Chapter 315 He Wants to Punish the Traitor
Xuanyue was slightly startled.
Xie Yao continued, "Besides, this marriage was cancelled because of the unremitting efforts of others besides me."
Xuan Yue widened her eyes slightly.
Xie Yao said, "Grand Tutor Xuan submitted a memorial, and now the memorial should have reached the hands of the Third Prince Xiao An."
She just saw it.
Xuan Yue's expression changed slightly!
The content of the memorial that could make the Crown Princess say this... is probably not a good thing!
She already knew that her father had done some irrational things in order to cancel her marriage.
And now it seems that what her father did is more serious than she thought...
"Thank you, Princess, for telling me this." Xuan Yue was a little anxious, "I, your humble servant..."
"Go and get busy." After Xie Yao finished speaking, Xuan Yue retreated with a sense of relief.
She was going to ask the princess for mercy right now, hoping to be able to leave the palace...
"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing looked at Xie Yao with some concern and said, "Miss Xuan, won't you be angry if she knows this?"
After all, the memorial was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Third Prince.
Xie Yao shook her head: "Miss Xuan wouldn't." If she wasn't sure about this, she wouldn't have told Xuan Yue so directly.
At this time, the third prince Xiao An had already rushed to the Xuan family.
Everyone in the Xuan family was happy because Xiao An took the initiative to cancel the engagement. The Third Prince came suddenly, and because of his noble status, he had always had unimpeded access in the Xuan family.
So when he entered the room, he saw Master Xuan talking about this matter.
"Madam, are you relieved now? I told you long ago that this marriage will not happen! I will never let our daughter marry someone like that..."
Xiao An froze in place.
He couldn't believe what he heard. The document in his hand became extremely hot, as if it was cutting his heart inch by inch.
Master Xuan's voice was still ringing out, "Now that the marriage is cancelled, our Yue'er can marry freely. Madam, you must take good care of yourself and choose a husband with noble character for our two daughters..."
Xiao An clenched the letter in his hand until it was torn. The sharp tip pierced Xiao An's hand, and the sound of it breaking was heard in the hall.
"Who?!" Master Xuan's voice came, "Who's outside?!"
When Master Xuan saw clearly who was standing outside the door, his expression froze. He could naturally see that the Third Prince had an extremely ugly expression at the moment, and he didn't know how much he had just heard.
Tick.
Master Xuan lowered his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice——
Only then did he see that Xiao An's hand was injured, with blood dripping onto the ground, and in his hand... he was still holding a shattered memorial.
Master Xuan's expression turned ugly in an instant, his lips trembled for a long time, and he didn't know what to say.
"Third Prince!" Madam Xuan saw that Grand Tutor Xuan had not spoken for a long time, so she walked out and shouted.
The Third Prince didn't even look at Madam Xuan, nor did he even glance at her. He only stared at Tutor Xuan, his eyes red and with violence rising in them.
Mrs. Xuan's expression froze on her face, and she looked a little embarrassed when she thought about what had just happened.
Master Xuan took a deep breath and said to Madam Xuan, "Madam, you go down first."
"I'm talking to the Third Prince."
Madam Xuan looked at Master Xuan with some worry. After meeting his unquestionable gaze, she walked away, looking back every three steps.
"Why."
It took a long time for the third prince to squeeze these words out of his throat.
He stared at Master Xuan intently, not wanting to miss any change in expression on his face.
The third prince...I'm afraid he heard it all.
Master Xuan made a prompt decision and knelt down directly, "It's all my fault. Your Highness, blame me if you want to."
Don't involve his family.
This is what Master Xuan meant.
Xiao An, who used to trust Master Xuan unconditionally, was now particularly perceptive. He understood what Master Xuan meant and sneered.
"Why."
Xiao An's voice sounded again. He obviously had no real intention of asking, he was just simply repeating this sentence.
Master Xuan paused and said, "Your Highness, you are injured. Bandage it first."
Xiao An was silent.
Upon seeing this, Master Xuan was about to step forward, but just as he reached Xiao An...
He was kicked away by Xiao An!
Master Xuan fell to the ground in a mess. The next second, his collar was grabbed. Xiao An's eyes were bloodshot and he looked at Master Xuan viciously, "Why!"
Why, it’s him!
Master Xuan’s face was pale, with a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He just looked at Xiao An.
That look... was like looking at a willful and ignorant child.
Such a look made Xiao An even more violent. He gripped Master Xuan's collar even harder, wishing he could just crush him to death!
"Father!"
Just then, footsteps were heard and Xuan Yue's voice was heard. She walked in quickly and her eyes turned red when she saw Master Xuan's appearance.
Xuan Yue knelt down beside the two of them and said, "Please forgive my father, Your Highness."
However, Master Xuan, who had originally had a calm expression, immediately changed his expression when he saw Xuan Yue coming.
"Yuer, why are you here?!"
Both people present could hear the anxiety and worry in his voice.
"This is my choice. Yue'er knows nothing about it. She..." Before Master Xuan could finish his words, the Third Prince released his hand that was holding Master Xuan's collar.
In the face of Master Xuan's rejecting look, he grabbed Xuan Yue's hand!
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Master Xuan said immediately, "It's my fault, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Yue'er, please let her go!"
As Master Xuan pleaded, Xiao An's eyes turned even crazier, "It has nothing to do with her?"
How come it’s irrelevant?
If it wasn't for this woman, why would the Master treat him like that? !
This thought flashed through Xiao An's mind, and murderous intent flashed in Xiao An's eyes as he looked at Xuan Yue!
He grabbed Xuan Yue's neck and kept exerting force, as if he wanted to break the delicate neck in his palm!
Kill her!
As long as she is killed, everything will be fine...
"Your Highness, Third Prince!" Master Xuan immediately reached out to grab Xiao An's hand, wanting to save Xuan Yue.
But it was true that he was sick some time ago, and he was kicked by Xiao An just now. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be saved now.
His face turned red with anxiety, and he finally roared, "Xiao An!"
Xiao An froze, and the hand that was strangling Xuan Yue's neck was finally pulled away by Master Xuan.
There were clear fingerprints on Xuan Yue's fair neck, which looked extremely scary.
She hadn't resisted.
If this could calm the Third Prince's anger, she would be willing to pay the price for it.
But Xiao An's eyes were no longer on her. He was staring at Master Xuan, and the murderous intent in his eyes had not yet subsided.
Master Xuan was startled when he was looked at.
Xiao An just now... really wanted to kill Yue'er!
If that's the case, why would he bother planning all this? His daughter still has a bright future...
"Your Highness, if you are angry, please come to me." Master Xuan said, "As long as I can calm you down, I can do anything."
Xiao An looked at Master Xuan for a long time and said in a low voice, "You can do anything?"
"Father..." Xuan Yue's hoarse voice sounded, but Master Xuan's firm voice interrupted her faster, "Yes! I can do anything!"
He cannot protect Yue'er for a lifetime, but Xiao An is still young. Even if Xiao An becomes just an idle prince in the future, it will be easy for him to take revenge.
He can't gamble.
Besides, he was able to use Xiao An last time because he knew that his position in Xiao An's heart was different.
Xiao An...at least he won't take his life.
"Okay." Xiao An's voice sounded, "Follow me."
Don't you want to make amends?
Then follow him back to the Third Prince's Palace...
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After Xie Yao and Xuan Yue parted ways, they went to the Yangxin Palace.
Xiao Ji had just seen Xiao An off, and his originally ugly expression instantly brightened when he saw Xie Yao.
He stepped forward, "Crown Princess."
He had made rapid progress in the past few days, so when facing Xie Yao, he could almost ignore the pain in his heart.
The premise is that the two people do not have any intimate behavior.
"Your Highness." Xie Yao spoke softly, her eyebrows curved, "Your Highness made a move and the engagement was indeed cancelled."
"Your Highness saved three innocent women. This is truly admirable."
Xiao Ji: “…”
Hearing Xie Yao's words and being looked at by her... Xiao Ji felt his cheeks and ears getting hot.
"Ahem." He coughed lightly, "Crown Princess, thank you for the compliment."
Xie Yao added, "I ran into the Third Prince when I came here just now." When mentioning Xiao An, Xie Yao thought of the way Xiao An looked at her just now...
It's just a little bit weird.
Xiao Ji frowned imperceptibly, "Crown Princess, stay away from him."
He felt that Xiao An was... stinky.
"Okay." Xie Yao nodded and said to Xiao Ji, "Then Your Highness should also stay away from him."
Xie Yao talked about Xuan Yue again. Xiao Ji naturally had no opinion on what Xie Yao did.
As soon as the two of them finished talking, Si Nan walked in and reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, there is news from outside the palace that the Third Prince has returned to the Third Prince's Mansion."
"He is accompanied by Master Xuan."
The third prince was originally under house arrest, but was granted a brief period of freedom because of the cancellation of the engagement today.
Xiao Ji already disliked Master Xuan, so after giving the memorial to the Third Prince, he did not immediately let Xiao An return to the Third Prince's Mansion.
After all, the third prince has made a sacrifice, so he should be given some sweet rewards.
"Miss Xuan's neck was slightly injured, and Master Xuan looked a little pale and seemed to have vomited blood, but both of them are safe."
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope no one was killed.
but……
Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Does he want to take Master Xuan back and torture him slowly?"
Xiao Ji shook his head, "Not necessarily. Xiao An treats Master Xuan very differently."
Yeah?
Although Xie Yao didn't know what was different, she chose to believe His Highness.
Apart from the matters concerning the Third Prince's Mansion, Xie Yao also wanted to discuss with Xiao Ji the issue of raising money.
As a noble family, the Wang family took the lead in donating money, and other noble families were not immune.
Moreover, she was able to transfer the resentment of those aristocratic families to the Wang family, and Xie Yao did it without any guilt.
But it’s still not enough…
At this time, Xuan Yue returned to the palace in a distracted state. She was originally beside the eldest princess, asking for forgiveness for Xuan Shu's crime. She left the palace today specifically to ask the eldest princess for mercy.
After Master Xuan was taken away by the Third Prince, she comforted her mother and sister, then dragged her tired body back to Fengming Palace.
Fengming Palace.
Xuan Yue deliberately changed into a dress with a high neckline, and applied medicine and powder to the wound on her neck, but it was still inevitable that it would be noticed once it was rubbed off.
"How are you hurt?" The eldest princess raised her eyes from the book in her hand, glanced at Xuan Yue, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of imperceptible concern in her majestic voice.
The eldest princess originally didn't like the girl from the Xuan family because of Xuan Shu's matter.
But after spending these few days with Xuan Yue, I have a good impression of her.
Xuan Yue immediately lowered her head and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I was hurt... accidentally."
How could the princess believe it?
She could tell at a glance that Xuan Yue's injury was not right. She paused and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that new green chrysanthemums have arrived. Go pick two pots for me."
Naturally, someone would do the work. Xuan Yue picked out two pots and asked the palace servants to bring them back.
"Yes." Xuan Yue agreed immediately, then turned and left.
Looking at her back, the eldest princess shook her head slightly, then gave Suqin a look, and Suqin nodded slightly and left.
Not long after, Suqin came back and whispered what happened in the Xuan family today.
The eldest princess frowned as she listened, her tone full of displeasure, "The third brother is too unruly!"
She really didn't know how the emperor raised his children!
A bunch of bad bamboo shoots.
Suqin naturally did not dare to agree or comment casually when the princess said this, and could only stand aside with her eyes lowered.
The princess sighed and said, "Tell someone to keep an eye on Master Xuan and don't let the third son do anything stupid."
Suqin immediately said: "The princess is kind-hearted. If Miss Xuan knew about this, she would definitely be very touched..."
The princess shook her head, "You don't need to tell her about this."
After leaving Fengming Palace, Xuan Yue headed towards the direction of the Imperial Household Department. She had been in the palace for some time, so she naturally knew where the Imperial Household Department was.
Xuan Yue quickly picked out the green chrysanthemums. She looked at the palace maids and said, "You go back to Fengming Palace first. I will be there soon."
She understood what the eldest princess meant. She wanted her to come out so that she could relax.
She accepted the kindness and only left a little palace maid to follow her from a distance.
Xuan Yue was wandering aimlessly in the palace. As he was walking, he suddenly heard a "plop" sound!
It was the sound of something falling into the water.
Xuan Yue was startled, and immediately regained his senses, looking in the direction of the sound.
Not far away at the lake, a eunuch dressed in palace clothes was leaving quickly, and there was a small shadow struggling on the lake.
"Miss Xuan!" The palace maid was also shocked. She didn't expect to encounter such a scene.
Xuan Yue gritted her teeth and said immediately: "Go and call someone to report this to the princess. I will go and rescue them!"
"Miss Xuan..."
The maid hesitated for a moment, and Xuan Yue immediately glared at her, "Go!"
The maid bent her knees and immediately turned and left.
Xuan Yue quickly walked towards the direction where the person fell into the water. When she arrived, the figure had almost sunk...
thump!
Xuan Yue jumped down without saying a word.
Xuanyue will be water.
She dived down and quickly found the person who fell into the water. She caught him in her hand, and Xuan Yue was finally able to confirm his identity.
The fifth prince!
He was not very old and was already unconscious. Xuan Yue hugged him tightly and swam towards the shore.
Xuan Yue pulled the fifth prince ashore, only to see that the fifth prince's face was pale and blue.
Xuan Yue's heart tightened, and he began to press the Fifth Prince's chest according to the posture he had learned before.
When the eldest princess and her men arrived, the fifth prince was tilting his head and spitting out the water he had drunk!
The eldest princess was also a little stunned when she saw the identity of the person saved by Xuan Yue. She gave Suqin a look.
Suqin immediately stepped forward and wrapped thick cloaks around Xuan Yue and the fifth prince.
"Quickly inform Consort Shu and the Crown Prince." The Princess ordered, "The Crown Princess is also in the palace, call her here as well."
When something as big as this happens, naturally everyone needs to know about it.
The princess heard from the palace maid that someone had fallen into the water, so she brought the imperial physician with her. At this moment, she held Xuan Yue's hand and stood up, "This matter is all thanks to you. Let the imperial physician take a look at Xiao Wu first. Go change your clothes first, so as not to catch a cold."
Xuan Yue shook her head slightly, her face was pale, her black hair was wet and scattered, her eyelashes were wet, and her eyes were slightly red. "I dare not take credit for it, as long as the Fifth Prince is safe."
