Chapter 123 Is the Crown Prince dissatisfied with Your Majesty?
"Are you saying that Murong Chen is here to settle accounts with Anle?" Zhong Ning's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned around immediately. "Everyone else, go back to the mansion first. Commander Jing, come with me to take a look!"
The servants respectfully agreed and returned to the princess's mansion.
Jing Wuchang led the imperial guards to clear the way in front, while Ruan Nuguan, Jingxin Suxin and several other palace maids followed closely behind Zhong Ning.
As soon as he entered the princess's mansion, he was welcomed in by the servants guarding the door.
Walk a few steps forward and turn into the corridor.
The view gradually widens. The palace is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, lush trees, and exotic flowers. There are also rockery and clear springs, which set off the whole palace like a pearl embracing the moon.
However, at this time, people in the mansion were in a hurry, mostly moving flowers and stones, and cleaning. It can be seen that although the yard is nice, it is still under tidying up.
After passing the arched gate, you will arrive at an exquisite courtyard.
Compared with other places in the mansion, the road leading to the courtyard has long been tidied up, and the pavilions and towers are dotted with vibrant green bamboos.
There are also exotic flowers and plants, which complement each other perfectly.
If there weren't a few harsh voices questioning from inside, just enjoying the beautiful scenery here would be refreshing.
As we got closer, we could faintly hear a loud shout coming from the yard:
"I thought you were sensible, but I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person... You've only won the favor of the Imperial Concubine and been adopted as her daughter, yet you dare to bully Huan'er by relying on her power!"
Murong Chen's voice was filled with ruthlessness: "As a concubine's daughter, you are disrespectful to your elder sister and disrespectful to your elders. You are so ungrateful that I will expel you from this family today!"
When Murong Chen said this, he raised his hand and was ready to teach his ignorant half-sister a lesson.
But before the slap was delivered, the imperial guards suddenly rushed in, accompanied by the voices of several princes' attendants trying to stop them.
Jing Wuchang led his men and kicked those bastards who were blocking the way away one by one.
Murong Chen's rage intensified, and he confronted Jing Wuchang directly, his expression stern, "Deputy Commander Jing, you brought the Imperial Guards with you and broke into the Princess's residence. What crime should you be punished for?"
Jing Wuchang made a gesture with a blank expression.
The imperial guards instantly split into two sides, extending from the flower hall to outside the courtyard.
Jing Wuchang looked into the distance with his eyebrows lowered, as if he was waiting for an important visit. Murong Chen followed his gaze and looked forward.
At the end of my sight, Zhong Ning was walking towards me in a long brocade dress.
"Prince, how are we going to clean up this family?" Zhong Ning's voice was indifferent, and his cold gaze fell on Murong Chen.
Murong Chen was about to speak when he saw his half-sister, whom he despised the most, rushing into Zhong Ning's arms like a young swallow.
"Wuwuwu...Sister Zhong, I was bullied... Wuwuwu..." Murong Xin threw herself into Zhong Ning's arms, crying breathlessly.
There were tears on the little face that was raised up, the eyes were red, and the expression was full of grievance. The whole person looked pitiful and so unlovable!
Murong Chen was so angry that he laughed at the sudden scene in front of him. It was obviously her who bullied Huan'er first, but she actually dared to turn the tables on her in front of him!
Zhong Ning patted Murong Xin's shoulder gently, his murderous gaze fixed on Murong Chen, his voice icy cold, "The prince hasn't said anything yet, how are you going to clean up the mess?"
Murong Chen:.......
Murong Chen stepped forward and defended himself, "Your Highness, I greet you. Your Highness, please don't be fooled by this damned girl. She has a bad temper and is disrespectful to her elder sister. Yesterday, Huan'er came to see her out of kindness, but she actually beat Huan'er out."
At this point, Murong Chen was filled with indignation. "Huan'er was slapped by her, and she cried bitterly after returning home. As the eldest son and the elder brother of this damned girl, I should punish her severely and teach her a lesson to rectify the family tradition!"
"No, no, Sister Zhong, she was the one who came to humiliate me first..." Murong Xin defended herself, her voice broken and tearful.
Oh, how can I argue with him in this state?
Zhong Ning casually pointed at the little palace maid who always accompanied Murong Xin. It was Mo Xin, who had previously gone to Fengcheng specifically to take care of Murong Xin. "You tell me!"
Mo Xin was already filled with righteous indignation. When she heard Zhong Ning speak, she immediately stepped forward and replied, "Princess, yesterday, I and others were helping the princess clean up the main courtyard when Princess Anqing suddenly showed up and humiliated her the moment she entered!"
"How dare you!" Murong Chen shouted, "How dare you, a mere palace maid, slander the princess of the palace? What is your crime?"
"Why would you do this, Prince? What was the situation at the time? There must have been many people present. We can't just believe what the Prince says!"
Zhong Ning's tone was sarcastic, and Murong Chen's body suddenly stiffened!
Mo Xin shrank back in fear at the sound, but seeing Zhong Ning's encouraging gaze, she continued, "I was right. As soon as Princess Anqing entered the mansion, she started to ridicule our Princess."
"Your mother is a slut who is not worthy of being on the stage. You are also a slut. Even if you win the favor of the imperial concubine, you are still a pheasant among a group of phoenixes."
"She also said, 'Don't think that just because you're favored by His Majesty and have been given the title of Princess, you can step on her head. A bastard is a bastard, and you're only fit to carry this Princess's shoes!'"
"Princess Anqing said a lot, most of which were insults to our princess. She even ordered people to smash up the princess's mansion, saying that she hadn't even been given a princess's mansion, so why should our princess have her own mansion?"
"Our princess ordered her to be kicked out because she couldn't stand it any longer!"
"This is absolutely true. We were all there at the time. There is absolutely no falsehood!"
Mo Xin spoke with great righteousness, and Murong Chen's face turned red with anger. He really couldn't imagine that his cute and lovely sister would say such a thing.
"You are all slaves of this damned girl, so naturally you are on her side, but this prince will never allow you to slander the princess of the palace!"
"The prince keeps calling you a dead girl. Is he dissatisfied with His Majesty?"
Zhong Ning stared at Murong Chen with a forced smile, "Princess Anle was bestowed by His Majesty himself, and the Princess's Mansion was even more so by His Majesty. You two siblings, one humiliated the Princess in person, and the other smashed up the Princess's Mansion bestowed by His Majesty."
"I wonder if the Crown Prince and the Princess's behavior was Uncle An's idea, or if you have a problem with His Majesty?"
Murong Chen's face flushed instantly.
The title was too big and he didn't dare to accept it.
He cupped his hands and said, "Princess Zhaohua, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This is the family affair of our Prince An's Mansion!"
"There is no family affairs in the royal family! I am just meddling in other people's business, what do you think of it?" Zhong Ning said in a light tone, hugging Murong Xin's shoulders tightly.
Murong Xin just felt sad.
If she had not exchanged identities with the real Murong Lan, I am afraid that in her impression, her cousin Murong Chen would still be so handsome and her cousin Murong Huan would be even more charming and lovely.
