Chapter 777: Chapter 777 Doused in Cold Water Chapter 777: Chapter 777 Doused in Cold Water Soon, Eunuch An brought over a small bucket of cold water.

“Your Majesty, the water is here,” he announced.

The Emperor, visibly displeased, glanced at the drunken She Na. “Give her a wake-up call.”

“Yes!”

After agreeing, Eunuch An walked up to She Na and poured the entire bucket of water over her.

“Ah!”

Catching her off guard, the bucket of cold water descended from above. The drunken She Na couldn’t help but scream. She wiped her face a few times with her hands, which sobered her up considerably. Instinctively looking around, she remembered she was inside the Imperial Palace, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and hurriedly covered her chest with her hands.

Among the many guests celebrating the birthday, there were quite a few Princes and sons of wealthy families, as well as Ministers from the court.

No matter how one saw it, they were all men.

She Na, an unmarried young lady, was now exposed in front of everyone and couldn’t help but feel extremely embarrassed. She covered her chest with her hands, trembling and staring at Eunuch An in shock and fear. She asked, “What did your servant lady do wrong? Why did Eunuch pour cold water over me?”

Now, She Na finally regained some sense. It seemed that the bucket of water had indeed made her much more alert.

She Na’s clothes were soaked, revealing her body contours clearly.

Among the many young men of the Royal Family, some, who were accustomed to visiting the land of fireworks, stared at She Na’s body with wide-open eyes as if they could see through the hands covering her chest.

The Empress Dowager hummed coldly, her tone full of sarcasm. “Miss She didn’t demand to ‘let her father chop us all’, it seems she has indeed sobered up quite a bit.”

Upon hearing this, She Na was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thud, bowing her head earnestly, “Your servant lady was drunk just now, speaking nonsense, I beg the Empress Dowager for forgiveness.”

“Inside the Imperial Palace, you dare to be so brazen. It seems your father taught you well!” The Empress Dowager’s tone was full of mockery.

“The Empress Dowager sees clearly, this matter has nothing to do with my father. It is all because I was momentarily angered and acted mistakenly,” She Na, completely drenched, frightened, and cold, lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to get up.

She knew in her heart that if her actions in the Imperial Palace caused trouble for her father, affecting his career, her father would definitely not let her go.

“Oh! You were the one who got drunk, and yet you still justify yourself?” The Empress Dowager’s voice was gentle, showing no sign of anger.

However, everyone present felt a chill down their spine.

“The Empress Dowager sees clearly, your servant lady knows her fault. Everything I did today was because of General’s Mansion’s Situtu Xueer. She humiliated me, and I, in a fit of anger, drank a few more glasses and lost my senses.”

She Na decided to go down fighting and implicated Situtu Xueer as well.

If she was going to be unlucky, Situtu Xueer wouldn’t get off easy either.

“How did another Situtu Xueer come into this? Who is she?” The Empress Dowager, confused, looked towards the Emperor, somewhat baffled.

The Emperor: “Empress Mother, Situtu Xueer is the Great General’s Eldest Legitimate Daughter. It’s said that she was separated for over a decade and just returned to General Situ’s Family a few days ago. I intended to take advantage of your birthday celebration to invite her to liven up the Imperial Palace, but I didn’t expect this to happen.”

Now, the Empress Dowager suddenly understood, recalling that she had also heard quite a bit about the issues of General Situ’s Family recently. She was also filled with curiosity.

“Who is Situtu Xueer? Come up here and let me have a look.”

Xuexue stood up from her seat, walked over to the Empress Dowager with a calm expression, knelt down, and greeted her, “Your servant lady Situtu Xueer wishes the Empress Dowager immortality and everlasting youth.”

After speaking, she presented a box from her bosom, “This is a gift from your servant lady to the Empress Dowager. I hope you will accept it with a smile.”
