Chapter 93 Why Did You Hurt Me?
Mu Xue pointed at Yan Li angrily and tremblingly. She couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally ran away crying.
Nanny Zhao and Luo looked at Yan Li as if they were looking at a monster. They obviously couldn't have imagined that Yan Li had been so unscrupulous that he would even beat the legitimate princess under the queen's knee.
She wanted to go to heaven, she was going to go to heaven!
Nanny Zhao quickly chased Mu Xue away.
Yan Li lay on the chair, raised her hands to cover her eyelids, thinking to herself that if no one offended her, I would not offend anyone.
People who have troubled her again and again, do they really think they have no ability to fight back?
"Princess." Nanny An frowned, "The Seventh Princess will definitely complain."
Yan Li raised her lips: "I'm afraid she won't complain."
Nanny An heard this and knew that she had a plan to deal with it, so she nodded and felt relieved.
Mu Xue did go back to the palace to complain, but the way she complained was a bit special, crying and shouting, without any manners.
After the empress learned from Madam Zhao that it was Yan Li who beat Mu Xue, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and she immediately ordered someone to invite the emperor over.
Emperor Zhaocheng hurried to Fengyi Palace and saw Mu Xue crying on the bed: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty." The empress's eyes were red, "Xue'er is my concubine's only daughter, and also the emperor's legitimate daughter. The emperor watched her being bullied like this?"
The emperor frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Madam Zhao replied respectfully, "Princess Nanyang slapped the legitimate princess."
Yan Li?
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned slightly, walked to the main seat and sat down without saying a word.
"I have turned a blind eye to the emperor's past favors on her. I have apologized for the prince's breaking of the engagement, but how did Mu Xue offend her?" The queen complained with red eyes, "If the emperor continues to protect her, I will not agree!"
Emperor Zhaocheng's face darkened: "Didn't I order the princesses to stay in the palace? Why did Mu Xue leave the palace again?"
The queen choked: "Mu Xue went to visit Jingyue."
"Madam Zhao." Emperor Zhaocheng turned his head and looked at Madam Zhao who followed Mu Xue out of the palace, "You tell me."
Madam Zhao knelt and saluted: "The legitimate princess went to the Jiang family. Princess Nanyang was rude to the legitimate princess first and did not salute when she saw the princess. The legitimate princess did not tell her at first. Instead of arguing, she went to visit the old lady of the Jiang family and had tea with her. After that, she sent an old servant to call Princess Nanyang to pay her respects to the old lady. Princess Nanyang was unwilling to go, but basked in the sun in her own yard. Seeing that she was so disrespectful to the old lady Jiang, the legitimate princess was a little unhappy. "
Emperor Zhaocheng glanced at Mu Xue: "Is it really the case?"
"I dare not deceive my father." Mu Xue sat up, wiping tears aggrievedly, her voice choked, "I know that my father favors Yan Li, so I give in to her everywhere. Today, because I sneaked out of the palace against my father's will, I thought I would not cause trouble if I could, but I didn't expect to be slapped by Yan Li. "
Emperor Zhaocheng sneered, giving in to her everywhere?
He really didn't believe it.
"Ye Qi."
Ye Qi walked in and bowed: "I am here."
"You go to the Jiang family in person and ask Princess Nanyang to come to the palace."
"Yes."
Mu Xue stood up and walked over: "If your father doesn't believe it, why not call Madam Jiang to ask."
"No need to be so troublesome." Emperor Zhaocheng sat aside, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, "I will listen to what Yan Li has to say first."
The queen sat silently aside, although her expression was still a little ugly, she no longer entangled in this topic.
Anyway, Mu Xue was beaten, no matter what, Yan Li was wrong today, she wanted to see if the emperor could continue to protect Yan Li regardless of right or wrong.
"Mu Xue." The Queen took the initiative to speak, "Since you went to visit the old lady, did you take a look at Jingyue?"
"I did." Mu Xue gently applied a wet towel to her beaten cheek, "Sister Jingyue is very serious about learning the rules, and Nanny Yan and Nanny Li also taught her strictly. I believe that Sister Jiang must be the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess, and she is a natural match for my brother."
Emperor Zhaocheng did not comment on this.
The Queen nodded slowly: "Well, that's good."
Although she was not very satisfied with Jiang Jingyue, Jiang Jingyue was indeed the most suitable candidate now. Thinking that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion would eventually marry Mu Wenxuan, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Gu Guifei relied on the emperor's favor and thought that her niece was a treasure. She also wanted her to marry the Ninth Prince. It's ridiculous. She couldn't even guess the emperor's mind, and dared to covet the throne?
But this point should be thanked to Yan Li.
Let those high-minded noble ladies outside deal with Yan Li. It was indeed a correct decision. Although they couldn't do anything to Yan Li, the mortal enemy paid the price.
Thinking of this, the queen suddenly felt a little regretful. Yan Li's existence was not useless. She should let Mu Xue and Yan Li get along well. Even if they couldn't get along like real sisters, at least they could get along on the surface.
In this way, Yan Li's ignorant temper, relying on the emperor's favor, can offend people unscrupulously outside. Instead, she is their most advantageous chess piece. Why should they make things difficult for her?
When she loses her usefulness, it's okay to get rid of her.
"Your Majesty, Princess Nanyang is here."
Emperor Zhaocheng was surprised: "She came so quickly?"
Ye Qi explained: "When I left the palace, I happened to see Princess Nanyang waiting outside the palace gate. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while."
Mu Xue snorted coldly: "She knows that she has made a mistake, so she is anxious to apologize."
Wasn't she very brave when she was in the Jiang family? She is showing such sincerity now, maybe she is worried about losing her position as a princess.
"Well, let her in."
"Yes."
After a while, Yan Li stepped over the threshold and leaned towards the emperor: "Your Majesty."
"Yan Li." Emperor Zhaocheng looked at the thin and weak girl in front of him, "Mu Xue said you beat her, I want to ask what happened."
Yan Li lowered her eyes and said calmly: "The legitimate princess said that the emperor favored me because my mother shamelessly seduced and bewitched the emperor, and said that I was the emperor's illegitimate daughter, and that marrying the ninth prince was a mess-"
"I didn't!" Mu Xue's face changed drastically, and she stood up, "I didn't say that, you are slandering me!"
Emperor Zhaocheng clenched the teacup, his expression gradually condensed into ice, and his eyes were full of anger.
Yan Li looked at her calmly: "The legitimate princess keeps saying that she is the only legitimate daughter of the emperor and the queen, but dare not admit it?"
"Yan Li." The queen clenched her hands, "Mu Xue can't say such a thing, you-"
"What's wrong with me saying it and admitting it?" Mu Xue seemed to have suddenly lost her mind, and sneered at Yan Li, "You are an orphan of the Jiang family, with no power or influence, why does the emperor favor you? It's because your mother is shameless! An unmarried girl is pregnant and was driven out by the Jiang family. If I were you, I would be ashamed to live-"
"Shut up!" Emperor Zhaocheng shouted angrily, his tone piercingly cold, "Mu Xue, you are so brave!"
