"Princess, you haven't returned to the palace yet." The maid beside Princess Mingyue reminded her.
But Princess Mingyue had already reached the door of the carriage, and if the driver didn't stop, she would jump out.
The coachman was anxious and quickly stopped the speeding carriage.
The carriages behind also stopped and there was a lot of cursing.
But Princess Mingyue didn't care about anything else and she ran hurriedly to Wu Mingde.
"Wu Mingde!"
Wu Mingde was stunned for a moment, then looked at Princess Mingyue and said, "Princess Mingyue."
"Princess, are you okay?" Princess Mingyue's maid rushed to her side and said worriedly.
Princess Mingyue got off the car in a hurry and stumbled and almost fell.
Princess Mingyue waved her hand, her eyes fixed on Wu Mingde, unwilling to look away.
"I just saw your wife." Princess Mingyue said.
Wu Mingde's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Princess Mingyue nervously and said, "Princess, what are you doing to her?"
Princess Mingyue smiled weakly, her mouth full of bitterness: "Do you think I would attack her? I disdain to fight with her."
She's just a woman, she wouldn't do that.
Wu Mingde heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good."
Wu Mingde's relieved expression was extremely glaring in Princess Mingyue's eyes. Her heart felt as if someone had stabbed her hard, and the pain made her almost cry.
"Princess, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Wu Mingde said.
He was worried when Shao Yan went out with a big belly, but he thought that everything would be fine with Xie Yunjiao taking care of her at Qinyuanfang.
Who would have thought that she would actually meet Princess Mingyue.
"Is she so important to you?" Princess Mingyue asked, tears welling in her eyes.
Others felt pity for Princess Mingyue when they saw her like this, but Wu Mingde didn't even blink.
He said, "It's important, very important. She is my first wife, and I swore to protect her for the rest of my life since we were young."
Princess Mingyue stared at Wu Mingde in amazement. What had he said? That woman was the one he had sworn to protect since childhood?
Wouldn't that mean she had lost completely?
"What if you met me first? Would you..." Princess Mingyue looked at Wu Mingde expectantly.
Although Xie Yunjiao had explained it to her once and she knew the truth, she was unwilling to accept it.
She thought that as long as there was a little chance, she would grab it.
Wu Mingde also saw the expectation in Princess Mingyue's eyes, but he still said, "There are no ifs in this world."
"Why don't you even want to lie to me?" Princess Mingyue's tears fell out bit by bit like crystal.
Wu Mingde gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, it's best not to indulge in things that have no results."
After saying this, Wu Mingde left in a hurry.
Princess Mingyue's maid hurriedly protected Princess Mingyue, covering her face with her sleeves and leading her towards the carriage.
However, the emperor soon learned that Princess Mingyue was bullied by Wu Mingde and cried in the street.
"I originally wanted to get rid of Wu Mingde, but Mingyue stopped me, so he was able to save his life. Now, he dares to bully my precious daughter like this.
Are you pretending I don't exist?" the emperor said angrily.
Suddenly, a delicate hand appeared before the emperor. Lian Yiyi said to him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Wu Mingde is just a nobody. Killing him is easier than crushing an ant."
The emperor curled his lips, took the tea handed to him by Lian Yiyi, drank it all, and smiled: "You are right."
"This tea tastes good," said the emperor.
Strangely enough, ever since he drank the tea Lian Yiyi made for him, he has been able to sleep very soundly every night and has hardly ever had nightmares.
He couldn't tell whether it was the Imperial Master's tea that worked or Lian Yiyi's tea that was effective.
But to be on the safe side, he drinks both kinds of tea.
"Your Majesty, I made this tea myself when I was free at Jingxin Temple praying for my family. I didn't sleep well during that time, but after drinking this tea, I felt much better." Lian Yiyi said.
The emperor's eyes lit up. He hugged Lian Yiyi and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."
Lian Yiyi nestled in the emperor's arms, giggling uncontrollably. She said, "I have many skills."
"Oh? Is it true?" asked the emperor.
"The Emperor will know in the future."
Lian Yiyi and the emperor were being affectionate in the bedroom, and they didn't treat the palace maids and servants serving them as human beings at all.
The queen went to the imperial study to bring tea to the emperor, but learned that the emperor had just gone to Lian Yiyi's bedroom after court and had never returned to the imperial study.
"The emperor didn't return to the imperial study, so how did he review the memorials?" asked the queen.
The palace maid in the imperial study looked at the queen and hesitated.
The Queen slapped the palace maid in the face and shouted, "I asked you to speak, are you mute?"
The palace servant fell to her knees and said to the Queen, "Please spare my life, Queen. The Emperor has sent all the memorials to Concubine Lian's bedroom. He has been reviewing them there these past few days."
"Outrageous!" the Queen flung her sleeves in anger. "This Concubine Lian is truly ignorant. The Emperor is so busy with so many state affairs, and she actually left him in the palace. If this delays things, can she bear the consequences?"
The queen rushed to Lian Yiyi's bedroom. When the emperor heard the palace maid say that the queen had arrived, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
The queen gritted her teeth and walked to the emperor and saluted him.
"Stand up," said the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you've been coming here right after the morning court recently, and you even brought memorials with you. Our ancestors stipulated that women are not allowed to participate in politics.
Lianpin has set a bad example by doing this. If the civil and military officials in the court knew about this, it would damage the emperor's reputation."
"I'm just here to review memorials. Do you have such a big objection?" The emperor finally raised his head and looked at the queen, his eyes full of anger.
The queen took a step back in fear. She seemed to see a flash of murderous intent in the emperor's eyes.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I am the mistress of the harem, and I just want to manage it well so Your Majesty can handle state affairs with peace of mind."
"Empress, I was just doing some small things like pouring tea and serving water for the emperor. It didn't affect the emperor at all." Lian Yiyi said aggrievedly.
"Shut up!" the Queen shouted angrily at Lian Yiyi.
"Queen, please pay attention to your appearance," the emperor said. "You look so ferocious, it's really unsightly."
The queen looked at the emperor with a pale face. She knew that her appearance was not as good as others, but she did not expect the emperor to say it directly.
She wanted to say something else, but the emperor said, "If I can make you the queen, I can also depose you.
You're on your own."
