Su Ruan took the initiative to go to Wuji Palace with Li Chunfeng, originally to see Yu Qianqian embarrass herself on the spot and spread the scandal throughout the city. If Mu Beichen knew that Yu Qianqian was cheating on him with another man, he would probably be furious and wouldn't care about investigating the whole story.
But she never expected that things would turn out differently than planned. Not only did she fail to get back at Yu Qianqian, she also ended up getting herself into trouble.
Su Ruan returned from Wuji Palace in a disheveled state, naturally unwilling to suffer in silence. The next day, she angrily tried to storm into Fengyi Palace to find Yu Qianqian, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Please stop, young lady. This is the Empress's palace. Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter or leave at will."
"Hmph! You blind, good-for-nothing lackey!" Su Ruan was furious and shouted, "I am Princess Mingxia of Jianglan Kingdom, and I am the Emperor's new favorite. I will soon become the mistress of this harem, so you'd better be more polite when you speak to me."
Yu Qianqian was fast asleep when she heard the noise outside. She rubbed her eyes and slowly woke up from her drowsy state. She hurriedly asked Xiangxing, "Who's making such a racket outside?"
"Your Majesty... Princess Mingxia has arrived. It's all my fault for being useless. I tried to persuade her for a long time, but I couldn't get her to leave." Xiangxing stammered, glancing out the door with Yu Qianqian.
Yu Qianqian sat down in front of the bronze mirror, smoothed her slightly messy hair, and without even turning her head, replied in a nonchalant tone: "Oh, I wondered who it was, but it turns out to be an idiot delivering a head to my door."
Upon hearing this, Xiangxing was immediately at a loss for words. Just as she was about to say something, Yu Qianqian's voice came over, neither too loud nor too soft.
"I'm in a very good mood today, so I'll welcome anyone who comes, no matter who they are." Yu Qianqian flicked her sleeve lightly and said to Xiang Xing with a half-smile, "Go tell the people outside that if she wants to come in, then let her in."
After quietly tidying herself up in front of the bronze mirror, she went straight to the main seat in the outer pavilion and slowly sat down. She leaned back in the seat, and a magnificent phoenix robe covered the entire seat, cascading down to the ground in layers.
Just then, she heard someone enter from outside the palace. She still lowered her eyes slightly, looking down at everything from her high position. Her lazy posture and nonchalant attitude made her look just like a supreme and noble queen.
As soon as Su Ruan entered the room, especially seeing Yu Qianqian looking completely relaxed, she was immediately furious. She blurted out, yelling at Yu Qianqian, "Yu Qianqian, get up right now! I'm going to settle this score with you for yesterday!"
The moment the words left her lips, Su Ruan's glare at Yu Qianqian sharpened even further.
Yu Qianqian, however, remained calm as if no one was around. She slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Su Ruan, then deliberately drew out her words in a cold tone: "Let me see, who is making such a racket so early in the morning?"
"Yu Qianqian!" Su Ruan's angry roar had just left her mouth when a crisp slap rang out on her face. As she looked forward in surprise, Yu Qianqian was already standing right in front of her.
A red and swollen handprint suddenly appeared on Su Ruan's face. When she looked up again, she saw fierce-looking palace maids and eunuchs standing side by side on the ground, their extremely strong pressure and bloodthirsty aura pressing down on her.
