Mrs. Pan was quickly taken to the Qifeng Palace. She was dressed in a black cloak. She only showed her whole face when she walked into the courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she knelt down with a plop: "Your Highness the Ninth Princess!"
It was hot in the summer, so the windows of the Princess Palace were always open, and mosquito-repelling spices were lit inside the palace. Yun Zishu looked at Mrs. Pan through the window, with a casual expression: "Mrs. Pan came here so late to see me, what's the matter?"
"Please Ninth Princess save Xu Zhi." Mrs. Pan kowtowed, "Please Ninth Princess save Xu Zhi!"
"Save Pan Xuzhi?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "Why did Mrs. Pan say this?"
"Please Ninth Princess save Xu Zhi!"
Yun Zishu looked at her, "Who asked you to come?"
There were so many people in the civil and military dynasties that could beg for help, including the prince, Princess Jinning, General Xiao, and even several other princes... Mrs. Pan just came to beg her?
Mrs. Pan knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and kept repeating the same sentence: "Please Ninth Princess save Xu Zhi! Please Ninth Princess save Xu Zhi!"
Yun Zishu looked at her expressionlessly. After a moment, she took the tea cup at hand, narrowed her eyes and took a sip.
Leng Yue and Leng Shuang's eyes also fell on Mrs. Pan, their eyes were calm and sharp, as if they were always on guard against any drastic behavior she would do.
"Previously Concubine Wu wanted to marry me to Pan Xuzhi. Mrs. Pan seemed to be quite resistant to this. Do you think I am not worthy of your precious son?" Yun Zishu said casually, with a hint of coldness in her voice.
Liang smiled, "Concubine Wu also asked Mrs. Pan to bring a message to An Huaishan, asking him to do evil things to me?"
Mrs. Pan's face turned pale and she kowtowed repeatedly: "I know my crime, I deserve to die! Princess, have mercy! Please have mercy, princess!"
"I heard that Pan Xuzhi is still slandering me in front of others, saying that I am no longer pure and pure, saying that I am in ruins... Tsk, after all, the Xiping Marquis Mansion is a noble family, how did you teach your son to be so helpless?
Oral ethics, something that cannot be put on the table?"
"I know my mistake!"
"Mrs. Pan." Yun Zishu kindly reminded her, "You should call yourself a civilian woman now."
Mrs. Pan begged: "Ninth Princess holds her noble hand high——"
"You ask me to be so noble?" Yun Zishu seemed puzzled, "The cause of the matter should be Pan Xuzhi killing An Shangshu. My father also followed the law when dealing with the Pan family. What does this have to do with me?"
Mrs. Pan suddenly raised her head, her eyes stern: "This is all the Ninth Princess's plan. Doesn't the Princess admit it?!"
Yun Zishu had a smile on her lips: "Does Mrs. Pan know what the crime of slandering the princess is?"
"I know I made a mistake, it's my fault! Please be noble and let Xuzhi go!" Mrs. Pan cried and begged, "A common woman should not belittle the princess, and Xuzhi should not slander the princess in front of others. We deserve death -
—”
"Since your crime deserves death, why did you come here to beg for mercy?" Yun Zishu's voice suddenly turned cold, "Mrs. Pan thinks she deserves to die, so why does it matter if I grant you permission?"
Mrs. Pan froze and looked at Yun Zishu in shock.
"Don't look at me like that." Yun Zishu frowned slightly, "Be careful if I get upset and have your eyes pulled out."
"You finally admit it! Yun Zishu, you finally admit that all this is your fault!" Mrs. Pan suddenly became emotional and her eyes turned cold, "It's all your fault, right? You are a vicious woman.
,Why do you want to harm us? Why?"
"Why? Didn't Madam Pan herself make it very clear just now?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows coldly, "You also know that slandering the princess is a capital crime. If a Madam Hou does not teach her son well, she not only dares to instigate others to assassinate me.
, and even if your son talks nonsense, aren't you seeking death on your own? Why, do you really think that if Concubine Wu gives your family a marriage, I will fall in love with your Xipinghou Mansion? This is not how you put money on your face. "
Mrs. Pan stared at Yun Zishu, her eyes filled with fear and resentment.
The corner of Yun Zishu's lips raised slightly, "The Marquis of Xiping and An Shangshu are in-laws. An Shangshu is favored by the emperor and is a close confidant of the prince. Do you really think that you are nothing?"
Mrs. Pan was filled with hatred and regret: "Xuzhi just said it casually. He didn't really offend the princess at all, and the civilian woman didn't mean it either-"
"Mrs. Pan doesn't have to defend herself. Everyone has to pay for what they have done." Yun Zishu interrupted her, "It is true that Pan Xuzhi killed someone. My father was merciful and only sentenced him to twenty years in prison.
I only demoted the Marquis of Xiping to common people, but haven't even sent you to the frontiers as slaves. Mrs. Pan should be satisfied."
"Xu Zhi was seriously injured and locked up in a dark and humid prison. He couldn't survive even two months. How could he survive for twenty years?!" Mrs. Pan was angry and anxious, questioning every sentence, "We are just like this
Son, if something happens to him, how can we survive?!"
"Mrs. Pan knows that she only has a son, so why don't she teach her well?" Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "Isn't this your own fault?"
Mrs. Pan's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
"Mrs. Pan can go." Yun Zishu put down the tea cup and closed the window, "I have a particularly bad temper recently. If anyone offends me, don't expect me to be lenient."
Mrs. Pan spoke sharply: "Yun Zishu, you must die a good death! If Xuzhi has a problem, he will not let you go even if he is a ghost. You-"
"You dare to curse the princess, how audacious." Leng Yue's expression turned cold instantly, "Someone! Take her down, slap her mouth until it becomes swollen, and then drive her out!"
As soon as the stewardess raised her hand, two stout maids came forward and dragged Mrs. Pan away.
"Don't hit with your hands, use a paddle," the steward said, "be careful of hurting your hands."
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Pan's painful screams were heard.
Yun Zishu closed the window and frowned slightly: "I'm annoyed."
"My subordinates, please keep them away." Leng Yue walked out and winked at Leng Shuang.
Although Leng Shuang didn't like to talk, her instinct of observing people's emotions was still good. She walked out with Leng Yue without saying a word, taking away all the maids serving in the palace and closing the door.
"It's not annoying." Si Cang walked to her side and stretched out his hand to smooth her eyebrows. "Anyone who makes His Highness unhappy will be made ten times more unhappy. There is no need to keep it in your heart to make yourself unhappy."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly and looked at him for a long time, then suddenly raised her lips and smiled: "Okay."
