Zi Dai was also a little worried, but she couldn't care about anything else at the moment. Since she had already done it, there was no room for regret.
Qing Luan looked uneasy. Last night, Zi Dai came to look for her and said that she had a way to deal with Situ Manyao. She happened to be bullied by Situ Manyao and was immediately interested when she heard this. Therefore, she hurriedly asked her for a way to deal with Situ Manyao.
" Situ Mantian, that slut. His Highness dotes on her, but she thinks too highly of herself and even hurt His Highness. If we spread this news, do you think the Empress Dowager will be so anxious and annoyed with Situ Mantian if she learns of this? She will give a light punishment or a warning, or even…" She understood what he meant without needing to say anymore. She couldn't help but be eager to try and help Zi Dai spread the news.
At that time, Situ Mantian had been so angry that she had lost her cool and did not think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, it did not seem appropriate. If the matter was discovered by His Highness, she would not be able to eat a good fruit.
"Sister, why are you thinking so much? Situ Manyao is only a princess who has lost her favor in the residence. Sister has been by his highness 'side for so long, and you still think that you can't compare to a princess who is not favored?”
Although Zi Dai was also worried, she still forced herself to look up at the sky.
"It's getting late. Let's go to Greencloud Pavilion to pay our respects to the princess.”
Situ Manyao saw the two of them coming from afar, and a wave of annoyance rose from the bottom of her heart.
Were these two women so free that they needed to revolve around men every day? They came to make things difficult for him all day long just for Chu Yixuan!
Thinking of Chu Yixuan, she felt a wave of hatred in her heart. She shouldn't have hesitated at all last night and forcefully pushed herself away from his chest!
"Wangfei has been sleeping really well recently. She sleeps until late in the morning every day. However, as the mistress of the wangfu, it doesn't seem good to keep doing this, right?”
Zi Dai glanced at Situ Mantiao, who was washing up, and said mockingly.
"Little sister Zi Dai is only wangye's concubine, when did she have the qualifications to criticize me?”
Situ Mantian was neither angry nor annoyed. She only glanced at Lian Xin after she had combed her hair.
The Blue Luan stood at the side and did not speak. She had suffered a loss here yesterday, and now that she thought about it, she still felt a little scared.
Zi Dai was furious that she was using her status to suppress herself. If she didn't have a Prime Minister father, how could she become a princess consort?
"Younger Sister came today to ask about one thing. Yesterday, His Highness returned from the Greencloud Pavilion with injuries. Does Elder Sister know the reason behind this?”
She simply changed the topic with confidence.
Lian Xin, who was packing up, heard Zidai's words and dropped the furniture she was wiping on the coffee table with a bang. She looked worried.
When she entered the house last night, she saw that Miss's hands were covered in blood. She was extremely frightened and thought that she was injured. She hurriedly checked her body and realized that it was not her blood.
So this was what happened.
"Sister is really calm!"
Zi Dai shifted her gaze to Lian Xin and slowly walked toward her.
"Lianxin, tell me, do you know something?”
Lian Xin's expression changed. She did not dare to look at Zi Dai and knelt on the ground.
"Madam Zi Dai, Lian Xin doesn't know anything. Moreover, my young miss wouldn't do anything to harm his highness. Zi Dai, don't misunderstand.”
Zi Dai snorted coldly, blowing her head slightly as she looked at the back of her head.
"I just came over to ask. I didn't say that it was your Miss who did it. Why are you so nervous?”
Zidai had a sharp face to begin with. Coupled with her words, Lian Xin did not have the courage to retort. She could only kneel on the ground and shake her head.
When Situ Mantian saw this, a trace of anger appeared on her calm face. She sneered and walked to Lian Xin's side.
She bent down and gently helped Lian Xin up, patting her hand to tell her not to worry.
"Lianxin, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything delicious.”
Lian Xin knew that Situ Manyao wanted to send her away, but she was worried that Madam Zi Dai and Madam Qingluan would harm her, so she hesitated.
Situ Manyao naturally knew what she was thinking. She nodded at her without batting an eyelid, and her eyes turned sharp.
Lian Xin was worried that she would only drag her down if she stayed here. She had no choice but to leave.
The Blue Luan looked at all of this and snorted in disdain. The affection between master and servant was very deep.
With that thought in mind, he turned to look at Lian Xin's departing figure. No one knew what his dark eyes were thinking.
"Could it be that the two Furen came to look for me today for this matter?”
Situ Mantiao looked at the Blue Luan and slowly walked up to her. The smile on his face did not penetrate his eyes.
"Sister Blue Luan is quite free. Recently, she has been running to the Greencloud Pavilion. Could it be that she has special feelings for the Greencloud Pavilion, or that she wants to replace my position and live in it?”
"Wangfei, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way.”
The Blue Luan's expression changed drastically. Situ Manyao's accusation was too ingenious. If the Emperor heard about him coveting the position of the Princess Consort, he might not even be able to keep his name!
"Humph, little sister Qingluan knows her limits.”
Situ Mantian glanced at Lian Xin, who was standing outside the door. She was carrying some light dishes in her hands. She was probably afraid that she would be hungry, so she did not dare to delay and brought them over. Seeing that the two madams had not left, she did not dare to disturb them…
She let out an indiscernible sigh. In this Imperial Residence, being careful would also bring disaster. The only way to protect herself was to make herself stronger!
"Two Furens, go back. This princess does not have that much time to chat with you here.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the inner room, clearly indicating that he wanted to chase the guest away.
Zi Dai and Qing Luan did not expect that the two of them would not get anything good from her. They were unwilling, but they were afraid of her identity, so they left unwillingly.
Let's see how long she can be smug!
"Lian Xin, come in."
"Miss, are you alright?"
Lian Xin put down the tray in her hand, worried that they would attack. The young miss had been weak since she was young, and if she wanted to attack, she was probably not their match.
"What can happen to me, silly girl?”
Situ Mantian looked at Lian Xin's tender face and felt bitter. She looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. If this was her era, people at this age would be the treasure of their parents. Why would they need to struggle to survive in such a place where people's hearts were unpredictable?
"Lian Xin, if you encounter any danger in the future, you just have to protect yourself. Don't worry about me, understand?”
Her expression was serious, and she did not seem to be joking at all. Lian Xin felt inexplicably flustered.
"Miss, why are you suddenly saying this? Did you encounter some trouble?”
She was only eight years old when she came to the Prime Minister's Estate. It had been six years since then. Although the Young Miss did not treat her very well, she would not bully her for no reason. This made her feel a little gratified when she saw other servant girls being bullied by her master.
"Silly girl, trouble is inevitable.”
Situ Manyao patted her hand and looked away, as if she was trying to avoid something.
She knew that it would not be easy to survive in such a place. She was not sure if she could protect her. After all, she was also in a difficult situation now. She could only hope that she could protect herself and live well.
After all, she was still so young.
Situ Mantian lowered her eyes and laughed at herself. When did she become so sentimental?
"Empress Dowager, did you specially call your son over today to arrange something?"”
Chu Yixuan pretended not to know anything and bowed to the Empress Dowager.
"Yixuan, BenGong heard that you were stabbed. Is this true or false? Don't hide it from Mother.”
The Empress Dowager was old, but she had taken good care of herself and was in good spirits. She sat gracefully on the couch with two palace maids standing beside her.
Chu Yixuan had heard about it from Eunuch Heng before he left the palace, so he wasn't surprised. He was just curious who spread the news and even made it to the ears of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
"Mother, where did you hear about this stab wound? It was just an injury that your son accidentally suffered while practicing the sword. I didn't expect it to be spread as a stab wound.”
Chu Yixuan didn't want to drag Situ Mantian into this for the time being. He would teach her a good lesson and make her feel better than death.
Chu Yixuan still did not know that the future was unpredictable. The pain he had inflicted on Situ Mantian would be paid back bit by bit in the future, or even worse.
The Empress Dowager obviously didn't believe him. She glanced at the palace maid beside her and asked suspiciously,""Yixuan is telling the truth."
"Mother, why should your son lie to mother over such a small matter?”
Chu Yixuan knew that since the Empress Dowager had asked this, it meant that she had almost believed him, so he heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's true."
The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction and began to chat with him about some family matters.
"Yixuan, is Manyao still used to living in the residence? She has been in poor health since she was young. You have to pay attention to this. Don't put your heart into the court and neglect her.”
The Empress Dowager naturally knew of Ji Yuqing's existence. However, Situ Mantian was now his princess consort. No matter how much he cared about other girls, he could not let his newlywed wife suffer. After all, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister.
"Mother is right, your son will remember it.”
Chu Yixuan didn't want the Empress Dowager to continue, so he asked,""Why isn't Imperial Brother here?"
"He, ah, he just accompanied mother to talk for a while, and then said that he had something important to do and left. Forget it, let him be. As the emperor, he can be considered to have worked hard. Mother is old and can't care so much!”
Chu Yixuan lived outside the palace and did not visit the Empress Dowager many times. After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, he turned around and returned to the Prince's mansion.
Along the way, he was still guessing who had leaked the news. In a flash, he remembered Zidai who had suddenly appeared in his room last night!
He pursed his lips. Could it be her? Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 34PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
