Chapter 171 The Injury Was Discovered
Imperial Palace, Cining Hall.
The eldest princess ran into the palace like a madman, which immediately alarmed her mother, the Empress Dowager.
She was informed of the news by a palace maid while the man was sleeping soundly in bed. She became furious upon hearing the news.
My daughter is cold and arrogant by nature, and she attaches great importance to her dignity and status. How could she look like a lunatic as the palace maid said?
The maid knelt on the ground in fear, "The princess has arrived and is in the hall outside."
The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this. The other party didn't look like he was lying. Besides, who would dare to talk nonsense about her beloved daughter? Could something really have happened to Zi Yi?
The Queen Mother thought and lifted the quilt, "Change clothes, I'll go check..."
Upon hearing this, the old maids came forward and helped her put on her clothes with swift hands and feet. Then the empress dowager led a group of people out.
As soon as she left the house, the eldest princess ran towards her and threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms, "Mother!"
The Queen Mother looked at her daughter who really acted like a madman, and immediately asked in confusion, "What happened? How did it become like this? What happened?"
The eldest princess said nothing, but hugged her mother and sobbed sadly.
Seeing her daughter's appearance, the Queen Mother looked at her maid angrily and asked, "What could have happened in the dead of night to scare the princess like this?"
The maid fell to her knees upon hearing this. She didn't dare to talk about what the princess had done tonight, especially since so many people had died in it. She could only say fearfully, "Yes, the princess's mansion was on fire..."
The Queen Mother's face darkened with anger when she heard this. Could a fire scare her daughter like this?
How could she not understand Ziyi's personality? She was so scheming and courageous, so how could she be afraid of a fire?
But looking at this useless maid, he frowned and waved his hand coldly, "Go away."
After saying that, he looked at the palace maids and nannies around him and said, "All of you go down as well."
Everyone bowed and saluted, then left and closed the door.
The Queen Mother was the only one left in the palace. She patted her daughter in her arms and said, "Don't cry. Tell me what happened."
The princess raised her head upon hearing this, tears and fear on her face, "Mother, Ning Cuo wants to kill me..."
The Queen Mother was surprised. "Ning Dugong?"
The eldest princess nodded and said, "He just killed all of my people and burned down my princess residence. He even wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I ran fast enough, otherwise I would not be able to see my mother now."
The Queen Mother was even more shocked. "What? He actually dared..."
Then he came to his senses and looked at his daughter. "Although Ning Cuo is a eunuch, he has been active in the previous dynasty since he was crowned king. You are a princess and have nothing to do with him. How could you have made an enemy of him and made him willing to take such a big risk and kill you, a princess of the current dynasty?"
The eldest princess's eyes became evasive when she heard this!
The Queen Mother was furious when she saw this. "At this time, what is it that makes it difficult for you to talk to me, your mother?"
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said, "It's me who likes him!"
The Queen Mother was stunned. "What did you say? You like Duke Ning?"
The eldest princess looked serious and said, "Yes, I like him!"
"But Ning Dugong, he is a eunuch..."
"This daughter knows,"
“You…” The Queen Mother was furious, but seeing her daughter’s miserable state, she couldn’t bear to hit her. She just angrily said, “You evil creature!”
The eldest princess knelt down, "Mother, now is not the time to worry about this, you must save me this time..."
Even though the Queen Mother was furious, she couldn't really ignore her daughter. She suppressed her anger and raised her eyelids, "Since you like him, why did he want to kill you?"
The eldest princess looked at the queen mother and said, "Anyway, I'll tell you everything. I like Ning Cuo, so when I found out that a married woman with no sense of shame had seduced him, I sent people to ambush and assassinate her. I never thought that Ning Cuo would find out. He killed all of my people and now he wants to kill me..."
The Queen Mother was so angry with her daughter that she even sent people to ambush and assassinate her. This is the imperial city. As a princess of a country, she sent people to kill people in the street. She was breaking the law knowingly!
Now she failed to kill someone and her enemy found out her identity, and he wants to kill her. She really loses more than she gains!
But no matter what, her daughter is a princess of a country. She can make mistakes and kill people, but others cannot really kill her!
However, Duke Ning is different from others. His influence in the court is so great that he has power over the government and the country.
Actually, it was because her emperor son was not a good person. He spent all day looking for immortals and asking for the way, which made the previous dynasty a mess.
Now there is such a hateful and evil person who even dares to kill the princess. It is simply outrageous!
The Queen Mother thought for a moment with a gloomy face, "Don't leave the palace recently. I will help you deal with this matter..."
The eldest princess was delighted and said, "Thank you, mother!"
Seeing her daughter smile, the empress dowager was not so relieved. Although she was in the harem and never left the house, she had heard about the deeds of Ning Dugong.
Therefore, it may not be easy to deal with this matter!
*****
A magnificent palace, exquisite palace lanterns, soft red curtains, and a fragrant jade bed.
Xiao Tu was placed on the bed by the man, with her head tilted back. She used her hands to hold back the evildoer who was trying to undress her, "I can do this myself~"
Ning Cuo's charming eyes shone with a moving light, "Since we have to wash it anyway, why not..."
Xiao Tu refused outright, "No, I'm exhausted from all the hard work today. Besides, you promised me that you would take two days off, so you are not allowed to harass me~"
After saying that, he didn't care what the guy said anymore. He pushed him away with disgust and went to the bathroom.
Ning Cuo looked at the figure jumping away, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
But when Xiao Tu arrived at the bathroom, the smile on her face disappeared.
She grinned and found a place to sit down, then slowly took off her gray and tattered clothes, revealing the tightly bandaged wound on her arm.
It hurts so much. I haven’t had time to check it out since I got injured!
She didn't know if it would affect her fair skin that was more delicate than flowers. If she got a scar or her face was disfigured, she would definitely fight with that damn princess!
Xiao Tu untied the wound in a sweat, and the wound on her arm had stopped bleeding, which made her feel relieved.
Now, as long as we quietly dispose of the bloody clothes, everything should be fine.
Anyway, she has a strong constitution and should be fully recovered in a few days!
Tonight, she was not a fool, so she could naturally see that although Ning Cuo, the bastard, had been smiling since he found her, he was obviously not in a good state.
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt a little cold around me, and goose bumps appeared all over my skin, as if I was stared at by some terrifying creature, and my body instinctively responded.
She immediately turned around and saw a man with all his extravagant ornaments and clothes stripped off, wearing only a gorgeous black robe.
