Pregnant with Twins: Poison Doctor Consort is Too Hard to Please

Chapter 38

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and asked, “Su Qian, do you know why I came to find you today?”

“I know.” Seeing that the Empress Dowager didn’t ask her to rise, Su Qian maintained her posture and straightened her back. “If I’m not wrong, the Empress Dowager has called me into the palace for the Ninth Prince.” contemporary romance

“Hmph, it seems like you also know that you seduced Ninth Brother!” Su Qian, you’re just a woman who has lost her chastity. How dare you dream of entering the royal family? How dare you!” Princess Xuehua scoffed.

Su Qian didn’t like to respond to Princess Xuehua, but when she saw the Empress Dowager looking at her with a cold expression, she couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

The current Emperor didn’t like Xiao Yan, and he had always kept a low profile and was very unremarkable. He was a paralyzed prince who couldn’t cultivate, but he was able to become a king and have his own palace all thanks to the Empress Dowager. She had so many grandsons, but Xiao Yan was the only one she doted on. No matter what others said, in her eyes, Xiao Yan was the best child in the world. So, a woman like Su Qian naturally wouldn’t enter the Empress Dowager’s eyes.

Su Qian didn’t cry or give any aggrieved explanations. She remained calm as she spoke her true thoughts. “Please understand, Empress Dowager. I have no such intentions.”

“Why should I believe you?” The Empress Dowager’s face was cold, and her gaze seemed to see through Su Qian. “Su Qian, you’ve been gone for six years, and you shouldn’t have come back. Now that you’re back, you’ve made Xiao Yan fall head over heels for you. You’re giving me a difficult problem.”

“It is my fault for making the Empress Dowager worried. May I be so bold as to ask the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial decree to break off my engagement with the Ninth Prince?” Su Qian said directly.

“What?” Princess Xuehua’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Su Qian suspiciously. “Mother, don’t be fooled by this little b*tch. She’s definitely playing hard to get. You…”

Before Princess Xuehua could finish her sentence, the Empress Dowager’s impatient gaze swept over her. “Xuehua, even though you are not my biological daughter, you are still my adopted daughter. How can you speak in such a vulgar manner?”

Princess Xuehua shrunk back in fear and quickly explained, “Mother, you’ve misunderstood me. I just think that Su Qian is a glib talker and a cunning one. I’m worried that you’ll be deceived by her.”

“Su Qian, are you telling the truth? Lying to me is a capital crime.” The Empress Dowager’s aura was overbearing, suppressing Su Qian.

Su Qian kneeled on the ground with her back straight and her Phoenix-like eyes full of light. She knew that the Empress Dowager was here to make things difficult for her, but she didn’t show a trace of fear.

A hint of surprise appeared in the Empress Dowager’s eyes.

Her heart was not bad, but it was a pity that she was a woman who had lost her chastity.

Furthermore, Su Qian had two children. Once a woman like her entered the Ninth Prince’s Residence, she would bring ridicule to Xiao Yan. She could not tolerate this.

“Empress Dowager, I’m serious. I already have two children, and the Ninth Prince is a proud son of the heavens. This commoner doesn’t want to hold up the Ninth Prince. Moreover, I have no desire for the Ninth Prince. Empress Dowager, please understand.” Su Qian looked at the Empress Dowager expectantly.

It’s good that the Empress Dowager doesn’t like her. It’s best if she can directly destroy the engagement between her and Xiao Yan with an imperial decree!

Princess Xuehua was so happy that she almost laughed out loud, secretly calling Su Qian an idiot.

This was the reason why the Empress Dowager had called Su Qian into the palace today. Who knew that Su Qian would be so stupid as to take the initiative to cancel the engagement? How could the Empress Dowager reject her?

Princess Xuehua looked expectantly at the Empress Dowager beside her but was surprised to see the reluctance on the Empress Dowager’s face.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, Princess Xuehua was dumbfounded.

What was going on? Did the Empress Dowager change her mind?
