Chen Shangxi had been standing outside for half the day, only to be met with this outcome in the end. He felt very displeased but dared not say anything, leaving sulkily!
Alas, among all the Empresses Dowager through the ages, it seems only the one he served was treated so miserably by her own daughter-in-law.
Ever since Empress Dowager Mo and Tuotuo used gu to control Nangong Yi, Cai Wei's sentiment towards her had turned utterly cold. She refrained from taking action against her only because she was Nangong Yi's birth mother, otherwise, she would have made sure Empress Dowager Mo had nowhere to be buried by now. At this moment, Empress Dowager Mo still wanted to put on airs like a mother-in-law in front of her, expecting to summon and dismiss Cai Wei with a wave of the hand as before—such a thing was completely impossible. To see Cai Wei, it would depend on whether she was in a good mood and whether she had the time!
