Chapter 185 She Never Allows People to Twist and Roll Her

"I wonder why the Crown Princess wants to see me?"

Looking at Xie Zhuoning's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, Bai Yingxue felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Her family background is better than mine, and she is prettier than me too. The only thing she cannot match is the childhood sweetheart relationship between me and the prince.

But now, even the prince's favor has slowly begun to shift towards her...

With her eyebrows slightly narrowed, Bai Yingxue stood up and walked to the bright red wedding dress embroidered with dragons and phoenixes.

"The wedding dress is complicated and expensive, and the palace maids have rough hands and may damage the dress. I thought Miss Xie was going to be the Crown Princess, so she must know how to wear the dress. How about asking Miss Xie to help me change the dress?"

When Xie Zhuoning heard this, he lowered his head and chuckled.

This couple is really interesting. They are never peaceful even after getting married.

One of them went out of his way to dislike her, and the other treated her like a servant.

Does she look so bad-tempered?

She sat down on the armchair next to her and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do it!"

Before he finished speaking, a palace servant jumped out and accused him, "How dare you! The Crown Princess hasn't even offered you a seat yet, and you dare sit down!"

Xie Zhuo Ninghun didn't care. "The Crown Princess will definitely have other charges against me anyway. What does it matter whether I am granted a throne or not?"

Even if the matter of giving away a seat becomes a big deal, at most the person will be reprimanded and the matter will be over.

Bai Yingxue specially sent someone to call her over at this moment. She wouldn't just scold her for some irrelevant itching, right?

Seeing her knowing look, Bai Yingxue was a little surprised, "Knowing this, you still dare to come?"

With the corners of his mouth raised slightly, Xie Zhuoning smiled and said, "If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have punished me for disrespecting the Crown Princess?"

It's a punishment either way, so why not come and see what she's up to?

Bai Yingxue's face was not looking good after her thoughts were exposed. "You are quite smart, but you forgot one thing. I am now the Crown Princess, and if I want you dead, I just need to find a random crime!"

He raised his hand and a palace maid immediately handed him a pair of scissors.

She took the scissors and turned around to cut a hole in the wedding dress.

After cutting, she stuffed the scissors into Xie Zhuoning's hand.

Then he ordered——

"Pass the order down. Miss Xie has destroyed the wedding dress. This is an unforgivable crime. Arrest her immediately!"

Destroying the Crown Princess' wedding dress is no small matter.

The auspicious clothes have been destroyed, which is an ominous sign.

If it affects the sacrifices to heaven and prayers for blessings, any disaster in Daye in the future can be blamed on her.

His Majesty and the Crown Prince will certainly be furious with her and punish her severely!

Bai Yingxue's move is really amazing~

Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but applaud her.

Bai Yingxue frowned, "What do you mean?"

Why could she still laugh when the guards had already rushed in to arrest her?

Xie Zhuoning said, "Sometimes I don't know whether to say you are smart or not."

"You say you are not smart, but you know to cut an inconspicuous place, so that you can find a crime to punish me, and let people make up for it quickly so as not to delay the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven."

"But although you are smart, you are so impatient that you have to cause trouble on the wedding day."

"Then have you ever thought that I, Xie Zhuoning, have never been the kind of person who allows others to manipulate me?"

As she spoke, she took advantage of the opportunity when the guards came to catch her, rushed to the wedding dress, and started cutting it off with a few clicks.

But in the blink of an eye, the gorgeous and complicated wedding dress was full of holes.

Bai Yingxue's eyes widened, and the next second, she went completely crazy, "Xie Zhuoning, how dare you, how dare you!"

Xie Zhuoning blinked his innocent eyes and said, "Since I have already been charged with the crime of destroying the wedding dress, what difference does it make if I cut it once or ten times?"

She's about to be arrested, doesn't she need to do some more cutting to vent her anger?

Bai Yingxue gnashed her teeth, fuming with anger, "Catch her for me, catch her!"

The guards rushed over to grab Xie Zhuoning, but Xie Zhuoning did not resist this time and surrendered obediently.

Without caring about her, Bai Yingxue rushed to the wedding dress, holding up the already tattered dress with trembling hands, her eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, "What should I do...what should I do...Xiu Niang, where is Xiu Niang?"

She originally wanted to ruin a small cut, take the opportunity to punish Xie Zhuoning, and then restore Xiu Niang to her original appearance, so Xiu Niang was naturally found long ago.

The palace maid hurried to the next side hall to call Xiu Niang over and asked her if she could recover as before.

When Xiuniang saw the wedding dress, she was stunned and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

It's in such a dilapidated state that even if their ancestors were still alive, they wouldn't be able to repair it!

"Useless thing!" Bai Yingxue was so angry that she picked up the teacup next to her and smashed it on her.

There is no way to repair it, let alone make a new one.

Three hundred embroiderers worked day and night for more than half a month to complete this set of auspicious clothes.

There is only half an hour left until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven!

"What should I do?" She was extremely anxious and had a headache.

If the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was delayed, even if Xie Zhuoning would suffer the consequences, she would definitely not have a good ending either!

The old maid who was serving at the side stepped forward and suggested, "Your Highness, why don't you take Xie Zhuoning to see the Empress, tell her the whole story, and ask the Empress to make the decision for you."

In this way, he could use the Empress's hand to deal with Xie Zhuoning without causing dissatisfaction to the Crown Prince, and he could also take advantage of the Empress's determination not to allow anything to go wrong in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony and let her solve the issue of the auspicious clothing.

After all, she is a palace maid, and her mind is clearer than others.

Bai Yingxue's eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered someone to take Xie Zhuoning and quickly head towards Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was extremely lively at this moment.

The Grand Empress Dowager sat on the main seat, with Empress Dowager Yin and Empress Sima on her left and right.

Further down were Princess Jing'an, Princess Qingyi, princesses from various mansions, and court ladies.

The Queen was laughing and teasing Zhuang Qingyi, "Once the princess returns, I'm afraid that the marriage of the Seventeenth Brother will be put on hold."

Zhuang Qingyi smiled shyly, "Brother Heng said there's no rush."

"He's already so old, it's time to get anxious. Look, the prince is about to become a father, but he still hasn't found a uncle."

Before the queen finished her words, a palace maid came in hurriedly to report:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess requests an audience!"

"She is not in the East Palace waiting for the ceremony to begin. What is she doing here?"

"Yes, it is said that Miss Xie destroyed the wedding dress, so she came to ask the Empress to make a decision!"

"What?" The queen was so shocked that she didn't even care about the presence of so many people and immediately asked someone to call Bai Yingxue in.

As soon as Bai Yingxue entered the room, she knelt down with a plop, "Please, mother, please make the decision for your daughter-in-law!"

The queen was dissatisfied and asked angrily, "What's going on?"

"Yes... Miss Xie was not happy that her daughter-in-law had taken her position as Crown Princess, so she deliberately used scissors to damage the wedding dress, so that her daughter-in-law could not participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens!"

As she spoke, the maid behind her immediately brought a tray and presented the torn wedding dress to her.

Looking at those holes that were bigger than the head, everyone present gasped.

This Miss Xie is really ruthless!
