663 Aggrieved Xiaobao, Little Sly Jiang Is Here (3)
“I heard you… Boohoo…” The little commandery princess did not have the guts like Nangong Li. She was so frightened that she cried and begged for mercy. She had simply embarra.s.sed the country.
The shopkeeper who sold Fuyuanzi had seen Yu Wan a few times, but this was the first time he had seen her so angry. No one understood their conversation, but they were all stunned by her aura.
The shopkeeper glanced at the soup that was cooking Fuyuanzi. He thought to himself, The little commandery princess’ hair seems to have fallen in. Should I change to a new pot of soup later?
Yu Wan vented her anger and turned around. She brought the Fuyuanzi and returned to the manor with her sons.
!!
The little commandery princess was not as carefree as her. She returned to the Princess Manor crying. When she thought about how she had lost all her face in front of so many people just now, she was embarra.s.sed and wished she could find a hole to bury herself in!
After returning to the courtyard, she locked herself in her room. She did not eat or sleep. The servant was worried that she would do something stupid in the room, so he quickly reported to Nangong Li.
Nangong Li came to the room to see her. Seeing her face full of tears, he smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you encounter something unhappy on your trip?”
“You can still laugh! Do you know how badly I was bullied!” The little commandery princess told Nangong Li about how Yu Wan had almost cooked her face. “…You still say that she’s my cousin? I don’t want such a cousin! She’s bullying me because I don’t have my mother to support me. She’s bullying us for not being part of the Queen Manor!”
Nangong Li narrowed his eyes in confusion. Was that girl still that timid and innocent little peasant girl from back then? What has happened in the past few years? Why did it feel like she had become a different person?
The face was still the same, but the core… seemed to be different.
However, this matter might be a turning point. He was worried that he would not have a chance to deal with them openly, so they sent themselves to the door.
Nangong Li stroked his sister’s shoulder dotingly. “Don’t worry, you won’t be humiliated for nothing. I promise you that I’ll pay you back ten times or a hundred times for the grievances you suffered from your cousin!”
That night, Nangong Li “arrived” in the Capital on an order. The first thing he did after returning to the Capital was to enter the palace to visit the Empress, who was “unwell”.
In fact, the Empress’s body was indeed a little unwell, but it was not because she was worried about Nangong Li, but because she was angered by Consort Yun.
For some reason, Consort Yun found out that she had secretly hid Nangong Yan in the Central Palace. Consort Yun went to the Emperor and said that the Empress had played favorites and violated the law. She asked the Emperor to punish her according to the palace rules.
How could the Emperor bear to deal with the Empress?
Consort Yun threatened to blow things up. In order to appease Consort Yun, the Emperor had promoted Consort Yun. Now, she was no longer Consort Yun, but Honored Consort Yun.
Honored Consort Yun came to the Emperor every two to three days, making the Empress furious. The Empress said that her heart hurt, and it really hurt.
After entering the palace to visit the Empress, Nangong Li returned to everyone’s sight openly. Since he had “returned”, some of the debts had to be settled.
Consort Yun went to the Central Palace twice a day to wake the Empress up in the morning. Tonight, she angered the Empress again and returned to her new bedchamber in satisfaction.
After being promoted to an honored consort, her original palace was not high-end enough. She wanted the Vermilion Bird Palace, which was second only to the Central Palace. She was leisurely walking back to the palace when a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky. Her eyes widened and she was knocked unconscious before she could even call out.
The next day, something big happened in the harem—Honored Consort Yun had gone missing!
On the same day, a handwritten letter came from the Helian family.
“If you want to save Consort Yun, Changting Temple at midnight tonight.” There was a sentence at the end of the letter. “Come alone, if you disobeyed, Consort Yun would die!”
It was supposed to be sent to Yu Wan, but the mother and daughter looked too similar. The messenger accidentally recognized the wrong person and sent it to Little Sly Jiang.
