Chapter 349: The Secret of Rebirth, It Seems Someone Knows
"Rong Yue!" Princess Ji immediately shouted angrily.
Rong Yue wasn't afraid at all. She stepped forward and pushed Tang Ning, Qian Qiyue, and Xue Ru behind her. "What advice do you have for me, Princess Ji?"
Princess Ji looked at Rong Yue, whose beauty had become even more beautiful than before, and said angrily, "Yan'er is a junior. They were just bickering a few times, how could you slander her so viciously?"
"Your previous divorce from Prince Cheng caused quite a stir in the capital. Instead of staying at home and being so ostentatious, you showed off your lack of womanly virtue. No wonder you raised someone like Song Tangning, who has no manners!"
Rong Yue raised her lips and sneered, "My divorce from Xie Tianyu was granted by His Majesty. Everyone in the capital knows that the criminal is plotting treason. There is no need for me to remain in seclusion for him. Princess Ji actually feels pity for the treasonous man."
"Why, does Prince Ji feel sad for the rabbit's death, or does he feel sympathy for Xie Tianyu?"
The fox mourns the death of the rabbit, and resents Emperor An for his cruelty.
We share the same suffering and feel sorry for each other, as does the criminal Xie Tianyu.
"you!"
Princess Ji's face changed color and she wanted to scold.
Rong Yue didn't give her a chance at all: "Princess Wenqing is over twenty years old. She has killed countless people. My family dares not have such a child. And if I remember correctly, she was stripped of her title of princess and her fiefdom because of her previous murder."
"Princess Ji entered the palace to plead for several days, and the Queen Mother suppressed the matter to save Prince Ji's reputation. Your Majesty, out of filial piety to the Queen Mother and a friendly brother, also turned a blind eye to the matter. But it seems that Prince Ji's Mansion has forgotten about it. Xie Yuyan always calls herself a princess, but she doesn't even show the slightest courtesy when meeting Tang Ning, the imperially bestowed county lady."
“Wow—”
Rong Yue's words were like a splash of cold water into boiling oil, and everyone in front of the main hall was in an uproar.
Princess Wenqing... no, Xie Yuyan, she was actually deprived of her title of princess?
Xie Yuyan's "murder and husband-stealing" incident caused a big uproar. Although she was reprimanded in the palace afterwards, she was only confined to her house for a few months. The palace's decree was not made public. In addition, under the protection of the empress dowager, apart from compensating the victim and letting them know the result, only a few people in the royal family knew that she was no longer a princess.
The Prince Ji's Mansion wanted to save face, so naturally they would not take the initiative to publicize it. In addition, they had imprisoned Xie Yuyan for more than half a year, and she had restrained herself a little after she came out. People outside also thought that the Prince Ji's Mansion had the emperor's favor, so they kept their distance from Xie Yuyan and no one dared to provoke her.
But unexpectedly, she was no longer a princess!
"It's not the princess..."
"Then why does she keep calling her Princess Wenqing?"
"This Ji Wang Mansion is really shameless. I heard that during the blind date at the polo match, they were still talking about finding a horse for the princess."
"Fortunately, I didn't let my son go forward that day. If he had only found out that the emperor disliked her after the marriage was actually concluded, he would have lost his title of princess long ago... No, if he had been kept in the dark even after the marriage, it would have been a huge joke."
People around were talking about it, and Princess Ji's face changed drastically. She never thought that Rong Yue actually knew about this.
Princess Wenqing never expected that her matter would be exposed. Facing Rong Yue's mocking face, she was so angry that she pulled out the whip from her waist and swung it towards Rong Yue.
"Xie Yuyan, are you crazy?!"
Qian Qiyue quickly pulled Rong Yue away and swung the whip in her hand, hitting Princess Wenqing's arm with a "snap".
"Get out of here!"
Princess Wenqing took a half step back and saw Qian Qiyue protecting Rongyue. She was so angry that she whipped Tang Ning in the face, but the whip just missed.
But before the whip could fall, it was grabbed by someone.
"court death!"
Yue Jian pulled the person over with force, and the next moment kicked her in the stomach. Princess Wenqing screamed and flew out, falling heavily on the vermilion doorsteps of the main hall, hitting the door with a loud noise.
"Yan'er!"
Princess Ji was horrified and ran over to support the unconscious Princess Wenqing who was vomiting blood and shouted angrily, "Song Tangning, how dare you let your servant commit such a crime?!"
"Princess Ji, please don't slander me."
Tang Ning lost her previous gentle demeanor and simply tilted her head to look at Princess Ji calmly. "My aunt is of the same rank as the Princess. She was personally appointed by His Majesty as the Lady of Rong. Xie Yuyan was long ago deposed from her title of Princess and is now nothing more than a commoner. She rebelled against her superiors and attempted to attack Lady of Rong, only to be injured by the counterattack of a maid in my mansion. What are your opinions, Princess Ji?"
"you!"
"It's okay if you have any opinions." Tang Ning raised his lips and said, "Yuejian, capture Xie Yuyan and escort her back to the capital to hand her over to the Privy Council. Let them decide what constitutes treason."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jian stepped forward and Princess Ji's face turned pale with fright.
Everyone knows that the Privy Council belongs to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan is extremely protective of Song Tangning.
If Xie Yuyan were to be brought to the Privy Council's Criminal Division, she would be stripped of her skin even without any charges...
The Fourth Prince's wife had been standing quietly to the side. Seeing the two sides about to fight, she quickly stepped forward and said, "What's going on? It's just a minor dispute. Why is it going to the Privy Council and even the Criminal Department? If you don't know, you'd think something big had happened at Lingyun Temple."
She stepped forward to block Princess Ji and the others, and advised Tang Ning, "We have the Ullambana Festival tonight, so it's really not appropriate to start a fight. Yuyan is spoiled, and she was just trying to protect the eldest princess, so she got angry. The County Lady and Madam Rongguo should be magnanimous and not bother with a little girl like her..."
"Oh, a twenty-year-old girl."
Qian Qiyue was annoyed by the good-natured look of the Fourth Prince's wife: "She is so young!"
The Fourth Prince's wife's face froze, and she inexplicably recalled how Qian Qiyue hadn't given her the slightest bit of face on the night of Qixi Festival. She then said to Tang Ning, "I know she went a bit too far, but today is the day to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. It's not right to kill in front of the Buddha and disturb the departed spirits."
Madam Qian had walked up to the front of the group before she looked at the Fourth Prince's wife and said coldly, "The Fourth Prince's wife is quite magnanimous. She always rushes forward to plead for others when she encounters something like this."
The Fourth Prince's wife's face froze: "Madam Qian..."
The people around looked at the Fourth Prince's wife with a puzzled look in their eyes.
Madam Qian ignored her and walked over to Rong Yue. "Prince Ji's Mansion and Xie Yuyan have also learned their lesson. If they don't give up, they will suffer their fate. Let's not bother with them for now." She whispered, "Master Xindeng is here."
Rong Yue and Tang Ning looked outside the door and saw several monks standing there. The one leading them was Xin Deng, the abbot of Lingyun Temple.
"Amitabha, could you, my benefactors, please temporarily put aside your hatred for my sake?"
Rong Yue was somewhat reluctant.
Tang Ning didn't say anything either.
Xin Deng raised his eyes and looked at Tang Ning: "The donor is blessed by heaven and has great fortune. I hope you can forgive others when you can."
Tang Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Master Xin Deng, and saw that his eyes were calm and peaceful, as if he could see through everything.
Tang Ning lowered his eyes slightly: "Since the master has spoken, let's just forget about it."
"Thank you, benefactor."
Xin Deng said to the person beside him, "Send these two donors to the back room to rest."
The monk beside him hurriedly walked towards Princess Ji. Princess Ji gave Tang Ning a vicious look and hurriedly helped Princess Wenqing leave.
Everyone here followed Master Xindeng in and sat on their cushions with their own thoughts. Master Xindeng seemed not to have noticed the previous dispute in the hall and quickly began today's lecture. His gentle voice seemed to soothe people's hearts, and the restless people in the hall gradually calmed down.
Only Tang Ning looked up at the monk sitting in front of the Buddha.
The way Master Xindeng looked at her just now, and the words "blessed by heaven"...
She felt as if her biggest secret had been discovered.
