379. Chapter 379 The concubine feels worthless for the emperor
Seeing that Dequan dared to stop her directly, Concubine Xia Shu was furious and said, "What a bold slave, who gave you the courage to stop me here?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not very bold. I am just fulfilling my duty and criticizing you."
Although Dequan was a slave, his tone of voice seemed neither humble nor arrogant.
After all, he had grown up in the palace, and he had long been accustomed to the concubines' faces.
Furthermore, Xia Shuting was just a new concubine. Even the queen had never treated her like this before, yet a little concubine had her nose in his face.
"You are a bitch slave. You are so impatient that you have delayed what I wanted to tell the emperor. Can you afford it?"
In the imperial study, Nangong Shuo was flipping through the memorials. Xia Shuting's arrogant and rude voice outside the door had already penetrated his ears, causing a trace of impatience to flash in his eyes.
Frowning, he put the memorial aside and said in a calm voice, "Let her in."
Now that Nangong Shuo had spoken, Dequan Tianzi had no reason to stop Xia Shuting, so he immediately moved out of the way.
"Mother, please!"
"Hmph!! A dog slave who doesn't know whether to live or die!!"
After getting Nangong Shuo's permission, Xia Shuting looked even more proud and domineering, and then walked in from outside the imperial study.
Seeing Nangong Shuo, Xia Shuting immediately changed her face and stepped forward to salute: "I have met the emperor."
"Get up."
Nangong Shuo was not always used to giving a good look to Xia Shuting, or to women other than Shangguan Yu, even though he knew that Xia Shuting was an excellent chess piece in his hands to contain Xia Feiliang.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Shuting did not notice the impatience in Nangong Shuo's eyes. She always subjectively believed that Nangong Shuo actually liked her.
"What do you want from me?"
Seeing Nangong Shuo asking, he was playing into Xia Shuting's hands. Seeing her frowning, a bit of dissatisfaction rose on her face, "Your Majesty, I feel unworthy of you in my heart, that's why I can't help being like this."
I’m anxious to find you.”
"What's going on?"
Nangong Shuo's impatient voice dropped slightly.
Finally, Xia Shuting vaguely heard the hint of displeasure in Nangong Shuo's mouth, and did not dare to say any more, so she took out the scarecrow from her sleeve and handed it to Nangong Shuo, "Your Majesty, look at it!!"
There was a bit of coquettishness in the tone of the complaint, which seemed to be flattering, but there was a look of gloating in his eyes.
Shangguan Yu, just wait and see.
Nangong Shuo looked at the scarecrow handed over by Xia Shuting in front of him. The three words "Nangong Shuo" on it were too conspicuous.
Although he didn't know what it was, the handwriting of the word made him feel faintly uneasy.
"What's this?"
"Your Majesty, this is a scarecrow made by the Empress herself, specifically to curse you. Look at the pinholes on this paper, they were made by the Empress."
As if she was afraid that a scarecrow would not be powerful enough, Xia Shuting explained in a way that added fuel to the flames.
But after hearing her answer, Nangong Shuo remained silent for a long time, just looking at the thing without making a sound, his eyes deep and calm, and no emotion could be seen.
Xia Shuting was a little surprised at Nangong Shuo's calm reaction, but she would not be willing to let Shangguan Yu escape so easily this time.
Before Nangong Shuo spoke, he continued: "Your Majesty, I know that you are good to the Queen. It is because of this that I am not worthy of the Emperor. It is too heartless for the Queen to curse you like this." Jian Dequan dared to be direct.
Concubine Xia Shu was furious when she stopped her, "What a bold slave, who gave you the courage to stop me here?"
