Chapter 15: Kill the mistress?
Facing the imperial concubine's inquiring gaze, Xie Yao sat obediently, with a pure look, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
The imperial concubine retracted her gaze and said, "Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's Mansion didn't have a mistress before, so many things were inconvenient to arrange."
"Now that you are the Crown Princess, you should be more generous and take the initiative to arrange for servants to serve the Crown Prince."
"I have prepared a few specially for you. You can take them back to the Prince's Mansion when you leave the palace later."
The imperial concubine was not discussing with Xie Yao, she was giving an order.
Xie Yao looked embarrassed. "Your Highness, your intention is good, and I shouldn't have rejected it. But the husband is the leader of the wife. Without Your Highness's consent, how dare I be the master of Your Highness?"
The imperial concubine's face darkened. The person who had a gentle temperament just now suddenly became a little scary. "So, the Crown Princess is going to disobey orders?"
Xie Yao did not hesitate and knelt down directly, "I am in a dilemma, so I can only kneel down and punish myself."
Xie Yao spoke with great force and righteousness!
The imperial concubine's expression became more and more ugly. What a good move of retreating to advance!
The Crown Prince was not her son, and the Crown Princess was the future queen mother, so there was no need for her to kneel before the Imperial Concubine.
If today's events were to spread, wouldn't it be considered that she, as a royal concubine, was arrogant and domineering, and didn't even care about the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?
It is one thing for her to think so, but it is another thing to put it on the table. Besides, there are many people in the harem who are watching her.
She took a deep breath and said, "Princess, please get up quickly. I have not thought this through."
Xie Yao took Qiao as an example.
The imperial concubine stood up and came forward to help her, and she finally stood up "reluctantly". "Thank you for your understanding."
The imperial concubine saw clearly that Xie Yao was not easy to control, but she was helpless for the moment, so she simply waved her hand and said, "It's getting late, I need to rest."
Xie Yao tactfully took her leave.
As soon as she left Weiyang Palace, Xiao Ning's voice came from behind her, "Stop!"
Xie Yao looked at the sparkling water in front of Weiyang Palace, and walked a few more steps until she stopped on the bridge over the lake. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Ning with a smile, "Princess, is there anything else?"
She moved her lips and said a few words silently to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward to approach Xie Yao, "What did you say...ah!"
Before Xiao Ning finished speaking, she lost her balance and fell towards the lake in front of Weiyang Palace.
thump!
Xiao Ning fell directly into the lake, splashing huge water!
"Oh no! The princess fell into the water!"
In an instant, there was chaos all around, but before anyone could react, another plop sounded.
"Oh no! The Crown Princess has also fallen into the water!"
Xie Yao can swim, but she knows Xiao Ning can't.
She knew many secrets of Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo, the couple. Who made them like to chat afterwards?
Not carrying her on her back.
After Xie Yao fell into the water, she swam directly towards Xiao Ning, and then intentionally or unintentionally took Xiao Ning farther away so that the people who came to rescue them would not arrive as quickly.
Then, she grabbed Xiao Ning's head and pushed her into the water.
This is not revenge.
Just charge some interest.
Xie Yao heard the rescuers approaching and Xiao Ning had already fainted. If he continued to drown, he would probably die, so she let go.
As she let go of Xiao Ning, she sank to the bottom of the lake...
…
"The Crown Princess is awake!"
As soon as Xie Yao woke up, she heard Zhu Xin's crying voice. She looked up -
I saw Xiao Ji, dressed in a crimson purple brocade robe, standing in front of the bed.
"Your Highness?"
Xie Yao was a little surprised. She didn't expect the prince to come.
Xiao Ji's cold eyes fell on Xie Yao. Her long black hair was draped softly behind her head. Because of drowning, the dark eyes on her pale face became even darker and brighter, and the slightly drooping corners of her eyes made her look extremely innocent.
Thinking of Xie Yao's weak and unconscious appearance just now, he suddenly felt angry for no reason.
This palace...
"I'm here to take you back home. Please change your clothes first."
Xiao Ji had a lot on his mind but didn't show it on his face. He spoke briefly and turned to walk out.
Zhu Xin and Zhu Qing were busy helping Xie Yao change her clothes. "Crown Princess, I heard that Princess He Yi is still unconscious, and the Imperial Concubine is furious..."
"But everyone saw you risking your life to save Princess Heyi."
Xie Yao hummed, "Are you all right?"
The two shook their heads at the same time. "The Imperial Concubine originally wanted to punish us servants for failing to take good care of the place. Fortunately, the Crown Prince arrived in time and saved us for your sake."
Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful in her heart, "Your Highness is kind-hearted."
She changed into a goose yellow palace dress, which made her skin look even whiter.
Xie Yao had never been to the palace, so the clothes she found temporarily were obviously not suitable. After all, her "figure" was rare.
As soon as she left the hall, Xiao Ji frowned.
Xie Yao knelt down again and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness."
He saw her unusually bulging chest and caught a glimpse of her slender waist that was too slender to be grasped.
He took off his cloak in silence and threw it to Zhu Qing, "Put it on the Crown Princess."
Xie Yao's face turned red, as if blood would drip out, and she obediently gathered her cloak and said, "I, I... I don't have any other clothes."
Xie Yao was ready to go to Weiyang Palace to explain to the Imperial Concubine or His Majesty.
She did this in full view of everyone, making sure no one saw her quickly extend and retract her foot.
But unexpectedly, there was nothing.
Xiao Ji led her directly out of the palace.
When sitting in the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Yao was still a little overwhelmed.
Weiyang Palace.
Bang!
After sending the emperor away, the imperial concubine's expression became distorted with anger. She said in a cold voice, "Leaving the palace?"
"Yes, yes." The palace maid knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise her head.
The imperial concubine sneered, "He is so arrogant!"
At this moment, a palace maid hurried out from the inner room, "Your Majesty, the princess has woken up."
The originally oppressive atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed a lot.
The imperial concubine stood up and walked into the inner hall, and she heard Xiao Ning's weak voice, "Mother, it was that bitch who harmed me!"
She can't remember clearly, but that doesn't stop her from blaming everything on that bitch!
The imperial concubine asked gently, "Ning'er, are you sure?"
"Everyone saw that after you accidentally fell into the water, she immediately jumped in to save you."
"Save me?" Xiao Ning's teeth were still trembling slightly when she mentioned this, and a fierce hatred flashed in her eyes, "She clearly wants to kill me!"
"Mother, does she know something? And the prince..." Xiao Ning thought of something and asked hurriedly.
"Ning'er!" The imperial concubine's voice was cold and contained a hint of warning.
Xiao Ning suddenly reacted and shut up.
"Everyone, get out." With a command from the imperial concubine, the imperial physician and all the servants in the palace were led out by the head aunt of Weiyang Palace.
"Ning'er." The imperial concubine then looked at Xiao Ning, "Whether she knows it or not, since she dared to attack you, mother will not let her go."
