Chapter 468: Drive Them Out
The eldest princess was very impatient with the queen's nagging in the palace.
The queen knew her temper, so she couldn't say anything too harsh.
The eldest princess had something on her mind and was anxious to return to Miaoshou Pavilion. There was no one in the palace to pass on the news, and she didn't know what was going on in Miaoshou Pavilion. She didn't know whether the lives of that little bitch and that little beast could be saved.
She always wanted to leave the Queen's Fengxiang Palace, but the Queen refused to let her.
"I know I was wrong!" The princess softened her tone as she watched the sky darken outside. "The palace gates will be locked soon. Why don't you let me leave first? If I still feel like I haven't been scolded enough, I can come back tomorrow to listen to your lecture, okay?"
There was a hint of impatience in the queen's eyes. She felt that it was not good that those ladies had come to the palace to report today, so she told the matter directly to His Majesty.
Chen Xinghe had just left the emperor's place not long ago. The emperor and the empress thought that something was going to happen.
However, the emperor still favored his sister. Since the ladies had found the queen, it would be better for the queen to reprimand the princess. After all, this also concerned some matters related to the Cheng'en County Prince's harem, so it was not convenient for him, the emperor, to interfere in other people's affairs.
"Not good!" If it were any other day, the queen would have agreed to it, but today she had the emperor's instructions.
The eldest princess was determined to kill the concubine and the child, but the emperor had already promised Chen Xinghe that he could marry the woman and let the child return to his ancestral home. If the eldest princess really killed these two people, it would be a loss of face for the emperor and the empress, and even more so for Chen Xinghe. Chen Xinghe had already acted very tough in front of Emperor Longchang today. He wanted to divorce the eldest princess.
This is too much. The Empress Dowager's birthday is just around the corner. If these two people quarrel again, won't the whole world laugh at the royal family?
This is absolutely impossible.
Moreover, Chen Xinghe controlled half of the imperial city's secret guards and all the spies in the capital, and his position was extremely important. If the Longchang Emperor didn't trust such a person, he would definitely not entrust him with such a secret matter, so the Longchang Emperor didn't want to disappoint Chen Xinghe.
So even if the mother and daughter were really dead, the eldest princess could not be left to watch them die.
The eldest princess must stay in the palace these days.
The eldest princess can only leave the palace after the fate of the mother and child over there is determined.
The queen usually doesn't like to pay attention to her sister-in-law. After all, she is so arrogant that even she doesn't take her seriously.
She was favored by Emperor Longchang and had the support of the Empress Dowager, but she was never seen being respectful to the Empress.
"Sister-in-law!" the eldest princess cried angrily, "Do you know that I've been bullied to the point of being bullied? I don't want to listen to your theories about enduring it. The prince consort is mine, mine alone. That woman must die! That child should never have been born! Chen Xinghe has changed his heart!"
"You should stay away from your husband for the next few days. Stay in my Fengxiang Palace and calm down!" The Queen continued to persuade him patiently. "Don't be too impulsive. After all, it's a human life!"
"What human lives? In my eyes, they are nothing but ants!" The eldest princess said arrogantly, "Who do I need to answer to for crushing two ants? Sister-in-law! Don't try to stop me today, otherwise!"
"What else?" The queen's expression also fell, and she looked at the eldest princess with a gloomy face.
The eldest princess was shocked by the Queen's sudden increase in momentum, but she quickly recovered. She snorted, "Otherwise, I will go to the Queen Mother to reason with her!"
"You can't go anywhere!" The Queen gave the surrounding maids and maids a look, and immediately four maids and two maids came over and surrounded the eldest princess. "This is your brother's order! You must stay in Fengxiang Palace for the next few days and can't go anywhere! As for the Queen Mother, I will go and pay my respects to her. You don't have to worry about it!" After saying this, she said to the maids and maids, "Princess, please go to my side hall to rest. Don't offend your wishes. You must have the best food, clothing, and daily necessities for your eldest princess. Do you understand?"
Those people agreed in unison and were about to forcibly help the eldest princess up. The eldest princess immediately struggled, "Sister-in-law, you can't force me to stay here!" However, her small body was usually pampered, and no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape from the palms of these strong women personally selected by the queen.
After the eldest princess was dragged away, the queen pressed her hand between her eyebrows and sighed deeply.
The Miaoshou Pavilion has returned to its usual silence. Since the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery volunteered to stay and take care of Qin Wanfang and the child, she has been staying in the ward.
These two people have been transferred from the clinic to the ward by Zhou Ziqi.
Miaoshou Pavilion is a ward for inpatient observation, which is used for recovery and observation of those with more serious symptoms.
Every half an hour, a medical boy from the Miaoshou Pavilion would come in to help measure the two people's vital signs, such as pulse and heartbeat, and check their body temperature.
The eldest princess' words could not be heard from the palace. The maids and guards left in Miaoshou Pavilion by the eldest princess could no longer bear it when they heard no sound until late at night.
The two maids first clamored to see Qin Wanfang and the child, but were stopped by the people from Miaoshou Pavilion.
As soon as they saw this situation, they started making a fuss and called the guards of the Princess's Mansion over, shouting that if they were not allowed to check on the two people, they would ask the guards of the Princess's Mansion to destroy the Miaoshou Pavilion.
The medical children from Miaoshou Pavilion all stood in front of them to stop them.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Kong Chun rushed over with the guards from Prince Cheng'en's Mansion.
"Who are you?" They saw another group of people coming from Miaoshou Pavilion. They were wearing guards' clothes, but they couldn't tell where the guards were from.
On weekdays, they all stayed by the Princess's side, and Chen Xinghe rarely mentioned his title as Prince Cheng'en. He even lived in the Princess's residence, leaving his own residence as a mere shell. So even though Kong Chun and the others were wearing Prince Cheng'en's palace guard uniforms, the maids and guards at the Princess's residence didn't recognize them.
"Catch them! Throw them all out! Whoever makes noise will have their teeth knocked out!" Kong Chun will not tolerate these people. Today, these people went to Ximoxuan to smash, loot and search, which has made them very upset. If they were not afraid of their identities being exposed, they would have wanted to teach these people a lesson.
Now we can finally discipline them with just cause.
Twenty guards rushed forward. Although the number of guards in the Princess's Mansion was much larger than this side, those people's mediocre skills could only bully ordinary people. If they really encountered these assassins, they would have no choice but to surrender.
