"You..."
Looking at the people walking towards her, the Empress gritted her teeth in hatred. Even though she had some power, she was suppressed by a few guards and could not move at all. So, she could only use her stern and dignified eyes to look down on the eunuchs and palace maids who were walking towards her.
The group of eunuchs and palace maids were startled, but when they remembered that the Empress was only a prisoner, they gathered their courage and walked towards her.
Slap!
One of the palace maids slapped the Empress across the face. Instantly, five deep red marks appeared on the Empress's fair face. The Empress gasped in pain.
Seeing this, the crowd became excited and rushed forward, punching and slapping the Empress. They had never seen the high and mighty Empress in such a pitiful state. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Pain!
The Empress felt pain all over her body, as if her bones were about to fall apart. She licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her sharp gaze fell on the leisurely Imperial Concubine Lin.
"Empress, how is it? This doesn't feel good, does it? You, who have always been in a high position, have you ever been so humble? By the way, I don't know how Pang Ran is doing now. He's probably locked up in prison, his life or death unknown. Of course, if you want to see him, I can fulfill your wish. What do you say? "
The Empress, who had been filled with anger, felt her heart sink when she heard Imperial Concubine Lin's words, "You can really let me see Ran'er?"
"I have always been a man of my word," Imperial Concubine Lin raised her proud chin and sneered at the woman who was prostrating on the ground. Once upon a time, she had dreamed of trampling her under her feet and tearing apart that arrogant face of hers, "As long as you kneel before me, not only will I let you see your son, I might even let him live for a few more months if I'm happy."
The Empress clenched her fists and took a deep breath.
She knew that Imperial Concubine Lin's words could not be trusted, but if she wanted to see Ran'er, she was her only hope!
For this only hope, for Ran'er, so what if she was humiliated? She was fearless!
"Imperial Concubine Lin, I hope that you will remember your words. As long as I kneel before you, you will let me see Ran'er."
She gently closed her eyes and the eyelashes on her pale face trembled. After a while, the Empress opened her eyes and slowly knelt down in front of all the eunuchs and palace maids.
Humiliation! Endless humiliation enveloped her heart, but what could she do? In order to see Ran 'er, not to mention kneeling down, even if she was asked to die, she would not hesitate!
Even if it was just a glimmer of hope …
This was the heart of a mother. No matter what kind of situation she was in, she would always think of her son.
Now, she was no longer a high and mighty Empress, but a mother who held her son's heart …
"Imperial Concubine Lin, I've fulfilled your wish. Now, can you let me see Ran 'er?"
The Empress's voice trembled. Her long fingertips dug deep into her palms, and fresh blood oozed out.
Suddenly, Imperial Concubine Lin burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that tears almost rolled down her cheeks.
"Haha, Empress, to think that this day would finally come for you! All these years, I've always been the one kneeling before you, I've always been the one paying my respects to you. You've relied on His Imperial Majesty's favor to do whatever you want! But to think that this day would finally come for you, to stoop so low and kneel in front of me! Did you really think that I would let you see that good-for-nothing Pang Ran? Let me tell you, I want your family of three to be separated! And even if you die, your ashes will be scattered in the East, West, and North, so that you will never be able to see each other again! "
