Chapter 4133: 4.1733 Personal Admission

The entire palace's furnishings, one could say, contained not a single decent item.

Stepping inside was truly like entering a desolate ruin.

Empress Liu was currently sitting on the only relatively clean bed, panting slightly.

After her repeated smashing and throwing, the furnishings within Rencuan Palace had gone from their past grandeur and exquisiteness to a state where only ordinary objects were displayed.

Even if Her Majesty wanted to smash them, she was welcome to do so.

Anyway, they were all not particularly valuable items.

Today, Her Majesty had another round of smashing. When Duan Yue led Ying into the palace, the head palace maid, Mi Heng, was instructing the younger eunuchs and palace maids to tidy up the broken and scattered items on the floor.

Mi Heng was bending over beside the Empress, softly comforting her about something.

The Empress, whose anger had just subsided, flared up again when she looked up and saw Duan Yue.

Her cold, deep eyes glared menacingly at Duan Yue, and she said furiously, "You still dare to come?"

"Why wouldn't I dare come?" Duan Yue scoffed, a mocking smile touching his lips. He waved his hand. "All of you, withdraw!"

"Who dares!" Empress Liu shrieked, her bloodshot eyes instantly widening like copper bells, glaring fixedly at Duan Yue before her.

"All of you, withdraw!" Duan Yue repeated.

The eunuchs and palace maids quickly bowed and knelt on the ground, saying, "Yes."

Empress Liu yelled at their retreating figures, her voice sharp and bitter. "A bunch of dog servants! Who is your master, anyway? Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"

"All of you, come back! I haven't told you to leave. Who dares defy my imperial decree?"

"You, too, get out!" Duan Yue coldly interrupted the Empress's ranting, his gaze chillingly fixed on Mi Heng, who stood beside the Empress with her head lowered.

"Your Royal Highness, this servant is Her Majesty's personal head palace maid. If Her Majesty doesn't tell this servant to leave, this servant naturally cannot leave."

"Ying," Duan Yue didn't argue with her, simply called out faintly.

Ying immediately understood and rushed forward, grabbing the head palace maid Mi Heng and carrying her out.

Mi Heng immediately shrieked in terror. "You? What are you doing? Your Royal Highness! You cannot treat Her Majesty like that!"

"After all, she is your imperial mother! Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness!"

Her shouts did not reach Duan Yue's ears; Duan Yue quickly dismissed her voice from his mind.

His cold gaze turned to Empress Liu before him, and he smiled, curling his lips. "She truly is a loyal and devoted head palace maid, wouldn't you agree, Empress?"

Empress Liu looked around the inner hall, seeing only herself and Duan Yue. And of course, she was perfectly clear about Duan Yue's strength.

At this moment, she finally couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

"You, you rebellious son, what exactly do you want to do?" Empress Liu said angrily, her voice outwardly fierce but inwardly timid.

"Rebellious son?" Duan Yue smiled noncommittally.

"If your father knew in the afterlife that you, this rebellious son, treated your imperial mother like this less than a day after his death, do you think His Majesty would be so angry that he'd return from the underworld to find you?"

"Father Emperor? Do you truly think Father Emperor would care about these messy affairs?" Duan Yue asked back with a smile. "Do you think... if Father Emperor could manage this, would your Liu family truly suffer the catastrophe of annihilation?"

Empress Liu shrieked loudly, "It was truly you! It was truly you who did it! You rebellious son, rebellious son!!"
