Just now, in order to receive the decree, Mu Yunyao had helped to remove the gauze covering the Poison Matriarch"s face. Now, they needed to wrap it again.
Seeing Mu Yunyao cover her mouth with gauze while laughing, the Poison Matriarch couldn"t stop herself from glaring at her. She took the gauze and chased her out, "It"s good enough that I can do it myself, in case the gauze isn"t finished and you laugh yourself out, I can"t compensate you."
Mu Yunyao wasn"t angry at all at being chased out. She happily smiled as she went to the main hall to accompany Grand Princess Yi De. Just as she entered the door, before she even had the chance to greet them, she heard the wailing of Consort Zhen outside.
"Chenqie [1] seeks an audience with Grand Princess Yide!"
"Grand Princess, your consort has a grievance in her heart. I plead for Your Highness to uphold justice."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward to support Grand Princess Yi De"s arm. "Grandmother."
Grand Princess Yi De shook her head slightly. "This concubine is becoming more and more out of control. Senior Servant Qu, please send Imperial Concubine Zhen back to her palace. She"s so noisy that she"s acting outrageously."
"Yes."
Senior Servant Qu hadn"t even left the palace gates when Consort Zhen broke free from the palace maids and rushed into the main hall. When she saw Grand Princess Yi kneeling on the ground, she couldn"t help but cry out, "I beg the Grand Princess for your grace to save Jun Jin"s life!"
Senior Servant Qu sternly reprimanded him, "Impudent! "Grand Imperial Concubine, how can you speak nonsense in front of the Grand Princess? Someone, send the grand imperial concubine out!"
"Grand Princess, there is no way for Jun Jin to live. He is the son of the Emperor after all. I have to watch him die before I do anything." Your Highness, you have always been a kind and benevolent person, please save Jun Jin, please save him. "
Grand Princess Yi De raised a hand to stop Senior Servant Qu, "Princess Zhen, you trespa.s.sed into Jade Flower Hall without permission. Is that all you"re doing?" From the moment she received fortune from the emperor, she had already known that her birth was low. Without the support of her mother, the only thing she could rely on was the Emperor, who was uncertain in his emotions. But now, even the Emperor had given up on her and her son.
As a result, he pulled Jun Jin along.
"Grand Princess, Jun Jin has always been by your side. Under your tutelage, he has always had a good temper. He was a good boy since he was a child. He was very meticulous and filial. He had never made any mistakes in the court..."
From the start until now, Grand Princess Yi De only looked at her coldly, without a single ripple in her eyes.
At the start, Ju Fei had been talking in a teary voice, but as time went by, her voice gradually grew softer as she looked uneasily at the Grand Princess. Are you done? " Grand Princess Yi De raised her eyes, her phoenix eyes shining with a dignified light. "If you hadn"t said so, I would have forgotten. When Jun Jin was nine years old, I lived in the palace for a period of time. During that time, he came to my side all day to pay his respects. He looked extremely respectful, and I really liked him. Thus, I let him complete his master …
After the lesson, I would often come to the Jade Flower Hall to play … "
She didn"t know why Grand Princess Yi had suddenly said all this, but a bad premonition gradually rose in her heart.
"Do you know why I did not allow him to return to the Jade and Flowers Palace?"
"No!" Princess Zhen shook her head, looking dazed. "Chenqie doesn"t know. Please, Grand Princess, tell me …"
"Because I noticed that the child was acting so respectful in front of me, but in private he was extremely disgusted with me and even broke my leg when he gave me to the little gumba he had raised."
Consort Zhen"s eyes trembled as she looked at the expressionless face of Grand Princess Yi. A wave of fear rose in her heart, "Grand Princess, there shouldn"t be any misunderstandings in this …"
"I also thought that there was some misunderstanding. I even specially observed it for two days. Every time I sent Jun Jin to Jade Flower Hall, he would beat up that "Jinba" and vent his anger upon his return. After that, I wouldn"t let him come. What do you think?"
As she recalled a scene in her mind, she couldn"t help but shiver. She was the one who had asked Ning Junjin to curry favor with Grand Princess De.
At that time, the First and Second Princes were extremely outstanding. Only Ning Junjin appeared average, and he was even teased repeatedly by his two royal brothers. In order to increase his wager, he took advantage of the time it took for the Grand Princess Yi to return to the capital. He wanted to let Ning Junjin earn a convenient place under the Grand Princess"s guidance. In the beginning, Ning Junjin had been very patient, even saying that the Grand Princess Yi treated him very well. But later on, the Grand Princess would often ask about his lessons and even punish him once. "Every time he was questioned by Grand Princess Yi De, he would always come back and beat that Jing Ba [1] until he left the Jing Ba [2]."
Qi. One day, she heard Grand Princess Yide say that Prince Jin no longer needed to go to the Jade Flower Palace. Annoyed, she went to ask Ning Junjin about the reason. When she arrived at the hall, she found blood all over the floor.
Come. At that time, she was both frightened and angry. She punished Ning Junjin severely, and then she did everything she could to smooth this matter over. Fortunately, Grand Princess De didn"t leave the palace for too long, and didn"t have much of an impact. She had always thought that this matter was not known, but she did not know that Grand Princess Yi De had long ago …
Everything was crystal clear.
"Grand Princess …" Seeing the pale face of consort Zhen, Grand Princess Yi De"s gaze grew cold. "Everything in this world has its cause. Jun Jin was indeed a good child, but unfortunately, as a mother, you only taught him to be compet.i.tive, and forgot to teach him tolerance. You should be clear in your heart about what he did in Jiangnan. The Emperor only confined him and did not announce his wrongdoings to the world. If you really are doing this for his good, then you"ll be safe from now on. Your Majesty is reminiscing about old friendship. You have served by his side for so many years, how could he be like this?! "
When I treated you like a queen, I forced you into a cold palace, didn"t I? "
Hearing the two words "Cold Palace", Ju Fei immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Grand Princess, for your advice, chenqie … Chenqie will always remember this. "
Grand Princess Yi De withdrew her gaze. "It"s good that you remember. As the saying goes, if one is struck by something, one will gain intelligence. If one is killed, it would be useless. Senior Servant Qu, get someone to send the concubine out."
"Yes."
After sending off the concubine, the Grand Princess Yi De remained silent. Mu Yunyao walked up to Princess Yi De, ma.s.saged her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Grandmother, I finished checking the accounts last night, and have been selling the fruit tea extremely well these days. I"ve earned about 80,000 taels of silver, so I can give you 16,000 taels.
After all, when we arrive at the palace, the silver seems to be shining brightly, making us especially happy. "
Grand Princess Yi De couldn"t help but be startled, but then she laughed. "Little girl, you actually know how to make our grandmother happy."
"You are my grandmother. Naturally, I hope that you will always smile." Grand Princess Yi De held onto Mu Yunyao"s hand as she measured her growth with her increasingly beautiful face, "Yunyao, you must remember, although people can be cruel and merciless, they can never destroy humanity. If you want yourself to always stand on the undefeated throne, you can"t stand on the opposing side between the emperor and the commoners.
Go, if Prince Jin could understand this point, he definitely wouldn"t have ended up like this. There are some things that cannot be done, and some bottom lines that cannot be crossed! " Mu Yunyao"s heart trembled. "Yes, Grandmother, Yunyao understands."
