Zhennan Prince's Mansion
Upon receiving her sister's plea for help, Princess Qing immediately took her daughter back to the capital. She was furious: "Jiahua's temper hasn't changed at all; he's so unforgiving."
"It's not just being ruthless, it's completely disregarding the Zhennan Prince's Mansion." The Zhennan Prince's wife was furious. She had always loved to excel when she was young, and even at this age, she was still like this.
Princess Qing raised her eyelids slightly and sneered, "Only someone would covet that broken body. If I were her, I would have killed myself long ago."
The two sisters smiled at each other.
"Fine, it's better to annul the engagement." Princess Qing picked up her tea and took a couple of sips with a smile. She slowly put the tea down, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. She said lightly, "As for that Song Yao, it's not impossible for her to insist on entering the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. You also have unmarried daughters born out of wedlock. Just take them in. Why let people outside gossip about you?"
The Princess Consort of Zhennan, enlightened by the suggestion, suddenly understood: "Elder sister is absolutely right, how come I didn't think of that?"
"You've lost your mind because you're so angry," Princess Consort Qing sighed softly. "When the Emperor first ascended the throne, he favored military affairs over civil service, which offended many people. Now he's repented and is vigorously developing the imperial examination system. He's promoted so many civil officials these days, and I've heard he often visits the inner palace. If things continue like this..."
Princess Qing frowned, a hint of irritation in her eyes: "Why did you suddenly have such a change of heart?"
According to the original plan, the Northern Chu Emperor would eventually launch a major war, which would leave the capital city empty.
.
The Northern Chu Emperor even sent messengers to Prince Qing three times, asking him to come to the capital to guard the city. Wasn't this a way of implying that Prince Qing would oversee the country in the future?
The Prince Qing's mansion had been waiting for this day.
Now that the offensive plan has been cancelled and the Northern Chu Emperor remains unmoved, how can Prince Qing not be anxious?
Princess Zhennan quickly offered some words of advice: "His Majesty has no sons, so his throne will be unstable sooner or later. Let's be patient and wait a little longer."
No sooner had he finished speaking than cries and screams came from outside.
Princess Qing's eyelids suddenly twitched: "It sounds like... it's Longqing's voice."
Immediately afterward, a maid entered and said, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The county princess is injured."
Upon hearing this, Princess Qing could no longer remain seated. She quickly got up and went forward to investigate, and sure enough, she saw several maids helping her beloved daughter, Longqing, into the room.
Longqing was seen covering his face with his hands, his clothes stained with blood. Princess Qing was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. She said angrily, "He was fine just now, how did he become like this?"
"Mother, it's Song Yue! She hit my daughter! You must stand up for me and stand up for me!" Princess Longqing wanted nothing more than to tear Song Yue apart.
Upon hearing that it was Song Yue who did it, Princess Zhennan's eyelids twitched even more violently. She quickly said, "Let's go inside first and find a royal physician to take a look. Treating the injury is the most important thing."
Soon the imperial physician arrived. After glancing at the injuries on Princess Longqing's face, he sighed and shook his head. Princess Qing angrily asked, "What exactly happened?"
“Princess Qing, the county princess’s scars are so deep that the bone is visible, they will surely leave a scar.”
Upon hearing that she would be left with a scar, Princess Longqing nearly fainted from crying. She broke down and cried out to Princess Qing, "Mother, I want to kill Song Yue!"
Princess Qing was also furious: "How dare she hurt you like this! It's outrageous!"
After settling Princess Longqing in, Princess Qing immediately went to confront Song Yue. Princess Zhennan looked guilty and said, "If I hadn't called you here, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Eldest sister, I'll go with you to seek justice."
Princess Qing held her breath and gritted her teeth: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Today I will make this wretch pay with her life."
"Elder sister!" Princess Zhennan said with difficulty, "Song Yue is Jia Hua's darling, she will definitely stop him."
"So what? She injured someone like this and she still thinks she's right. We have to give her face and call her a princess. If we don't, she's just a worn-out shoe to be played with." Princess Qing was furious. Without saying another word, she led her guards and stormed off to the Duke of Jing's mansion.
...
Prince Jing's Mansion
Song Yue and Song Huan ran all the way back to the manor. The steward saw them from afar and quickly went to greet them. Song Yue said...
"Go and fetch the imperial physician!"
"yes."
Song Huan looked aggrieved: "Third sister, who was that person? Why did they hit you for no reason? There's so much blood on your face."
Song Yue cursed her bad luck, but still tried to comfort Song Huan with a smile: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all."
"You're lying, you've lost so much blood."
Song Yue shook her head, and seeing Yun Dong, quickly asked, "Is Mother at home?"
Yun Dong said, "The princess was invited by Madam Jiang to visit someone this morning."
"Send someone to deliver a message to Mother immediately, asking her to return as soon as possible." Song Yue's eyelids twitched; she had a bad feeling about this.
She led Song Huan toward Yuehua Pavilion, and on the way they met Shen Ruyun, who was startled by their appearance: "Why is there so much blood?"
Song Huan said, "It's because I ran into a madman on the street."
Shen Ruyun quickly sent the two to Yuehua Pavilion and asked someone to fetch a doctor. When she saw the shocking scars on Song Yue's face, she guessed that they would definitely leave scars.
Just as the two returned to Yuehua Pavilion, the steward rushed over to report that Princess Qing and Princess Zhennan had arrived with many guards, saying they were looking for Song Yue.
Shen Ruyun then learned that Song Yue had injured Princess Longqing in the street, and judging from the situation, the other party was probably more seriously injured than Song Yue.
"Send people to block the entrance and prevent anyone from entering Yuehua Pavilion. Also, send someone to deliver a message to Mother, asking her to return as soon as possible," Shen Ruyun said.
The butler nodded.
Princess Qing and Princess Zhennan stormed in and headed straight for Yuehua Pavilion. When the two arrived at the Duke of Jingguo's mansion, the Grand Madam had already received the news. Clutching her Buddhist prayer beads, she sighed, "What a tragedy."
She had no choice but to go out and see what was going on.
Yuan Fuling, Song Yao, and Song Hengchuan also received the news at the same time, and the three of them happened to be together.
Upon hearing this, Song Yao burst into tears: "Why does Song Yue have to go against the Zhennan Prince's Mansion? By doing this, won't I be unable to enter the Zhennan Prince's Mansion for the rest of my life?"
Yuan Fuling was equally angry, cursing Song Yue for being a troublemaker. She turned to the maid and asked, "How is Princess Longqing's injury?"
"I heard that she was disfigured, and Princess Qing came to our door with a sword in hand."
Yuan Fuling asked in surprise, "Is it that serious?"
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.
The maid then looked at Song Hengchuan: "The Third Miss and the Fourth Miss are hiding in Yuehua Pavilion. The Eldest Young Mistress is also in Yuehua Pavilion, and she has ordered people to block the entrance so that no one is allowed to enter."
Song Hengchuan didn't want to get involved, but when he heard that Shen Ruyun had also gotten involved, he couldn't sit still any longer and got up to leave.
Yuan Fuling quickly instructed her maid to keep an eye out for any news.
By this time, Yuehua Pavilion had already been surrounded.
Shen Ruyun's eyelids twitched, and she nervously clutched a handkerchief in her hand, hoping that Princess Jiahua would return soon. Meanwhile, after Song Yue finished treating her wounds, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "It was clearly Longqing who injured someone first, so why should I be afraid of her?"
Shen Ruyun stopped him, saying, "You are a junior. There are many people outside. You will definitely suffer if you go out. Be patient and wait for a while."
As long as Princess Jia Hua returns, everything will be fine.
She was extremely anxious, but the person still hadn't returned.
