Emperor's Capital Chapter 64: Your Majesty, Your Concubine Has Been...
Hearing is one thing, seeing is another. The ladies who finally came back to their senses from their daze couldn't help but scream, and suddenly there was a piercing scream. Ye Li wanted to rub his ears helplessly. Poor girls, go back and drink more calming tea. Fortunately, although the people inside were very involved, they could still find such a big noise when the door was knocked open and a person rushed in. So the people inside quickly grabbed the quilt and wrapped the two people tightly the moment the door was opened. But it doesn't matter, there is a faint gauze screen blocking the window. Ye Li thought silently.
But the intruder clearly had no intention of ruining her master's reputation, and she immediately let out an even more miserable cry, "Prince, what did you do to the princess?!"
Why is this necessary?
The girl's sharp cry instantly silenced the screaming ladies outside. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Which prince and princess were these? They felt that the Li Palace had never checked the almanac before arranging a wedding!
"What happened here?" Concubine Xian Zhao finally arrived with her people and asked in a deep voice when she saw the crowd gathered at the door. Finally, Concubine Xian Zhao knew that it was probably not a good thing. There were not many people who came together, only a few who seemed to be not so easy to refuse. But in Ye Li's opinion, it didn't make any difference.
"Tiffany, here..." Ye Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Let the ladies go out and rest first."
Concubine Xianzhao looked at Ye Li with a twinkle in her eyes, nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. I'm sorry to have frightened you ladies. Please go out and have a cup of tea and rest for a while." Everyone naturally agreed, and the rich ladies left this strange place at a brisk pace. Ye Li followed the crowd and was about to leave with the crowd, but was grabbed by Ye Ying who was standing next to Concubine Xianzhao, "Third sister, can you stay? We... don't know what happened here..." Concubine Xianzhao also nodded and said, "That's right, it's good for Princess Ding to be here. If there is anything, you can be a witness. Let's go in and take a look."
Ye Li didn't know what expression to put on. She just laughed dryly and said, "In that case...why not ask the two of you inside to pack up and come out to meet us later?"
Concubine Xianzhao's expression changed slightly, and she shouted in a deep voice: "How dare you! Come out now!"
There was a sobbing sound, followed by a flurry of activity. Soon a tall figure followed by a petite female figure came out from behind the screen.
"Li'er, why are you here?!" Concubine Xianzhao asked in a sharp voice. The tall man with tattered clothes and a sullen face, who else could it be but Mo Jingli who was supposed to be entertaining guests in the front hall?
"Prince!" Ye Ying screamed, pointing at the two people who came out. Their frail bodies were about to fall. Everyone turned their eyes from Mo Jingli to the woman behind him. The woman was disheveled like Mo Jingli, with her hair disheveled. Her charming eyes were still filled with tears, and some ambiguous pink marks extended from her neck to her collar. "Princess Qixia..." The voice of the Nanhou Lady standing next to the concubine was trembling. Although the emperor had not officially made Princess Qixia his concubine, how could these powerful families with their own information channels not know that the palace was already preparing for the ceremony of conferring the title of princess, and even the title of the Ministry of Rites had been drafted.
Looking at Princess Ding who was standing by and supporting Ye Ying, Madam Nanhou immediately made up her mind and said, "Princess Ding, it's really inconvenient here, let's go out first." Ye Li nodded and said, "Madam is right. Princess, if you have anything to say, let's go out and talk." Princess Xianzhao glanced at Mo Jingli and Princess Qixia with an unpleasant expression, and nodded, "Princess Ding is right. Let's go out first, you pack up and come out immediately!"
When they returned to the hall, the other female relatives had been sent to other courtyards by the Concubine Dowager to rest, so Ye Li and the others could not leave for a while. Seeing the stiff and ugly faces of Nan Hou's wife and the ladies who came with Concubine Xian Zhao, Ye Li felt much more balanced in her heart. Anyway, she had nothing to do with it, so she just watched the show.
Ye Ying sat beside Concubine Xian Zhao and sobbed, making the already dull and stagnant atmosphere in the flower hall even more cold and depressing. Concubine Xian Zhao was fed up with her crying, glanced at her and said coldly: "Shut up! You just know how to cry!" Ye Ying didn't care that the Concubine was angry, this sudden incident was the biggest blow to her. Is there anything more devastating than seeing your beloved, your husband, rolling around in bed with another woman on the same day he married a concubine? "Why did the Concubine scold me for doing this? It's not my fault..."
Concubine Xian Zhao said in annoyance: "Shut up and sit aside!"
Such a big thing happened, even if Concubine Xian Zhao wanted to hide it, she couldn't. Moreover, there were too many people here today. Just looking at the expressions of the female relatives on the way here, they knew that most of them knew what happened here. Concubine Xian Zhao would not do such a thing as covering her ears and stealing the bell. She directly sent someone to the front hall to invite several royal relatives who were close to Prince Li's palace to come over, and at the same time sent someone to report to the Queen Mother who had not yet left the palace to support her son's wedding.
When the clan members in the front hall came over, Mo Jingli and Princess Qixia had just finished packing and walked out one after the other. When Ye Ying saw Princess Qixia, who had washed herself carefully but still had affectionate eyes and a shy look after having sex, she wanted to rush over and tear her apart, "You bitch!" Princess Qixia looked at Ye Ying rushing towards her, and screamed in fear, took a step back and fell into Mo Jingli's arms. Ye Ying's eyes immediately turned red with anger, "You adulterous couple... You bitch, I'm going to kill you..." Everyone hurriedly grabbed Ye Ying, trying to comfort and soothe her, and the mess made the few people who had just entered the room frown.
Ye Li turned around and saw Mo Xiuyao coming in. She smiled faintly and ignored the chaos around her. She walked up to him slowly, "Why are you here?"
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at the sullen Concubine Xianzhao who was sitting in the main seat. Concubine Xianzhao had invited several of Mo Jingli's uncles and brothers, and the highest-ranking Prince Dingguo must not be left out. Besides, the Princess of Dingguo was already here, so having another Prince Dingguo would not make much difference.
"Jingli! What the hell are you doing?!" An old prince with a white beard and an extraordinary aura was so angry that his beard was blown up. He snorted and pointed at Ye Ying who was crying and said, "Is this the princess you insisted on going with? And this... Today is your wedding, and you invited so many people. What's the point of doing this now? You have completely disgraced your father and brother!"
Mo Jingli's face was livid, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. This old prince was the reincarnated elder brother of the previous emperor, and the only uncle of Mo Jingqi and his brother. Naturally, he had great prestige, and even Mo Jingli did not dare to disobey this uncle easily. Another prince who was a few years younger grabbed the angry old prince and said, "Second brother, calm down. Let's sit down and listen to what Jingli has to say. Don't scare the children." This prince's temper was obviously much better, but he looked very unhappy when he looked at Mo Jingli. The remaining two were Mo Jingli's brothers. In the early years, they had a bad relationship with Mo Jingqi because of the throne. After listening to the words of the two uncles, they found a place to sit down and just watched the show.
"Why is A'li here?" Mo Xiuyao asked softly.
Ye Li looked at him helplessly, "Just bumped into him."
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly, and without asking any more questions, he pulled Ye Li to sit next to him.
Everyone in the hall was probably embarrassed, except for Ye Ying who was sobbing and Mo Xiuyao who looked calm and half-hidden his face. After all, what they were going to talk about was different from others, and what was even more different was the parties involved. One was the younger brother of the current emperor, and the other was the emperor's designated future concubine. Although the royal family had seen all kinds of dirty and filthy things, at least everyone knew to find a piece of cloth to cover up their shame. It was rare for something like what happened today to happen in public and spread to almost all the noble women in the capital in a moment.
"Shut up! Why are you crying?" Old Master Wang was also annoyed by the endless voice that sounded like a wandering soul, and he slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.
Ye Ying was startled and stopped crying immediately. With tears on her face, she looked at the old prince with a dull expression and dared not speak. The old prince snorted softly and then looked at Concubine Xianzhao and said, "Concubine, what is going on? This happened, the emperor..." How should they explain to the emperor? The old prince knew what Concubine Xianzhao meant when she asked them to come. The emperor would definitely be angry if something like this happened. Committing adultery with the emperor's designated concubine and killing Mo Jingli were both light punishments. But... Concubine Xianzhao definitely didn't want Prince Li to die, the queen mother definitely didn't want to, and the emperor... probably didn't want to either. Also, the emperor probably didn't want to offend Nanzhao now. Then, they had to plead for Prince Li and step down to the stage for the emperor!
Concubine Xian Zhao sighed and said, "I don't know what happened. I just heard that something happened here, so I rushed over and saw..."
Ye Ying snorted and said sharply: "What else could it be? Isn't it just that this bitch seduced the prince..."
"Ye Ying!" Concubine Xian Zhao frowned and stared at Ye Ying sternly, saying, "Pay attention to your own status, don't treat yourself like those uneducated women! If you don't want to stay here, go back to your room." Ye Ying bit her lip and turned her head away without saying anything. The old prince frowned and looked at Mo Jingli standing in the hall and asked, "Jingli, you should be in the front yard to greet guests at this time, why are you in the place where the women rest? Have you forgotten even the basic etiquette after getting married?" Mo Jingli has always been cold and arrogant. It is estimated that he has never encountered such an embarrassing situation in his life. And it was in front of Mo Xiuyao, who he had been hostile to since childhood, and Ye Li, who he thought was abandoned by him. This realization made him feel even more embarrassed, and his face was filled with great anger. "Someone sent a message to invite me here."
"So? After you came here, you made love with the emperor's concubine?" The young prince sitting on the side sneered, and the mockery in his eyes was obvious. Ye Li had met these princes once before. The man who was speaking was Mo Xiuyao's half-brother, Prince Yi, Mo Jingyi. Mo Jingli glared at him with a gloomy face, but Mo Jingyi didn't care. He sneered and raised his head to look at the roof.
"Who told you this? Who are you here to see? Even you are not allowed to enter the resting place of the female family members without permission. Don't you know this rule?" The uncle Wang on the side also frowned and was embarrassed. Everyone was in a bad mood. If she encountered such a thing while attending a wedding, it would be fine if it was an ordinary lady. At most, Mo Jinglin would just marry her. But it happened to be a princess, and a princess who had been designated as the imperial consort. Being dragged into this by Concubine Xianzhao, they had to wade through this muddy water even if they didn't want to. At this time, the expressions of the people present when looking at Princess Qixia were almost the same as looking at a slut. How could Princess Qixia not know what the expressions of the people meant? She quickly shook her head and said, "No... It's not me. I have never sent a message to the prince."
The old prince snorted lightly, stroked his gray beard and glanced at Princess Qixia and said, "No? Then how come Prince Li happened to be in the princess's room? At that time, the female relatives were either drinking tea and chatting together, or the young girls were playing in the garden. Why was the princess also in the room? More importantly... Zhaoyang didn't seem to come to the wedding banquet, so why was the princess here?" The old prince's questions were thrown out one after another, which seemed a bit aggressive. But now everyone was in a bad mood and obviously had no time to sympathize with Princess Qixia, a foreign princess. Princess Qixia shook her head in a panic, and for a long time she didn't have the arrogance she had seen before. Princess Qixia glanced at the expressionless people in the flower hall in panic, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed in a direction and said, "It's her! She must have framed me and the prince!"
Ye Li, who was also shot while lying down, said that her guess a few days ago was correct, and that foreign princesses all had problems with their brains.
"Put down your hand, otherwise, I don't mind if you never have to fight again in your life." Mo Xiuyao looked at the excited Princess Qixia calmly and said lightly. Princess Qixia couldn't help but shudder, and unconsciously leaned towards Mo Jingli, not noticing the resentment flashing in Ye Ying's eyes who was sitting next to her.
"In Da Chu, I only have a grudge against her." Princess Qixia bit her lip and said, "There is also Prince Li, Prince Li also has a grudge against her, this is something everyone knows." Princess Qixia is not really stupid, she knows very well that if she is considered to have seduced Prince Li, with her future status as the imperial concubine, even if Da Chu kills her, Nanzhao will not stand up for her. So she must push the responsibility away. But for a moment, she really couldn't figure out who wanted to take revenge on her, and among the people present, only Ye Li had a grudge against her, so pushing the crime on her was the best choice.
"Princess Ding?" Everyone was stunned.
Ye Li sighed helplessly and said softly, "Princess, the prince and I arrived at the palace with our prince at about 3:30 pm. After that, we went to see the concubine and the ladies. It was about 3:30 pm when I left with my fourth sister. We chatted in the garden for less than a quarter of an hour, and then met with the three young ladies from Huafu, Qinfu, and General Murong's mansion. After that, we stayed in the garden to chat. There were many young ladies in the garden. I believe everyone can testify. In addition, when we found the two... It was less than 2:55 pm, which means that it was less than an hour from the time I arrived at Prince Li's mansion to the time the incident occurred. In fact, the only time that could make people suspicious was the time when my fourth sister and I were together. That is, from 3:55 pm to 1:55 pm. Princess Qixia did not seem to receive the invitation and arrived at the palace before me and the prince. Princess, how do you think I could know that the princess was in Prince Li's mansion and knew her exact whereabouts in just a quarter of an hour, and then have someone send a message to lure Prince Li over? Hmm?"
Ye Li's words not only explained his whereabouts, but also cleared him of the suspicion of collusion with Ye Ying.
"Haha, Princess Ding missed a little bit... We also have to deduct the time of Prince Li and the princess... So, Princess Ding doesn't even have that one minute." Mo Jingyi smiled while shaking her fan.
After hearing this, everyone looked at Princess Qixia with even more hostility. She had done something shameless, yet someone else had accused her and framed Princess Ding.
Princess Qixia was choked. She didn't really expect to convict Ye Li just like this. She just hoped to delay the time and let her breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Ye Li exposed her lie on the spot. Princess Qixia was at a loss for a moment and could only cry, "Wuwu... It's really none of my business..."
"Enough!" Mo Jingli, who had been silent all this time, stared at Ye Li for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "You don't have to force her anymore. I will be responsible."
"Bang!" The old prince was so angry that he slammed the table. He stared at Mo Jingli with a pale face, and the finger he pointed at him kept shaking. "Asshole! Are you responsible? What are you responsible for? What do you think you are doing? A man should take responsibility for his actions." Mo Jingyi smiled and stepped forward to support the old prince and said, "Uncle Emperor, calm down. Prince Li probably forgot that Princess Qixia was the princess chosen by his brother. The Concubine is our brother's sister-in-law. Calm down, calm down..." If he hadn't said anything, the old prince would not have been so angry. After he said that, the old prince's anger immediately rose to another level, "You idiot! Have you learned all your sense of propriety and integrity? Forget it... This king doesn't care about this matter, and I can't care about it. You can do whatever you want?" In anger, the old prince gave up.
Concubine Xian Zhao quickly comforted him, "Your Highness, please calm down. Jing Li is ignorant and that's why he said such nonsense. Your Highness, as his uncle, please don't blame him. Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The old prince glanced at her and snorted, "Is he ignorant? He is indeed ignorant. It's just what you are used to. Look at what he has done this year. Which of them can be done by a normal person? I think he will break the sky sooner or later." The old prince was very dissatisfied with his nephew since Mo Jingli insisted on canceling the engagement. The marriage was granted by the late emperor when he was alive, and the other party was the granddaughter of the Xu family. As long as Miss Ye has not committed any major offense, you should be patient no matter how dissatisfied you are. Now it seems that Miss Ye San is fine, but Miss Ye Si, who he is determined to marry, is not presentable.
Concubine Xianzhao hid the displeasure in her eyes and could only try her best to put on a smile for the old prince. The emperor didn't need them to talk to him. If they really let Mo Jingli go like this, the emperor's wrath would make him very angry and he would be severely punished even if he didn't die.
Finally, after the old prince had turned off the fire, he continued to ask, "Where did the messenger go? You must remember what he looks like, right? Also, who brought Princess Qixia in?" Some time ago, there were rumors about Prince Li and Princess Qixia in the capital. Princess Zhaoyang was the most polite, and after the emperor issued an order, he had been restraining Princess Qixia from going out. Even this time, Princess Zhaoyang did not come to Mo Jingli's wedding, so how did Princess Qixia come?
"I...I..." Princess Qixia said aggrievedly, "When I came, the people at the door didn't stop me." She came early, and had been to Prince Li's mansion many times before, and many people in Prince Li's mansion knew her. So even though she didn't have a badge, the people in the mansion didn't stop her.
The steward of Prince Li's mansion came in to report that some spices used in some places to enhance pleasure were found in the room just now. Everyone in the room was speechless. Princess Qixia came to Prince Li's mansion by herself, but the servants of Prince Li's mansion did not report it to the master, so he did not know about it. And Mo Jingli had no idea what was going on. He just listened to the message and completely ignored the male and female barriers and came to the place where the women rested. And then...
This is not a coincidence, this is a melodrama. Ye Li said silently in her heart, it seems that this time the emperor's beauty who has not yet been obtained is destined to fly away.
"Okay, let's wait for the Queen Mother to arrive and then make the arrangements. Also, quickly send someone to inform Princess Zhaoyang to take Princess Qixia back!" The old prince said impatiently, turned his head to look at Mo Xiu Yao and added, "Xiu Yao, what do you think?" Mo Xiu Yao smiled gently and politely, "You are the elder, and everything is up to you." The others also quickly expressed that they would follow the old prince's lead.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother really cared about her little son. She arrived before Princess Zhaoyang. Of course, this was also because Prince Li's Mansion was the closest to the Imperial Palace. The Queen Mother came in angrily in a bright yellow phoenix robe and said, "I haven't even left the palace yet and you sent someone to tell me something happened. What happened on such a happy day? Didn't you lose face enough at the last wedding?"
Ye Ying's face turned pale, but unfortunately she didn't dare to confront the Queen Mother directly. She could only hide aside and keep silent.
Everyone stood up and greeted each other. The Queen Mother sat down and listened to the old prince and Concubine Xian Zhao's story. Before the two finished speaking, the Queen Mother was furious and scolded Mo Jingli harshly. The Queen Mother scolded her son, so she didn't dare to interrupt and could only listen. Several women who had nothing to do with the matter wanted to bet their ears and secretly swore in their hearts that they would never come to the Prince Li's mansion again in a few days.
When the Queen Mother finally vented her anger, Mo Jingli and Princess Qixia had already knelt on the ground and begged the Queen Mother for forgiveness. The Queen Mother looked at Mo Jingli for a long time, and her expression finally softened. She sighed and said to the old prince: "My brother, what do you think we should do about this matter?" The old prince stroked his beard and said: "Since the Queen Mother is here, this matter should naturally be decided by the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother sighed with a sad look on her face: "This matter... is really damaging to the emperor's face. Even if I come forward to plead for mercy, I am afraid it will not be able to dispel the emperor's anger." The old prince certainly understood what the Queen Mother meant, "Speaking of it, Jingli did such a mess, and it was also because we, the uncles, failed to discipline him. This prince and my brother will go to the palace in person to plead for Jingli later. I only hope that the emperor can give this face to this prince."
The Queen Mother smiled gratefully and said, "My brother is the uncle that the Emperor respects the most. The Emperor will certainly not offend my brother. Li'er, why don't you thank your uncle quickly?"
Mo Jingli said in a deep voice: "Jingli thanks uncle, thanks Uncle Wang."
The old prince snorted and ignored him. The queen mother was naturally very satisfied with the old prince's promise. Although the old prince is no longer involved in state affairs, he is still very popular among the royal family. As long as he is willing to plead for mercy, most of the princes will give him face. Even if the emperor is angry, he can't punish him severely. Concubine Xianzhao was also very satisfied. She looked at Mo Jingli and Princess Qixia and asked softly, "Sister Queen Mother, what do you think of Princess Qixia..."
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "I will go back and discuss this with the Emperor, and we will think of a way to let her marry in a few days." The Queen Mother did not hide this from the ladies present. Princess Qixia's status was different, and unless she never had to see anyone in her life, this matter would get out sooner or later. Now that she had spoken out, the smart people present naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
"I don't agree!"
"I don't agree either!" Two female voices came out one after another, making everyone stunned again. The person inside was naturally Ye Ying, who was pale and about to fall. Outside, Princess Lingyun was dressed in red, looking as glamorous as fire. The red veil was lifted up but not pulled down, and her almond eyes were emitting flames. She stood at the door, glaring at the people in the flower hall with her chin raised, and said, "This princess doesn't agree. You Dongchu people, don't even think about humiliating this princess like this!" Beside Princess Lingyun, Lei Tengfeng sullenly glanced at the audience and said in a cold voice, "Queen Mother, isn't Dongchu going too far by doing this?"
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises.
Before anyone could say anything, Princess Lingyun had already strode into the hall and walked to Mo Jingli and Princess Qixia. In front of everyone, she slapped Princess Qixia in the face quickly and fiercely, "Bitch!" Princess Qixia's face suddenly turned red, and even a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her lips. As if she was not satisfied enough, Princess Lingyun raised her head to hit again, but Mo Jingli grabbed her and said, "Have you made enough trouble?"
Princess Ling Yun sneered disdainfully, shook off Mo Jingli's hand and sneered, "No matter how much trouble this princess makes, she will never be shameless enough to seduce the groom at someone else's wedding banquet. This kind of person is actually a princess of a country, which really makes all the princesses lose face! I heard that you have been clinging to Prince Li in the past? In the past, you could seduce whoever you wanted to seduce, and this princess had no control over it. But you did this at my wedding, which is a provocation to me."
The Queen Mother frowned and said in a deep voice: "Princess Lingyun, Prince Li and Princess Qixia were framed innocently. If you are dissatisfied, I will ask Prince Li to pay you back with gifts and apologize. Don't make trouble in front of so many princes and ladies now." Princess Lingyun sneered, raised her hand to pull off the red veil on her head and threw it on the ground, saying: "Pay back with gifts and apologize? This princess can't afford it! This princess will not marry, you can do whatever you want? Anyway, if there is this bastard, there is no me, and I am no her!" Concubine Xianzhao said: "What do you want, Princess?" Princess Lingyun said proudly: "Let Prince Li kill this bastard with his own hands, and this princess can pretend that nothing happened."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. Mo Jingli protected Princess Qixia behind him and stared at Princess Lingyun and said, "You are crazy. She is the Princess of Nanzhao."
"So what? I am still the Princess of Xiling. How could I be afraid of such a small country as Nanzhao?" Princess Lingyun raised her eyebrows.
Lei Tengfeng looked at everyone coldly and said, "It seems that Ling Yun is right. Dong Chu really doesn't take Daling seriously. In this case, I don't think it's necessary to hold the wedding today. Prince Li, what do you think?" Mo Jingli remained silent. Princess Ling Yun snorted coldly and said, "Brother, now you see it. They don't take us seriously at all."
Lei Tengfeng glanced at Princess Lingyun calmly and said, "Pack up your things and go back. Go to the palace immediately to bid farewell to the Emperor of Dongchu, and we will set off for home in a while."
"Yes." Princess Lingyun glanced at Princess Qixia and Mo Jingli with disdain. There was no humiliation of the wedding being cancelled halfway in her eyes. She was obviously very satisfied with it.
"Prince, this matter can be discussed. This is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Prince, please do not act on impulse." The old prince sighed and stood up to persuade him. Lei Tengfeng said indifferently: "Thank you for your concern, but it is indeed Dongchu who went too far in this matter, not Xiling who was rude first. I believe that even if it goes to the Emperor of Dongchu, we will not be in the right. Prince Ding, Princess Ding, please help us to be fair. What do you think is right or wrong?"
Ye Li secretly hated Lei Tengfeng for cunningly dragging them into this. Under the gaze of everyone, she smiled reservedly and said, "Your Highness, it is true that there are untrue things about His Royal Highness Prince Li and Princess Qixia, but there are still many unresolved questions. More importantly, this matter is a complete accident. Our Dongchu's sincerity towards your country is absolutely beyond doubt. Your Highness will not deny this point, right?" Didn't you bring Princess Lingyun here for the purpose of marriage? I really don't believe that you would be willing to take her back.
The old prince looked at Ye Li with appreciation and said with a smile, "Princess Ding is right. We will do our best to compensate Princess Lingyun for what Prince Li has done to her. If this affects the friendship between our two countries, it would be absolutely inappropriate. Please think twice, my prince."
Seeing Lei Tengfeng's thoughtful expression, Princess Lingyun frowned and said anxiously, "Brother Wang!"
Lei Tengfeng glanced at her indifferently, looked at the empress dowager and said, "Ling Yun is the most beloved princess of the emperor's uncle. No one would let her suffer any grievances at home. I wonder how Dong Chu wants to compensate Ling Yun?" Princess Ling Yun was slightly shocked, with a hint of disappointment on her face, but she dared not speak again under Lei Tengfeng's indifferent gaze.
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "What compensation does the prince want?"
Lei Tengfeng's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "The future prince of Li must be born to Ling Yun. Most importantly, Princess Qixia can never have any status, including concubine or above. She can never have the flesh and blood of Li Wang."
