to stay next to Ji Yu for the next of the ceremony and pay his respects together with Ji Yu such that they all will be able to regain their foothold in the court.

After all, it was Ji Yu and Zhai Tianyu’s close relationship and the subtle impression of her becoming the empress in the future that brought so many alliances to them. But now that her mammy returned, she was telling her a completely different story!

The Mammy who was in charge of sending his majesty to the graveyard lowered her head and shivered, at the same time her eyes glinted with terror. She knew how much the Grand Dowager Empress hated when someone did not finish their job, she was really scared that she will be taken and buried in the backyard of the grand dowager empress without being able to fight which was why she immediately got to her knees in a flurry and then banged her forehead on the floor.

“Please forgive me, your majesty, I did insist in front of his majesty and I told him many times that he should be going to the Ji family to accompany imperial consort Ji but…” she shivered and her words got interrupted because of her sudden pause that was filled with hiccups, this action of hers only annoyed the grand dowager empress who was listening to her.

With an annoyed sigh, she banged her fists on the armrests of the chair on which she was sitting. The Grand Dowager Empress raised her voice and asked with a stern note in her trembling voice that held anger and frustration, ” But what? Did I not tell you to go and tell my grandson that I was sick and that I humbly requested that he should go and pay his respects to the Ji family’s son first? Then why did he go to that worthless concubine’s grave?”

The mammy who was on the floor shivered even more as she gulped and then said, ” I did tell his majesty that but he said that this time the Ji family was in the wrong first and …and your majesty has taught him that he should never be supporting the ones who are in the wrong, which is why he will be going to the Liu family first and then honour your words and teaching since you have worked so hard to raise him.”

“That damned fool!” For the first time in her life the Grand Dowager Empress was feeling this frustrated, she never once thought that there will come a day when she will regret her own words and teaching that she has given to her grandson but unfortunately for her, this day actually came!

She raised her hand that was resting on the chair’s armrest and then rubbed her forehead as a throbbing headache ensued. ” No,” she said with a slight glare directed at no one in particular. “No,” she repeated this time her voice was stronger than before as she pursed her lips in annoyance. “It’s not his majesty who is the fool here, it’s my nephew and his father! And everyone else in that family!”

She brought her hand down on the armrest again causing the wood underneath her hand to creak ominously. “When I was in control of that family, I did nothing wrong even my husband and son believed me more than they believed anyone else, it would have been the same for his majesty as well, he was like a little ant in the palm of my hands, waiting to be crushed and praised for his work but because of these fools, all my hard work has been lost!”

.....

The Grand Dowager Empress spent years making the Emperor believe that the Liu family was a family of corrupt officials and they were aiming for the death of their family. She even very carefully instilled the fact that it was the Liu family who killed her son and Zhai Tianyu’s father which was something she was sure of even if she did not have any evidence.

Years of hard work, where she snatched a son from her mother and raised him as her own son and yet—— all that hard work went down the drain! She was of course the one who taught all those things to Zhai Tianyu because the Ji family was supposed to be the good one in the court but now!

” They are little fools who do not understand anything!” The Grand Dowager Empress’s eyes flashed with worry at the thought of being caught by Zhai Tianyu she knew that if she did not do something she will lose more than just the foothold in the court.

She turned to look at Xiao Mi who was working in her room with a calm and docile look on her face and then said, “Little Mi, go to the Ji family and talk with the head of the family tell him that we need to move forward with the plan of taking the Empress down.”

Her fingers clenched in a fist as the Grand Dowager Empress gritted his teeth hatefully. ” We can no longer let that woman live anymore, tell him that this time I want the heart of that woman instead of the man whom she loved to be thrown into the sea!” As she spoke she clenched the glass beads that she was holding in her hand causing one bead to break.
