Chapter 118 Raising an ungrateful person
Jiang Zhaoyue replied: "I can't see clearly."
"It looks like a packet of medicine powder." Xiang Qiao squinted her eyes and looked at the lake.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Did you see it?"
"No, I guessed it." Xiangqiao thought the sound of falling into water was like a medicine bag.
The thing quickly sank into the lake, and no one knew what it was. Jiang Zhaoyue said, "It's not a good thing anyway."
"Yes." Xiangqiao nodded.
The master and servant stopped talking and watched Yan Zhiyi quietly to prevent her from committing suicide.
Yan Zhiyi stared at the lake quietly for a while, wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, let out a long breath, let out all the depression, entanglement and sadness in her heart, then lifted her skirt and left decisively.
"Crown Princess, she didn't commit suicide. She went to the theater." Xiang Qiao said.
Jiang Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's go to the toilet."
"yes."
The master and servant left the lake, went to the toilet, and on their way back to the theater, they saw lanterns moving around all around and everyone looked very anxious.
"What happened?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked in confusion.
"I don't know either." Xiangqiao became alert.
"The Crown Princess! The Crown Princess is here!"
"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly!"
"quick!"
"The Crown Princess is here!"
“…”
Suddenly a palace maid shouted.
When Jiang Zhaoyue and Xiangqiao were stunned, Pei Jingzhou came over like a gust of wind and hugged Jiang Zhaoyue into his arms: "Zhaoyue."
Xiangqiao was so scared that she staggered to the side.
Pei Jing helped her at the right time.
"Thank you." Xiang Qiao said.
Pei Jing said nothing.
Jiang Zhaoyue has always been bold. He teases Pei Jingzhou in various ways in private and takes advantage of him. Although you can no longer hear him say words like "respect yourself", "be more reserved", "be more serious", etc., you can still see him blushing and shy every time.
But!
But!
But he was so old-fashioned that he actually hugged her in front of so many people.
What, what, what is going on?
She called out in confusion: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Jingzhou suddenly came to his senses and quickly let her go. He looked her up and down, and asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you hurt? Are you scared?"
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "No, the bathroom is bright and clean, how could it be affected by——"
"Gongfang?" Pei Jingzhou retorted.
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
Pei Jingzhou asked: "What are you doing in the palace?"
Jiang Zhaoyue lowered her voice and said, "I drank too much water while watching the play and had to go to the toilet."
"Come out, come out..." Before Pei Jingzhou could finish his words, the Queen and others came over anxiously.
Princess Duojia explained: "Big sister-in-law, you finally showed up. Big brother returned to the theater and couldn't see you. He thought something had happened to you. He was angry and anxious and was looking for you everywhere. Just now-"
"Duojia." Pei Jingzhou said.
Princess Duojia immediately stopped talking.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, feeling relieved: "I'm glad you're okay."
Yan Zhiyi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The queen was disappointed.
"Let's go back." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue suppressed the doubts in her heart and asked, "Is the birthday party over?"
"Almost done." Pei Jingzhou turned around and said goodbye to the Queen and others.
Jiang Zhaoyue stepped forward and bowed, then left with Pei Jingzhou.
The queen looked at Yan Zhiyi angrily.
Yan Zhiyi lowered her head.
The Queen withdrew her gaze, exchanged some polite words with Consort Hui and the others, and ended today's birthday banquet. She angrily returned to Shunning Palace, dismissed the palace servants, and turned around to question Yan Zhiyi: "Yan Zhiyi, what are you doing?"
Yan Zhiyi lowered her head and said nothing.
The Queen suppressed her anger and asked, "Why didn't you give the prince the drug?"
"Aunt, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very good person. I can't use such despicable means on him." After receiving the medicine package, Yan Zhiyi was indeed shaken, but in the end she was still unwilling to do such a thing to Pei Jingzhou.
"A very good man? He's a very good man?" The Queen pointed outside as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "Do you know how many people he's killed since he entered the court, using officials from the six ministries?"
Yan Zhiyi replied, "Those who are corrupt, commit crimes, and take human life lightly deserve to be killed."
"What about Xiao Zinan?" The Queen immediately said, "Xiao Zinan is his half-brother, and Concubine Shi is his father's woman. The Shi family has made great contributions to the Great Jin.
“But how did he do it?
"He has been planning revenge since he was six years old. Now he has put Xiao Zinan under house arrest for life, poisoned Concubine Shi to death in prison, and exterminated the entire Shi family."
Yan Zhiyi still had something to say: "First, they killed Empress Yuan, and then they plotted to usurp the throne. If these things were to happen in any dynasty, the punishment would not be any lighter than it is today."
"How can we say that he alienated Xiao Congbei and Xiao Zinan and sat on the mountain watching the fight?"
Yan Zhiyi really didn't think what the Queen said was a heinous crime, and couldn't help but say, "My aunt is so strange. She just told me that the Crown Prince is handsome, capable, and responsible, and that there is no one more suitable for me than him. Now she says he is not a good person.
"If that's the case, why did my aunt let my niece be a concubine to a bad guy?"
"Yan Zhiyi!" The queen finally couldn't suppress her anger.
Yan Zhiyi was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "Aunt."
The Queen questioned: "The Yan family worked so hard to raise you, and you are so heartless."
Yan Zhiyi said, "Aunt, I am not heartless. Every brick and tile of the Yan family was built with the blood of our ancestors. They have always walked upright and stood firm. I do not want to stain their blood with despicable means.
"My niece also believes that the men of the Yan family are better than their fathers and can use their own abilities to take the Yan family to a higher level."
"Just your useless brothers?" The queen said disdainfully.
"If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object. The less useful it is, the more carefully it should be carved instead of plotting against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yan Zhiyi raised her head and persuaded.
With a "slap", the queen slapped Yan Zhiyi in the face.
Yan Zhiyi fell to the ground with a thud.
"The Yan family has raised an ungrateful person like you. You don't care about the life and death of your own family and only care about others. Get out of here! I want to see what kind of future you can have without the support of the Yan family! Get out!" The queen finally lost her composure.
Yan Zhiyi wanted to persuade her, but she knew it was useless. She knelt straight, prostrated herself, and bowed to the empress in a standard manner: "Thank you, aunt, for your love and care. I will always remember it."
The queen turned her face away, too angry to even look at her again.
Yan Zhiyi slowly stood up, with her red and swollen cheeks, and left Shunning Palace step by step with her personal maid.
"Miss, it's so late, should we leave the palace?" asked the maid.
Yan Zhiyi responded dejectedly: "Yeah."
"But...why don't we ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help?"
"Don't bother him."
Pei Jingzhou dragged Jiang Zhaoyue back to the East Palace. Turning around, he saw Jiang Zhaoyue scratching her neck, arms, and hands. He was startled and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
