Qin Ye captured Wu Nu and his men were not polite at all.
She is the mistress of this palace. Provoking her on her territory is tantamount to seeking death.
Yue'er stood by and watched coldly.
A woman seeking death!
Xiao Zhihua was so arrogant in the past, but now when she meets the princess, she has to keep her tail between her legs and behave herself obediently. Who does this woman think she is?
Provoking the princess under the prince's nose, how is this different from digging your own grave?
When the prince comes out, he will definitely punish her severely!
The two of them started quarreling, and the sound of their quarrel and screaming spread, attracting the attention of many passing servants. When the quarrel was getting intense, a man's voice interrupted:
"stop."
Zong Zhengchen came out from the study.
Wu Nu took the opportunity to break free, angrily pulling at her messy and disheveled hair, walked up to the man, and questioned through gritted teeth:
"Is this the way the Chen Palace entertains guests?!"
Yue Er immediately complained:
"Your Highness, she was the one who spoke rudely and contradicted the princess. She even knocked the princess down on purpose just now. That's why the princess taught her a lesson!"
Zong Zhengchen pursed his lips and looked at the two of them.
The two argued, and it was obvious that Qin Ye was the better one.
There were slap marks on Wu Nu's face, his cheeks were red, his clothes were messy, and he looked embarrassed; Qin Ye was clean and tidy, and even his breathing was steady.
He stepped forward and took her hand, "Are you okay?"
She spread out her palms, which were red from hitting someone.
Qin Ye shook his head.
"I'm glad you're okay." He held her little hand and led her into the house. "It's cold outside. Don't go out too often. Be careful not to catch a cold."
When I entered the house, there was a roaring fire burning, which made it much warmer.
However, Qin Ye's eyes sank slightly at this moment...
She had a quarrel with that woman, and Zong Zhengchen seemed to be on her side, but he did not hold that woman accountable.
He is protecting that woman.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" he asked. "There have been a lot of things going on lately. The Crown Prince's matter has brought a lot of fluctuations. Many things need me to handle personally."
Qin Ye lowered his eyes and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He no longer had any thoughts in his mind.
"fine."
She said in a cold tone, "I just came to remind you to take a rest and not to overwork yourself. You are still injured."
Hearing this, the man chuckled, rubbed her little head, sat with her for a while, and then continued to do his work.
In recent days, he seems to be so busy that he can't be seen except at meal times.
As soon as he left, Yue'er ran in:
"princess!"
She closed the door, rushed to the stove, squatted down, held Qin Ye's knees, and looked up and said:
"Why do I feel something is wrong? That woman bullied you, why didn't the prince punish her? In the past, when Xiao Zhihua talked back to you, the prince was very angry."
Qin Ye lowered his eyes.
Look, even Yue'er noticed the problem, but Zong Zhengchen didn't.
Was she overthinking, or was Zong Zhengchen hiding something?
She didn't want to think about it anymore, and she was too lazy to think about it, "It's almost dark, and I haven't seen Yunying yet?"
She changed the subject.
Yue Er scratched her head, looking suspicious, "Is it true that you didn't see it?"
"That girl is very lively. She must have gone out to play somewhere. I will go look for her."
A corner of the palace.
A quiet and deserted place.
Wu Nu stroked the wound on his face, looked at the cold and arrogant man with resentful eyes, and said unhappily:
"I need to use ten years of my life to make this forbidden drug. Shouldn't Prince Chen coax me? Please me? And he even lets his princess beat me?"
Zong Zhengchen glanced at her coldly:
"If it weren't for the fact that you were still useful, you would have been beaten to death long ago."
Wu Nu: “…”
