Yu Youniang only discovered at the age of five that her mother was actually the true daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Estate, who had been separated from them for over twenty years.
The da...
Chapter 357 Lin Siqiong sympathizes with Yu Tingwan?
Princess Anguo listened quietly to Tuoba Ruoli's story. After Tuoba Ruoli finished speaking, she asked calmly, "What do you mean by saying this?"
"Although Li'er knows that Yu Youning gave her this medicine, she can't prove it. Grandmother is well versed in medicine—"
"Do you want me to find Yu Youning and prove that the third brother was poisoned by her?"
"yes!"
"And then?" Princess Anguo continued to ask.
"What...what then?" Tuoba Ruoli looked puzzled.
"I'm asking you, after you prove it, what will you do?"
Tuoba Ruoli stared at Princess Anguo in a daze, still not quite understanding why she asked that.
Seeing that Tuoba Ruoli couldn't even figure this out and was so stupid, Princess Anguo felt extremely annoyed.
"I've told you before, as the Crown Princess and the heir apparent to Xiliang, you need to have a long-term vision. Don't use those harem tricks you've learned. They're not presentable!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ruoli's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
Although Princess Anguo saw her expression, she did not stop and continued speaking.
"Don't think I don't know if you don't tell me. The Third Brother has already been beaten, why did he go and provoke Yu Youning and the others? It was you who instigated it!"
"Grandma, I—"
"Shut up!" Princess Anguo's voice suddenly rose, her face filled with anger. "If you continue to use these low-brow methods, I don't mind changing the candidate for crown prince!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ruoli's face turned extremely pale and her body trembled. She no longer dared to argue and could only kneel down obediently.
Seeing that she was still conscious, Princess Anguo's anger subsided a little.
"The Three Kingdoms Tournament is about to begin. We've been planning this for so long, isn't this the day we've been waiting for? If you want them dead, you can do it during the tournament, and you'll get what you want.
The more you mess around now, the more they'll be alerted in advance, which will only delay important matters. Do you understand? This palace knows that you extremely dislike Chu Huaixu now, but after all, he has been the crown prince for so many years, there are always many things you can learn from him.
"Think carefully about how he has conducted himself over the years; it will only benefit you. While he's still alive, learn from him. Once he's dead, even if you want to learn, you won't have the chance."
Princess Anguo's last words greatly pleased Tuoba Ruoli.
Tuoba Ruoli, who had looked unhappy just now, became very excited after hearing these words.
yes!
Chu Huaixu and the others are doomed to die!
They were going to die anyway, so why should she be so anxious?
She just had to wait!
Thinking this in her heart, Tuoba Ruoli calmed down and knelt there, looking more convinced.
"Grandma taught me a lesson. Li'er has realized her mistake and she will never do that again!"
Princess Anguo was very satisfied with this. "Li'er, I have high hopes for you. Please don't let me down!"
"Li'er won't! Please don't worry, Grandma!"
"Well, it's getting late, you should go back! I'll have someone go back with you and help you dress up properly."
"Yes! Thanks, Grandma!"
Tuoba Ruoli stood up from the ground, bowed, and then walked out.
As soon as I walked outside, I saw Lin Siqiong.
Since returning to Xiliang four thousand years ago, Tuoba Ruoli has lived in the Eastern Palace.
After all, she is the crown prince, and only by living in the Eastern Palace can she be in line with her status and be more legitimate.
Lin Siqiong lived in Princess Anguo's palace.
At the beginning, Tuoba Ruoli was a little worried.
After all, Lin Siqiong is Princess Anguo's biological daughter, unlike her, who is just her granddaughter.
What if Princess Anguo likes Lin Siqiong more and wants to support Lin Siqiong to take the throne?
But soon, Tuoba Ruoli found that her worries were completely unnecessary.
Although Lin Siqiong lived in Princess Anguo's palace, her status and treatment were not like that of Princess Anguo's daughter. Instead, she was like a palace maid.
Lin Siqiong not only had to relearn the rules, but also had to learn the rules of serving as a palace maid.
In this palace, whether they are palace maids or eunuchs, they all call Lin Siqiong Auntie.
What is the difference between a person who is called "Auntie" by the palace maids and eunuchs and these palace maids and eunuchs?
After seeing this, Tuoba Ruoli no longer regarded Lin Siqiong as her enemy.
Without the conflict of interests, Tuoba Ruoli felt a little more admiration for Lin Siqiong, like a daughter for her mother.
Although the two lived together in the palace, they did not meet often.
It has been a while since the two last met.
Seeing Lin Siqiong again at this time, Tuoba Ruoli felt a little surprised.
"Mother!"
Tuoba Ruoli cried out in surprise, with a bright smile on her face.
But compared with Tuoba Ruoli, Lin Siqiong's smile seemed much more forced.
"Your Highness, you are the crown prince, and I am just your aunt. Please don't shout like that, or the servants will hear you and it will damage your reputation."
Tuoba Ruoli disagreed, "Mother, how can you say that? I was born by you. Without you, where would I be? It is only natural for me to call you mother. If I don't, that would be truly unfilial!"
"Mother just said that. Did someone say something unpleasant behind her back? Did someone give Mother a hard time?
If it really happened, Mother doesn't have to endure it alone. Whether you tell Grandmother or me, we can take care of it for you and will never let you continue to suffer any more injustices!"
Tuoba Ruoli's words were sincere and heartfelt.
But to Lin Siqiong's ears, it sounded particularly harsh.
Lin Siqiong took several deep breaths and finally suppressed her surging anger.
This is not the first time I've experienced something like this; it's already the fifth year.
After a long time, I naturally got used to it and couldn't bear it as much as I did at the beginning.
Lin Siqiong smiled more sincerely, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If someone really bullies me, I will tell Your Highness! But there really isn't anyone bullying me right now!"
Tuoba Ruoli stared at Lin Siqiong for a while, and indeed did not see any embarrassment on her face. Then she nodded, "That's good! Mother, I have other things to do and have to go back. I will come to visit you another day when I am free."
"Your Highness, take care!"
Although Lin Siqiong did not salute, she still bowed slightly in the direction where Tuoba Ruoli left to show respect.
Only after hearing that Tuoba Ruoli and his group had completely left did Lin Siqiong slowly raise her head.
There was a perfect curve at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were already cold.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Siqiong turned around and walked into the hall.
As soon as I entered, I heard the voice of Princess Anguo.
"Do you feel wronged?"
Lin Siqiong quickly lowered her head.
The life in the past few years has already smoothed out her edges.
Now no matter what she was thinking in her heart, she could pretend nothing happened on the surface.
"Reporting to the princess, no."
Princess Anguo chuckled, "No? You can only deceive yourself with these two words! No, you can't even deceive yourself, right?"
"We both have the blood of the Xiliang royal family, and you are my own daughter, your bloodline is purer than hers, yet you live like a servant. Are you really willing to accept this?"
"What were you thinking every time you called her Your Highness? Are you really willing to do that?"
Lin Siqiong has always felt that her Qi-cultivation skills have reached perfection.
But after hearing what Princess Anguo said, his breathing became rapid.
For the first time, she did not follow the rules, raised her head and looked straight at Princess Anguo.
"Then Your Highness, can you tell me why this is happening?"
Princess Anguo looked at Lin Siqiong with admiration, "Not bad, not bad! Questioning me like this and having this kind of temper is like my daughter!"
Hearing this, Lin Siqiong was delighted.
Could it be that Princess Anguo felt that her character was too soft, and everything she had done before was to provoke her?
After that, will it be——
Before Lin Siqiong could continue thinking, she heard Princess Anguo's voice again.
"However, the more you resemble me, the more I hate you!"
"Have you forgotten all the rules you learned before? You can't look me in the eye. Have you forgotten?"
"Go out and kneel under the sun for two hours with the bowl of water on your head! If even a drop of water spills, I will never forgive you!"
Lin Siqiong was horrified, "Your Highness! Why—"
"I just told you that you don't follow the rules, and you're making the same mistake again? Who gave you the guts to directly question me? Kneel for two more hours! Now!"
Without waiting for Lin Siqiong to say anything, someone immediately came forward, lifted Lin Siqiong up from both sides, and took her out.
They dare not delay at all!
Princess Anguo was obviously angry.
If Lin Siqiong is not taken out quickly now, it will not be the only one who will be punished.
All of those who serve in the hall have come to a miserable end!
Lin Siqiong was taken out without struggling.
It was not until she was forced to kneel in the sun with a bowl of water on her head that Lin Siqiong came back to her senses from her shock.
Why?
Why did Princess Anguo treat her like this?
How could there be such a mother in this world?
At this moment, Lin Siqiong actually felt some sympathy for Yu Tingwan.
When Yu Tingwan first returned to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis's wife despised and made things difficult for her, but she only felt happy at the time.
Now that I am in the same situation and experiencing the same thing, I finally understand how sad and difficult it was for Yu Tingwan at that time!
