The housekeeper glanced at the maid, a little embarrassed. "Princess, this Yunxiang is..."
There is something special about this maid, she is someone whom the prince trusts, and she was the one whom Murong Ling entrusted to the prince to take care of her.
Speaking of taking care of him, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was Murong Ling eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Even after entering the palace, he had people dominating the prince and always keeping an eye on the movements of the palace.
"Princess, what do you mean by this? Do you want to use the rules of the palace to suppress me? Does the princess know who I am?" Relying on Xiao Junze's love for Murong Ling, Yunxiang was extremely arrogant.
Chaoyang looked at the other party quietly. This maid was much more arrogant than the other maids from the beginning. She obviously had some background. "I'm all ears."
She wanted to know who she was.
Chaoyang is so smart, she has actually guessed it a long time ago.
Chaoyang had guessed that she was Murong Ling's person as early as when Yunxiang threw the rotten food to her and said that the impostor still wanted to occupy the magpie's nest.
Today I just push her hard.
"My cousin is Murong Ling." Yunxiang said thoughtfully, looking at Chaoyang proudly.
To Xiao Junze, Murong Ling is the gold medal for avoiding death.
She has been domineering in the prince's palace these years, and she just relies on the prince's love.
Chaoyang's palms were slightly sweaty. He really belonged to Murong Ling. No wonder...
With a faint smile, Chaoyang looked sideways at the housekeeper. "Does the rule of our palace include any special care for the family members of the empress in the palace?"
The housekeeper wiped his sweat and shook his head. "Not really."
"That's good. According to the rules of the palace, what is the crime for speaking rudely to the princess?" Chaoyang said softly, although it would not kill the maid, but it was to establish dignity.
"According to the rules of the palace... Anyone who speaks rudely will be slapped thirty times, beaten with twenty sticks, fined three months' salary, and sent to the laundry room." The housekeeper said softly.
Yunxiang looked at Chaoyang in panic. How dare she attack her? "Butler! I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince!"
Chaoyang glanced sideways, looked back and said thoughtfully. "In this case, the housekeeper will take action instead of executing the execution."
If she wants to gain a firm foothold in the backyard of the palace, she must be versatile and ruthless.
If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to gain a foothold.
When she loses her power, everyone can step on her, trample her in the mud, and trample her violently.
If she gains power, she should return it and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
"Your Majesty, I want to see the Prince, Your Majesty..." Yunxiang cried and wanted to see the Prince, but now that the treasure is in the hands of the Princess, who dares to disobey?
After several slaps, the maids and servants Xiao Junze rewarded Chaoyang shivered with fear.
This beautiful face has been slapped thirty times, how can it still be seen?
Sitting quietly under the pear tree in the morning sun, the petals are falling, and the people are picturesque.
Looking from a distance, it seems that the beauty under the tree is admiring some beautiful scenery, not watching a punishment.
Yunxiang's cries went from sharp to silent, and then to being dragged away. Chaoyang watched the whole process without any fluctuation in his eyes.
I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. It was these people who provoked her in the first place.
If she wants to survive, this is the only way.
"You all go down, I'm tired." Chaoyang's voice was hoarse, and he motioned for the maids and servants around him to step back.
The entire backyard became quiet, and Chaoyang could only hear the sound of petals falling to the ground.
"Your Majesty, aren't you tired after watching the show for so long?" Chaoyang said softly. From the moment she executed Yunxiang and Xiao Junze chose to avoid taking action, Chaoyang knew that she had made the right move for the time being.
Xiao Junze may consider her an ally.
"Hmph, the person who executed me has given you face?" Xiao Junze wanted to have a good talk with Chaoyang, but the inexplicable words that came to his lips were reproaches.
Chaoyang smiled, stood up and saluted. "Your Majesty did not take any action, which is the greatest gift to Chaoyang."
Only in this way can her position in the palace be stable.
Xiao Chengen's side is really in chaos.
"The Queen Mother wants to see you, follow me into the palace." Xiao Junze said coldly, turned around and left without mentioning Yunxiang's matter.
Chaoyang's heart tightened instantly, the Queen Mother... is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Even if she temporarily passed Xiao Junze's test, she would still have to shed another layer of skin when she got to the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, when you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you should have seen the clues. Shen Qingzhou is definitely not arrogant out of thin air. He doesn't bother to participate in the fight for the heir, let alone which prince's camp he is on. Helping Prince Yu is just a matter of course.
Because I am just guarding against you." Chaoyang bravely spoke and took a step forward. "Such a hidden danger will not be eliminated in a short time...even after you ascend the throne, the prince."
"My lord, if you can bear it, bear with it. As long as Shen Qingzhou puts aside your worries about retaliating against the Shen family, maybe it can help you stabilize the government..." Chaoyang spoke again.
Xiao Junze stopped for a moment and looked back at Chaoyang with murderous intent. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Chaoyang quickly knelt down and lowered his head in panic. "Chaoyang is talking too much. Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Huh, don't be so smart. Who do you think you are? Do you know me well?" Xiao Junze was angry, very angry.
Chaoyang knew she had hit a knife edge, but she... was just doing it so that after she left, Xiao Junze could learn to be smart and wise in protecting himself.
In the face of power and power, why not swallow the grudges that are inevitable?
…
Prince Yu's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Prince Li and Princess Li returned home yesterday and went to the Prime Minister's place... I heard that the Prime Minister stayed with them for dinner. It is said that they had a great conversation. The Prime Minister and the Prince hit it off immediately and praised the Prince as... a rare prince.
Talent."
"Shen Qingzhou! Xiao Junze!" Xiao Chengen crushed the cup in his hand with force. He knew that an aloof person like Shen Qingzhou would not really help him.
What bad idea did he have to lure the beast with blood-rust incense? Not only did he hurt himself, but he also made the emperor point the finger at him.
It seems that Shen Qingzhou has been with Xiao Junze from the beginning. The substitute girl is clearly a peerless beauty given to Xiao Junze!
Old guy! This is deliberately confusing his hearing and hearing, and secretly plotting against Chen Cang! The person he wants to get rid of using this lip spring hunt is not Xiao Junze at all, but Xiao Chengen!
"Very good, very good!" Xiao Chengen's anger could not be suppressed.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? The boy who raised the lion was tortured by His Majesty and has already been tortured..." Each of his men knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Even if he does it, he can't find me for the time being. Find a scapegoat. Do you know what to do?" Xiao Chengen is not a fool. He has to wait, at least until the Queen Mother or Her Majesty ascends to heaven first.
Otherwise, leaving any one behind is a hidden danger.
He wants to make sure nothing goes wrong.
"yes!"
…
Fengtian Imperial Palace.
His Majesty is recovering from a long illness, and the entire palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights to drive away evil spirits and pray for the emperor's long life.
Chaoyang followed Xiao Junze into the palace. Halfway there, the eunuch summoned Xiao Junze away.
Chaoyang felt a little unsure, but the Empress Dowager called for her and she had to go.
"The Queen Mother, Princess Li is here." In the inner palace, the Queen Mother is leaning on the beauty's couch, looking graceful and luxurious, her eyelids slowly opening. "Princess Li? The Ai family is suddenly tired, let her kneel and wait outside the palace."
The old eunuch understood that the Queen Mother was going to give Princess Li a test.
"Wait a minute." Seeing that the eunuch was about to leave, the Queen Mother spoke again. "I heard that there are many methods in the palace that were introduced from the Western Regions. They leave no trace but can make people miserable? Since they are methods from the Western Regions, let's entertain the princess well.
