Only after the carriage left the palace did Su Xuening's heart settle down.
This palace is no place to stay; no wonder Xuanyuan Zhan doesn't want to stay here.
With Su Huiyan and Xuanyuan Yu around, she wouldn't want to pick up any of the riches scattered throughout the palace.
Besides, there are more than just Su Huiyan and Xuan Yuan Yu in this palace; who isn't harboring their own ulterior motives?
Especially since Xuanyuan Zhan shielded Xuanyuan Peng from the sword this time and was even taken into Chengqian Palace, who knows how many people will be jealous of him!
Those people might think that Xuan Yuanzhan deliberately shielded Xuan Yuanpeng from the sword, but she knew that his action was completely subconscious, without any calculation, and came entirely from his heart.
Perhaps even Xuan Yuanzhan himself didn't expect that he would shield Xuan Yuanpeng from a sword. In Xuan Yuanzhan's heart, he actually regarded Xuan Yuanpeng as his father. He always treated Xuan Yuanpeng with that attitude because he regarded him as his father. After all, sometimes only when facing the closest people can one unleash their bad temper without restraint.
Su Xuening then thought of the time in her past life when Xuan Yuanpeng dug out her child's heart to use as a medicinal ingredient.
Even if Xuan Yuan Yu and Su Fei Ling were behind that incident, she would never forgive Xuan Yuan Peng.
She will seek revenge for the murder of her son sooner or later!
Soon, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Holy King's Mansion.
"Your Highness." Ye Yu stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain.
As soon as Su Xuening stepped out of the carriage, she saw Madam Zhong and Su Muyao at the entrance of the Holy King's Mansion.
Su Xuening frowned unhappily, feeling extremely irritated.
These people are really persistent!
"Your Highness." Bihe and Lülian came out of the Prince's residence, helped Su Xuening down from the carriage, and then whispered, "The Second Madam and the Fourth Miss have been here for an hour. They are requesting an audience with Your Highness, but the Dowager Consort did not allow them into the Prince's residence."
As soon as Bihe finished reporting, Madam Zhong rushed over and grabbed Su Xuening's sleeve: "Ning'er..."
"presumptuous!"
Before Zhong could speak, Ye Yun and Ye Yu drew their swords together.
Startled, Madam Zhong immediately released Su Xuening's sleeve and, under the fierce gazes of Ye Yun and Ye Yu, knelt down before Su Xuening: "This humble woman greets Your Highness."
Su Muyao stood aside, neither stepping forward nor bowing to Su Xuening.
"Ning'er, please save your second uncle! He's being tortured in Dali Temple every day. He's old and frail, he can't take it. Please save him!" Zhong pleaded with Su Xuening.
Su Xuening glanced at Madam Zhong expressionlessly: "Second Madam Su has come to the wrong person. It is His Majesty's will to imprison Su Renyi in Dali Temple. How can I possibly save him?"
“You can do it. You are the Holy King’s consort. As long as you ask the Holy King not to pursue the assassination, and ask him to plead for your second uncle, he will be released.” Madam Zhong tried to tug at Su Xuening’s sleeve again.
Su Xuening abruptly flicked her sleeve and coldly retorted, "Ridiculous! Su Renyi assassinated the Emperor and the Prince, and you still expect our Prince to plead for him? Do you think our Prince has no temper?!"
Su Xuening's sudden outburst startled Madam Zhong. She flattered, "Your second uncle would never hire assassins to kill the Emperor and the Holy King. You know he's very timid. How could he dare to hire assassins to kill the Emperor and the Holy King? He's been framed!"
“Madam Su has come to the wrong place. The Emperor has now handed over Su Renyi’s case to the Three Judicial Offices for trial. Madam Su should go to the Three Judicial Offices to plead her case, not to the Holy Prince’s Mansion.” Su Xuening did not want to get entangled with Madam Zhong, so she flicked her sleeves and headed back to the Holy Prince’s Mansion.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Madam Zhong panicked and crawled forward to block her way: "Ning'er, please save your second uncle! We're all family. If something happens to your second uncle, you'll have no one to rely on!"
Su Xuening rolled her eyes dismissively: "Ridiculous! When did Su Renyi become worthy of being my support!"
These people are using such ridiculous words to threaten her. Do they really think she's a fool?
"Su Xuening, are you really going to just stand by and watch me die?" Zhong asked, her eyes brimming with tears, trying to look pitiful, but her tone was clearly threatening.
Su Xuening saw Zhong's expression clearly, but she was not swayed by her at all. She said coldly, "Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. He should have thought about the consequences before he did those things!"
Seeing that her pleas were useless, Madam Zhong's eyes darted around, and she simply stopped kneeling and sat down on the ground, wailing, "Oh! My poor Marquis, how could you be so unlucky? You worked so hard to raise your elder brother's two children, and now she has climbed the social ladder and become a princess, and she doesn't care about your life or death anymore!"
As soon as Zhong made a scene, passersby gathered around.
Seeing that there were onlookers, Zhong acted even more enthusiastically, slapping her thigh with snot and tears streaming down her face: "Everyone, come and see! Some people don't even care about their own closest relatives, they have no humanity at all!"
The onlookers, hearing Zhong's cries, immediately began to discuss among themselves.
"Isn't this Lady Yong'an, the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an? How dare she cause trouble at the gate of the Holy Prince's Mansion!"
"It seems that Marquis Yong'an was imprisoned in Dali Temple for attempting to assassinate the Emperor. He came to the Holy Prince's Mansion to plead for mercy, but it looks like no one is paying attention to him."
"I never expected the Holy Princess to be so heartless. She completely disregards the life or death of Marquis Yong'an."
"Yes, he's her uncle after all, they're blood relatives, why didn't she plead for him?"
Hearing these passersby speak up for her, Zhong Shi became even more emboldened. She got up again, knelt down in front of Su Xuening, and pretended to cry and beg, "Ning'er, your second uncle has treated you well. Your father is dead, and your mother is with the carriage..."
"If you don't want your tongue to be cut out too, I advise you to watch your words." Before Zhong could finish speaking, Su Xuening interrupted her sharply.
