But Duan Qingxi was not afraid at all. She even met the eldest princess's gaze and smiled at her politely.
But the eldest princess saw this smile as a provocation, so she simply lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.
There was naturally a maid accompanying the sedan chair. The maid also knew martial arts and knew that Duan Qingxi was outside.
She said, "Princess, do you want me to go down and kill her now?"
The eldest princess said coldly: "You killed someone in the street, and you really don't dare to touch me as the emperor?"
The maidservant quickly lowered her eyes and said, "This maidservant deserves death! Then... then this maidservant will..."
"No, this is not a good guy!"
Ordinary people would get a little flustered if they looked into her eyes, no matter how arrogant they were. But Duan Qingxi was not afraid at all. I don’t know if she really had the courage, or if the people behind her were too powerful, so she was fearless!
This servant didn't quite understand what the princess meant, so she asked, "Then... what should we do next? The Emperor doesn't want to punish her, and the Empress doesn't want to see us. They both seem to be afraid of Princess Yunle. We can't just kill her privately, and we can't just let it go like this."
The princess narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Of course I can't let this go! She dared to harm my daughter, and I will make her pay the price!"
But how to do it seems that we still need to plan carefully.
After all, she has learned a lot about Duan Qingxi these days, and found out that Princess Yunle is not a simple person. Even when she was young, she did not have the courage like Duan Qingxi!
The sedan chair was heading towards the imperial palace. Only after they had gone quite far did Duan Qingxi take Qiao Yun and Chan Xue onto the carriage.
Qiao Yun asked, "Miss, where are we going next?"
"Let's go back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
The eldest princess had just had an argument with the emperor not long ago, and now she is going to the palace again. Who knows what trouble she will cause.
She didn't know what kind of person the eldest princess was, so just in case, she decided to go back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion first.
As a result, the imperial edict arrived just as the carriage arrived at the Ninth Prince's Mansion and Duan Qingxi had no time to return to his room to rest.
When the eldest princess and Prince Yun came to Beijing, the emperor and empress planned to hold a welcoming banquet for them in the back garden. The emperor also agreed to this, so he also invited many ministers and their female family members to the palace for the gathering.
The eldest princess and the emperor are siblings, so it is a family dinner, so all the princes and princesses have to go.
The banquet is scheduled for tomorrow night. The imperial edict has been delivered here, so Duan Qingxi has no choice but to go.
Chan Xue asked worriedly, "Miss, are we really going?"
Duan Qingxi nodded and said, "Of course I have to go. How can I not go?"
At this moment, Helian Sheng walked in with Su He, "It's okay if you don't go."
When Qiao Yun and Chan Xue saw Empress Helian, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Su He also bowed to Duan Qingxi, "Your subordinate greets the princess."
Duan Qingxi waved at him, "It's okay, you're welcome."
After Helian Sheng sat down beside her, he continued, "This is what the eldest princess wanted to do. She insisted on you entering the palace, most likely to embarrass you. She wouldn't dare say anything if you didn't enter the palace."
Duan Qingxi said, "I'm the one who was wronged, so why am I the one who's retreating now?"
Helian Sheng knew she wouldn't listen to his advice. He looked at her and said softly, "There's no need for my woman to stay away from me. I'm just afraid you'll be wronged, so I don't want to deal with it. If you want to go, that's fine. With my protection, no one else dares to do anything to you."
