"She became a pawn and died in power struggles at the hands of aristocratic families." He Zheng's voice was cold.
The hand of a noble family...could it be the Wei family?
Xie Qingyao looked at He Zheng.
However, He Zheng never reveals his emotions. When he talked about these things, his expression was indifferent, and it was hard to say whether he was angry or sad.
Since Your Majesty has told him all this, it proves that the eldest princess is not without importance in Your Majesty's heart.
Xie Qingyao could only hug He Zheng tightly, perhaps this would make him happier.
An hour later, the carriage finally arrived at Jue Mountain.
A large group of people went up the mountain to the eldest princess's tomb.
Xie Qingyao was held by He Zheng's hand and walked side by side with him.
"The wife of Marquis Anguo is so clingy. She leans on him in public and walks side by side with him without distinguishing between the high and the low. She really has no sense of etiquette." A noble lady said dissatisfiedly.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for people nearby to hear.
"Are you blind?"
"Is that the Marquis of Anguo's wife clinging to the Marquis of Anguo? Didn't you see that it was the Marquis of Anguo holding his wife's hand?"
"If you love gossiping so much, why don't you go talk about the Marquis of Anguo?"
"Is their love and affection bothering you? Or are you jealous that they don't have you?"
In an instant, everyone around looked over.
The noblewoman blushed, feeling angry, and said in a sharp voice, "Dou Yueying, you, you've gone too far."
Dou Yueying looked at him coldly, cursed him as a "blind man", and walked forward quickly.
The lady's eyes turned red and she burst into tears of anger.
"Alright, alright. Everyone knows that she is good friends with the wife of the Marquis of Anguo. It's better not to act rashly. Be careful that she won't tell the wife of the Marquis." Someone comforted.
When the lady heard this, she was extremely frightened.
If Dou Yueying goes to tell Xie Qingyao about it, she will be in trouble.
She suddenly felt dizzy and hurried after him, trying to remedy the situation.
The sacrifice began and almost all members of the royal family were present.
Prince An was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by his servants. Only his right eye was visible, and his brows were filled with gloom.
King Qin was released from house arrest for one day. After being reprimanded by Emperor Jinde and reflecting in Qianshan Temple for many days, he now seemed much calmer.
King Kang looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and was no different from before. However, he had recently been praised by the court and the public for his filial piety, and his good reputation had spread.
The prince followed behind Emperor Jinde and cooperated respectfully.
"Mother, when can I get Xie Qingyao's face?" Princess Yong'an asked in a low voice, panting, with a very ugly look on her face.
She now has to gasp for breath every time she walks a few steps, and her heart often hurts terribly. She has also been left with ugly scars that cannot be removed by any medicine.
The worst thing is that the birthmark on the side of her face is getting bigger and bigger, which makes her panic.
One day, someone discovered that Princess Yong'an was an ugly monster with a strange birthmark on her face.
How could she bear it?
Concubine Yin frowned and said, "Wait a moment. Your body is not suitable for face transplantation yet. Besides, Marquis Anguo protects Xie Qingyao like an eyeball. It will be difficult to get her face back."
Princess Yong'an was silent for a moment, then continued, "The Rongguo Mansion and the Anguo Marquis Mansion are about to become relatives, so the He family girl..."
Concubine Yin: "Don't worry, I will ask my sister-in-law Liu to teach her the rules."
Princess Yong'an gave a cold smile.
After the sacrifice, everyone had a meal and rested.
"Qingyao." Dou Yueying came over and shouted happily.
Xie Qingyao poured her a cup of tea and said, "I saw you just now, but it's not convenient to move around during the sacrifice."
Dou Yueying: "When I got here, I heard people saying bad things about you."
Xie Qingyao raised her eyebrows: "What did you say about me?"
Dou Yueying: "They say you are clingy and don't know etiquette."
Xie Qingyao smiled nonchalantly, "There are so many people who say bad things about me, this is considered restrained."
Dou Yueying: "I also saw the wife of the Marquis of Changning coming here. After Han Zhuoyang died, she came to my door and made a scene. I'm worried that she will do something this time."
"Qingyao, you have to be careful."
Xie Qingyao nodded slightly: "Okay, you too."
Just then, an old woman rushed over holding a bamboo tube and splashed it at the two of them viciously.
"You two have colluded with each other to kill the prince. I'll teach you a lesson!"
