Chapter 74: Invisibility discovered?
After leaving Wude Hall, Lin Xiaoyue was afraid that someone would find out something was wrong and cause trouble for the eldest princess, so she kept her head down all the way and followed the eldest princess carefully. But as she walked, she found that the eldest princess did not leave the palace, but was on the way to Qinzheng Hall!
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but be amazed. The eldest princess was really brave. When she came, she brought a maid with her, and now there was another maid. Not only did she not hide it, but she also went to see Emperor Liang openly. How strong must her heart be!
But it’s also good this way. The few letters I found from Prince Jingnan’s Mansion have not been sent out yet. Now is the chance!
In fact, Lin Xiaoyue's worries were unnecessary. The eldest princess often sent people into the palace, sometimes to see the emperor, and sometimes to deliver things to the empress dowager. Therefore, everyone in the palace was used to the maids of the eldest princess's mansion coming in and out, and they didn't care whether there were more or less people, and no one had the courage to question it!
Moreover, the atmosphere in the Qinzheng Palace was extremely tense. On his way back, Emperor Liang saw that Prince Jingnan was like a dog-skin plaster, which made him very uncomfortable! He repeatedly hinted to Prince Jingnan to leave the palace first, but Prince Jingnan seemed to have a brain short circuit and just pretended not to understand!
Finally, Emperor Liang could no longer tolerate it. As soon as he entered the Qinzheng Hall, he pointed at Prince Jingnan's nose and cursed, "Prince Jingnan, it's useless for you to follow me. I can't violate the rules established by our ancestors. Otherwise, the royal family would have no reason to exist!"
Prince Jingnan smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Jingyi hasn't woken up yet, and it's really inconvenient for me to stay here, so I can only shamelessly come to Your Majesty to ask for a glass of water."
Emperor Liang snorted twice and only cared about drinking his tea. He did not offer a seat to Prince Jingnan, let alone let the eunuchs serve tea and water.
Prince Jingnan stood there awkwardly for a long time, until Emperor Liang finished his pot of tea. He grabbed the eunuch's newly brought tea, licked his face, and poured it for Emperor Liang. "Your Majesty, this is freshly brewed tea. I smell it, it smells like Longjing. Longjing is precious, but green tea has a cooling nature. Now that it's autumn and winter, I still suggest that Your Majesty drink more Pu'er."
Emperor Liang pushed the teacup forward and frowned, saying, "I've already drunk a whole pot of tea, and you're still adding more water. Do you want me to keep going to the toilet? I'm tired, please leave!"
Prince Jingnan was determined not to back down today, so he ignored the words he didn't want to hear. "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. It's just that Jingyi hasn't woken up yet, and I'm really uneasy sitting at home. I hope Your Majesty can understand!"
Emperor Liang cursed inwardly, "Fuck your forgiveness! You old fox, aren't you just eyeing the position of princess and refusing to let go? Do you really think you're deaf and blind, a tyrant?"
But the bad thing is that Jingyi committed suicide in the Second Prince's bed. If this matter were to be revealed, everyone would think that the Second Prince had done something wrong to Jingyi! This would greatly damage the image of the royal family in the hearts of the people!
The old fox is really good at picking the right time. Maybe Jingyi’s suicide was intentional!
Emperor Liang thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this? I'll send a few more guards with good martial arts skills to carry Jingyi back safely. This way, you don't have to stay in the palace all the time."
Prince Jingnan was definitely unwilling in his heart, but he still said hesitantly: "This... I'm afraid it's not good. Only the dead are carried out. How will Jingyi live in the capital in the future?"
Emperor Liang sneered, "She's done something like that, what else is she afraid of? I've already done her a great favor by not revoking her title of princess. I can't do anything more! Prince Jingnan, you should know when to stop and don't push your luck! Don't dream about things you shouldn't dream about! It's easy to end up with nothing!"
Prince Jingnan knew that Emperor Liang had been jealous of him recently for seizing all of Prince Zhennan's power, but this was also the reason why Emperor Liang was wary and didn't want to confront him head-on, so he believed that as long as he persisted, Emperor Liang would definitely give in!
At worst, once the matter was accomplished, he could give some of his power to the Second Prince. On the surface, this would be similar to giving it to Emperor Liang, but by then the Second Prince would already be his son-in-law. Besides, which adult prince wouldn't want to be emperor? In the end, who he would be close to was anyone's guess!
Just as Prince Jingnan's wishful thinking was coming to fruition, Princess Mingzhu brought Lin Xiaoyue into the Qinzheng Hall.
Princess Mingzhu saw Emperor Liang's sour face and stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Hey, why is Prince Jingnan still in the palace? The imperial physician just said that Jingyi's wound has been bandaged. My people will escort Jingyi out of the palace soon. Prince Jingnan, you can go back without worry!"
Prince Jingnan frowned. Princess Mingzhu was a troublemaker. After her husband died in the battlefield, she didn't grieve for a few days before sending her eldest son to the frontier immediately, under the pretext of training. But who knew that the emperor was reluctant to appoint Princess Mingzhu's eldest son as the crown prince. So the strong-willed Princess Mingzhu wanted her son to earn the title he deserved.
Now that Princess Mingzhu has come in to interfere, Prince Jingnan is starting to get a little worried!
However, he was quite helpless. After respectfully bowing to the princess, he said, "Princess, are you here to see the emperor? I will wait outside so that you don't have any trouble talking."
Princess Mingzhu shouted in a deep voice, "How dare you! Are you deaf? I'm telling you to leave now, don't you understand? Or do you want me to send someone to chase you away?"
Prince Jingnan's face looked very ugly. He knew that Princess Mingzhu never gave face to anyone and spoke directly and mercilessly!
But Lin Xiaoyue who was standing aside secretly cheered in her heart, a woman should be like the eldest princess!
She took advantage of the verbal battle between Prince Jingnan and the eldest princess, quietly walked to a blind spot where no one could see her, and then turned on the space invisibility function. She took a few letters she found in Prince Jingnan's study, walked to Emperor Liang, and stuffed the letters under his wide robe.
Emperor Liang was so focused on the quarrel between Prince Jingnan and the eldest princess that he didn't notice his robe being disturbed. He even moved towards the place where the letter was stuffed.
Lin Xiaoyue stood there for a while, and when she saw that the letter had not fallen and Emperor Liang looked normal, she breathed a sigh of relief.
With these letters, what reason did Emperor Liang have not to raid Prince Jingnan's palace?
Although it was very hateful that Emperor Liang exiled her, if she could use Emperor Liang's help to eliminate Prince Jingnan and Jingyi, she could temporarily put aside the past grudges.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't dare to hide for too long, and soon returned to the blind spot. After exiting the stealth function of the space, she walked back to Princess Mingzhu.
As a result, just as Lin Xiaoyue stood up, she heard a deafening scolding in her ears, "You maid have no manners! This is the Emperor's Qinzheng Palace, not your home. You're walking around, are you stealing? Princess, is this how you train your maids?"
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that her invisibility was discovered?
