As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall's faces darkened and they looked at the person who spoke!
Yes, that person was Princess Chang'an.
She glanced at Si Jinxing and continued:
“During this journey, single men and single women often have to stay in the same room.
Plus, the county lady is so charming and beautiful, I don't believe that the prince can let you go so easily. "
Qi Nanling was the first to react and refuted:
"Aunt, do you know what you are saying?
You are talking nonsense and slandering Ah Xing!"
Crown Princess Du Anlan also spoke at the right time:
“Aunt, as an elder, if you have any doubts, you should produce the evidence first.
Otherwise, if such insults to Xing'er's innocence were to reach the ears of the Emperor, it would be detrimental to my aunt."
Du Anlan had always had a good impression of Si Jinxing and thought she was an extraordinary woman!
In addition, the night before, it was the county lord's men who rescued the mother and son from the prince's mansion among Na Luosong's thousand soldiers.
Now, she can't stand anyone saying anything bad about the county lady!
Princess Chang'an saw that the two younger ones dared to talk back to her. Just as she was about to scold them, she heard her daughter tugging at her sleeve and saying:
"Mother, what are you talking about?
The county princess is dedicated to the people, and it is a righteous act for her to go to the northern border to treat the soldiers' illnesses and injuries!
The county lady is so smart, how could she be taken advantage of by that barbarian bandit?
Isn't it because my mother resents the county lady because my brother was injured while saving her that she is talking nonsense?
But when my brother was poisoned and injured, it was the county lady who treated him. She can be considered my brother's savior!
Please don't let your brother become a traitor!"
When the Queen heard this, she said with a hint of anger on her face:
"Princess Chang'an, if you continue to spread rumors and slander the county lady's innocence, please leave the palace."
The Empress Dowager threw the teacup at Princess Chang'an's feet and scolded her:
"Every time you enter the palace, you either speak ill of this person or gossip about that person. How dare you slander Xing'er today?
I don't want to see you again. You don't need to come to the Wanfu Palace to pay your respects. Leave the palace!"
From beginning to end, Si Jinxing and her three aunts didn't say a word.
Princess Chang'an angrily dragged Princess Xuanning away from Wanfu Palace, cursing at her.
Without Princess Chang'an's interference, the palace was soon filled with laughter.
Qi Nanling took Si Jinxing's arm and walked towards the palace gate, smiling and saying:
"Axing, I really envy you.
Over the years, I've never seen Uncle Jiu treat anyone as well as he treats you.
And Zhaoyue, when she marries into the Lan family in the future, she won't have to worry about her husband taking a concubine, and she can also see you often.
You will all be very happy, that’s great, I hope you are all happy!”
Si Jinxing looked at the smile on her face, how could he not know what she was thinking?
But she could only comfort him:
"Don't worry, our Princess Ling'er is so beautiful and intelligent, any man would cherish her like a treasure!"
That’s what they say, but who knows what the future will be like?
In the next two days, Si Jinxing was busy organizing the teaching materials, printing them into books, and asking someone to send them to Ninghe Villa.
Zheng Ranran is indeed a good teacher. She is very patient and all the children there like her very much.
She herself has also found her own value and is full of energy every day.
And just two days later, the palace suddenly issued two decrees in succession, the general meaning of which was:
Prime Minister Liu Yangfeng was actually a spy sent by Han Lan to Longyin, and his entire family was sentenced to death.
In addition, King Rui Qi Nanyan conspired with Liu Yangfeng and others to rebel and was sentenced to immediate execution!
After the two edicts came down, the people of Jianzhou City finally realized that a palace coup had really taken place a few nights ago!
Everyone was very surprised. How could the wise king, who was known for his virtue, have such ambitions?
For a time, Prince Rui's rebellion and Princess Rui's adultery became the topic of conversation among the people of Jianzhou City.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Chongde suddenly announced his abdication during the morning court session the next day!
And pass the throne to the crown prince Qi Nanyuan, and let him choose a day to ascend the throne!
For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked!
After all, Emperor Chongde was only in his fifties and in good health, so there was no need for him to abdicate so early.
But Eunuch Zhang knew that Emperor Chongde had been waiting for this day for more than 20 years!
Si Jinxing was having lunch when she heard Qi Moli talk about this.
She couldn't help but ask curiously:
"The Emperor is really interesting. Is he so confident in handing Long Yin over to Qi Nanyuan?"
Qi Moli picked up a piece of lotus root and placed it in the bowl in front of Si Jinxing, saying:
“The old man is very selfish!
He knew I was there, but he resigned first!
I know exactly what he is planning!
After we get married, we will leave. Your fiefdom is a good place to go!
The world is so big, I will take you to see it!
I'll see if he's anxious then!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Bai Xi say outside the door:
"Princess, Prince An is here and he wants to see you for something important!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing looked at Qi Moli, stood up and walked out.
As soon as they reached the front yard, they ran into Qi Nancheng.
The person he was holding in his arms was a woman covered in blood?
Si Jinxing looked back and saw Si Jinyi standing outside the hanging flower gate.
But her face was pale at this moment, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes. She had long lost her former liveliness and cheerfulness.
Si Jinxing was about to call her, but saw her covering her mouth and running out of the yard.
Qi Moli glanced at the blood-soaked woman and asked, "Who is this?"
Qi Nancheng said anxiously:
"To answer Uncle Jiu, I don't know her maiden name.
I caught a cold on the way back to Beijing and was taken care of by this girl.
But we were robbed in the northern suburbs. She knew that I was still sick, so she protected me behind her!
But he didn't expect that he would be stabbed by the bandit!
She is bleeding profusely, please help her, County Lady!"
Si Jinxing had no time to take care of Si Jinyi, so she had to let Qi Nancheng carry the girl to the "operating room" that was set up.
But when she put on the mask and protective clothing and looked at the girl again, she was stunned!
This person...
Her injuries were indeed serious, with the knife wound penetrating five centimeters below her left shoulder!
Fortunately, there was no damage to the internal organs, otherwise he would have been dead by the time he rushed here from the northern suburbs.
Si Jinxing was busy for more than an hour before she finally opened the door of the operating room.
She took off her mask, looked at Qi Nancheng, and asked:
"You really don't know this person?"
Qi Nancheng shook his head, and Qi Moli asked, "Who is it?"
Si Jinxing glanced at the inner room and whispered:
"She's Liu Yangfeng's granddaughter, Liu Fangying.
Logically speaking, she had been kicked out of the Liu family and all ties were severed.
The execution of the entire Liu family shouldn't implicate her, right?"
