Su Chenyu and the Imperial Concubine continued to walk forward, ignoring Xiang Guipin. Xiang Guipin thought they were afraid of her, so she continued, "My Lord, are you still in the mood to continue appreciating the flowers?"
Su Chenyu stopped and looked at Xianglan: "What do you mean?"
"Duke Fengyi and Prince Consort Baili were sent to Xixia as envoys this time. Lian Shizhao was injured and became like that. Doesn't Duke Fengyi feel guilty towards the Lian family?"
After Xianglan finished saying this, Su Chenyu immediately walked up to her. She didn't bring any followers today, so she had to do it herself.
Su Chenyu slapped Xianglan on the face. Xianglan was angry. When she wanted to say something, Su Chenyu slapped her six times again. She even used her internal force. After a few slaps, Xianglan couldn't stand it anymore. She knelt on the ground with her cheeks swollen like a pig's head. There was no trace of her previous beauty at all.
Xianglan was so painful that she couldn't speak. Yuanzhi stepped forward to stop Su Chenyu and asked, "Why did Gongfu attack Xianglan without permission?"
Su Chenyu's face changed instantly: "She is just a concubine, yet she dares to act so presumptuously in front of me and the Imperial Noble Consort. Does she really think that she can do whatever the law requires because of my father's favor? She speaks without restraint in front of the Imperial Noble Consort and even dares to say that only my mother is worthy of me. This is an act of usurpation and rebellion. Even if I want to execute her, who dares to say a word?
As for the matter of Lian Shizhao, you are a concubine, are you qualified to question me? Why should I feel guilty towards the Lian family? Lian Shizhao himself is not good at riding, so is it possible that I and my husband have to suffer the same fate as him to be worthy of him?"
Yuanzhi originally just wanted Xianglan to test Su Chenyu. She had seen Su Chenyu being gentle all along and thought she was someone who was easy to control. She didn't expect that she would be so arrogant when she got angry.
"Noble Concubine Yuan, no matter how good the relationship between your brother, Marquis Wuling, and the Lian family is, I will not allow anyone to come to me and ask for justice for Lian Shizhao.
Being an envoy for the country was his duty as a minister of Dayu. Lord Jian was trapped in Xixia for so many years before returning, and he never complained. Even Shi Zhao was so injured that he was brought back alive, which was his great fortune. "
Su Chenyu looked at Xianglan beside her, her eyes full of indifference, "I have returned safely from my mission to Xixia, which is a good thing for Dayu. But Xiang Guipin is dissatisfied with my return, which chills not only my heart, but also the hearts of all the envoys.
Come, take Concubine Xiang to the Ministry of Punishment and investigate her thoroughly to see if she is a spy from somewhere."
Hearing this, Yuanzhi immediately knelt down in front of Su Chenyu: "My Lord, please forgive Xianglan this time. She has always been quick-witted and has absolutely no bad intentions. I hope my Lord will be magnanimous..."
Before Yuanzhi could finish her words, Su Chenyu reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head.
Su Chenyu's eyes were deep, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be tinged with coldness: "Noble Concubine Yuan, don't you like to test others by pretending to be smart? I will tell you today that there are some people you can't get close to."
Hearing this, Yuan Zhi was startled. She felt something was wrong. Suddenly, Su Chenyu's voice rang in her ears again: "Xiang Guipin is Yuan Guipin's sister. I suspect they are both spies. Take Yuan Guipin to the Ministry of Punishment and treat her well."
After hearing Su Chenyu's order, a palace servant immediately stepped forward to take the two away. At this moment, Emperor Wei Jing's voice rang out: "What are you doing?"
Seeing Emperor Jing of Wei coming, everyone knelt down to pay their respects. This made Su Chenyu, who had been standing there, look out of place.
Emperor Jing of Wei frowned and looked at Su Chenyu: "Feng Yi, you made such a mess in the harem as soon as you came back, can you please let me have some peace of mind?"
