89 This Damn Feeling of Being Unable to Control Your Body, It’s Here Again!
Shen Yaowei would rather copy Buddhist scriptures than face Empress Dowager Su and Su Baohua.
She stood up and bowed to Empress Dowager Su before leaving with Eunuch Wang.
“Your Majesty, I learned a massage technique from a divine doctor. I heard that you haven’t been sleeping well recently. Why don’t I give you a massage? It’s good for your sleep,” Su Baohua said to Empress Dowager Su in a good mood.
Empress Dowager Su nodded slowly.
On the other hand, after Eunuch Wang brought Shen Yaowei to the temple hall, he cleared his throat and said, “Miss Shen, don’t worry and copy the scriptures here. No one will disturb you.”
With that, Eunuch Wang turned around and walked out of the temple hall. After closing the door, he locked it.
Hearing the crisp sound of the lock, the timid expression on Shen Yaowei’s face disappeared, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
After taking out the small puppet from her sleeve, Shen Yaowei looked around and fixed her gaze on the bronze mirror on the cabinet not far away.
She stood up slowly and walked towards the cabinet.
Shen Yaowei took the mirror and sat back down. She placed the mirror and the puppet in front of her, then placed her thumb between her lips and bit it.
Instantly, tears filled her eyes from the pain.
With tears in her eyes, Shen Yaowei drew the same talisman on the mirror and the puppet.
The originally flat mirror suddenly rippled with water-like patterns. Then, the image of the inner hall appeared on the mirror.
Empress Dowager Su was leaning against the soft backrest with her eyes slightly closed, looking like she was enjoying herself.
Su Baohua sat beside her, her hand massaging Empress Dowager Su’s leg.
“The two of them are getting along quite well…” Shen Yaowei said with a smile as she picked up the little puppet.
Su Baohua was originally massaging Empress Dowager Su’s legs with ease. She looked at Empress Dowager Su’s enjoying expression and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Aunt, my love for Prince Zhao can be seen by the heavens and the earth. I don’t want to marry another man in this life. Even if I can’t be Prince Zhao’s main consort, I just hope you can fulfill my wish.”
“I don’t have the final say in this matter.” Empress Dowager Su couldn’t be bothered to look up. “The Emperor has the final say.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt pain in her leg.
Empress Dowager Su’s expression changed in pain. She opened her eyes and looked at Su Baohua in disbelief. “Did you just strangle my leg?”
Su Baohua’s expression was even uglier than Empress Dowager Su’s.
Here it comes.
This damn feeling of not being able to control my body. It’s here again!
“Aunt, I…” Before Su Baohua could explain, she raised her hand uncontrollably and slapped Empress Dowager Su’s face.
There was a crisp slap, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in the inner hall were stunned.
Five red finger marks appeared on Empress Dowager Su’s left cheek. She seemed to be even more shocked and was rooted in place.
Su Baohua’s soul trembled as she looked at the marks on Empress Dowager Su’s face. The despair in her heart drowned her like a tide.
She wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, to explain to the Empress Dowager, but her body wouldn’t listen to her, and she couldn’t even open her mouth.
“You, you…” Empress Dowager Su had never suffered such humiliation. She raised her hand and pointed at Su Baohua shakily.
However, before she could say anything, an extremely exaggerated smile suddenly appeared on Su Baohua’s face. She laughed and raised her hand to slap her right cheek.
