Chapter 269: Scandal at the Palace!

" Would you care to explain what the heck is going on here?" The empress dowager shouted.

The emperor didn't know how to explain the situation to his mother. He was searching for words and seeing as the empress dowager was waiting for his response, he decided to be as honest as possible.

" Mother, this isn't what you think." He uttered straightforwardly.

" Explain yourself so that I can understand!" The empress dowager was ready to listen to her son's explanation. As to say, she was willing to give him a chance to justify himself.

" This is what happened!"

The emperor explained the situation to both the empress dowager and the princess. He told them how Wei got sick and how none of the doctors he contacted were available and how he thought of turning to Ying Yue for help. He told them things as they truly happened, hoping with his explanation, his mother will believe him and stop overreacting.
