Chapter 64 The Death of Xiaoman
However, Yang Qing only dared to think these words in her heart, and dared not ask them around, let alone go to Empress Ming's place to say them like Princess He Hua did.
Even if the Crown Prince's affair is truly related to Li Shangxuan, what can be done about it?
The person is already dead, and now it is Li Shangxuan who is going to take that position. He is willing to pretend to be a filial son. Even Empress Ming can't do anything about it.
Princess Hehua gained neither benefit nor harm; she sought nothing but to sow discord everywhere.
That is, if she had encountered Li Shangxuan, who had just become emperor, a few years after her ascension to the throne, he would have thoroughly investigated and punished Empress Ming and the Prince's Mansion from top to bottom, and none of them would have fared well.
My thoughts returned to the present, and before me stood the domineering face of Princess Hua.
Her eyebrows shot up, and she angrily rebuked, "You're really sharp-tongued! How dare you! You're just the daughter of a minor official of the fifth rank, while I'm a county princess. How dare you speak to me like that? Guards, slap her!"
The maid standing nearby froze, not daring to step forward.
Their master may lack brains, but they certainly do. Even if they aren't phoenixes now, they will become phoenixes in the future.
If they settle scores later, they won't have a chance to survive.
Princess Hehua was even more furious when she saw that none of the maids she had brought dared to move. She kicked the nearest maid first, saying, "You ungrateful wretches, you don't even listen to me anymore! When we get back to the Prince's mansion, I'll skin you alive!"
The maid who was kicked immediately knelt down, disregarding whether the ground was flat or not.
The remaining maids were also pale-faced. They naturally knew that what Princess Hua had just said was not just empty threats.
This county magistrate truly said it, and she did it.

The second madam sneered a few times, clapped her hands, and said sarcastically, "Unbelievable, truly remarkable! Our fourth young lady is really amazing, she has improved so much. This time she directly beat up the county princess. I wonder who you will beat up next time. Give me, your mother, a definite answer, so that I don't get another big surprise next time."
Yang Qing glared hatefully at Xiao Man beside her. This brat is pretending to be well-behaved now. She's just a little girl standing there, looking obedient and well-behaved. Who would have thought that she was the one who caused all this trouble?
Princess Hehua ordered her men to attack them, but the Xu family brought so many people, about ten times the number of Princess Hehua's men.
Even a hero can't fight off four hands with two fists, let alone when the opponents are all young women, not some kind of martial arts master.
It would have been fine if they had blocked it, but Xiaoman, in her old habit, rushed up and beat up Princess Hehua first.
Although Yang Qing felt quite satisfied at the time, Princess Hua was really annoying and deserved to be beaten.
Faced with the Second Madam's accusations, Yang Qing was not afraid at all. "Mother, don't worry. Prince Ruiyang would never dare to make a fuss about this, let alone complain to the court."
The second madam wasn't entirely convinced, giving her a suspicious look. "You're so sure of yourself, but I've heard about this county princess's reputation. She's the most arrogant one out there. I doubt she'll give you, the future crown princess, any face."
Yang Qing said, "Mother, what are you thinking now? She's in the wrong here."
She lowered her voice and whispered, "She insists that the Crown Prince is involved in the death of the First Prince, and that when the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat suffer. That's why she's been so persistent with me."
The second wife was unaware of court affairs, but she was not stupid. Anything related to the establishment of an heir was a matter of utmost importance, and it was not something to be casually discussed.
She was startled. "If that's the case, then we really don't need to worry. Not only will Prince Ruiyang not complain, but he will also ask us not to spread it."
Her expression finally softened, and she glared at Xiaoman. If Doukou had been in charge of dealing with these people, she would have already started scolding them for only knowing how to cause trouble. But Xiaoman was Li Shangxuan's person, so she couldn't openly curse her. However, she still felt a tightness in her chest. She held back and held back, but still couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, "I really don't know where this girl got the guts. Even if she's from the Eastern Palace, she should be properly disciplined."
Yang Qing pretended not to hear.
Training her? Who can train her?
That damn Xiaoman, she pretends not to hear when I curse her, and when I hit her, she runs away so fast that she leaps onto the roof in an instant.
Yang Qing didn't want to talk to her at all, and just pretended not to see her. Out of sight, out of mind.
