Xiao Heng continued, "You are the granddaughter of the King of Hezhong. No matter what the feud between Second Uncle and the Yanbei Palace is, Second Uncle would never dare to harm you, so you can stay out of this matter. Now that Xiao Jingxi is dead, if you are willing, Second Uncle will send you back after a while, or send you to the King of Hezhong."
Still no one spoke.
"Niece-in-law, can you please let Xiao Jingyue come out and meet me? No matter what nonsense he said or did, as his father, I apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't bother with this bastard."
Xiao Heng waited for a while, but there was still no news from Zhaoning Palace, and no one responded to his words. He couldn't help but frown, and couldn't help but start to worry about his only son.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Heng finally said, "Niece-in-law, you may not want to listen to your second uncle, but you're definitely willing to listen to the old princess, right?"
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this.
Then a sharp voice was heard outside: "Xiao Heng, what do you want to do! Why did you bring me here!" It was the voice of the old princess.
Xiao Heng seemed to have whispered a few words to the old princess, but the old princess didn't appreciate it and angrily scolded, "You suddenly had people surround my Shou'an Palace before, and now you brought me here against my will. What do you want to do?"
Xiao Heng smiled when he heard this: "Mother, Yue'er is still in Zhaoning Palace. Can you ask my niece's wife to let her out?"
"Xiao Jingyue is in Zhaoning Palace, why did you bring me here!" said the old princess dissatisfiedly.
Xiao Heng ignored her and shouted to Zhaoyang Palace, "My niece-in-law, everyone says you're filial. I'm sure you don't want to see what happens to the old princess, right? Let Yue'er out, and I'll let the old princess go in to rest. How about that?"
The old princess finally understood that Xiao Heng actually wanted to exchange her for Xiao Jingyue. She couldn't help but yelled in anger: "You beast..."
Unfortunately, she stopped talking before she could finish her words, because a guard behind Xiao Heng stepped forward and put a knife to her neck.
Xiao Heng didn't even look at the old princess. He just said, "My niece, if you don't care about the old princess's life or death, it's unacceptable, right? As long as you send Yue'er back, I won't pursue what happened today. How about that?"
Ren Yaoqi was amused by his shamelessness, but still did not say anything, just listening to him performing a one-man show outside.
Concubine Yun suddenly said, "Let me come out. You stay quiet here."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Concubine Yun, who laughed. "He's using the old princess to threaten you. If you don't save her, you'll inevitably be criticized in the future. However, there's one person in this world who would think it's perfectly natural for outsiders to watch her die. That person is me. What a joke! Everyone knows that woman Li and I are irreconcilable. Only a blind person would think I would want to save her."
Concubine Yun patted Ren Yaoqi's hand and shouted to the outside, "That evil creature Xiao Jingyue dared to attack an elder like me just now. I have ordered his men to tie him up. I will deal with him later. As for the person you brought, take him back. I don't want to see her."
Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, then said: "The Queen Mother? My nephew's wife..."
Concubine Yun said coldly, "How dare you mention it! She's been frightened by your actions and has fainted! If anything happens to her, I won't forgive you!"
Ren Yaoqi fainted from shock: "..." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
