Chapter 188 Princess Changping
Chapter 188 Princess Changping
"You are talking nonsense, it's not me, it's clearly..." The fifth princess' face was full of horror. She looked at the eunuch, and then at the sixth princess.
She never expected that the two eunuchs would point the finger at her. How could it be her? She was at most an accomplice.
"Someone, take these two audacious dogs to the Dali Temple and torture them!"
"Drag those who maliciously attacked Princess Yan along with him!"
The emperor had never expected that the mastermind behind this would be the Fifth Princess. The inexplicable jealousy between women was really deadly. He knew that Xiao Hanye was petty, but the Fifth Princess was his daughter, so how could he not protect her? The important thing was that if such a scandal in the harem was exposed and discussed in detail, it would ultimately be a loss of face for him as the king of a country.
So he spoke up in time to stop it.
His words had two meanings, as they not only protected the Fifth Princess but also Chu Nanyue, and were considered to be giving Xiao Hanye some face.
How could Xiao Hanye appreciate his kindness? He made up a story out of nothing, so he stood in front of the knife-wielding imperial guards and was about to stop them. Instead, Chu Nanyue grabbed his collar and whispered, "There is nothing wrong with the emperor protecting his daughter. After all, our goal has been achieved. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't go against the emperor!"
She already knew in her heart that the Queen protected the Sixth Princess and the Emperor protected the Fifth Princess. No matter what, she could not get justice today.
No matter how arrogant and overbearing Xiao Hanye was, he was still a subject. If he was too persistent, it would hurt the relationship between father and son, which was not much to begin with, but still needed to be maintained.
Xiao Hanye glanced at her and sneered, "I believe in revenge on the spot. The two of them dared to attack you and my seventh brother one after another, so they should bear the consequences!"
Seeing that she couldn't convince Xiao Hanye, Chu Nanyue thought for a moment and then smiled slyly: "They are playing dirty tricks on us, so we should give them a taste of their own medicine."
Xiao Hanye's eyes lit up, and he stopped and said, "Oh?"
"Just please!" Chu Nanyue raised an eyebrow at him and pulled him away.
Xiao Hanye obediently followed her step by step back to her seat. He liked Chu Nanyue's dark side the most. He looked down upon those who repaid evil with kindness.
After returning to his seat, Chu Nanyue took out two pills from his arms, and then said mysteriously to Xiao Hanye: "Your Majesty, please feed these two pills to the two bad princesses!"
The Queen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the three eunuchs finally being dragged away by the Imperial Guards. She glared at the Sixth Princess fiercely.
The Sixth Princess was secretly rejoicing, but when she saw her mother's sharp eyes, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
The Fifth Princess snorted secretly. How could the Sixth Princess drag her down with her at the critical moment? If the Emperor hadn't protected her, she didn't know how she would have ended up.
She looked at the emperor in a flattering manner, but was glared at by him fiercely. She couldn't help but shrink her neck in fear.
After the emperor gouged out the fifth princess, he turned to Xiao Yihang. However, seeing his listless appearance, his angry eyes softened instantly: "If the seventh princess is not feeling well, please leave!"
Qin Qi supported him and thanked him, then asked frankly, "Does the emperor intend to give the princess of Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion to Prince Chen as his principal wife or concubine?"
Although she and Su Xi were not familiar with each other, they were acquainted. Since she and Xiao Yihang had already had an affair, it was probably a foregone conclusion that they would share the same husband. She might as well find out everything in one go.
Being timid is really not her character.
The emperor's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. Is his seventh son lucky enough to have two heroic women?
Xiao Yihang didn't want to have the best of both worlds. He was forced into a marriage with Qin Qi, and now Su Xi was added to the mix? Why was his life so miserable?
He wanted to, but he couldn't do it. His fourth brother had taught him to be a responsible man since he was young. Since he had taken possession of Su Xi's body, he had to take on this responsibility. So, he said in a deep voice: "Princess, please let me know what you want. I will do my best to satisfy you!"
Prince Ning felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly, and said sinisterly: "The princess is my princess, what can I ask of you? Don't even think about snatching her away!"
After saying that, he strode towards Su Xi and said sincerely: "Xi'er, I don't blame you for what happened today. I can let bygones be bygones!"
When he said this, everyone was stunned. Prince Ning seemed to be quite comfortable wearing the green hat, but what they said one by one was...
"Prince Ning is truly a rare lover in the world!"
"Yes, with a husband like this, what else could the princess ask for?"
"You can tell who loves you at a glance. When Miss Shen and Prince Jing were having sex, Prince Ning was disgusted. But the princess was very skilled and locked Prince Ning up tightly."
When Shen Meng'er heard everyone's discussions, her fair face instantly turned pale and blue. King Ning was really partial to one person and mistook the other for the other. She looked at King Ning with a dark look in her eyes.
Chu Nanyue also looked at King Ning with an angry look on his face. This cuckold feels so superior even though he wears the green hat!
Did she risk her life and put so much effort into directing such a big drama just to verify the deep affection of Prince Ning?
She pulled Xiao Hanye's clothes unhappily, signaling him to think of a solution quickly. However, Xiao Hanye was not on the same wavelength with her at all. He was quietly instructing Leng Jiu and gave Leng Jiu the two pills she had just given him without anyone noticing.
Chu Nanyue was so angry that she pouted.
In fact, Xiao Hanye would never be so reckless. It was true that he really didn't care about Su Xi, but he also knew clearly in his heart that at this point, the matter no longer depended on the emperor, Xiao Yihang and Prince Ning, but depended on Su Xi.
Su Xi is one of the few strong women in the world. She has already given so much, so she will never go back.
Sure enough, just when Chu Nanyue was about to twist his waist out of anger, he heard Su Xi say, "Thank you, Prince Ning, for your kindness, but now Su Xi is already a fallen woman, and cannot be a housewife of an ordinary family, let alone a prince who is so high and mighty. Prince Ning, please do not disregard the reputation of the royal family because of a momentary impulse!"
Prince Ning was very twisted now. On the one hand, he hated Su Xi's dirty body, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to give up the military power in her father's hands. So, he angrily asked: "So, you want to become the princess of Prince Chen instead?"
"Xiao Yihang, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. Aren't you just coveting the military power of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion? You usually pretend to be careless, spendthrift, and unruly, but I think you really have no desires or requests!"
What he can't get, Xiao Yihang can never get!
Xiao Yihang was really wronged. Qin Qi was not his wish, let alone Su Xi. He said unhappily, "Second brother, don't judge others by your own standards. What I regret most is entering the palace to attend the banquet today!"
Prince Ning snorted coldly: "Everyone can say nice things, but if you have the ability, control your lower body!"
Qin Qi subconsciously helped Xiao Yihang cover the dirt on his robe. Xiao Hanye took a glance and couldn't help but curled the corners of his lips.
Leng Jiu did a great job. By the way, where did he get the dirty stuff from? It's so realistic!
He only knew about this when Chu Nanyue helped him with his hands during the bathing.
A blush quickly spread across Xiao Yihang's fair face. Although he was still a virgin, he had been to many brothels and knew everything he should know. He embarrassedly brushed away Qin Qi's hand and forced himself to straighten the hem of his skirt.
No! He was no longer a virgin. He had no memory of it at all. He had lost his innocence in such an inexplicable way!
Where can he go to seek justice?
"If it weren't for Xiao Rongyue and Xiao Qingyun, would I have gone against my own will?" Xiao Yihang glared at the Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess, even calling them by their names. Then, he said to Prince Ning in a sinister tone, "Second brother, if you have the leisure to bully me, you might as well spend your time teaching your sister a lesson. You attacked me twice in a row, causing Second Brother to be cuckolded twice. This is really a blessing that not everyone can ask for!"
The emperor saw that Xiao Yihang had brought up the war that had just been quelled again, and he shouted, "Seventh Brother, be careful with your words!"
Xiao Yihang immediately said aggrievedly: "Father...I am the victim...I feel so miserable!"
If he wasn't a grown man, he would have sat on the ground and cried loudly.
What is all this about?
He had originally been rewarded with one thousand taels of gold, and Chu Nanyue also promised to let him join Yuen Nifang for free. He was extremely happy, but in the blink of an eye, he was hit by a devastating blow.
Who can stand this?
When the emperor saw Xiao Yihang's almost crying face, he didn't have the heart to blame him anymore, but he was also very unhappy. His old face looked extremely gloomy, and the queen's face didn't look very good either.
In short, everyone in the hall was in a bad mood. At this critical moment, probably only Xiao Hanye and Xiao Junan could drink tea calmly.
Su Xi glanced at everyone in the palace and continued in a deep voice: "Although Su Xi was innocently implicated today, it is Su Xi's fault that the two princes had a rift! My father has been guarding the border for many years, and his loyalty is known to the sun and the moon. As his children, we must not disgrace the reputation of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Therefore, Su Xi will neither continue to be the Princess of Ning, nor will she be transferred to Prince Chen. I beg Your Majesty to grant this!"
As soon as she said this, there was an immediate commotion among the crowd.
Marrying into the royal family is what every woman dreams of. Especially since Su Xi became the principal wife directly without having to fight monsters to level up, it is a blessing that many women would wish for, but she treated it like a worn-out shoe.
As expected of a general's daughter, she is full of pride and dignity.
If it wasn't the wrong occasion, Chu Nanyue would have wanted to applaud her.
The emperor stared at Su Xi, and suddenly thought of her father. He and Chu Nanyue's father were once two iron-blooded generals of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, but their ending was sad, especially Chu Zhaoming.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Marquis Zhenyuan has guarded the border for seven years, which can be said to be hard work and great contributions. My son has humiliated his daughter. I must give you an explanation."
After he finished speaking, his gaze moved towards Prince Ning and Xiao Yihang.
His meaning was very clear, Su Xi must marry one of them.
Prince Ning looked at Su Xi again, with a look of deep affection visible to the naked eye on his handsome face: "Xi'er, I really don't care!"
Xiao Yihang said sincerely: "No matter what choice the princess makes, I will respect you!"
Su Xi shook her head and suddenly came with a dagger in her hand, frightening Jiang Shou so much that he shouted repeatedly: "Protect the emperor!"
Su Xi lifted up a lock of her hair and cut it off at lightning speed. As the lock of hair fell to the ground, she knelt down with a clang and said, "Su Xi is no longer worthy of marrying into the royal family. I have no intention of causing a fight between Prince Ning and Prince Chen. Today, I swear by cutting off my hair that I will never enter the royal family again in this lifetime. Let the dispute start here and end here!"
A woman's hair and body are given by her parents, and when a woman cuts off her hair, it is seen as her determination to become a nun and break the shackles.
The emperor saw that Su Xi had made up her mind, and that the royal family owed her, so he did not force her any further. He said in a low voice, "The princess of Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion has been innocently implicated. I am deeply saddened. I hereby confer her the title of Princess Changping and reward her with a fief of 1,000 households. I decree this!"
"Your Majesty, I thank you. Long live the emperor!" Su Xi kowtowed.
Only at this moment did Chu Nanyue let out a long sigh of relief.
Although today's events were full of twists and turns, fortunately the ending was perfect. Not only was Su Xi not looked down upon, but she also turned a disaster into a blessing and was awarded a title. This is a great honor. At this moment, she wanted to thank King Ning's stupid teammates.
At this time, a suppressed cry was heard from the pig teammate.
Her eyes lit up and she looked over immediately.
The Sixth Princess had a look of hidden discomfort on her face. Her hands seemed to be scratching her private parts. While scratching, she cursed, "What's going on? It's so itchy!"
A bright red flush appeared on her face.
Why is that place so itchy?
The Eighth Princess saw the Sixth Princess's actions and moved away from her with a strong sense of disdain: "Sixth Sister, please be careful in public, okay?"
The fifth princess looked over in the direction of the eighth princess' voice and glanced at her coldly.
Because the eunuch had blamed her for what she had done, she had determined that it was the Sixth Princess's doing. So, at this moment, she wished that she would make a fool of herself. However, due to the Queen's majesty, she did not have the courage of the Eighth Princess and could only say "good" in her heart.
"Why don't I pay attention to my image...and what does it have to do with you...don't..."
The fifth princess cursed back, but her voice became weaker and weaker. What's going on? Why is it getting more and more itchy?
At this moment, she really didn't care about her image anymore. She just felt as if there were millions of ants biting her there, and the scratching in silence was no longer enough to satisfy her.
"It's so uncomfortable and itchy!"
While she was scratching, her outer coat had already fallen off. The Sixth Princess was sitting on the seat with her legs apart, scratching fiercely.
After Chu Nanyue saw this, her eyes reflected a deep sense of doubt. She frowned and whispered, "Did you feed both pills to the Sixth Princess?"
Xiao Hanye raised his eyebrows, which was considered as an admission.
If two princesses rebelled at the same time, it would be hard not to arouse suspicion, but if there was only the Sixth Princess, it would be a common occurrence.
Chu Nanyue blinked her eyes, revealing a cunning look: "The prince is really too bad, and now the Sixth Princess has to suffer!"
The Sixth Princess's actions were so eye-catching that they attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was watching with great enjoyment.
The Queen also noticed it and quickly shouted coldly to stop him: "Xiao Qingyun!"
At this moment, the Sixth Princess could no longer hear anything. She just felt extremely itchy and wished she could cut off the two pieces of flesh.
The Eighth Princess saw the bloodstains on her skirt and pants and exclaimed, "Ah? Sixth Sister is bleeding from scratching herself? Could it be that Sixth Sister has contracted a dirty disease that the women in the brothels have?"
