Seeing the fury on Prince Chen's face, and seeing Yun Qianmeng's fragile appearance at the moment, Emperor Yugan finally relented!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing the answer that satisfied him, Yun Qianmeng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Emperor Yugan in a clear voice to thank him!
"Mother, please take care of the remaining matters! I still have something to discuss with Minister Chu!" Seeing that this farce was finally over, Emperor Yugan spoke respectfully to the empress dowager. However, at the end, his eyes, which concealed a fierceness, lightly glanced at Yun Qianmeng who had kept her head down!
The Queen Mother was disappointed when she saw Emperor Yugan's words, but she remained calm and said kindly, "State affairs are urgent. I will take the child back to the palace first!"
After she finished speaking, she led everyone out of the Golden Palace. However, when she passed by Chu Feiyang, the Queen Mother paused for a moment, and glanced at Chu Feiyang with a gentle gaze that was tinged with sternness...
But at this moment, Chu Feiyang still had a faint smile on his face, completely unfazed by the Queen Mother's dignified gaze. His attention was completely focused on Yun Qianmeng, who had never even looked at him...
"Empress Dowager, I have something else to attend to. I'll take my leave now!" As soon as he stepped out of the hall, Prince Chen found an excuse to leave. However, his last glance was towards Yun Qianmeng. His eyes, filled with anger, shot straight at Yun Qianmeng, as if to pierce her body...
The departure of the crowd caused the Queen Mother to lose her smile, and she looked coldly at Yun Qianmeng, who had just acted on her own initiative...
"Empress Dowager, could you please let Qiulian go for Meng'er's sake?" Unexpectedly, Yun Qianmeng actually spoke up to plead for Qiulian!
This made the Queen Mother feel surprised for a moment, but then she understood the reason behind it. She turned her reproachful gaze towards Yun Xuanzhi and spoke in a slightly cold voice, "That girl is committing an act of disobedience. Meng'er, please don't worry about her anymore! If you are afraid of being blamed by the concubines in the mansion, then ride on my phoenix sedan chair and return home today!"
Afterwards, the Queen Mother pulled out a palm-sized gold token from her sleeve and handed it to Shui'er, who was supporting Yun Qianmeng, and instructed, "If Miss has any business in the mansion, this token will allow you and Bing'er to enter and exit my palace freely!"
After saying this, the Queen Mother did not linger any longer and left the palace with her palace maids, leaving behind an embarrassed Yun Xuanzhi and a calm Yun Qianmeng...
At this time, in the Yun Xiang Mansion, Su Qing, a concubine, was waiting for her husband to return with a smile on her face...
News from the palace always leaks out quickly. As soon as Yun Qianmeng hit the pillar, I'm afraid all the official residences in the capital have received the news!
However, no matter whether Yun Qianmeng is really dead or faking her death, I am afraid that she will become the object of everyone's ridicule from today on!
This made Su Qing's eyes flash with pride. How could she not be happy that she could get rid of a thorn in her side without having to do anything herself?
Yun Ruoxue, supported by four maids, walked into her mother's bedroom. Seeing Su Qing's smile, she couldn't help but smile as well. She said happily, "It's been a long time since I've seen mother so happy!"
Seeing his precious daughter coming in, Su Qing's face was filled with joy. He beckoned Yun Ruoxue to sit beside him and slowly told her the news he had just received...
"Mother, this is serious!" Yun Ruoxue was already smiling happily at this time, and she couldn't express the joy in her heart in words!
If Yun Qianmeng is really dead, the day when my mother becomes my father's legal wife is just around the corner!
If Yun Qianmeng survived by chance, she would always bear the reputation of having her engagement broken off. Even though she was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, she would probably never be able to find a husband of her dreams in this life!
Thinking of this, Yun Ruoxue was even more overjoyed, and she only hoped that her father would come back soon...
"Madam, the master will be at the prime minister's residence soon!" As she was speaking, the servant at the door came to report!
The mother and daughter smiled at each other, then stood up, straightened their clothes, and, surrounded by the maids and servants, hurried towards the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion...
"Huh? Why is it a phoenix chariot? Didn't they say that father was back?" A golden and glorious phoenix chariot slowly came into everyone's sight, but Yun Xuanzhi's official sedan chair was nowhere to be seen. This made Yun Ruoxue ask Su Qing beside her in some confusion!
At this moment, Su Qing had already put away the smile on his face. He frowned slightly as he watched the approaching Phoenix Chariot, and a plan came to his mind...
The phoenix chariot slowly stopped at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. Shui'er and Bing'er immediately opened the curtain and carefully helped the person out...
The hem of a skirt stained with dark red blood caught everyone's attention as the person inside walked...
Yun Qianmeng stepped out of the Phoenix Chariot, her forehead wrapped in layers of white gauze, a trace of bright red blood faintly floating on the white gauze...
Yun Qianmeng's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. Even with Shui'er and Bing'er supporting her, she still looked weak!
A look of gloating sarcasm appeared in Yun Ruoxue's eyes. Without waiting for Su Qing to hold her back, she walked gracefully towards Yun Qianmeng and blocked her at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
"What's wrong with you, sister? Aren't you going to the palace to enjoy the good life this time? Why did you get yourself like this?" Yun Ruoxue took a big step in front of Yun Qianmeng and spoke sarcastically. Especially after seeing the bloodstains on Yun Qianmeng's face that had not been cleaned up, she laughed even more unscrupulously!
But at this time, Yun Qianmeng was looking at Su Qing through Yun Ruoxue. She saw that she had originally raised her feet but retracted them. She looked at Yun Ruoxue humiliating her with a smile on her face but did not say a word to stop her. It was obvious that Su Qing wanted to laugh at her through Yun Ruoxue!
At this time, the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion had obviously attracted a lot of people because of the arrival of the phoenix chariot. Everyone was curious about the life in this mansion, and they were not afraid of the emperor's power and just watched the joke!
Yun Qianmeng tilted her head slightly, watching Yun Xuanzhi's official sedan approaching from behind. She brushed aside Shui'er Bing'er who was supporting her and said loudly, "Since when has the concubine's daughter of the Prime Minister's residence been exempted from the formal formalities when meeting her elder sister? Is this how Concubine Su teaches her daughters? And she's still so arrogant at the Prime Minister's residence today. Does she completely disregard her father's image of integrity and honesty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to discuss in low voices, and all eyes were cast at Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue!
However, Su Qing and the others were completely dumbfounded. They had no idea when Yun Qianmeng had become so powerful.
Especially now, even though she had a forehead injury, she still exuded a fierce aura that made everyone want to bow down to her...
Yun Ruoxue, who was standing in front of her, felt the most profoundly. Seeing Yun Qianmeng's menacing eyes staring directly at her, Yun Ruoxue couldn't help but take a step back. However, when she saw the phoenix chariot behind Yun Qianmeng, she forced a sneer on her lips. "Sister, did you hit your head? Or is it because you're relying on the Queen Mother's support that you're so cruel to us illegitimate children? Ruoxue knows that Sister looks down on us from the bottom of her heart! However, I'm afraid that what happened to Sister today has spread throughout the capital. Do you still have the nerve to return to the Prime Minister's Residence? Aren't you afraid of bringing disgrace to the Prime Minister's Residence?"
At this moment, Su Qing, who had been standing at the door, also came over. A hint of hatred flashed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, but as she approached Yun Qianmeng, she spoke gently, "Young lady, why are you so angry? It was Prince Chen who canceled your marriage with him. It has nothing to do with us. Why are you taking your anger out on us? Do you think we're easy targets?"
After she finished speaking, both mother and daughter shed tears...
For a moment, everyone's attention turned to Yun Qianmeng again. With such shocking news coming out, all kinds of discussions and speculations began to arise...
"Shut up!" At this time, Yun Xuanzhi got out of the sedan chair and rushed over. His already ugly face became even gloomier after hearing Su Qing talk about Yun Qianmeng in public!
"Father! Meng'er knows in her heart that without my mother to rule over me, the concubines and step-sisters in this Prime Minister's Mansion don't take me seriously! This time, because of something I can't control, they want to kick me out of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Father, if this huge Prime Minister's Mansion can't accommodate Meng'er, then Meng'er should go to the Empress Dowager's Palace. At least the Empress Dowager still treats me sincerely!" Seeing Yun Xuanzhi appear, Yun Qianmeng's figure trembled slightly, her eyebrows knitted, and tears immediately slid down her eyes. She cried out in pain...
When everyone heard this, they all realized that the prime minister's mansion must be dominated by concubines, and they couldn't help but feel pity for the eldest daughter who had lost her mother...
When Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue heard Yun Qianmeng's crying, their hands that were originally wiping away their tears stopped, their hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but look at Yun Qianmeng, wondering why she was so different today?
Yun Xuanzhi saw everyone's reaction, and when he heard Yun Qianmeng bring up the Queen Mother, he looked at Su Qing and the others with even more anger. Without waiting for Su Qing to explain, he angrily said, "Madam Su, as a female relative, left the house without permission. She is under house arrest for ten days! Yun Ruoxue was disrespectful to my elder sister and showed no regard for the hierarchy. She is under house arrest for half a month!"
