"Princess, you... this slave is talking nonsense." After saying that, the palace maid was about to leave. Princess Luoan grabbed her shoulders tightly and shouted sternly, "Stop." She looked directly at the palace maid with sharp eyes.
"Tell this princess everything you know, otherwise, even if I don't kill you, someone will kill you!"
The maid held up her skirt and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I will tell you everything I know." The maid lowered her head, with a cold light in her eyes, and said, "I only ask that the princess can see that I risk my life."
For the sake of stating the truth, I will spare my life."
"As long as you speak out, I will spare your life." Princess Luoan said coldly.
The little palace maid stood up, glanced at Princess Luoan timidly, and said, "The emperor held a banquet that day, and the servants were waiting in the Guse Hall. Before the banquet was over, Aunt Qingruo came out with the princess's cloak.
, looking a little worried. Seeing that she looked a little anxious, the servant asked her aunt if she was looking for you, and her aunt said
Yes, the slave told her aunt about the whereabouts of the princess. After her aunt left, the slave thought about it and felt a little uneasy, so she followed the direction of her aunt. Unexpectedly, she heard Bai Di ordering two men next to Concubine Xian...
..." The palace maid stopped and raised her eyes to secretly look at Princess Luo'an's face, which was as cold as ice.
"Go on."
"It is said that Concubine Xian resented the princess for hurting her brother, and she also resented Aunt Qingruo for complaining to the Queen Mother, so she wanted to teach Aunt Qingruo a lesson, tarnish Aunt Qingruo's innocence, and discredit her, but she didn't want to
Those two men were too harsh, and they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they killed and silenced them."
"Pa." The tea cup in Princess Luo'an's hand was crushed to pieces, the porcelain pieces were inserted into her hand, and blood flowed down between her fingers. Princess Luo'an didn't feel any pain at all, and she asked after a moment, "
May I have your name?"
"My name is Manzi."
"Very good." Princess Luoan slowly took out a handkerchief from her arms, lightly bandaged her hand, and said, "I will not tell anyone about this matter, so don't worry."
"Thank you, Princess." Manzi kowtowed a few times to Princess Luo'an gratefully, then stood up and said, "If the Princess has nothing to do, I will leave first." She turned around and saw a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Princess Luoan's whole mind was attracted by the palace maid's words. She didn't even know when the palace maid left.
Yu Qingtinglan searched inside and outside the hall, but could not find Princess Luo'an. In desperation, she went to find Xinyue, the confidant of Song Changning.
"Sister Xinyue." Ting Lan stood behind the pillar and shouted softly. Xinyue turned around and saw the two little maids with anxious faces, quietly exited and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Our princess is missing." Yu Qing almost cried, and as soon as she turned around, Princess Luoan disappeared. They both searched up and down, but there was no sign of Princess Luoan.
,
Xinyue frowned slightly and said, "Have you searched carefully?"
"We have searched everything, but there is no princess."
"You go and search quietly, and I will report to the princess that the Queen is holding a banquet today and must not disturb the Queen!" Xinyue calmly ordered. She was a palace maid trained by the Queen Mother and had been with Song Changning since she was a child.
It is her most basic ability to stay calm and protect herself in times of danger.
The two of them seemed to have a reassurance, so they left in a hurry and went to look for Princess Luo'an. The person they were looking for was currently in the Wei Rui Palace.
"Princess Luo'an is not at the banquet, so why are you here here?" Concubine Xian was leaning on the soft couch, her hands half-heartedly placed on her belly, with a lazy look, and her eyes were not warm at all.
Incense was burning in the incense burner inside the house, and the maids on the side were adding coal.
Princess Luoan gently touched the whip on her waist and asked in a cold voice, "Why?!"
Concubine Xian smiled softly, waved away the palace attendants on both sides, and asked doubtfully, "What is the princess talking about? Why can't I understand? Why?" Under her gentle and humble face, there is a heart comparable to a poisonous snake.
Heart.
"Did Aunt Ruo get killed?!"
"Didn't you kill her?" Concubine Xian said in surprise, "Didn't she fall into the hands of the bad guys just to find you and be insulted and tortured to death? Princess Luo'an should not be accused of this kind of crime indiscriminately.
on the head."
"It's you!"
"It was you who found those two beasts and tortured Aunt Ruo to death!" Princess Luoan pulled out the whip from her waist and said sternly, "She has no enmity against you, why do you do this?!"
"Why?!" Concubine Xian sneered, "You have no grudges against my brother and the princess, but you not only hurt him for a slave, but also caused him to be exiled to the Idealism Tower!"
"Then he brought it upon himself! What does this have to do with Aunt Ruo? If you hate that the princess is responsible for it alone, you should never attack Aunt Ruo!"
"Haha." Concubine Xian seemed to have heard a big joke, "Is she innocent? If she hadn't gone to the Queen Mother to cry and use the Qingyang County Lord to talk things over, how could my brother have been exiled? Not only would she deserve to die!
Even Qingyun, you and everyone in your Xuezhai deserve to die!"
Concubine Xian's face became a little ferocious. Princess Luoan could not suppress the anger in her heart. She swung the whip in her hand at Concubine Xian. The low table that fell on her side was knocked over to the ground. Concubine Xian smiled calmly and disdainfully,
"That's all you have?"
Princess Luoan strode forward, put a dagger on Concubine Xian's neck, and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not anger me."
"Do you dare to touch me? I am a concubine, and you are just a little princess. If you dare to hurt me, the Queen Mother will not be able to protect you."
"Then try." The dagger in Princess Luoan's hand became a little heavier. Now there seemed to be a fire in her body, and a voice kept telling her in her ears, "Do it, kill it."
Her! Then you can avenge your Aunt Ruo!" Concubine Xian looked at her provocatively, and Princess Luoan desperately suppressed this thought in her heart. Now is not the chance to take action, not yet!
"Ah!" Princess Luoan grabbed Concubine Xian's shoulders and threw her to the ground. When the whip was about to fall, a bright yellow figure strode in and roared, "Stop!"
Emperor Xuanrui's sharp eyes glanced roughly at the situation in the main hall. When he saw Concubine Xian lying on the ground, he hurriedly bent down and asked with concern, "Concubine Xian, how are you?"
"Your Majesty, my concubine's stomach hurts." Bright red blood flowed out from Concubine Xian's body, staining her plain dress. When Song Changning and Song Yulian arrived, they saw such a scene. Emperor Xuan Rui held Xian in his arms.
Concubine, Royal Doctor Xuan roared angrily, and Princess Luoan held a long whip and a dagger at her feet, looking at Concubine Xian with anger on her face.
Concubine Xian's child was not saved. Emperor Xuanrui was furious. He looked at Princess Luoan who was standing upright in the main hall and shouted angrily, "Princess Luoan, do you know you are wrong?!"
"Ruosu doesn't know!" Princess Luo'an said coldly, "Ruosu only knows that life is for life. This is an eternal truth in the world."
"Presumptuous!" No one has ever spoken against Emperor Xuan Rui like this. It is absolutely forbidden to challenge the majesty of the royal family. Song Changning and Song Yulian on the side were almost dying of anxiety. Song Changning kept winking at Princess Luo'an. At this time
It was not the time for a head-to-head confrontation with Emperor Xuan Rui, but Princess Luoan seemed not to notice and knelt on the ground with an unyielding look on her face.
"You are so audacious that you hurt the imperial concubine and harm the emperor's heirs. Even if the Queen Mother protects you, I will take off your head!"
"Father!" Song Yulian lifted her robe and knelt down and said, "Princess Luo'an has a straightforward temperament and is impulsive and reckless. She didn't do it intentionally. I hope my father will show mercy."
"Father, Sister Su'er knows she was wrong."
"Both of you are not allowed to plead for her! Today I will punish her severely. She is too arrogant and willful!" Emperor Xuan Rui said angrily.
"Princess Luo'an is the only surviving daughter of County Lord Qingyang, and she can also be regarded as the daughter of the Third Emperor's Uncle. I ask my father to please be accommodating for the Third Emperor's Uncle's dedication to the country."
Wang Fulu, who was on the side, caught Song Changning's look and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Emperor Xuanrui's ear, "Your Majesty, this Princess Luo'an is the Queen Mother's favorite, and she is regarded as the second Princess of Qingyang County.
Doting on you."
Emperor Xuan Rui's face slightly faded and he asked sternly, "Princess Luo'an, I ask you again, do you know your mistake?!"
"Sister Su'er..." Song Changning shouted in a low voice and winked at her desperately. Emperor Xuanrui finally softened and gave her a step to let Princess Luo An go down. Unexpectedly, Luo An
The princess bowed deeply to Emperor Xuan Rui and said, "Your Majesty, Ruosu still said the same thing, I don't know what's wrong with it!"
"Pull it down! Drag it down!"
"Aijia, let's see who dares?!" Empress Dowager Dening was supported by Tang Fengchu and walked in. Her eyes fell on Princess Luo'an who was kneeling on the ground, and she said coldly, "What have you done to make the emperor so angry?
"
"Empress Mother, why are you here?" Emperor Xuan Rui hurriedly went up to help Empress Dowager Dening sit on the throne and said, "If you have anything to do, just send someone to inform her."
Queen Mother Dening snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid the Ai family won't come. I don't know how much this girl will suffer."
"Mother, you dote on this girl too much." Emperor Xuan Rui said angrily, "She was so audacious that she not only beat the imperial concubine with a whip, but also caused the concubine to have a miscarriage. She didn't even know how to repent. She is so arrogant and cruel. If you
If she is not disciplined, she will become lawless."
Queen Mother Dening frowned slightly after hearing this. She didn't know that Princess Luoan caused Concubine Xian to have a miscarriage. Why didn't the person who came to report it tell her that even if she was the Queen Mother, she would not be able to save her from the murder of the emperor's heir.
"Then...then you can't let those dog slaves attack Su'er." Empress Dowager Dening started the rogue mode and said in a pretentious manner. That is the lifeblood of Xun Yatou and the lifeblood of the Ai family!
