Chapter 155 How can he not regret it?
Seeing the emperor fall to the ground and black smoke coming out of his body, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
Even Eunuch Shen only dared to step forward to test whether Emperor Liang was still breathing...
"Where's the imperial physician? Didn't you come with him?"
“…”
Little Tangbao looked at his masterpiece, rolled his eyes lightly, and tears fell, hanging on his chin.
Even if the bad guy was struck by lightning, Tang Bao would still feel wronged.
The moonlight shone on her delicate little face, leaving a pale spot, making her look so pitiful.
It's heartbreaking and makes people's eyes sore.
The soft-hearted aunts gathered together to discuss quietly...
"Isn't it just money? Or is it for a good cause? Why don't we all chip in?"
"That's right, let's do whatever we can to help each other. Don't make things difficult for the children!"
"No!" A shrewd-looking man immediately stood up.
He lowered his head and said in a breathless voice, "The guarantee document for the donation of silver was written by the emperor himself..."
"The emperor is targeting His Royal Highness Prince Qing. If you donate money, isn't that clearly an attempt to oppose the emperor?"
"I'm warning you! Be careful! The Emperor might mistake you for Prince Qing's followers and punish you without even needing to find a reason!"
The aunts who liked Tang Bao fell silent instantly, standing on tiptoe to look at the emperor in a worried manner...
"When we return, we must recite scriptures and pray for His Majesty day and night."
"Yes, yes, we must not only pray for His Majesty, but also close the door tightly and devoutly copy scriptures for His Majesty, asking for the Buddha's mercy and blessing His Majesty with peace and prosperity, and a long life!"
“…”
Xie Yuanshuang rolled his eyes at the women, and while looking at Emperor Liang with sympathy, he also felt a little regretful: Why didn't the thunder kill him?
Seeing that little Tangbao didn't have a riding stool, and she was leaning her arms on the shaft and struggling with her short legs but couldn't climb up the carriage, she carried her up without thinking.
He also winked at Pei Anzhi: "Hurry up, the little princess has a token, and the little princess has ordered us to return to the palace."
“Ohhh…”
Pei An winked and made an expression that said "I understand" to Xie Yuanshuang, then hurriedly drove to the palace with a group of people.
Watching the team moving further and further away until they disappeared, Prince Qing's face twitched, his expression grim and deep: "Good! Very good!"
Funny!
The brat didn't even look back at him before leaving. Is she holding a grudge against her own father?
Chengfeng had been taught a lesson several times and no longer dared to roll his eyes at his prince. He tried to keep his eyes wide open without moving his eyelids, and moved his eyeballs around to express his dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, don't tell me, the Princess's stubbornness and forbearance, as well as her determination to avenge any grudge, are exactly like you!"
"If you don't know, you might think that the young master was raised by you personally in our Prince Qing's Mansion since she was a child! Really, the princess's temperament and style of doing things... follow yours!"
Prince Qing: “…”
`(◣_◢)`…whoosh!
A cold glare instantly hit Chengfeng's face.
Prince Qing's whole body was cold and fierce, and his tone was gloomy: "Are you trying to say that I didn't raise Zhao Ning and therefore have no right to fight her?"
He was just so angry that he lost control of himself... How could he not regret it?
As his confidant, it would have been fine if she hadn't shut up and helped find a solution, but how dare she stab him in the heart?
"Your Highness, please calm down! I dare not!" Chengfeng half-knelt on the ground, but he was not convinced in his heart.
"If a child doesn't understand, you can teach him slowly. Why hit him? When we were kids in the Internal Security Department, weren't we also most afraid of being beaten and punished?"
"Besides, a child is so naive. How could she have imagined that dozens of adults, all officials appointed by the imperial court, could deceive her together? The little princess is so filial. You just took the medicine she gave you this day... How could you have the heart to do this?"
"Pity the entire Prince Qing's Mansion. I feel the most sorry for the princess. I'm the one who's always being punished and scolded because of her. You and Chuntai both got gifts, but I don't!"
Chengfeng muttered to himself, feeling somewhat resentful, but Prince Qing listened to every word he said.
He looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, then spoke weakly...
"Hurry back to the mansion and let Chuntai settle the property."
"We have all the property deeds and land titles to Prince Qing's Mansion in our own hands. If things don't work out, we can sell them all... Remember, don't let anyone with ulterior motives catch us."
…
The group returned to Shoukang Palace. Little Tangbao greeted the old empress dowager respectfully, then returned to his own bedroom with his head hung.
The Queen Mother's eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly felt a little worried. "What's going on?"
The accompanying group didn't know where to start and hesitated for a moment.
Xie Yuanshuang walked out from behind the door hesitantly and nervously.
"I, Xie Yuanshuang, kowtow to the Empress Dowager. May Her Majesty live a thousand years!"
The Queen Mother: “???”
Looking at the young woman who was knelt and trembling, the old queen was a little confused, but she also felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
In just a moment, some bad memories suddenly flooded into her mind.
Pei An stepped forward at the right moment, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Your Highness the Queen Mother, please be patient and forgetful. Miss Xie was once the eldest daughter of the Yongping Marquis's mansion."
"The young princess now calls Miss Xie Aunt Yuanshuang because she wants Miss Xie to stay with her for a while."
The Queen Mother nodded slowly.
It turned out to be the biological mother of the twins.
"You've been able to escape several disasters in a row, which shows how lucky you are. Tang Bao is very clear about what she loves and hates. The fact that she's so close to you shows that you're a good person. You can just stay in Shoukang Palace with peace of mind."
"I thank the Queen Mother for her grace!"
Xie Yuanshuang slowly stood up and retreated to the corner, keeping his head down and not daring to raise it.
Pei An glanced at her from the corner of his eye, approached the old queen, and while helping her walk inside, he whispered:
"Your Majesty, something very unsightly has happened at the Ningguo Mansion. It seems the Duke of Ningguo has something on the young princess. He promised to give her two prosperous shops and 30,000 taels of silver!"
"Duke Ning's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou Mengqi, committed adultery with the fourth son, Li Chengzhuo, and they even had a child. They will probably be expelled from the Duke Ning's mansion together."
"Also, by now, I'm afraid that half of the dignitaries in the capital know that Li Chenglan, the Second Master of the Ningguo Mansion, is in love with Xie and has declared that he will marry no one but Xie..."
Xie Yuanshuang: “???”
Is now the time to gossip?
The emperor was struck by lightning by Tang Bao and has not yet returned to the palace. His life or death is uncertain. Shouldn't we report this to the Empress Dowager?
I don't know if the Empress Dowager knows about the guarantee document...
Eh?
etc!
Why did she feel that Pei An was avoiding the important issues and deliberately covering up for His Royal Highness Prince Qing?
So, compared to Tang Bao, he actually supports Prince Qing more? That's impossible!
Xie Yuanshuang fell to his knees and kowtowed again, unable to get up:
"Your Highness, I am guilty. I shouldn't have disregarded etiquette and argued with Prince Qing just because he struck the princess. Your Highness, Your Highness, I beg you to punish me!"
"..." Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face darkened instantly: "What did you say? What's going on?"
