Li Yanyan looked at Qin Yining's back and gnashed her teeth in hatred.
She really wanted to have Qin Yining dragged out and beaten to death!
However, the big hat of 'Li family's treason' made her unable to breathe. She didn't dare to touch Qin Yining at all. Otherwise, she would become a sinner who disregarded the fate of the country.
"So, you're going against this consort right now, which means that your Family Qin is going against my Li family?" Li Yanyan chased after a few steps and looked up at Qin Yining on the stairs. She wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Qin Yining didn't stop and didn't look back as he said, "Isn't it Niangniang who came to find trouble with this subject's daughter today?" He had already reached the second floor and closed the grille door of the stairwell.
Li Yanyan's face immediately turned red. It was unknown whether it was from anger or embarrassment.
Nanny Li was furious. As she rushed upstairs, she cursed, "There's actually such a shameless wanton woman in this world! She didn't forget to seduce the Emperor when she was cultivating. She actually became arrogant because of his favor and was so disrespectful to the Empress! If such a sorcerer is left in this world, wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere of the boudoir?! "
Ji Yun listened until the veins on her forehead popped out. She blocked the stairs and pushed Nanny Li, who was rushing over, back two steps.
"This Nanny, please clean your mouth. With which eye did you see my Zhenren become someone else's concubine? My Zhenren comes from a prestigious family and is a proper daughter of a noble family. Furthermore, she came here to cultivate under the imperial edict. This Nanny is slandering my Zhenren like this. Are you questioning Tian Jizi's judgment or questioning the Emperor's judgment? "
"Master really has a glib tongue. Even a dog's bark is different from other dogs!" Nanny Li spat at Ji Yun's face.
However, Ji Yun had martial arts on her, so how could she be spat by an old woman? She immediately dodged and said angrily, "My Zhenren just set up an altar to summon auspicious signs for the Dayan country and for the imperial family's world. I didn't expect the Empress to put away the bow after the birds are done and come here to bully people! Is this the Empress's idea or the Emperor's idea? "
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to question ben gong? "Li Yanyan raised her hand to slap her. She couldn't punish her master, but could it be that she couldn't punish her servant girl?
Ji Yun could have easily dodged it, but in a flash, she turned her body sideways and received the slap. She avoided the two pure gold armors that the Empress was wearing, so her face was not scratched.
Only the sound of a slap could be heard echoing in the spacious hall.
The door upstairs was pushed open and Qin Yining rushed downstairs in a panic. She pulled Ji Yun behind her and met Li Yanyan's gaze. "Your Majesty the Empress, you're here today to find fault with me and confiscate my property!"
Li Yanyan met her intimidating gaze and actually didn't dare to look straight at her. She only held on because of her dignity as the empress and her jealousy. She straightened her neck and said, "As the mother of the nation, this empress naturally has to set a standard for all the women in the world. Your flirtatious behavior is a disgrace to all the women in the world!"
"Is that so?" Qin Yining said in a deep voice, "Since this subject girl is so unbearable in Your Majesty the Empress's heart, then this subject girl doesn't deserve to continue staying here to cultivate. Someone, quickly enter the palace and report to His Majesty that I want to return to Qin Manor immediately and ask for His Majesty's permission. "
"Yes." One of the guards standing outside the hall quickly walked out. It was the one that Qin Yining helped her out just now.
Li Yanyan was a bit flustered.
She knew that His Majesty liked this woman. If His Majesty appeared, he would definitely favor Qin Yining.
However, things had already developed to this point. If she shrank back, wouldn't she be disgraced? She didn't do anything wrong!
Qin Yining pulled Ji Yun's hand and took her to the trees to apply medicine. He left the spacious and bright main hall to the Empress and her entourage.
When Qin Yining and Ji Yun had walked far away, Nanny Li said worriedly in Li Yanyan's ear, "Niangniang, if this matter is made public, His Majesty may be angry after knowing it. Why don't we go back first?"
"I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I leave first?" The tears in Li Yanyan's eyes finally fell down.
Nanny Li took a handkerchief and wiped Li Yanyan's tears with heartache. She continued in a low voice, "But niangniang, that little hussy is eloquent. I'm afraid that she will turn black into white and put all the blame on us. Niangniang, you and His Majesty just got married. Don't make His Majesty unhappy. Won't that affect the relationship between you and His Majesty? That little hussy will take advantage of you for no reason. "
Li Yanyan sniffled and cried out. She felt much better and calmer.
"I understand what Nanny means. Don't worry. If she dares to slander me later, I will teach her a lesson! "
Hearing that Li Yanyan still wanted to wait here for the imperial edict, Nanny Li hurriedly persuaded, "Niangniang, it's better to avoid her for now. She is here. Are you afraid that you won't have a chance to deal with her in the future?"
When Li Yanyan heard this, she hesitated.
In fact, she was now regretting why she came face to face with her today. As the Empress, she lowered herself to go against a court lady. Not only did it lower her status, but it was also easy for people to talk about her. What's more, if she wanted to kill Qin Yining, she could use other methods, such as drugging or assassination. Why did she have to let everyone know that she didn't like Qin Yining?
No wonder before she got married, her mother repeatedly told her not to be impulsive and to learn how to deal with things calmly. But she showed such a big flaw as soon as she came.
The more Li Yanyan thought, the more flustered she became. The anger she couldn't suppress just now disappeared. She slowly nodded and said, "It's a good idea to avoid her and then make a decision."
"That's right." Nanny Li said loudly, "Niangniang, you don't feel well. Why don't this servant serve you back to the palace?"
"En." Li Yanyan held Nanny Li's arm and led the palace servants out of the hall.
But at this time, she unexpectedly came face to face with an unexpected person.
"Emperor, Emperor?" Li Yanyan stood in the same place and looked at Yuchi Yan who came back in front of her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
It was Nanny Li who pulled her back. Li Yanyan hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "This concubine greets Emperor."
Yuchi Yan stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't ask Li Yanyan to get up, but asked, "Why are you here?"
When Li Yanyan heard this, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She had to put on a meek and humble appearance, "Replying to Emperor, this concubine heard that there was an important matter in the courtyard today. So, this concubine specially came to see how Qin meimei would deal with Wen Tian."
"En. Then what did you see clearly? "Yuchi Yan looked at her coldly.
"Emperor, this concubine is slow-witted. This concubine just came to visit Qin meimei."
"The visit you speak of is to stand in front of her door, question her ability, and question my judgment? In my opinion, Anguo Gong didn't teach his daughter well enough. "
Li Yanyan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave in an instant. She looked up at Yuchi Yan in disbelief.
It should be known that this kind of punishment was more humiliating than a direct slap.
Qin Yining and Ji Yun had been kneeling in front of the door for a long time at this time.
Yuchi Yan frowned and was about to reach out to help, but Qin Yining knelt down and retreated, "Emperor, please leave this concubine a way out!"
