Chapter 149 No one is seen
If the emperor hadn't insisted on letting her stay in the palace for one night, she wouldn't have been caught by the queen mother unprepared.
Therefore, it is natural for the emperor to deal with the queen mother.
Although the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother and his son was relatively harmonious, Xiao Li felt that at least the emperor would not side with the queen mother in this matter.
The Queen Mother forced him to accept Chen Pingting, and even forcefully asked for a concubine, and then asked him to favor Chen Pingting until she became pregnant.
He is an emperor, but because that is his biological mother, he can only give in time and time again, but that does not mean that he is really a puppet without a temper.
The medicine was given by Chen Pingting, but now the Queen Mother is instigating Chen Pingting to take heavy responsibility for Xuanyang. Naturally, the emperor will not let it go.
It's not that he cares about Xiao Li, but that he has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother and Chen Pingting.
Of course, he may not necessarily be able to make any decision for Xiao Li. At most, he can express his attitude and persuade the Queen Mother to calm down.
Xiao Li could guess the result even with his eyes closed. Xiao Li was not in the mood to stay and watch the follow-up. After being awakened by the doctor, he saw Hong Yue coming back and immediately took her out of the palace.
Hongyue burst into tears: "Princess, all slaves are useless and cannot protect the princess."
Xiao Li gave Hong Yue an order. Once something happens, Hong Yue's first task is to save her own life. While saving her life, don't let others catch her. Because she has low martial arts skills and is a confidant that Xiao Li cares about. If Being caught and used to threaten Xiao Li would cause trouble for her.
Xiao Li didn't want any stupid thing to happen where the slave would die for his master, or the master would be captured just to save the slave.
Therefore, when she saw Xiao Li being surrounded by the Queen Mother's people, Hong Yue tried her best to reduce her presence and ran out to hide while no one was paying attention.
Hongyue believed that her princess must have a way to escape, and she could not stay and be a burden to her. When she escaped, she wanted to go to the emperor for help, but before she could run far, the princess was chased and escaped.
She didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so ruthless and let so many people deal with the princess. She wouldn't stop injuring the princess and even chased her all the way out.
Xiao Li's body was spattered with blood, but there was no external injury. But when he took off his clothes, under his ribs, there were bruises that were so red that they started to turn purple. If they were any heavier, the bones would be broken.
Xiao Li said nothing, and Hongyue only cried twice before holding back.
The princess doesn't like those who cry. If she cries too much, the princess will hate her.
Rong Qing was waiting at the palace gate with his carriage. The news in the palace had not yet been heard, but looking at Xiao Li's pale face and Hongyue's red eyes, he knew that something was going on.
"Princess?"
Xiao Li waved his hand gently: "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Xiao Li went back slowly, and while he was washing, someone came from the palace.
First, the queen sent someone to deliver the reward, mainly to care about Xiao Li's health.
Xiao Li was not in the mood to be polite to them now, so he sent them back directly on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Just as I was lying on the bed, the emperor's people came.
"Princess, Your Majesty has sent someone."
Xiao Li didn't even open his eyes: "No."
Lan Yue hesitated for a moment: "Princess, this is the father-in-law of Zhangyinlou."
Eunuch Lou is different from other eunuchs.
Xiao Li had no emotions: "This princess is unwell and will not see anyone."
Lan Yue understood, turned around and went out to reply.
"Sir, the princess said she didn't see anyone." Lou Xiang frowned slightly. It was not surprising that the princess was injured but could not see anyone. However, the image of the princess walking in front of him with blood on her face but treating him as if she was nothing has been lingering in his mind. .
From that moment to now, his heart has sunk to the bottom inch by inch. Now that she still hasn't seen him, he is inexplicably flustered.
"Miss Lan Yue, please tell the princess that your majesty has persuaded the queen mother. The queen mother will not embarrass the princess with this matter again. The princess does not need to enter the palace until she recovers."
He handed over a list: "These are the treasures and medicinal materials given by His Majesty, please give them to the girl."
——
After Xiao Li returned home, the affairs in the palace came out from the informants of various aristocratic families.
From last night to today, two things happened, each with its own splendor.
The princess saved the Wang family's daughter and almost killed Xuanpinghou's son. Not only was she not punished, but she also asked the queen to come forward to defend her. In the end, the Wang family and Xuanpinghou jointly paid compensation of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
It is said that Marquis Xuanping was beaten in front of the emperor and the royal family.
Everyone: "."
Still the familiar sense of absurdity.
The dignified Wang family has suffered at the hands of the princess time and time again. It is really useless.
Previously there were the Lu family and Prince Chen and his wife, then Prince Yanping, Princess Jiaruo, and then the prince of the Wang family. Now the list of victims includes Marquis Xuanping and his son.
Whenever Princess Xuanyang makes a move, it is always a high-end game.
However, before he could understand this, he heard that the Queen Mother was going to beat Princess Xuanyang to death. Princess Xuanyang escaped covered in blood, and His Majesty was frightened.
I also heard that Princess Xuanyang went crazy with a sword and chopped off a eunuch's hand.
The truth is not yet clear, but it seems that no matter which one it is, it is breathtaking.
Princess Xuanyang didn't show up for half a month, but as soon as she showed up, she did two big things in succession.
In comparison, the fact that the Wang family's daughter was almost molested by her fiancé, and finally broke off the engagement and became a female official in the palace, seemed to be no big deal.
Only Mrs. Wang cried so hard that her heart broke.
"Wanqing is so confused! How can she be a female official? Doesn't she want me as a mother?"
The female official, with the official name, sounds nice, but she is actually the queen's subordinate, one level above the palace maids, and is responsible for assisting the queen in handling palace affairs.
The nun in charge of the palace is an older female official.
These female officials came from innocent backgrounds and had certain powers in the palace, but because they had to assist the queen, they could not leave the palace at a young age to marry and raise children.
Usually, they were married by the queen after they were thirty years old. They got married and had children in a hurry and then returned to the palace to continue working as servants. Most people spent their whole lives in the palace until they were too old to move, and then they were given the gift of returning home to raise them.
The queen is the daughter of the Wang family, and her daughter is also the daughter of the Wang family. Why should her daughter be a slave to the queen?
"Isn't she just dissatisfied with He Chengfeng? We just don't want to get married."
Mrs. Wang excitedly held Wang Zhihan's hand: "His father, let's go get Wanqing back. I'll choose a new marriage for her, and I'll make sure she's satisfied, okay?"
Wang Zhihan had a stern look on his face: "Don't act recklessly. His Majesty has made a golden mouth. That is the imperial edict. There is no room to turn around now."
Mrs. Wang was in disbelief: "Then we will just watch Wanqing buried in the palace for the rest of her life?"
Wang Zhihan: "What I said is that there is no room for turning now, does not mean that there will be no room for change in the future. You calm down first. After this limelight is over, I will go to the palace to ask the queen to propose marriage to Wanqing. That will be the same. .”
Mrs. Wang reluctantly believed it, but she still felt uneasy: "No, I want to enter the palace, I want to see her!"
