The Crown Princess recognized him.
He was the dark guard who would rather give the Thousand-Year-Old Lingzhi to Gu Jiao than to her.
To this day, the Crown Princess still recalled that feeling of embarra.s.sment.
If this kind of disobedient dark guard were in the East Palace, the Crown Prince would have dismissed him long ago.
The Crown Princess maintained a polite façade and said, "Please convey my message. I wish to see the princess."
Long Yi remained unmoved.
The Crown Princess felt choked and opened her mouth again, "I haven"t met you before, and I don"t believe I"ve done anything to displease you. Is there a misunderstanding between us?"
Long Yi continued to stand still.
The Crown Princess hadn’t seen a Dragon Shadow Guard before, and naturally didn’t know that Long Yi was one. She simply thought he was intentionally going against her.
She pondered that if Princess Xinyang had truly awakened, she would have heard the commotion at the door. Since she hadn"t come out, she must still be asleep.
Forget it, why was she even arguing with a dark guard? She had nothing to gain or lose from this confrontation.
The Crown Princess turned to leave.
As she walked out of the courtyard, she unexpectedly met Gu Jiao, who had hurried over from Bishui Alley.
The Crown Princess was taken aback, "It"s you? What are you doing here? Are you..." She looked at Gu Jiao, then turned to glance at the house behind her, asking witn uncertainty, "...coming here?"
Gu Jiao sized her up and down, apparently also wondering how the Crown Princess had ended up here.
The Crown Princess stated indifferently, "This crown princess is asking you."
Raising an eyebrow, Gu Jiao responded, "Do I have to answer if you ask?"
Having hit a wall with Long Yi earlier, the Crown Princess already had a bellyful of anger, and now she was further provoked by Gu Jiao. She couldn"t help but display some irritation, "Young Miss Gu, it"s true that you have the favor of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, but how long will that favor last? Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I will be the Empress. I have no intention of making things difficult for you, but you also shouldn’t paint yourself into a corner."
The familiar tone, the identical choice of words and sentences...
Where had she heard this before?
Ah.
Ning w.a.n.g.
Indeed, where in the world was there an impermeable wall? Where was there a fire that could be wrapped in paper?
When one person had an inexplicable relationship with another, their words and deeds would unconsciously permeate each other"s habits.
Yu Jin"s arrival timely broke the tense deadlock.
"Physician Gu, please have a seat inside." She smiled and said to the Crown Princess, "Physician Gu is the physician I brought from the medical hall to treat the princess."
"So that’s how it is." The Crown Princess shifted her gaze away from Gu Jiao"s face and said, "I"ll come back to see the princess when she wakes up."
Having said that, the Crown Princess stepped over the threshold.
In the split second that she pa.s.sed Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao asked almost instinctively, "Does Xiao Liulang"s disappearance have anything to do with you?"
Originally, Gu Jiao was just casually asking.
Who knew that the Crown Princess would stiffen with guilt.
Gu Jiao, who keenly caught her reaction, grabbed her arm and pulled her back, saying, "Explain yourself!"
The Crown Princess"s back hit the wall, causing a sharp pain. What was even more unbearable was that this posture made her feel her dignity had been offended. She said in a cold voice, "Presumptuous!"
The guilt in her eyes didn"t escape Gu Jiao"s notice.
Tightening her grip on the Crown Princess"s lapel, Gu Jiao pushed her further against the wall without hesitation, her gaze icy as she spoke, "I don"t care if you"re the Crown Princess or the Empress, don"t push me to take action."
"You dare––––"
Smack!
Gu Jiao swiftly slapped her, sending her sprawling to the ground!
Yu Jin sucked in a breath of cold air!
The East Palace guards who accompanied the Crown Princess rushed in, only to be kicked out by Gu Jiao one by one!
Gu Jiao grabbed the fallen Crown Princess from the ground, her tone severe, "Who did it? Was it you, or is there an accomplice?"
The Crown Princess gritted her teeth and said, "I haven"t done anything! Let go of me!"
The loud commotion disturbed Princess Xinyang’s slumber, and she rushed out.
"Stop!"
Princess Xinyang had her long hair disheveled, indicating that she had just gotten up from the bed and hadn"t had time to groom herself.
But Gu Jiao wasn"t about to stop. This wasn"t a minor incident like scaring her husband with a cat; it almost cost her husband"s life. She was furious, and the consequences were severe.
Gu Jiao grabbed the Crown Princess and began pounding her to the ground.
Princess Xinyang couldn"t have imagined that Xiao Heng would marry such an overbearing woman. She involuntarily took in a sharp breath of cold air and said, "I told you to stop, didn"t you hear me? If you continue like this, I won"t be polite!"
Gu Jiao was equally angry.
Humph!
Do what you want!
This girl"s ability to enrage people to death was just like Long Yi"s!
Princess Xinyang clenched her fists and shouted, "Long Yi! Separate the two of them!"
Since Princess Xinyang had given the order, Long Yi had no choice but to intervene.
In order to prevent Long Yi from distorting her command again, Princess Xinyang changed her original instruction from "Long Yi, take action" to "separate the two of them."
Otherwise, she feared Long Yi might take action against the Crown Princess.
Long Yi emerged with a swoosh. The command was to separate the two of them, so he had no choice but to step forward and separate the individuals.
He started with Gu Jiao.
When he handled Gu Jiao, it was like this—— he carefully grasped her wrist, patted the back of her hand as if soothing a child, and gently took her hands away, afraid of causing her any pain.
However, when he reached the Crown Princess, his demeanor completely changed, and his whole mask seemed to display his dissatisfaction!
Then, Gu Jiao watched as Long Yi swung his arm and literally flung the Crown Princess away like a wild chicken!
Gu Jiao: "..."
Princess Xinyang: "…"Raz P."s Thoughts
