The Tempestuous Consort - Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 555
Chapter 555: The Beiqi Emperor Looking For Trouble
Gu Yun smirked sinisterly. Once the emperor took action, Feng Tianlan’s reputation would definitely be ruined whether he succeeded or failed. She simply wanted Si Mobai to see Feng Tianlan as a fickle lover who went around seducing men when he was not around.
She wanted to ruin Feng Tianlan. She just wanted to instigate her relationship with Si Mobai!
However, when Gu Yun saw the Beiqi Emperor kissing her portrait vigorously once again, she couldn’t control her churning stomach anymore. She turned around, walked out of the room, and dry-heaved.
This perverted old man had outlived his usefulness. What kind of eyes did he possess? He didn’t even realize that the drawing wasn’t even Feng Tianlan, yet he said he liked her. He purely just lusted after her body. Disgusting!
After she settled everything, she would definitely get rid of this perverted old man!

Batches of court ladies and eunuchs were carrying different kinds of items like red satin, exquisite jewelry, and more. They were tying up red silks to the palanquin. The imperial eunuch was carrying an imperial edict with the royal signature sewn on it. Right behind him were the mighty imperial guards and a sedan that had the word “Joy” engraved on it, making it look like a palanquin.
All this commotion appeared to be a ceremony to welcome a queen returning to the palace. The commoners who passed by started following the procession and discussed among themselves.
“What’s going on? Isn’t the queen in the palace? Why is the royal sedan leaving the palace?”
“The royal sedan had the word ‘Joy’ on it. It looks like it did when the emperor married the queen. This doesn’t look like a procession to welcome the returning queen but more like a marriage.”
“The queen is still alive and didn’t make any mistakes. The Eldest Princess is about to get married as well. Why would they do such a thing right now? This is not ethical. I want to see who’s the shameless woman.”
“I have a nephew who is serving the emperor. I heard that this woman was no other than the famous Feng Tianlan. Rumor has it that she left the palace for this. She wanted to enter the palace by becoming the imperial consort.”
“I am in charge of sending meals to the palace gates. When the princess returned, I saw Feng Tianlan at the palace gates. She was extremely jealous and started beating up the imperial noble consort in public. The imperial noble consort was nearly beaten to death. Until today, she still can’t get out of bed.”
“What a vicious b*tch! I want to see what kind of woman can be so arrogant and shameless.”
“…”
Hearing the crowd getting more and more wound up, the few who instigated this uproar looked at each other. They kept quiet and disappeared into the crowd. When it was necessary, they would emerge once more to say something to influence the crowd’s mood.
The whole inn had been occupied by Feng Tianlan; therefore, they stopped taking in more customers. The innkeeper was dozing off. When he heard a knock on the door, he stood up and opened the door. His feet were trembling when he saw such a grand formation in front of his inn. He nearly dropped to his knees. “Eunuch…”
“Is Miss Feng staying here?” The imperial eunuch raised his head and took a peek inside. He had no intention of going in. Princess Gu said that it would be better if there were more people around when the imperial edict was read. If he were to go inside, there wouldn’t be a huge crowd anymore.
The innkeeper replied in a trembling voice. “She’s here. She is in the backyard.”
“Invite her out, tell her that people from the palace are here.”
The innkeeper complied and ran towards the backyard. When he met Azurite along the way, he told her immediately, “Miss Azurite, people from the palace are here. They want you and Miss Feng to see them as soon as possible, or something serious is going to happen.”
Feng Tianlan overheard this conversation just as she came in from the backyard. She frowned and the first thought she had was that Gu Nansheng might be in trouble. So she quickly went outside to meet them.
