Su Qian looked at Princess Xuehua coldly. Her gaze was no different from looking at a dead person.
Completely unaware that she was in trouble, Princess Xuehua said arrogantly, “I’m telling you, even if the Heavenly King comes today, it’s useless. This is the Empress Dowager’s bedroom. If you dare to barge in, you’ll die.”
Killing intent flashed in Su Qian’s eyes. She didn’t give Princess Xuehua a chance to continue being arrogant. Instead, she raised her hand and aimed it at her face, mercilessly delivering two resounding slaps to her face.
With two slaps, half of Princess Xuehua’s face was beaten askew. She immediately raised her voice and let out a mournful wail that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
Princess Xuehua’s eyes widened in disbelief as her body trembled with anger. She stammered in shock, “You, you dare to hit me? How dare you hit me!”
“Get lost, or I’ll kill you.” After saying this, Su Qian mercilessly kicked Princess Xuehua. Though she controlled the force to be non-lethal, she still sent Princess Xuehua flying.
Ignoring Princess Xuehua’s piercing scream that seemed to reach the heavens, Su Qian rushed to the front of the bedroom when the door was opened from the inside.
Empress Dowager, with disheveled gray hair and draped in a cloak, walked out with the help of a nanny. She looked at Su Qian, who had suddenly appeared before her in confusion, and asked in surprise, “Child, why are you here at this time?”
“Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I came here to request the Empress Dowager to give me the Dragon Flame Fruit so that I can save the lives of my two friends. As long as the Empress Dowager is willing to sacrifice, I am willing to use a seventh-grade elixir to exchange with the Empress Dowager.” Su Qian hurriedly bowed and said to the Empress Dowager.
Hearing that Su Qian was willing to offer a seventh-grade elixir, the palace maids and nannies felt their legs go weak.
A seventh-grade elixir! That was something that many people begged and pleaded for and yet may never get to see in their lifetime!
But the Empress Dowager, faced with such a huge temptation, remained calm and looked at Su Qian with an unhappy frown. “You child, why are you being so polite to Imperial Grandmother?” Everything of Imperial Grandmother is yours; you can take whatever you want. There is no need to be polite! Nanny Li, hurry, hurry to the storehouse and bring the herbs Qianqian wanted! Remember, tell them to hold on tight!”
“Yes!” Nanny Li quickly ran to fulfill the order.
“Good child, don’t worry. The medicinal herbs will be sent over soon.” The Empress Dowager held Su Qian’s hand and asked, “Are your friends very seriously ill? Should we invite the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to take a look?”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager wasn’t upset at all after being disturbed by her in the middle of the night, Su Qian was very touched and quickly said, “Today’s actions are really unavoidable, and I hope the Empress Dowager can forgive me.”
“Poor child, I understand you. You are a kind girl. When I heard that you came in the middle of the night, I knew that you must have a hidden reason. I felt sorry for you before I even saw you, so how could I be angry?” The Empress Dowager smiled and pulled Su Qian along as she said, “Poor child, you still have to run around so late at night. It really makes my heart ache. Qianqian, think about it. Is there anything else you need? If there is, you can take it with you.”
Su Qian was about to refuse with a smile when an ear-piercing scream came from behind her.
“Mother!” Princess Xuehua’s voice was extremely sharp. To those who didn’t know, it sounded like a rooster crowing. It immediately attracted everyone’s attention..
