Panda: I forgot to let Xiao Jingning appear in the previous chapter. This chapter is a little rushed. Most of the words are borrowed. Please forgive me. From tomorrow onwards, Panda will adjust his state and write well for everyone.
Imperial Consort Yue's heart turned cold, and a chill of despair rolled down her back. However, after forcefully closing her eyes, she quickly regained her composure. The first thing she said to Sima Lei was: "Leave the palace from the back immediately. Remember, you didn't even take half a step into Zhaoren Palace today!”
Sima Lei was stunned for a moment. He looked left and right in a daze. Only then did he come to his senses and ran back like a wisp of smoke.
" Jing Yan," Imperial Consort Yue quickly walked down the steps and said quickly," Listen to me, the Crown Prince did not shoot you today, and you did not put a knife to the Crown Prince's neck, understand?"”
King Jing's eyes flashed, but he didn't reply.
"Threatening the Crown Prince with a knife is the same as shooting a prince with an arrow. Bengong doesn't want you to die together. As for the other matters, we'll rely on our own abilities and let His Majesty decide.”Noble Consort Yue smiled coldly." You are a smart person. You know that this is a transaction that is beneficial to you. Why not?”
King Jing's expression did not change, but the knife in his hand slowly left the Crown Prince's neck and was gently thrown to the ground.
The Empress Dowager's aged figure appeared outside the Moon Gate of the inner court. Beside her, there was the lovely and lively Princess Xiao Jingning, the daughter of the Empress Yan, who had a bewitched expression on her face. There was also a woman with a phoenix crown and a yellow robe. She looked noble and dignified.
That was the owner of Zhengyang Palace, the current empress.
"What did you let this widow come here to see?”The Empress Dowager looked around the courtyard in a daze." Why are there so many people standing here?”
Imperial Consort Yue hurriedly motioned for the Crown Prince to dismiss the guards in the courtyard, and she quickly stepped forward and bowed down.""ChenQie greets Grand Empress Dowager, Niangniang. I didn't know that the two niangniang had arrived and didn't welcome you. Please forgive me.。。”
Empress Yan didn't wait for her to finish her words and immediately asked coldly,""Is that Ni Huang sitting over there? What happened to her?"
Imperial Concubine Yue glanced around and saw King Jing walking to Ni Huang's side and gently helping her up. The princess's face was red and her eyes were tightly shut. She could not say that she was fine, so she could only say,"Today, I invited the princess to a banquet. I didn't expect that the alcohol was so strong that Ni Huang got drunk.。。”
"Princess Ni Huang is a heroic woman and her alcohol tolerance is not weak. How could she get drunk so easily?”
" ChenQie also finds it strange." Noble Consort Yue still had a smile on her face." Perhaps she has been a little worried about the matter of choosing a son-in-law in recent days.”
"Then what are the guards here for? Could it be that someone dared to behave atrociously in Zhaoren Palace? Say it and aijia will make the decision for you."
"Oh, this guard…" Noble Consort Yue chuckled and said," It was the Crown Prince who wanted to demonstrate the saber array for me. He said that it was a form of dance technique after the training was done.”
Empress Yan looked into her eyes and suddenly sneered." What kind of joke is Noble Consort saying? You let Princess Ni Huang, a distinguished guest, pass out drunk on the stairs and ignore her, but instead, you're here with your son to watch the saber array.。It's okay to bring these words back to aijia, but do you want to report it to His Majesty like this?”
"How to report to Your Majesty is ChenQie's own business, how would I dare to trouble the Empress to worry for ChenQie.”Imperial Concubine Yue replied softly. Seeing how calm his mother was, the Crown Prince, who was originally pale, slowly walked over and greeted the Empress Dowager.
The Grand Empress Dowager had been listening to the verbal battle with the Imperial Consort with great interest. When she saw the Crown Prince come over to salute, she immediately patted his head lovingly." Xuan 'er, who are those two children over there? It's too far away to see clearly..."
"Uh…" The Crown Prince said awkwardly," That's Jing Yan.。。And Princess Ni Huang…"
"Why don't these two children come over to Great-Grandma's side?”
" Don't worry, Empress Dowager." Empress Yan's tone was gentle, but her words were cold." Ni Huang is just drunk. She will wake up sooner or later. When she wakes up, I will definitely persuade her not to drink such strong wine in the future."
Imperial Consort Yue's chest stiffened, but she gritted her teeth and endured it without changing her expression. This was indeed the hardest part of the whole thing to deal with. King Jing was guilty of threatening the Crown Prince with a knife, and both sides had basically reached an agreement not to pursue the matter of the interception and killing. Sima Lei had also left, and they had not caught any evidence of the crime. No matter how much she said in front of the Emperor, it was just a one-sided story, and she could think of a way to explain it. Only the viscountess 'mouth could not be shut no matter what. The only hope now was to hope that the princess would be ashamed and proud, unwilling to make the matter of almost being humiliated public, so as not to ruin her own reputation.
Princess Jing Ning, who had been married to the Empress, also ran in at this time. She ran to Princess Ni Huang's side and looked at her red face worriedly. She said in a low voice,"What should we do? Since you're so drunk, help me to my palace to rest first.”
King Jing also felt that it was more convenient for his sister to take care of the princess. He nodded and ordered someone to carry a sedan chair. He first obtained the permission of Empress Yan according to etiquette and escorted Ni Huang away with Xiao Jingning.
Knowing that it would be more effective for Princess Nihuang to make a fuss about this matter than herself, she did not say anything more. She accompanied the Empress Dowager into the main hall of Zhaoren Palace to chat and laugh, forcing Noble Consort Yue to accompany her. She did not have the time to go to the Emperor first, nor did she have the opportunity to collude with the Crown Prince. Both mother and son forced a smile, feeling very comfortable watching.
Because Imperial Consort Yue had used too much of her love, even the imperial physician that Xiao JingYan had found was unable to detoxify the poison. " Why don't we send Sister Nihuang to Huitian Medical Center?" Xiao Jingning suddenly said." I remember that he can cure any illness that the imperial physician can't."”
He was definitely referring to the owner of Huitian Medical Hall, the Buddha's Hand Ghost Doctor, Xiao Chu.
Xiao Jingyan couldn't help but frown at the thought of this person. "A few days ago at the banquet, I had an impression of Xiao Chu.。。In addition to his reputation in Jinling.。。This person's actions depended on his mood. Who knew if his mood was good or bad today?”
"It won't happen." Xiao Jingning shook his head and said,"Sister Nihuang has a good relationship with Xiao Chu. Even if Xiao Chu doesn't save the others, he will save Sister Nihuang."”
"How did you know?"
Xiao Jingning stuck out his tongue cutely. She would not tell Xiao Jingyan about how she pestered Ni Huang to take her out last year, but she got an emergency on the way and was sent to Huitian Medical Hall by Ni Huang.
"Seventh brother, let's go quickly. I can see that sister Ni Huang's face is getting redder and redder.”
