"Then you should ask the emperor, not the concubine," Ye Qingmian said without being humble or overbearing.
"If you hadn't confused the Emperor, why would the Emperor have stayed here?" The Empress Dowager finally became furious.
"The husband and wife are in love with each other, so why is there so much talk about bewitching?" Ye Qingmian looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes and said calmly.
"You actually... actually... hum..." The Queen Mother's fingers trembled in anger, and she couldn't say anything for a moment.
He looked straight at Ye Qingmian, and finally said in a dull voice, "Just wait and see, keep your dog eyes wide open for the Ai family to see clearly whether you are in charge of this harem or the Ai family is in charge."
"Of course it is the Queen Mother who is in charge. I am a humble person, how can I compare with you? Compared with me, a bitch slave, you are not afraid of losing your status." Ye Qingmian said with a mocking face.
"Let's go." The Queen Mother almost fainted after hearing this, but she just sneered and left angrily after saying this.
"Farewell to the Queen Mother," Ye Qingmian said lightly.
"Hey, has the Empress Dowager left already?" Wan'er brought the tea and said with a bit of pity, "This is the best Biluochun from this year's spring."
"Give it to me." Only then did Ye Qingmian realize that she was already covered in cold sweat. She said to Wan'er very weakly.
"Master, are you okay?" Wan'er handed over the tea respectfully and asked with concern.
"It's okay..." Ye Qingmian said reluctantly. It's strange that nothing happened. She was actually confronting the empress dowager of this dynasty just now. She didn't know how she had such courage just now.
"It's all a slave's fault. It's embarrassing for the master." Wan'er lowered her head sadly.
"It's fine"
Ye Qingmian looked at Wan'er. Her face was already red and swollen, but she didn't complain. She couldn't help but asked a little distressedly, "Does it hurt? Have you been punished often before?"
"It doesn't hurt, my slave." Wan'er looked at Ye Qingmian flattered and shook her head in panic, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Silly girl, how could it not hurt?" Ye Qingmian said lightly.
"I'm used to it," Wan'er said. "I'm just worried that the master has offended the Queen Mother for my sake. You have to be even more cautious in the harem in the future."
"Why do you say that?" Ye Qingmian asked curiously
