The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1632 - 786 Strongest Empress Dowager! (Second Update)_2

Shangguan Yun could anger a person to death in just three sentences. Wang Xianfei took a deep breath, using all her willpower to resist the urge to stab her!

Wang Xianfei, exuding a powerful aura, said: "If I dare to come, I am not afraid of your betrayal! Because you have no choice!"

Shangguan Yun squinted: "Sounds reasonable. What do you want me to do?"

Seeing her compliance, Wang Xianfei’s expression softened slightly: "It’s simple. At midnight, act like something is wrong, you decide what specifically. Once the news reaches the Imperial Palace, I will come with His Majesty to visit you. Then, you just need to open your eyes, grab my hand, and call me mother!"

Shangguan Yun looked at her with a strange expression: "You want me to play crazy?"

Wang Xianfei snorted coldly: "You’ve even pretended to have amnesia, why not play crazy?"

Shangguan Yun raised an eyebrow: "What if His Majesty doesn’t believe it?"

Wang Xianfei’s face darkened: "That’s your problem. If you can’t make His Majesty believe it, then tomorrow morning, you await exposure!"

This old witch wants me to acknowledge her as my mother, she truly dares to think!

Shangguan Yun put on her shoes, got off the bed, and walked leisurely to the window. She gave Wang Xianfei a meaningful look: "Your offer is very tempting, I personally want to agree, but... I don’t know if these people will agree."

As she spoke, she pushed open the window with a crash.

Wang Xianfei looked closely and saw Dong Chenfei, Yang Defei, Chen Shufei, and Feng Zhaoyi hiding outside the window!

The four of them, caught off guard by Shangguan Yun’s sudden move, were petrified!

And Wang Xianfei was also stunned.

Ten eyes met.

A massive, epic, social death scene.

"You... you, how are you here?"

It took Wang Xianfei a long time to find her voice.

Shangguan Yun was pleased to watch the drama, crossing her arms and leisurely watching Dong Chenfei and the others.

Dong Chenfei cleared her throat and questioned: "We should be asking you! Didn’t you say we would report this shameless person to His Majesty together tomorrow morning? Turns out you were just stalling for time to make a deal yourself!"

Shangguan Yun glanced at her: "Hey, watch your words."

Who’s shameless?

Are you all more shameless than I?

One by one eagerly selling out teammates, is this your so-called alliance? It’s indeed laughable.

"Aren’t you?" Wang Xianfei retorted coldly.

"We..." Dong Chenfei was so choked her face turned red, and she looked at Feng Zhaoyi, "She came first!"

Feng Zhaoyi trembled: "I was the third! When I came, Sister Defei and Sister Shufei were already hiding outside the window!"

"Defei came first!" Chen Shufei decisively sold out Yang Defei.

When she was negotiating with Shangguan Yun, she heard someone coming from the palace, so she climbed out the window to hide, only to see Yang Defei standing right in front of her.

Heaven knows what she felt at that moment!

Then, Feng Zhaoyi came.

When Feng Zhaoyi climbed in, she also experienced a wave of shock.

Then it was Dong Chenfei and Wang Xianfei.

Wang Xianfei was beyond frustrated, seeing stars from anger.

Clearly, it was her scheme, but how did she turn out to be the slowest one?

There are no stupid women in the Imperial Harem, any who were have long perished. Who can still survive until now?

Being outmaneuvered by Shangguan Yun was because they never expected her to act unpredictably.

Plus, Shangguan Yun knew them well, but having been in the Imperial Mausoleum for over a decade, her personality had changed drastically. She was no longer the princess they knew.

"To know your enemy is to know yourself," this saying is not without reason.

"Let’s not infight!" Wang Xianfei calmed down, stabilizing the situation, "Everyone wants to be Empress, but it looks like none of us can, so let’s seek revenge! Of course, if you’re willing to be toyed with by Shangguan Yun, then pretend I said nothing!"

Dong Chenfei mocked: "You wouldn’t be trying to chase us away to play some tricks yourself, would you?"

Talking like you didn’t play tricks yourself?

One by one, eager to outdo me, and still daring to mock me?

Suppressing her anger, Wang Xianfei refrained from quarreling with Dong Chenfei at this critical moment. She said sternly: "Let’s go into the palace together and bring His Majesty here! We won’t say we’ve seen her before, her testimony alone won’t be convincing! Find a way to show His Majesty her injuries!"

The four fell silent.

At this point, they clearly understood that dealing with Shangguan Yun was not feasible.

They, the five grand consorts, had been played by a junior. It was truly intolerable.

"Fine, I agree!" Chen Shufei was the first to state.

"I agree too!" Feng Zhaoyi and Yang Defei quickly followed.

Dong Chenfei impatiently frowned: "You all agree, so what can I do? Fine, let’s go back to the palace!"

Shangguan Yun said leisurely: "Are you sure you’re leaving just like that?"

Wang Xianfei warned: "Shangguan Yun, don’t even think about attacking us here. Our people are not to be trifled with! If things get out of hand into His Majesty’s presence, we could just say we were worried about you and secretly came to check on you. You won’t gain any advantage!

Shangguan Yun took a stack of papers from her wide sleeve and patted them in her palm, saying: "It seems, you don’t care about this either."

The few instinctively turned their heads to look at the papers in her hands.

Shangguan Yun, fearing they couldn’t see clearly, purposely took one out to show them.

Their pupils contracted!

Shocked, Dong Chenfei exclaimed: "This is..."

"Yes, these are the promissory notes I wrote to all of you, black and white. You help me topple Consort Han, and I help you ascend to the throne. Signed and sealed by me and all of you."

Feng Zhaoyi hurriedly took out her own promissory note she carried.

"Don’t look, the ones you have are fake, the ones I have are real. If you don’t believe me, compare our fingerprints on them."

Feng Zhaoyi looked at the fingerprint she had pressed down. She used her right thumb, which had a whorl pattern, commonly known as a spiral. But the fingerprint on the paper was an arch.

Indeed, different.

The process was like this—

Xiao Hen first secretly got a sample of the ladies’ handwriting from the Book Pavilion in the National Master Hall, then had Shangguan Yun write five promissory notes in advance, and had the old libationer imitate the ladies’ handwriting to sign and print their fingerprints on the notes.

Normally, people don’t compare fingerprints afterwards.

After all, it was signed and sealed in person. Who would expect Shangguan Yun to switch them right under their noses?

If it were just placing a few minor characters, Xiaojiu could handle it, no need for Shangguan Yun to meet these consorts at night.

Empress Dowager Zhuang never limited her gaze to just the women of the Imperial Harem, she was the Regency Empress Dowager who ruled over the Court!

From the beginning, she was not just plotting against Consort Han. Even Consort Han was a side matter; her real targets were these big fish from noble families!

Wang Xianfei sneered: "Shangguan Yun, even if you have this evidence, so what? Proving we’re colluding with you? You’re involved equally."

Shangguan Yun smiled faintly: "But I’m not afraid to die. Are you?"

Dong Chenfei, enraged: "You!"

Shangguan Yun’s smile faded, her gaze slowly growing icy.

She approached them step by step like a vengeful ghost.

"The Xuanyuan Family is gone; my mother is dead, my son gravely ill, unlikely to survive the year. What else do I have to lose! But you are different. You all have powerful maternal families behind you, healthy and long-lived children. I ask you, do you dare to go down with me! The barefooted fear not the shod! And right now, I am the barefooted one!"
