Chapter 1722 Help Me Slap Her
The emperor and others found it utterly absurd.
It's one thing to dream of being scolded by the Emperor Emeritus, and it's another to dream of a dream that feels so real, but why would they dream of a woman they don't recognize?
Was it summoned by the retired emperor?
Even the Emperor, who had dreamt of the retired Emperor multiple times and was considered experienced, was completely bewildered.
"Father, could this be one of your former concubines?" the Emperor couldn't help but ask.
If a concubine died when he was young, it would be normal for her to be with his father.
Did they meet again underground and then agree to enter each other's dreams?
Upon hearing this, the retired emperor raised his hand and slapped the emperor on the head.
"What nonsense are you spouting? If you keep talking nonsense, you're not leaving this dream. Just stay here!"
Madam Sheng originally held the Emperor in some awe, but upon hearing him say such things, she couldn't help but glare at him.
"How can the emperor speak so carelessly?"
"You fan that one first," the Emperor Emeritus gestured to her.
The empress was shocked, furious, and felt extremely ashamed.
"Your Majesty, your daughter-in-law..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Sheng was already in front of her and slapped her across the face.
That slap was really loud.
Sheng San Niangzi was still extremely restrained, not daring to reveal even a trace of her cultivation. Otherwise, the Empress of Great Zhou would really be trapped in her dream and would be slapped to death here.
Although she had already restrained her cultivation, the empress's face still swelled up quickly.
What shocked the Queen even more than this was that she felt real pain!
It hurt so much, she almost cried.
For a moment, the Empress forgot her grudges with the Emperor, covered her face, and asked him, "Isn't this a dream?"
When the Emperor saw her being slapped and looking at him pitifully, her expression reminiscent of her youth, his heart stirred, and a strange sense of nostalgia welled up within him. He reached out and gently touched her face. "It was a dream..."
"It's a dream, why am I in so much pain?" The Empress's eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall.
"This..." The Emperor looked at Madam Sheng and said in a deep voice, "How dare you! You actually dare to strike the Empress?!"
Since she wasn't one of the Emperor Emeritus's concubines, and he summoned her, could she have been a palace maid who served him in the past?
If she was a palace maid, then she was a servant.
The Emperor dared not utter a word to the Retired Emperor, and could only turn to Lady Sheng, "I will cut off your head... Ah!"
With a thud, the Emperor Emeritus tapped his head again.
"You don't have that ability!"
Sheng San Niangzi vanished in a flash.
She returned to the west courtyard, where Frog Brother was calling her, asking if she was drunk.
Madam Sheng sat up, still not fully recovered.
"Did I just fall asleep?"
"It's like taking a nap," Frog Bro said.
Madam Sheng jumped up, quite astonished. "That Emperor Emeritus is truly amazing! He actually managed to pull me into his dream like that!"
"what?"
Frog Bro was puzzled.
The retired emperor guessed that Lady Sheng had woken up, which was why she suddenly disappeared from his dream.
However, he himself was quite surprised that he was able to get Madam Sheng into his dream.
He was just trying it out.
The Empress's actions disgusted the Emperor Emeritus, but he felt it was inconvenient for him to take action against her, so he tried to summon Lady Sheng.
To my surprise, it actually succeeded.
Now, Madam Sheng has accomplished her mission, slapping the Empress in the face for him.
Next, it's time for the retired emperor to scold him.
“What’s wrong with hitting you? Don’t you think you deserve to be hit? Do you even remember you’re a mother?! For so many years you’ve ignored your son, hiding away for peace and quiet, wallowing in self-pity, and haven’t made any progress in over a decade!”
"Even if you don't take good care of Aze yourself, you should at least remember the person who helped you take care of your son! Ayue has been wholeheartedly devoted to Aze for so many years and has helped him in everything. It's one thing if you don't express your gratitude, but as soon as you leave your comfortable nest, you want to ruin his happy occasion!"
The Emperor said weakly from the side, "Father, I have taken care of the Crown Prince..." He is his son, so why does it sound like Zhou Shiyue raised the Crown Prince?
"You're talking nonsense!!!"
Before the Emperor could finish speaking, the Retired Emperor erupted in fury.
"If I hadn't said anything, you should have just shrunk back and been thankful for it. Why are you sticking your huge head out at me?! Ask yourself honestly, how many times have you taken care of A-Ze since he was a child? How many times have you taught him? When he was sick, when he was injured, did you ever care?"
The retired emperor pointed at the emperor and then at the empress, saying, "As for the times he suffered injustices, I won't go into details. Guess why? Because the greatest injustices A-Ze has suffered since childhood were all inflicted on him by the two of you! It hasn't been easy for him to live to this day!"
The empress was pale, her body swayed, and she seemed about to collapse.
She said the Emperor had wronged her, but in fact, the Emperor still had some affection for her. He was indifferent, but over the years, he had never allowed anyone to disturb the Empress, nor had he allowed anyone else in the harem to have the opportunity to reach into the Empress's Buddhist temple.
Therefore, no concubine dared to go to the Empress and say a single unpleasant word to her, and when Granny Huan went to collect any items, no steward or chief eunuch dared to mock her.
The Empress hadn't heard a single harsh word in a very, very long time.
Now, after being scolded so fiercely by the Emperor Emeritus, she could hardly bear it.
"No, that's not how it is..."
She covered her ears with her hands and screamed in despair, "I don't want to sleep anymore! I want to wake up! Wake up!"
This dream is terrifying, she needs to wake up immediately!
She had never thought about these things before, so why did she dream about them? Moreover, the Emperor Emeritus's furious face was so clear, and every word he said to her was so clear. No dream is like this!
The emperor shrank back and dared not speak.
When the Empress Dowager saw him like this, she couldn't help but want to curse him: "Coward! He has been on the throne for so many years now, and he is now the Emperor of Great Zhou. The old man, the Retired Emperor, is already dead. Why should he be afraid of him?"
With such a timid and hesitant demeanor, where is the slightest bit of imperial majesty? It's such a waste that she supported him and invested so much in him before; he's hopeless!
The Empress Dowager dared to curse the Emperor in her heart, but she didn't dare to utter a sound, forgetting that she had acted the same way when she was cursed earlier.
“You all have no regard for A-Yue and A-Ze, but when they need something, you rush to them to put on airs. I ask you, where do you get the nerve to be so arrogant?!”
The retired emperor launched into a tirade of angry words.
This dream was truly unbearable for them.
However, at the crack of dawn the next day, the Emperor Emeritus, tired of cursing, pulled out his whip and cracked it with a whoosh, shattering the dream and kicking all three of them out of their dreams.
"Forget about sleeping, get out there and stay up all night!"
So, the three empress dowagers, who were sleeping in their respective palaces, suddenly sat up in bed, gasping for breath, as if they had just escaped from a dark prison and were feeling like they had survived a calamity.
