Chapter 624 Fu Jinrou gets beaten
Qian Qiyue pinched her throat and lowered her voice to speak quickly, then immediately retreated into the crowd, standing just behind Fu Jinrou.
These young girls were originally standing behind the group of older ladies, with the seven or eight people in front of them completely blocking their way. They were all startled when they heard the sudden sound.
"Who is speaking?!"
Princess Huan's face flushed red, and she turned her head abruptly with murderous intent in her eyes.
Mrs. Cao and the others were all startled and took half a step back in unison. Several young women at the back were given space, and the first to be affected was Fu Jinrou.
Fu Jinrou was still immersed in the lively bickering between Rong Yue and Princess Huan, and was also thinking about how to take revenge on Madam Fu, but she never expected that she would suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention.
She shuddered in fear at the murderous look in Princess Huan's eyes.
“No…” I…
Before Fu Jinrou could utter a word to explain herself, Princess Huan was furious and grabbed the bowl of soup that the Queen Mother had used medicine on and threw it towards her.
"Who are you to mock this princess?"
Rong Yue is fine, at least she has the title of Mrs. Rong, and Song Tangning has Xiao Yan backing her up.
But who the hell is this Fu Jinrou? How dare she call her a dog?!
Princess Huan was so angry that she had incredible strength. Although the medicine bowl was knocked off course and didn't fall on Fu Jinrou's face, it still hit her shoulder.
Fu Jinrou couldn't help but cry out in pain. She swayed awkwardly for a moment, but before she could retreat, Qian Qiyue hurriedly supported her.
"Princess Huan, are you crazy?!"
"This is Shoukang Palace. How dare you hurt someone in front of the Empress Dowager?"
Qian Qiyue stood in front of Fu Jinrou with righteous indignation and shouted angrily at Princess Huan:
"You are the prince's principal wife, so we tolerated your repeated mockery and insults in the side hall before. But this time, Jinrou didn't offend you, but you actually hurt her directly and smashed the Queen Mother's medicine bowl. Are you cursing the Queen Mother?!"
The other two women who were also standing at the back and heard Qian Qiyue mocking Princess Huan, but later let Fu Jinrou take the blame, all looked relieved.
They had just thought that Qian Qiyue hid behind Fu Jinrou after she spoke, intending to harm the girl from the Fu family. But now, seeing her standing in front of Fu Jinrou, shaking with anger and angrily scolding Princess Huan for speaking up for Fu Jinrou, they felt that they had misunderstood her just now.
Qian Qiyue is known for her eagerness to help others, so how could she possibly harm the girl from the Fu family?
But when Princess Huan heard this, she felt that Qian Qiyue and Fu Jinrou were in cahoots with each other and were birds of a feather, and that what they said was just sophistry. She looked ferocious and was about to curse.
Rong Yue had already stood in front of her and said, "I was the one who said that just now. I was also mocking Princess Huan for meddling in other people's affairs. If Princess Huan wants to make a fuss, she can come to me. Why involve these two juniors?"
Princess Huan angrily said, "Rong Yue, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Do you still think you were the princess of Cheng who was so glorious when you were in the Cheng Palace?!"
Rong Yue said indifferently, "I dare not. I have never been proud of my status as a princess, nor have I ever been humbled by my ordinary status. As a person, I only want to have a clear conscience!"
Princess Huan sneered, "What a joke! Then why did you let yourself be deceived by Prince Cheng? Wasn't it because you were attracted by the royal family's wealth..."
“That’s enough!”
The Queen Mother suddenly spoke.
Princess Huan turned her head in anger: "Empress Dowager, Rong Yue..."
"Bang!"
The Queen Mother slapped the edge of the bed and said, "I've said enough. Don't you understand?"
Princess Huan was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the Queen Mother's face was fierce when she raised her eyes.
"Chen Hongzhu, what do you think this place is?!"
Ever since everyone entered the bedroom, the empress dowager had always had a kind face. Even when she was angry before, she never showed her power to them. Later, when she took Rong Yue and Tang Ning to reminisce about the past, she was as kind as a kind old lady next door.
But when facing Princess Huan at this time, the Queen Mother's face was cold and sullen, and her somewhat old eyes were full of anger.
"Empress Dowager, calm down!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down in unison, even Rong Yue and Tang Ning were no exception.
Princess Huan was suddenly called by her name by the Queen Mother, and her face turned pale instantly. The arrogance and distortion on her face just now disappeared instantly, and she knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Empress Dowager, I..."
"Shut up!"
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Huan calmly, her heart filled with anger.
She had just mentioned Tang Ning when Rong Yue hinted to her not to touch Tang Ning easily. The Queen Mother was already a little angry when she used that bastard Xiao Yan to pressure her, and now Princess Huan was making a scene in her palace again.
The Queen Mother leaned on the edge of the bed and said angrily, "I was talking to Rong Yue and Tang Ning. Who allowed you to interrupt without permission? Who allowed you to speak ill of me in my palace?"
"Why, you're so used to being so domineering in Prince Huan's Mansion that even in Shoukang Palace, you let the people from Prince Huan's Mansion have the final say. Do you still have any regard for me, the Queen Mother?!"
Princess Huan hurriedly said, "I dare not, I would never dare to offend the Queen Mother..."
"I think there's nothing you dare not do!"
The Queen Mother spoke too quickly, her face flushed with anger, and her voice trembled a little when she spoke.
"The Emperor sent you into the palace to tend to me, not to anger me to death. You even dared to smash my medicine bowl and insult Rong Yue in front of me, destroying her innocence."
"Why, are you going to destroy Shoukang Palace and kill me next time?!"
This is a serious crime.
The Empress Dowager is the mother of the Emperor, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the mother of the world. Anyone who disobeys the Empress Dowager, even if he is an official, will be executed along with his entire clan.
This time, not only the ladies, but even the servants in Shoukang Palace inside and outside the hall all knelt down and kowtowed in unison.
"Queen Mother, calm down!"
Princess Huan, who had smashed the medicine bowl in anger earlier, was so frightened that she could hardly kneel down.
She originally thought that Rong Yue was no longer the Princess of Cheng, and Song Tangning was having an affair with the "traitor" Xiao Yan and had an engagement. Emperor An had been repeatedly oppressed by the Crown Prince and Xiao Yan during this period, and even almost lost his throne. The Queen Mother, as the mother of Emperor An, must have hated them to the extreme, so Princess Huan dared to embarrass Rong Yue and the other one in public in the palace.
Princess Huan originally thought that even if the Queen Mother did not openly make things difficult for Rong Yue and the others, she would definitely be happy to see her bullying Rong Yue. Even if the matter got out of hand, the Queen Mother would only pretend to scold her and let the matter go.
But who could have imagined that the Queen Mother would be so partial to Rong Yue and even say such heartbreaking words to her.
If this word gets out, not only her, but also Prince Huan and the entire Prince Huan's Mansion will be punished!
Princess Huan no longer showed any arrogance and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I have absolutely no such intentions, much less any intention to murder the Queen Mother. I was simply confused for a moment and angered by someone's outrageous words, which is why I lost my composure. I have only filial piety towards the Queen Mother, and I hope you live a long life. Your Majesty, please understand."
