The First Princess Consort widened her eyes in disbelief. Who was this gentle and careful man in front of her? Was this still the high and mighty Commandery Prince that she was familiar with?
She had served the Commandery Prince for 17 years and had never seen him treat anyone so gently and carefully. Even when she was young and favored, the Commandery Prince was like a god to her. She did not dare to look directly at him. Even though they had children and lived together for so many years, the First Princess Consort still did not dare to touch Commandery Prince Xiyue's reverse scale.
The Second Princess Consort was only surprised for a moment. She saw the foolish expressions on the First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort's faces and quietly took a few steps back.
Qin Yining stood up and avoided Zhou Meng's approach by bowing. She said, "Why did you come personally, Commandery Prince?" She paused for a moment before she continued, "Regional King, I am eternally grateful to you for saving my life that day. However, my body is much better now and I don't want to cause any trouble for you. It would be more convenient for me to stay with my clansmen. As for the thank you gift for saving my life, I will … "
"Why do you suddenly think this way?" Before Qin Yining could finish speaking, Commandery Prince Xiyue anxiously interrupted her. "Weren't you fine this afternoon? This King also said that he would allow your clansmen to enter the palace to accompany you every day. Weren't you very happy when you heard this? Why are you regretting it now? "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It is nothing. It is just that it is indeed inappropriate to live in the Commandery Prince's harem."
Zhou Meng looked at Qin Yining with a frown and then turned to look at the people beside him. He saw that one of the maidservants beside Qin Yining had a bandage on her head and her clothes were stained with blood. Imperial Physician Wang had also been called in. Zhou Meng's face was gloomy.
He looked around. Wherever he looked, everyone could not help but lower their heads. Especially the maidservant standing in the corner. She was trembling like a sieve and looked as if the sky was about to fall.
Zhou Meng said in a low voice, "Come here and tell me what happened." He stretched out his long arm and pointed at the maidservant beside the First Princess Consort.
The maidservant's heart skipped a beat. Her face was pale as she knelt on the ground and kowtowed. She said, "Commandery Prince, Commandery Prince, please calm down. I did not do it on purpose. I accidentally pushed the maidservant beside the Goddess. She lost her balance and hit her head. The Goddess got angry and quarreled with our Princess Consort. This servant was also anxious to protect my master. "
The maid broke out in a cold sweat. In a moment of desperation, she didn't care whether what she said was true or false or whether her logic was logical. Right now, she only wanted to try her best to clear her name. She didn't know if Da Wangfei would protect her.
Zhou Meng was even more confused when he heard her speak incoherently. When she spoke, her eyes drifted.
"You lowly lowly servant girl, how dare you speak in front of this prince? You have guts. "He dragged his last word and was extremely intimidating.
The maidservant was so scared that she curled up on the ground and kowtowed. Her tears fell uncontrollably along with her cold sweat. She sobbed, "I was, was following orders. I was following orders …"
"Shut up, you b * tch!" The First Princess Consort saw that this idiot wanted to expose her, so she rushed forward and kicked her hard.
This kick hit the maidservant's heart from the back. She cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
"Wang Ye, don't listen to her nonsense. She clearly pushed Miss Rong's maidservant on purpose. Perhaps they have a grudge."
Zhou Meng sneered when he heard this. He tapped his temple with his finger and said, "Look at This King. What do you think this is?"
The First Princess Consort did not understand and looked confused. "Wang Ye …"
"This King's head is not an empty shell! She is just a maidservant. Even if she has a grudge, how could she have the guts to take revenge in front of her master? If she didn't have orders, she wouldn't dare! It seems that both of you don't want to tell the truth! "He pointed at the Second Princess Consort and said," You tell me! "
The Second Princess Consort lamented in her heart. It would be fine if she could bring down the First Princess Consort. If she could not, wouldn't she anger this mad dog in the future if she told the truth now?
Seeing that the Second Princess Consort did not speak, Zhou Meng became angrier. When he was about to point at someone else, the Third Princess Consort interrupted and said, "Wang Ye, it's like this. Today, the First Princess Consort said that Wang Ye had taken a fancy to a girl and intended to make her the Fifth Princess Consort. We were curious, so we came together to talk to Fifth Sister. Who knew that Fifth Sister had such a bad temper? She was disrespectful to the First Princess Consort and said those hurtful words. The First Princess Consort's maidservant couldn't stand it and wanted to teach her a lesson on behalf of her master.
The maidservant wanted to teach her a lesson … "Zhou Meng slowly swallowed the rest of his words under his glare.
"Is that so?" Zhou Meng turned to ask Qin Yining.
Qin Yining sneered and said, "It seems that the Commandery Prince treats his wives and concubines well."
In other words, the people here actually had the guts to deceive the Commandery Prince again and again.
The First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort looked up at Qin Yining in disbelief.
What was vicious? This was vicious! He pushed them into the abyss with just one sentence!
Zhou Meng was so ashamed that his face turned red. He originally wanted to please the beauty. When the beauty was wronged, he would descend from the sky like a god to uphold justice for her. He wanted her to be grateful and admire him. Who knew that these b * tches would tear down his stage one by one! He had embarrassed himself all the way to his grandmother's house!
Zhou Meng's face turned purple and turned into the color of an eggplant. A storm of rage was brewing in his eyes.
In his fury, his voice was raised and he said, "What? You dare to lie in front of This King? Do you think that This King doesn't have a place to ask you what you said and did today? This King asked you because he was giving you face. But you just don't want face! Fine! This King will grant you your wish! "
Zhou Meng shouted angrily, "Guards!"
The guards outside the door answered and entered. They put down the long spears in their hands and knelt on one knee. "Commandery Prince."
"Tell This King what happened here just now!"
The guards looked at each other. They were outside the hall. How would they know what exactly happened?
The leader of the guards could only bite the bullet and say, "Commandery Prince, we were outside and vaguely heard an argument. As we were too far away, we couldn't say what exactly happened."
Zhou Meng was so angry that he almost fell backwards.
Qin Yining lowered his head. He mocked the Commandery Prince in his heart even more.
It seemed that this Commandery Prince was not only lustful, short-sighted and arrogant. He was also not very capable.
If this happened in the Prince's Mansion, Pang Zhixi would probably scare people witless with just one look and they would confess everything. They would not be like this, walking with a whip.
The more it was like this, the more Qin Yining missed Pang Xiao. Her mood, which was not affected by today's incident, gradually turned gloomy. She frowned impatiently.
When Zhou Meng saw Qin Yining frowning, he thought that she was dissatisfied with his performance today. He immediately felt embarrassed. The tall and mighty image that he had built up might collapse overnight.
In his fury, Zhou Meng only wanted to punish these fools who ruined his life!
The Second Princess Consort observed from the side. When she saw Zhou Meng's ferocious expression and how his face, neck, and ears were all red, she understood that if she did not stand up now, even she would be implicated by the First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort.
The Second Princess Consort immediately pinched her thigh and forced tears out of her eyes. She sobbed as she came forward and said, "Wang Ye, Wang Ye, don't be angry. I'll tell you. I was just afraid that Wang Ye would be angry with my sisters. That's why I didn't dare to say anything."
The First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort turned around and glared at the Second Princess Consort angrily.
"Say it." Zhou Meng said angrily.
The Second Princess Consort told him everything that happened just now. In the end, she knelt down and said, "I'm useless. I was timid and didn't dare to say anything inappropriate to make the First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort unhappy. But I really didn't want to see Wang Ye being deceived by others. Miss Zhao is gentle and not good at quarreling with others. She was bullied today and had no way to redress her grievances. That's why she said she wanted to leave the palace. "
In the end, she cleverly put Qin Yining on a pedestal.
The Second Princess Consort knew that the Commandery Prince was now determined to like the Goddess and would definitely take her into the palace. Why should she offend Wang Ye by saying that the Goddess was not good?
Thanks to those two fools, they bullied the Goddess. She had to do the opposite. She had to say good things about the Goddess so that the Goddess would remember her kindness and let Wang Ye know her position.
When Zhou Meng heard this, he was so angry that he kicked the First Princess Consort to the ground and said, "You bitch! Who gave you the guts! "
The First Princess Consort was in great pain from the kick. She was in so much pain that tears and snot flowed down her face. She did not forget to beg for mercy and said, "Wang Ye, please calm down. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just impulsive. Although I quarreled with Miss Zhao, I didn't want to hit her. It was that bitch who hit her. She acted on her own accord!"
Qin Yining became more and more impatient. She rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Commandery Prince, I don't care about this. Whether the First Princess Consort did it on purpose or not, it doesn't matter. I think the three Princess Consorts were impulsive because they misunderstood. To avoid arousing suspicion, I think it's better for me to stay with my clansmen. My body is getting better now. It's really inappropriate for me to stay here. "
Qin Yining was indeed tired. Under the light, her face was as white as snow. Her frown made her look even more delicate.
Zhou Meng was not willing to let her leave like this. He hurriedly said, "No, you should just treat this as your home. Didn't we agree on this earlier?"
"Commandery Prince, this place is really not suitable for me to recuperate."
Qin Yining wanted to leave, but Zhou Meng was determined not to agree. While the two were arguing, the First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort who were kneeling on the ground were gritting their teeth in hatred.
She was doing this to anger the Commandery Prince even more. In the end, the Commandery Prince's anger would be vented on them.
The Second Princess Consort looked at the trembling figures of the First Princess Consort and the Third Princess Consort and could not help but secretly laugh.
Qin Yining had already publicly expressed her disgust with the palace. Today's incident was indeed caused by the people in the palace. Zhou Meng thought, 'Such a delicate beauty must have been frightened by this group of boorish and stupid women. If I force her to stay, I'm afraid I'll have to bear a grudge. Anyway, Xiyue is such a big place. It's surrounded by deserts. Even if she lives with her clansmen, she won't be able to escape. Won't she have to move back after she gets married?
