Chapter 500: Just your few guards? I don't even need to do it myself.
Nalan Mei finally connected the dots! No wonder! She'd heard her mother had fallen for a peerless beauty at the Chu Pavilion, only to have him disregard her status as the eldest princess and even audaciously kidnap her, leaving her utterly humiliated... Turns out! That so-called "handsome man" was actually Lan Xiyue in disguise! No wonder her mother had lost her composure and gone berserk upon recognizing her!
But this is the Prince Regent's Palace! If Mother and Lan Xiyue completely fall out over an old grudge, then wouldn't the real purpose of their coming here today, to intercede for the Mu Mansion, be completely ruined?
Nalan Mei's heart was filled with alarm. She quickly stood up and walked quickly to Princess Wenshu. She tugged at her sleeve and lowered her voice to urgently remind her, "Mother! Calm down! Don't forget what we are here for!"
However, at this moment, Princess Wenshu's mind had long been consumed by raging rage. Her eyes, bloodshot, stared intently at Lan Xiyue's charmingly smiling face, the murderous intent in them practically condensed into a substance. She no longer remembered the Mu Mansion or her purpose. She wanted nothing more than to tear apart the woman who dared to humiliate her time and time again!
Lan Xiyue leisurely admired Princess Wenshu's angry expression on the verge of collapse, and the playful smile on her face deepened, as if she was watching a farce that had nothing to do with her, and she didn't feel any panic at all about her identity being exposed.
Her nonchalant and unconcerned look was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly fueling Princess Wenshu's rage to its peak!
"You...!" Princess Wenshu was so angry that her whole body was shaking like a sieve, and her carefully applied makeup could not hide the hideous look on her face.
Lan Xiyue seemed to think the tea was not hot enough, so she picked up the jade teacup again, brought it to her lips leisurely, and took a sip.
The warm tea moistened her throat, and she slowly and methodically placed the teacup back on the rosewood coffee table beside her, making a light "click" sound.
She raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping across Princess Wenshu's face, which was distorted by rage, and spoke with a maddening "concern":
"Your Highness, you're not young anymore." She paused deliberately, admiring the woman's face, which had suddenly darkened. "It's best to avoid getting angry. Not only is anger harmful to your health, but it also adds a few more wrinkles to your face..." She drew out her words, her eyes sweeping across her face with undisguised malice. "I'm afraid those young and handsome male favorites in your palace...will gradually lose interest in serving you, right?"
"boom!"
This sentence was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg!
Princess Wenshu, who was already furious because of the old grudge in the Chu House, was completely ignited by Lan Xiyue's vicious ridicule that hit her sore spot!
"Bitch! I'll kill you!" Princess Wenshu went completely mad. She screamed and, without a second thought, grabbed the still steaming teacup on the small table in front of her and, with all her strength, smashed it hard into Lan Xiyue's hateful face on the main seat! The teacup shot out!
"Mother! No!" Nalan Mei was so frightened that she screamed! She had never expected her mother to be so foolish! This was the Prince Regent's Palace! Lan Xiyue was the apple of her uncle's eye! She had clearly said she would be patient when she came here, so why... It's over! It's all over now!
Chu Xia, who was standing beside Lan Xiyue, also exclaimed: "Princess, be careful!" Before she finished speaking, she instinctively rushed forward, trying to use her body to block this sudden attack for Lan Xiyue.
However, Lan Xiyue's reaction was as fast as lightning! Her left hand was as swift as lightning, and she pulled Chu Xia back to her side steadily.
At the same time, he raised his right hand seemingly casually and slashed at the whistling teacup in the air!
"Bang!"
A crisp sound!
The exquisite porcelain cup, flying mid-air, was instantly shattered by an invisible and sharp force! White porcelain fragments mixed with tea splattered everywhere, landing on the smooth floor tiles with a crackling sound!
Chu Xia watched the scene in shock, then suddenly remembered that her princess was no longer the same person she used to be, and now possessed powerful martial arts skills! She breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Princess Wenshu with a cold look: "What a domineering princess! How dare you use force against the princess in the Regent's Palace!"
Lan Xiyue slowly withdrew her hand, her eyes had turned completely cold, like the deep water in a cold pond, without a trace of smile.
She stared coldly at the frantic Princess Wenshu, her voice chilling, "Princess, let me remind you. This is the Regent's Palace!"
She spoke each word with emphasis, emphasizing her status as the host. "If you're going to act like a spoiled brat, get lost and go back to your Princess's residence!" As if she suddenly remembered something, a hint of icy sarcasm curled the corners of her lips. "Oh... by the way, seeing how badly I remember, Princess, I almost forgot. It seems your 'golden house' isn't fully repaired yet? It was bombed... pretty badly."
"Lan! Xi! Yue!" Princess Wenshu's roar threatened to lift the roof off the room. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with overwhelming hatred. "My princess's residence was bombed...wasn't that also you who did it?!"
Lan Xiyue looked at the other person who looked like he wanted to eat her alive, but she leaned back lazily in her chair, even raised her hand, gently covered her red lips with her slender jade fingers, and let out a low, evil chuckle:
"you guess?"
"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you! I absolutely must kill you!" Princess Wenshu went completely mad, completely losing her mind! She turned her head abruptly and screamed at her personal maid, whose face had already turned pale with fear, "Go! Call in all the guards I've brought with me! Now! Immediately!"
Nalan Mei was horrified and tightly grasped Princess Wenshu's arm, crying and crying in despair: "Mother! Wake up! This is the Regent's Palace! You can't..."
"So what if it's the Regent's Palace?!" Princess Wenshu shook off her daughter's hand, looking like a mad tiger with wild eyes. "Mo Liyuan is still my biological brother! I don't believe he dares to do anything to his biological sister for this bitch! Go!" Her last sentence was a roar at the trembling maid.
"Yes... yes..." The maid was so frightened that she crawled out of the hall.
Nalan Mei looked at her mother's out-of-control back, feeling anxious and filled with remorse. It was over, nothing could be undone!
Lan Xiyue, however, seemed to be out of the picture, even slumped lazily in the large main chair, supporting her chin with one hand, watching Princess Wenshu's farce leisurely, with a hint of insightful, compassionate, and mocking smile on the corner of her mouth:
"Your Highness, those guards you brought with you..." She shook her head slightly, her tone filled with undisguised contempt, "I'm afraid they can't even get through the gate of the Regent's Palace, let alone do anything to me."
She raised her hand and pointed at the invisible surroundings. "How many experts do you think the prince has arranged in the dark corners of this palace to protect my safety? Just relying on your few guards? I don't even need to do it myself." She sneered.
