Chapter 20: The Heirless Prince vs. the Concubine (20)



"Mom, Dad, save me, the prince beat me for this little bitch."

At this time, the old princess came over with a group of people.

It’s not the old princess’s fault for being too high-profile. It was because when Taohong was leaving, Liu Ruyue hinted that she must bring more people over.

So, when Taohong ran to the old princess, she only said that something had happened to the prince and princess, and asked the old princess to come quickly.

He left a message saying that he would go back to protect Concubine Yue, then turned around in a hurry and ran back towards the Buddhist temple.

The confused old princess was so anxious when she heard that her son and the pregnant Liu Ruyue were involved that she immediately chased after Taohong.

When the others heard the noise, they followed.

One was to watch the fun, and the other was to see if they could help out if something happened and do a favor by selling the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Little did they know that as soon as the group of people walked in, Princess Liu Mengyao of Prince Yan's Mansion rushed in front of the Shangshu's wife with disheveled clothes and messy hair. Her face was covered with tears and she shouted for help. She looked really pitiful.

Not far away, King Yan Zhao Tinghao was lovingly hugging a beautiful woman.

There was no need for anyone to introduce her. Just by looking at Zhao Tinghao's loving look, everyone had already guessed that the enchanting beauty must be Concubine Yue, who was pregnant with Prince Yan's heir.

The woman in Zhao Tinghao's arms was beautiful and petite. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears and she looked pitiful.

However, because of what Liu Mengyao said just now, all the ladies and gentlemen present regarded her as a vixen who only knew how to seduce men, and took advantage of her pregnancy to instigate Prince Yan to beat up the princess.

No matter how beautiful that face is, I can't like it no matter how stunning it is.

Instead, he felt a little more sympathy for Princess Liu Mengyao who was throwing herself into the arms of the Shangshu's wife.

Even the Shangshu's wife thought the same as others, feeling that her daughter was bullied by a pregnant concubine.

She harbored resentment in her heart, and spoke in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "My Lady, you are the Princess of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. If you suffer injustice in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the old Princess will handle it for you. I, a humble woman, cannot make the decision."

The old princess, who had just carefully observed that Wang'er and Liu Ruyue were unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, upon hearing the Shangshu Madam's sarcastic words, she immediately glared back, "Madam Shangshu, don't you know what your own daughter's temper is like?"

As it concerns the reputation of Prince Yan's Mansion, the old princess does not want to reveal the fact that Liu Mengyao gave the concubines in the mansion contraceptive drugs.

Originally, the Shangshu's wife should have shut up after saying this, but the Shangshu's wife, who always loved her daughter, felt very distressed after seeing the scratches on Liu Mengyao's face. She felt that the Prince of Yan's Mansion was simply too much. They knew that she and her husband would come to the Prince of Yan's Mansion today, but they still tortured their daughter like this.

He tortures his daughter like this in front of his wife and himself, and I don’t know how much more excessive he is behind her back.

Therefore, she said something even more extreme: "Your Majesty, no matter how wrong Your Majesty is, it is because your heart is on Your Majesty, and it is because you love Your Majesty too much.

Even if the prince doesn't care about the princess's love, he shouldn't trample on it like this. How important is a face to a woman? Could it be..."

"hehe!"

Before the Minister's wife finished her words, Zhao Tinghao couldn't help but sneer.

Pushing Liu Ruyue back, Zhao Tinghao took two steps forward, his broad and powerful body completely blocking her. Then, with a sneer, he asked the Shangshu's wife, "What shameless thing did your good daughter, who was handed over by the Shangshu Mansion, do? Didn't your good daughter tell you?"

When the Shangshu's wife heard what Zhao Tinghao said, she thought that he was bringing up the incident of Liu Mengyao drugging the concubines in Prince Yan's Mansion. She felt that he was too stingy as a grown man. He had already given compensation but was still pursuing her.

However, since the other party was the prince, the Shangshu's wife could only suppress her inner dissatisfaction and said in a calm tone, "The reason why the princess made such a mistake is because she admires and cares for you, the prince, too much."

"hehe!"

Zhao Tinghao sneered as if he had heard a funny joke, "Are you having an affair with another man in the Buddhist temple of my Prince Yan's Mansion because you admire and care for me too much?"

"What?"

"An affair?"

"Or are you having an affair in the Buddhist temple?"

As soon as Zhao Tinghao finished speaking, everyone present immediately became noisy.

The old princess disregarded the royal family's dignity and loudly demanded, "My prince, is this bitch having an affair in the Buddhist temple?"

As the old princess asked this question, everyone present looked at Prince Yan Zhao Tinghao.

Seeing the other party nodded angrily, everyone looked at Zhao Tinghao with pity in their eyes.

The Shangshu's wife, who loved her daughter dearly, saw this scene and still insisted, "Your Highness, could there be some misunderstanding?"

Seeing Liu Ruyue, who was being tightly protected by the other party, leaning out from behind to eat the melon, he immediately pointed at the other party and said, "Could it be that some malicious people have framed the princess?

The Empress had mentioned before that Concubine Yue’s horoscope was somewhat unlucky for her, could it be that Concubine Yue was holding a grudge against her…”

"Shut up!"

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

Hearing the Shangshu's wife talking about Liu Ruyue, the old princess and the Prince of Yan shouted at the same time.

The old princess angrily pointed at the Shangshu's wife and cursed: "If you can't speak, don't open your mouth. No one thinks you are dumb.

"Yue'er is the lucky star of our palace, and she's pregnant with our Prince of Yan. If you scare her, I will never forgive you."

Zhao Tinghao also followed his mother and said, "But what Madam Shangshu said does make some sense. Yue'er and Liu Mengyao are indeed incompatible.

Upon entering the palace, Yue'er had smelled the infertility drug in the tonic soup Liu Mengyao had brought. For the previous seven years, Liu Mengyao had drugged dozens of people in my palace with infertility drugs, and no one had noticed. But the moment Yue'er entered, her viciousness was exposed.

For example, today, Yue'er just dreamed of the Concubine Dowager during her nap. She wanted to burn some incense for the Concubine Dowager in the Buddhist temple, but I unexpectedly caught Liu Mengyao having an affair there.

In this case, Yue'er's horoscope is indeed incompatible with Liu Mengyao's.

It's just that it's unfortunate for your Shangshu Mansion. But it's a blessing for my Yanwang Mansion, as it will keep us from being kept in the dark any longer."

The more the Shangshu's wife listened to what Prince Yan Zhao Tinghao said, the more uneasy she felt, especially when she saw the guilty and frightened looks of Nanny Zhang and Cui'e beside Liu Mengyao. She was afraid that what Prince Yan said was true.

However, with a glimmer of hope in her heart, she still asked unwillingly, "Your Majesty, could there be any misunderstanding here?"

"hehe!"

Seeing that the Shangshu Madam was still stubborn at this time, Zhao Tinghao's impression of the Shangshu Mansion became even worse. He sneered at the servant and said, "Drag the adulterer out here and let the Shangshu Madam see the good deeds her good daughter has done!"
