The Seventh Princess and her younger sister have always disliked each other and have always been at loggerheads with each other. Now that she sees her sister showing off her power and bullying in front of her mother, she certainly can't just sit back and watch.
Nangong Le looked at the Seventh Princess and pursed her lips. She knew she was in the wrong, but thinking of the news she had just received, she still gritted her teeth and confronted the Seventh Princess.
"Nangong Jue, do you know that your royal brother has a fatal disease? If someone stays with him, they may be infected. Do you want everyone in the palace to be buried with him?"
These accusations were like a sharp knife piercing directly into the hearts of Concubine Xian and the Seventh Princess.
Nangong Jue pursed his lips and said, "You heard it from hearsay. My sixth brother and my sister-in-law are fine. How can you throw all the dirty water on him?"
Nangong Le laughed wildly.
"Then please ask your healthy Sixth Brother to come out and show him to me. If the Sixth Prince is really alright, I will go to my father and ask for punishment myself."
Everyone present knew that this side was not to be seen.
Nangong Jue wanted to argue again, but saw a graceful figure walking out from behind the screen.
"Greetings to the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess. The Sixth Prince is indeed ill. Since the Eighth Sister insists on letting us leave the palace, we will not stay any longer. Mother, we will pack up and go back now."
Pei looks weak on the surface, but she is actually very proud.
She stood straight with her back straight and saw the unruly and headstrong Eight, Princess,
No fear at all.
"Look, Sixth Sister-in-law is still sensible."
After saying this, Nangong Le's gaze drifted towards Nangong Jue from time to time.
The seventh princess, Nangong Jue, was already furious and said in a low voice.
"Sixth sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Sixth brother can't leave the palace now."
"Little sister, this is what your brother wants. His illness has been cured. It doesn't matter where we stay. There is no need to trouble mother and you."
Pei said this sincerely.
Li Tangyi saw them arguing with each other. She pondered for a moment and interrupted rashly.
"Seventh Princess, what Sixth Sister-in-law said is true. It doesn't matter where they go to recuperate at this time. Since they are not happy living in the palace, they might as well go back. What do you think?"
Hearing Li Tangyi say this, Nangong Jue stopped arguing. She looked coldly at the arrogant Nangong Le and spoke directly.
"Mother, I don't know who spread the news that Sixth Brother has a contagious disease. If that's the case, I'll go tell Father that I want to live in Sixth Brother's house. Then we'll see if he can infect me!"
Hearing her say this, Concubine Xian could no longer tolerate it. She threw her sleeves, obviously extremely angry.
"It's just nonsense."
Seeing her mother getting angry, the Seventh Princess seemed unmoved.
"I don't care. I just want to stay with Sixth Brother and prove my innocence when the time comes!"
She is so determined
, no one knew what to say.
Nangong Le achieved his goal and stopped pestering her. Before leaving, he did not forget to bump Li Tangyi with his shoulder.
The virtuous concubine's palace returned to its former tranquility.
But everyone's faces looked unhappy.
The Sixth Prince has recovered now, but he is still very weak. He has unsteady steps when walking and needs someone to support him.
Pei naturally stayed by her husband's side and served him closely, while the little palace maids who served him began to pack up their things swiftly.
Seeing that Concubine Xian was making some noise, Li Tangyi walked over to Nangong Ming.
She was about to speak when she turned around and saw a little girl walking by with her head down, with a red rash on her neck.
The hands that are exposed are also covered with mottled scars.
Li Tangyi was startled and took two steps forward, grabbing the little girl's wrist through her sleeve.
The little girl was holding a brocade box in her hand. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand. She was startled and the emerald green in the box fell to the ground.
"Princess Xiao, what are you doing..."
When Concubine Xian saw Li Tangyi's inappropriate behavior, she was shocked.
She knew that something important must have happened, otherwise Li Tangyi would not be so reckless.
Sure enough, Li Tangyi spoke sternly. She shook the little girl hard and she fell to her knees.
"I asked you earlier if anyone was infected, why didn't you tell me?
I was sick, but you were still waiting by my side."
Li Tangyi felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart.
She was questioning the palace maid in a harsh tone when suddenly the door was pushed open and Nangong Le, who was standing outside, came back.
She might have walked in a hurry, and the beads on her head jingled against each other.
"Okay, you said it's not an infectious disease, but look at the people who have contracted the serious disease. They have all been infected by Sixth Brother, so they should be dragged out and burned alive or buried alive."
When she said this, she was full of pride, with her chin slightly raised, looking as if she regarded human life as worthless.
She never cared about the life of the palace maid, but now she has caught Concubine Xian with something wrong, let's see how she can argue!
Li Tangyi glanced at her sideways, and left and came back. Could it be that Nangong Le also had spies in Concubine Xian's palace?
Nangong Le had never seen such a sharp look before. She shrank her neck in fear and felt a chill on her back, but she did not step back.
"What's that look in your eyes? Li Tangyi, are you going to be a good person? Are you going to heal this palace maid?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Li Tangyi spoke word by word, gritting her teeth.
"She's a life."
After hearing her words, Nangong Le laughed. In their royal family, lives like this were as common as ants.
"Li Tangyi, if Third Brother knew that you had contact with an infectious patient, would he
Will you be allowed to return to the palace? Moreover, everyone in the Xianfei Palace is suspected of being infected, including you, Li Tangyi. I will report to my father and then you will be confined to your homes!"
She looked at Li Tangyi with a provocative smile in her eyes and eyebrows.
Li Tangyi narrowed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart and said.
"I've already told you that although this disease is contagious, you won't be infected as long as you take proper precautions."
"You are talking nonsense! If someone gets such a strange disease, they should be burned immediately. Are you going to ignore the safety of my father and mother? You are so bold. Come on, drag this sick maid away first..."
Li Tangyi walked straight up to her, raised his hand without saying a word, and slapped her.
Nangong Le stopped talking abruptly, and stared at Li Tangyi in disbelief with his hands covering his face.
"You...what are you doing? How dare you hit me?"
She was raised by her father? Her father didn't even dare to touch her, so who was Li Tangyi to dare to hit her?
"Because I am your sister-in-law, and you don't understand human language, I should teach you what human language is! What is human life!"
She can kill people if she disagrees with something. Who indulged her in this bad habit?
Nangong Le clenched his fists, his long nails broke on his palms, and the expression on his face was a little distorted.
"Li Tangyi, you bitch, how dare you hit me? I will kill you today."
