Chapter 503: This princess will change her clothes and go over later
The coldness in Lan Xiyue's eyes disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her usual lazy and indifferent state: "Don't worry, I just want her to sleep quietly for a while. This princess is so kind-hearted, how could I attack the eldest princess?" Her tone was innocent, as if the rough and sharp blow just now was just an illusion.
Nalan Mei's heart was filled with hatred, and she almost vomited blood. "You are kind? You are kidding me! Do you really think she didn't see anything just now?"
Despite this, she didn't dare say anything more, for fear that she would follow in her mother's footsteps. She could only glare at Lan Xiyue fiercely, turn around and chase after her quickly, her back looking flustered and embarrassed.
Chu Xia watched as the pair of Nalan Princesses finally disappeared from her sight. She heaved a long sigh of relief, her face lit up with admiration, and she moved closer to Lan Xiyue, "Princess! You're truly amazing! Look at the faces of the eldest princess and the princess, they're so angry they're practically smoking!" She then blinked curiously, "But Princess, why did the eldest princess suddenly fall so hard just now? She looked so pale in pain, it didn't seem like she was faking it."
Lan Xiyue turned around in a good mood, smiled and patted Chuxia's shoulder, her tone as relaxed as if she was discussing the weather: "You don't understand this, right? Princess, as you get older, your legs and feet are naturally not as flexible. As a person gets older..." She drew out her tone with a mischievous smile, "The bones are very brittle. The slightest touch will easily cause problems."
Chu Xia tilted her head in confusion, "Old? Princess, the eldest princess seems... middle-aged, right? It's still too early for her bones to be brittle."
"Puchi!" Lan Xiyue burst into laughter at Chu Xia's honest look, her laughter was crisp and pleasant, "What a silly girl! Let's go, stop thinking about it, the pile of betrothal gifts in the warehouse are waiting for us to count!" After saying that, she walked briskly towards the warehouse.
Chu Xia scratched her head, still not understanding, and hurriedly trotted to catch up: "Hey, Princess, wait for me!"
An Yi shook his head helplessly. Only a naive girl like Chu Xia would believe the princess's excuse that "her legs and thighs are not in good condition due to her age".
It was obvious that the princess's attack was the result of the princess's secret use of skill, hitting the acupoint accurately, causing her to suffer greatly without leaving any trace.
Outside the gate of the Regent's Palace: the cold wind blew up the fine snowflakes, and it was freezing cold.
The two secret guards, expressionless, carried the broken wooden board with the unconscious Princess Wenshu on it and placed it without mercy on the ground in front of the palace gate, which was covered with light snow, with a dull sound.
Then, the two of them turned around and walked into the palace gate as if they had completed the most ordinary task.
The maids brought with Princess Wenshu stared at the scene in astonishment. How could a princess, a princess, be thrown out like discarded garbage in the snow? They stood there at a loss, at a loss what to do.
When Nalan Mei ran out breathlessly, what she saw was such a scene that made her terrified and extremely humiliated!
The mother was lying on the dirty, cold wooden planks, with snow piled beneath her and snowflakes falling on her body, unconsciously exposed to the cold wind! As she turned around, the palace gate slammed shut.
"Lan Xiyue!" Nalan Mei roared silently in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, and she was unaware of the blood seeping out.
She whipped her head around and screamed at the dumbstruck maids, her voice cracking with fury: "What are you still standing there for?! Go back and call for help! Now! Immediately!"
"Yes... yes!" The maids woke up as if from a dream, and crawled towards the Nalan Mansion. Their figures soon disappeared in the wind and snow.
Nalan Mei stood alone in the wind and snow, guarding her unconscious mother.
The biting cold wind blowing on her face was not even one ten-thousandth as cold as the feeling in her heart.
She stared intently at the tightly closed palace gate, the burning hatred in her eyes as if it were real, almost burning through the heavy door! Her teeth chattered, and every word sounded like poison squeezed out of hell:
"Lan! Xi! Yue! Hello... You are truly amazing! This princess will remember today's humiliation! As time goes by, I, Nalan Mei... will make you pay back a hundredfold!"
Time passed slowly in the biting cold and extreme humiliation.
The sky gradually darkened and the wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger.
Finally, the sound of messy footsteps and wheels came from the direction of Nalan Mansion.
The guards, maids and old women of the Nalan Mansion finally arrived breathlessly.
Looking at the miserable state of the eldest princess, everyone was horrified and dared not breathe.
Nalan Mei suppressed her surging hatred and directed the trembling maids and servants, "Be gentle! Mother's leg is injured! Carry her into the carriage carefully!"
The maids and servants held their breath as they carefully lifted the unconscious Princess Wenshu from the cold wooden planks and placed her on the thick cushions of the carriage. Nalan Mei immediately followed and climbed into the carriage, sternly ordering the driver, "Quick! Return to the palace immediately! As fast as possible!"
"Gee!" The driver did not dare to delay and whipped the horse whip violently.
The carriage started with difficulty in the wind and snow, rolled over the snow, and galloped towards the Nalan Mansion, leaving two deep ruts.
The maids and servants followed the carriage, running with difficulty in the increasingly heavy snow and wind, and their figures were soon swallowed up by the vast snow and wind.
The lights in the palace storehouse were bright, illuminating the mountains of boxes and crates.
Lan Xiyue was checking a thick gift list, while Chuchun and Chuxia were carefully sorting out the scattered brocade.
The housekeeper walked in with a smile. He rubbed his cold hands and bowed deeply to Lan Xiyue. "Princess, the people from the Nalan Mansion have already taken the eldest princess and the princess away in disgrace. The front of the mansion is now quiet."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue didn't even raise her head, but just moved her eyes away from the booklet. A knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said "hmm" softly to indicate that she understood. She continued to look at the gift list in her hand.
Just then, footsteps were heard at the warehouse door again.
A young guard on duty at the gate stood solemnly at the door with his hands hanging down. His voice was clear and resonant: "Your Highness, the Lan Mansion has sent a servant to deliver a message. The servant said that Young Master Lan has specifically instructed that Your Highness, Your Highness, come to the Lan Mansion for dinner tonight."
Lan Xiyue then put down the booklet in her hand, a genuine and warm smile on her face. She said softly, "I understand. I will change my clothes and come over later."
"Yes!" The doorman responded promptly, bowed again, and retreated quietly.
Lan Xiyue stood up, stretched her waist which had become stiff from sitting for so long, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
She walked around the stacked boxes and went out of the warehouse, with Chuchun and Chuxia quickly following.
