Chapter 509: Not Part of the Plan

"This is the empress dowager's birthday celebration. Nobody is allowed to fight here!" The emperor was quite gloomy, and he wondered who this piece of garbage was counting on for support.

Was it Prince Zi?

But hadn't Prince Zi kicked her out of the house already?

"I've never been to the royal palace before, and nobody ever told me such a rule. Everybody beats on me because I'm weak, so I thought it was a universal rule that you can beat up whomever you're dissatisfied with."

"That's not entirely wrong, but this is the royal palace!" The emperor raised his voice. "Are you here to cause trouble?"

"I dare not. I'm alone and useless. How would I dare cause trouble? I was only angry that someone cursed my child. I hope that you can forgive me for protecting my child."

Gu Bailu defended herself neither humbly nor arrogantly.
