Regarding Mo Yunchen’s safety, An Xuetang knew that Mo Yunjing cared deeply for his elder brother. Therefore, she didn’t delay for a moment and immediately led Fu Shou Kangning and the four of them straight to the Prince’s Mansion.
The Prince’s Mansion wasn’t too far from the Northern Border Duke’s Mansion. It took An Xuetang and her five companions, Fu Shou Kangning, less than a quarter of an hour to arrive by horse.
At this moment, Yun Si and Yun Liu stood with their men before the gate, they hadn’t even stepped into the Prince’s Residence.
Hearing the sound of hooves, Yun Si and Yun Liu turned around. When An Xuetang dismounted, they led the crowd in paying their respects to her.
An Xuetang’s face was sullen, “No need for ceremony. What’s going on now? You haven’t gone in yet? So you didn’t see the Crown Prince at all?”
Yun Si bowed, “Your Highness, the Crown Princess… she wouldn’t allow my subordinates to enter the Prince’s residence.”
“Princess Consort?” An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly. She hadn’t gone to settle accounts with this woman yet, and now the woman dared to come out and stir up trouble?
“As far as I know, there aren’t many capable people left in the Prince’s Mansion. Why couldn’t you get in?”
“…”
An Xue Tang’s question made Yun Si and Yun Liu exchange glances, both of them showing a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.
At this point, Yunliu spoke up to explain, “Your Highness, in fact, my subordinate and the Fourth Brother have climbed over the wall before. But…but the Crown Princess threatened to commit suicide. Once we got closer, the Crown Princess was going to hang herself.”
No matter what, this Crown Princess is the Prince’s woman. They naturally won’t just stand by and watch the Crown Princess get into trouble.
So, they had to negotiate with the crown princess, trying to persuade her to let go and have the gates of the prince’s mansion opened.
But this Princess Consort, for some reason, just wouldn’t agree. Yun Si and Yun Liu had no choice but to have people guard every corner of the Prince’s residence outside, preventing anyone from entering to harm the Prince. After all, in this capital city, there were many who wanted the Prince dead.
Meanwhile, Yunliu urged someone to rush back home and inform Mo Yunjing, hoping he would come and handle the matter of the Crown Princess.
To my surprise, Mo Yunjing hadn’t arrived yet, but An Xuetang came first.
At this moment, An Xuetang heard Yun Liu’s words and sneered. This crown princess threatened people with her own life?
After a moment of silence, An Xuetang turned to Ning’er beside her, “Fu’er, Ning’er, you two go in and open the gate.”
Yes.
Fú’er and Níng’er readily agreed without a hint of hesitation, then both used their light skills to swiftly fly inside.
Yun Si pursed her lips, “Your Highness, what if the Crown Princess…”
“Ignore her.”
An Xuetang’s expression was cold. “This concubine only cares about the Prince’s safety, what does this Crown Princess matter? If she really wants to die, this concubine would even lend her a hand.”
Yun Si and Yun Liu both heard An Xue Tang’s words, the two raised their eyebrows at each other, glanced at each other, and said nothing more.
To be honest, both of them disliked the Crown Princess, but because of their status, they had to pretend. So, they had to give the Crown Princess face and care about her life or death.
After finishing her words, An Xuetang asked again, “What is the identity of this Crown Princess? What’s her name?”
Yunliu clasped his hands and said, “Your Highness, this Crown Princess Hua Xiang is the daughter of the former Minister of Rites. However, her father passed away many years ago due to illness. During the funeral, a fire unexpectedly broke out in their home.”
“At that time, everyone in the Ministry of Rites, from top to bottom, except for the Crown Princess, was burned to death. The Empress Dowager, taking pity on the young Crown Princess, took her into the palace and raised her.”
Was Huaxiang raised in the palace?
Does that mean she’s been childhood friends with Mo Yunchen and Mo Yunjing?
No, Mo Yunchen and Mo Yunjing are at least ten years apart, right? She and Mo Yunjing couldn’t be childhood sweethearts.
Andue was still about to ask something else, but at this moment, the sound of fighting came from the gate. Andue’s eyes darkened.
Yunliu’s face changed as well, just about to fly in when the door was opened by Ninger.
And all the people inside were beaten to the ground by Fu’er, with over a dozen of them lying on the ground wailing, quite comical.
An Xuetang walked straight over, and at that moment a woman suddenly rushed forward. She opened her arms wide and stood in front of An Xuetang, roaring, “Get out! All of you get out!”
Hearing that someone dared to yell at An Xuetang, Fu’er ignored everything else and immediately walked up to the woman. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped her hard.
“!!”
Even Yun Si and Yun Liu, who had seen their fair share of ups and downs, were taken aback by Fu’er’s actions at this moment.
This… Fu’er actually directly slapped the Crown Princess?
This girl’s guts are really… <<<
Hua Xiang obviously didn’t expect anyone to dare hit her. She covered her burning face with one hand and reacted for a while before realizing what had happened.
Her eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Fu’er, a finger pointed accusingly at her. “Where did you come from, you wretched woman, you… you dare to hit this princess, you…”
“You’re the one who’s getting hit!” Fu’er slapped her again with a vicious force, her voice cold and sinister. “If you dare to be disrespectful to our Northern Border Princess again, just watch as I beat you until your parents don’t even recognize you!”
“You…” Hua Xiang was momentarily taken aback by Fu’er’s cold tone. When she recovered, she roared out of control, “Come here! Bring someone here quickly! Drag this vile slave away and kill her! Kill her for me!”
Huaxiang called out, but… how many people in this house are close to Fu’er’s level?
They, one by one, where they dare to catch Fu’er? Not to mention that before they could even act, another girl had already knocked them down with a palm strike!
At this moment, An Xuetang and Fu’er exchanged mysterious glances. An Xuetang stepped forward and spoke in a soft tone, “Fu’er, do you know what you did wrong?”
Fu’er shuffled closer to An Xuetang, shaking her head in apparent innocence. “Princess Consort, it’s just that I can’t stand seeing anyone disrespect you. So what crime have I committed?”
An Xuetang suppressed a smile, cleared her throat, and said, “Fu’er, this is the Crown Princess. How can you hit the Crown Princess?”
“Fǒu’er acted with exaggerated surprise, covering her mouth as if shocked and widening her eyes. “Goodness gracious! I don’t know! I truly don’t know!”
Her acting was over-the-top, as dramatic as it could be. Even Ning’er, who usually had a stoic expression, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth and almost burst out laughing.
But Yunliu couldn’t hold back and let out a snort of laughter. After laughing, she quickly covered her mouth, glancing upwards with her eyes, pretending that she hadn’t done anything just now.
Hua Xiang was truly about to be driven mad, she was seething with anger. She just opened her mouth to speak when An Xue Tang already spoke up:
“Fu’er, though you didn’t mean to, harm has been done. This concubine will punish you. Do you accept this?”
Fu’er pouted and stood with her head down before An Xue Tang, “Since Fu’er was wrong, Fu’er will naturally accept it.”
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow and patted her head, “Fu’er knows her mistake and corrects it. She’s a good child. This way, this concubine will punish you by not allowing you to eat sweets today.”
“!”
Hearing this very “serious” punishment, Yunliu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Ninger’s faint smile at the corner of her mouth was barely noticeable, but she still spoke, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. Ninger will keep an eye on this punishment and make sure Foye has no chance to steal food.”
