Chapter 217 Never Admit

Xu Lanshan: "By the way, why isn't the eldest prince here? I thought Concubine Shu would bring the eldest prince with her! The eldest prince must be very happy to know that he has a younger brother, right?"

Who doesn't know how to stab each other?

Originally, Xu Lanshan didn't want to say this, but it was obviously not her style to not return the favor after being bullied on the first day.

After hearing this, Concubine Shu seemed to be greatly stimulated and was completely enraged by Xu Lanshan. She glared at her fiercely with a look that seemed to be filled with poison: "Xu——"

"Your Highness!" Aunt Xu saw that the situation was not good and didn't care about etiquette. She hurriedly interrupted Concubine Shu and said, "Your Highness, shouldn't we go and pay our respects to the Empress first?"

Concubine Shu regained her senses, suppressed her anger, and smiled deeply at Xu Lanshan: "Noble Concubine Chen has become more eloquent and eloquent. Even her courage has increased a lot compared to before. I think this is the benefit of being a noble concubine. Noble Concubine Chen must hold on tightly, otherwise who knows what will happen..."

"Thank you for the reminder, Concubine Shu. I will do it naturally. I will not disturb you any longer. Please go and pay your respects to the Empress!"

"Oh!"

Concubine Shu left with her men.

Xu Lanshan also turned and left.

The eyes of the ladies sparkled with gossip, and they smiled knowingly.

It is a great fortune to be able to see the hustle and bustle in the palace!

Lady Shufei did lose her composure today, but it's no wonder. She was originally the only one in power, but now she is at a disadvantage. Who can remain silent?

But... Consort Shu was so impatient, and even her arguments were inconclusive, leaving her rather disgraced. This certainly didn't seem like the demeanor and upbringing of a noble lady. And what kind of personality would the eldest prince, whom she raised, have?

The incident between Concubine Shu and Xu Lanshan had no impact on the entire full moon banquet. After the banquet began, everyone continued to congratulate with smiles on their faces, and the guests and hosts were still having a great time.

After the banquet, Xu Lanshan returned to Lianyi Palace.

After a while, people from the Qianyuan Palace arrived with gifts. The leading eunuch smiled and said, "The Emperor said he had something to do tonight and would not be coming. Please rest first, Your Majesty. The Emperor will come to see you and the little prince tomorrow."

Xu Lanshan was a little puzzled, but she was too lazy to ask the little eunuch.

If you have anything to say, just ask the emperor directly tomorrow. It’s not nice to ask a little eunuch.

"I understand, go ahead!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave..."

When Concubine Shu returned to Jingyuan Palace, she saw Emperor Yuan Yong sitting in the main seat as soon as she entered the hall. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly overjoyed. She quickly raised her hand to adjust the hairpin on her bun, and stepped forward and knelt and bowed: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! Your Majesty, why did you come here tonight... No, I don't mean anything else, it's just a little too unexpected. I thought that Your Majesty would definitely go to Lianyi Palace tonight..."

Concubine Shu was already feeling proud and had already thought about how she would ridicule and mock Xu Lanshan when she saw her tomorrow.

Tonight is the little prince’s full moon banquet, but the emperor came to Jingyuan Palace!

Emperor Yuan Yong's expression was calm and composed. "I have something to ask you, so I came naturally. Stand up, sit down and talk. Someone, bring in Nanny Yu, the eldest prince's wet nurse."

Concubine Shu's face changed: "Is it because that servant did not serve the eldest prince well? But what happened to the eldest prince?"

"Don't be nervous. The eldest prince is fine. Just listen to me, Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu was completely confused by what she heard and had no idea what was going on, but she had no choice but to listen. What else could she do?

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Nanny Yu came over like a walking corpse, dispirited and kneeling on the ground.

Concubine Shu was shocked and almost went crazy with anxiety!

The nurse was in such a state, and she still dared to say that her son was fine? She didn't believe it!

Concubine Shu was about to say something when Emperor Yuan Yong said coldly, "Madam Yu, what happened today? Tell me, don't miss a word, or I'll have you dragged out and beaten to death! Speak!"

"Your Majesty..."

Concubine Shu was also so anxious that she was fuming: "Hurry up and tell me, tell me!"

"Yes, yes..." Nanny Yu felt bitter in her mouth and even more bitter in her heart. She thought that Concubine Shu was urging her to speak quickly. Once she told her everything, she didn't know what she would think and how she would blame her...

Nanny Yu lowered her head, her voice trembling as she told everything in a trembling manner.

When it came to the idea that the eldest prince disliked the younger prince and that the younger prince was not a younger brother, Concubine Shu's face changed drastically: "That's impossible! Your Majesty!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly became angry and shouted sternly, "Let Madam Yu continue speaking, no interruptions allowed!"

"emperor--"

"Shut up!"

“…”

Concubine Shu glared at Nanny Yu angrily, "Nanny Yu, if you——"

"Clang!" With a crisp sound, Emperor Yuan Yong fiercely grabbed the tea bowl beside him and smashed it to the ground. His dark eyes were as cold as frost. "Are you trying to threaten Nanny Yu in front of me, Concubine Shu? Hmm?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not! I, I just want to remind her not to talk nonsense and wrongly accuse the eldest prince! Your Majesty, the eldest prince would never say such a thing. Your Majesty is wise! If she wronged the eldest prince, I would feel distressed, and wouldn't Your Majesty also feel distressed..."

Emperor Yuan Yong sneered, "Then you can rest assured. Nanny Yu will never dare to wrongly accuse the eldest prince."

"This cunning slave, who knows what she has in mind? I, a concubine, cannot trust her any more. I wonder what is wrong with her. She actually wants to harm the eldest prince and me!"

Concubine Shu knelt down and sobbed, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

Now she could only insist that Nanny Yu had wronged the eldest prince. In short, she absolutely could not admit this.

Little did she know that Emperor Yuan Yong was looking at her with eyes full of sarcasm. Suddenly, he chuckled, "Ha!" and uttered a cold sentence through his thin lips: "I heard those words with my own ears. I simply asked Nanny Yu to repeat them for you to hear. You think she would lie, do you think I have wronged the eldest prince?"

"......" Concubine Shu opened her eyes wide in horror and looked up suddenly, looking at Emperor Yuan Yong in disbelief.

How is it possible... How is it possible...

Emperor Yuan Yong withdrew his gaze and ordered Nanny Yu, "Continue."

"yes......"

Nanny Yu finished speaking tremblingly, and the entire hall fell silent.

Emperor Yuan Yong said coldly: "Shufei, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu's head was rumbling and dizzy, as if she had experienced a journey from heaven to hell.
