Chapter 174 Overturning the Table
Regent's Palace.
Xiao Fuguang finally woke up, feeling as if his whole body had been run over by wheels, and he felt sore with the slightest movement.
The sunlight has already penetrated into the house. Just look at the time when you wake up to know how long the war lasted last night.
But the place next to him was cold. Xuanyuan Jing actually got up?
Is the gap between men and women really that big?
Xiao Fuguang struggled to get up. His pajamas were dry and the bed sheets had been changed. This person was quite considerate.
"Stars and Moon."
Xingyue came in and looked at Xiao Fuguang with a smile on her face.
"The princess is awake."
"When the prince got up, he specifically told me not to disturb the princess's sleep."
Xiao Fuguang stood up and sat up, feeling some discomfort there. What kind of medicine did Concubine Hui give him? It was really crazy.
"Where's the prince?"
Xingyue responded.
"The prince went to court this morning and just came back to go to the peony garden."
Peony garden.
Concubine Hui looked at Xuanyuan Jing with a cold expression and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Jing'er!"
Xuanyuan Jing bowed to Concubine Hui.
"Thank you, Concubine Hui, for taking care of me when I was a child, and thank you for taking care of An Ning. I have already bought a house for her in a prosperous area of the imperial city, so that she can live in peace in her old age."
Although she had heard similar words last night, Concubine Hui still found it hard to believe when she heard them again today.
"Jing'er, do you really want to drive Concubine Hui away?"
"I don't have any princes or princesses, and for so many years I've always treated you and An Ning as my own children. Now that I'm old, you want to drive me away?"
Xuanyuan Jing's expression was firm, and there was no wavering in his eyes.
"Empress Dowager Hui, I have never forgotten your kindness to me and An Ning. However, this matter concerns the reputation and peace of the palace, and even the face of the entire imperial family. Your actions last night have crossed my bottom line."
"I know you have my best interests at heart, but your approach is deeply wrong. What happened with Nanyou is unforgivable. I will not keep anyone who attempts to destroy the relationship between me and my princess."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She did not expect Xuanyuan Jing's attitude to be so resolute. She looked at Xuanyuan Jing, trying to impress him with her past affection, with a hint of pleading in her voice.
"Jing'er, can you please consider our past friendship..."
Nan You suddenly ran out at this moment and knelt in front of Xuanyuan Jing.
"Your Highness, this is all Nanyou's fault. She is shameless and will be kicked out of the palace immediately. I only ask Your Highness not to be angry with your aunt. Your Highness has always been very important to your aunt. What happened last night was because you were worried about your offspring and inheritance, so you resorted to such a desperate measure."
As he said this, he kowtowed.
"Your Highness, in my aunt's heart, you have always been my child. If you feel that Nanyou is not satisfied after being kicked out of the palace again, you can punish her as you please."
Xuanyuan Jing just glanced at her lightly, not wanting to say a single extra word to her, but looked at Concubine Hui.
"My Lady Dowager, if we continue to argue, it will only embarrass each other."
She had already bowed her head, but he remained indifferent, which made Concubine Hui's heart heaving with anger.
"Okay, okay, you've grown up and don't need me anymore. Xuanyuan Jing, you're so cruel."
At this time, An Ning also came to the Peony Garden. Seeing that Concubine Hui was very angry, she stepped forward to support her and spoke to her.
"Mother."
Xuanyuan Jing glanced at An Ning.
"An Ning, since you are here, please help Concubine Hui pack her things."
The main courtyard of the Regent's Palace.
Xiao Fuguang was preparing to have breakfast, oh no, should I say lunch.
Jiang Yuan came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Princess, this is what the prince asked me to prepare. Please drink it after dinner."
Xiao Fuguang looked at the black medicine and frowned.
"What's this?"
Jiang Yuan spoke with a guilty conscience after hearing this.
"Is this a tonic?"
Xiao Fuguang looked at him fiercely.
"tonic?"
"Are you sure?"
I'm not sure, Jiang Yuan felt even more guilty.
"Princess, this is what the prince asked to prepare..."
Xiao Fuguang's eyes became colder and colder.
"Jiang Yuan, I am the mistress of this palace, right?"
Jiang Yuan lowered his head and responded.
"yes."
Xiao Fuguang's gaze became even sharper.
"Tell me, what medicine is this?"
Under Xiao Fuguang's sharp gaze, Jiang Yuan suddenly knelt down.
"It's contraceptive soup!"
Xiao Fuguang was furious and overturned the table, causing the food and contraceptive soup on the table to spill all over the floor.
Xingyue had been with her for so long, but this was the first time she saw the young lady lose her temper so much, and she quickly knelt down.
"Miss!"
My Lord, this job of yours is simply asking for my life, Jiang Yuan said with his head down.
"Princess, calm down."
Xiao Fuguang scolded angrily.
"Get out."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuan hurriedly got up and left. The princess had sent the order, and everything was over.
My Lord, you're on your own.
In the study.
With An Ning around, Concubine Hui should leave soon. Thinking of Xiao Fuguang, Xuanyuan Jing picked up the memorial and then put it down again.
Jiang Yuan rushed in hurriedly.
“Your Highness…”
Xuanyuan Jing glanced at him and frowned.
"If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Why are you being so reckless?"
Jiang Yuan looked at him with an anxious expression.
"There's no way to talk this out, Your Majesty. The princess overturned the table and spilled the contraceptive soup. You..."
He actually flipped the table? It seemed that he was really angry. Xuanyuan Jing stood up helplessly and walked towards the main courtyard.
Jiang Yuan followed a few steps behind, not wanting to catch up. What should he do? If he had known earlier, he would have switched with Lu Xiu today.
Main courtyard.
The mess on the ground had been cleaned up, and Xiao Fuguang sat aside with a cold look on his face.
Xuanyuan Jing walked in.
"Fu Guang..."
Xiao Fuguang spoke in a cold voice.
"go out!"
