The scene of Marquis Anguo taking Jiang Qingyao away hurt Princess Yongjia's eyes.
An indescribable sadness and jealousy made a big hole in my heart, and the cold wind rushed in.
It’s so heartbreaking!
However, a loud crisp sound pulled her thoughts away.
Princess Yongjia saw a flash of murderous intent across Emperor Jinde's face, but it disappeared in a flash.
She was stunned.
Is this really her father?
At this moment, Concubine Li understood His Majesty's temper better than Princess Yongjia.
She held her breath, her mind in a mess.
She had a premonition that she might fall into a big trouble this time. His Majesty would not just give her a light punishment but also a severe warning. It would be a lot of noise but little action.
Your Majesty is not putting on a show for Marquis Anguo, but is genuinely angry.
Emperor Jinde narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Concubine Li's words and actions are inappropriate. She has failed to teach the princess properly and has been overly indulgent. Her virtue is truly unworthy of her position. From today on, she will be demoted to a concubine and will reflect on herself in Mingde Hall for a month. She is not allowed to leave Mingde Hall without permission."
Demoted to a concubine?
From now on, she is no longer Concubine Li, but Concubine Li!
Concubine Li felt her face getting wet, and the taut string in her head snapped with a whoosh.
"Mother! Mother!"
Concubine Li suddenly fainted, and Princess Yongjia panicked and screamed, "Someone, call the imperial physician! My mother has fainted!"
The other side.
He Zheng stopped and there were no palace servants around.
He leaned sideways and said in a deep voice, "What happened to your left hand?"
Oh, he noticed?
Jiang Qingyao's expression changed slightly. She stretched out her left hand which was tucked in her sleeve and opened her palm, revealing a large bunch of hair.
"When His Majesty came, I pulled out a handful of hair and left a small bald spot on the back of Princess Yongjia's head."
"She'll know when she washes and bathes tonight."
The corner of He Zheng's mouth twitched: "..."
"Your temper..."
Jiang Qingyao said hurriedly: "How His Majesty punishes her is His Majesty's business. Anyway, I can't suffer any loss. I will ask for some interest first."
He Zheng seemed to smile a little, "Very good."
Then Jiang Qingyao smiled, quickly threw away her hair, and got into the carriage with He Zheng.
Noticing the two holding hands, Xi Feng's eyes widened like bells, and he said with a smile on his face, "Go."
The carriage is spacious and has a unique atmosphere, like a small tea room.
The seats are also padded.
He Zheng lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was in deep thought.
There's news about the person who was sent to investigate the swap.
He would give a return gift to Concubine Li, a smart, patient and scheming woman.
Princess Yongjia...she should be thankful that she has His Majesty's blood.
However, He Zheng's eyes gradually became filled with frost, and murderous intent surged in his heart.
So what if I have your Majesty's blood?
"What is the Marquis thinking about?" Jiang Qingyao suddenly came over and saw that his expression just now seemed a little serious.
He Zheng: "Giving gifts."
"Do you need to give gifts to others too?"
"Yeah." He Zheng smiled. "Reciprocity is always necessary."
He just doesn't know whether the other party likes it or can bear it, but it doesn't matter, it's not his concern.
He Zheng first sent Jiang Qingyao back to Haitangju. However, along the way, the long street was full of people cheering to welcome Marquis Anguo, and the crowds seemed endless.
Who said that there was a group of Qilin guards behind their carriage, which was extremely eye-catching.
Even though there were no flags or emblems on the carriage, everyone knew it was the carriage of Marquis Anguo.
Xifeng, who worked as a groom, was stuffed with many vegetable baskets by several ladies. Soon he could not take them all and hurriedly declined. "No, no, we appreciate your kindness."
The people are so enthusiastic that we can’t handle it.
Jiang Qingyao lifted the car curtain and saw the grand scene on the long street, thinking that this was what the people wanted and what the people supported.
However, even she couldn't help but worry that Marquis Anguo was too prominent and his achievements were too great, which would eventually make His Majesty wary of him.
"Are you worried?" He Zheng suddenly asked.
How did he notice it again? Could he have been looking at her?
Jiang Qingyao nodded, a hint of worry in her dark eyes.
"Qiqi." He Zheng's voice was low and gentle.
"What you worry about will never happen."
"Your Majesty will not do anything to me, nor can he do anything to me."
After hearing these words, Jiang Qingyao felt relieved. It was not until a long time later that she realized the deeper meaning behind them. Behind them lay a shocking secret that had been hidden for many years.
July 7th.
This was the second time he called her that.
The first time was on the day of the engagement, when he promised his grandfather that he would take good care of her.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will take good care of Qiqi."
"I understand." Jiang Qingyao blushed and pulled out her right hand that he had been holding in his palm. She quickly turned her back to him and lay on the windowsill, breathing the air outside.
Calm down!
How come some people say sweet words so easily?
No, no, no, that's not even a love talk. He can't even say a sweet word.
But it is more touching than those love words.
Seeing her pointing the back of her head towards him, He Zheng let out a low laugh.
The carriage moved slowly and took half a day to arrive at Haitangju. Jiang Qingyao got off the carriage.
"Miss!"
Zhitao exclaimed and flew over like an arrow.
Others also ran out when they heard the noise.
"Miss, I'm so glad you're okay, woooo..." Zhitao burst into tears.
Ning, Chulu, Ma Liu and Zhang Bo came over, and the maids cried for joy and burst into tears.
It was like a group of ducks quacking in my head.
Jiang Qingyao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but she was quite skilled in comforting people and coaxed them back one by one.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I'm back unharmed."
