The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

The eldest princess looked at Gu Zhiqing in great shock, "What...what is going on?"

"Before, someone blocked my son at the city gate and beat me indiscriminately. It was Ling Xiao. We met on the street tonight. He beat me again and told me to stay away from Zuo Xiangning, otherwise You must make me look good!" Gu Zhiqing said with red eyes, "He is so arrogant just because he has the ability to follow the dragon. It is really too much to deceive others!"

"Isn't this reasonable? It's simply lawless!" The eldest princess was furious: "The late emperor gave him the surname Murong Huang, does he really think he is a prince?"

"Mother, Ling Xiao is a cunning villain! I don't know what means he used to confuse the late emperor and give him a title." Gu Zhiqing gritted his teeth and said: "Marquis Zhongyuan is a well-known upright person. If Ling Xiao hadn't done something that was not tolerated by Marquis Zhongyuan, how could he have faked his death and Marquis Zhongyuan took the opportunity to clear out the Ling family... Such a person is now being reused by the emperor and will definitely influence the country in the future. The country is harming the country and the people."

The eldest princess's face changed slightly.

"Mother, he knows that the emperor has granted marriage to our eldest princess's palace and the Zuo family, but he still wants to force me to break off the engagement and forcefully marry Zuo Xiangning. Does he still have you and the emperor in his eyes?" Gu Zhiqing continued vigorously. Said: "Mom, he is so arrogant and domineering, lawless!"

"You go back to your room first and let the doctor come and take a look at it for you. I will go into the palace to see the saint at dawn," the eldest princess said, "The emperor must give me an explanation!"

Gu Zhiqing hunched over and was helped back to his room.

He sat on the chair and said to the two people who helped him back: "You have just heard what I said about what happened today. I hope you can agree with me and stop talking nonsense."

The two guards looked at each other and said "yes".

Gu Zhiqing had someone give each of them a fifty-tael silver note.

Now he had to put this matter to rest before the eldest princess knew about the rumors outside.

The eldest princess entered the palace at dawn.

The emperor looked at the eldest princess and asked worriedly: "My aunt came into the palace so early, is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me." The eldest princess knelt in front of the emperor and cried: "I and Zhiqing have been separated from each other for more than twenty years. Now we finally recognize each other, but Zhiqing almost died in Lingxiao again. In his hand... Ling Xiao is too arrogant! The marriage between Zhi Qing and Xiang Ning was personally decreed by the emperor. No one in the Zuo family objected, so why should Ling Xiao intervene? He still spoke arrogantly and let Zhi Qing If you take the initiative to break off the engagement, you can spare your life... Although Ling Xiao is given the surname of 'Murong', he is not the prince's son or grandson, so how can he dare to be so arrogant? Besides, even the emperor cannot say so easily. If he takes other people’s lives! Who does he think he is?”

The emperor's expression changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to help the eldest princess up from the ground, "Auntie, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly. You are so old, so don't make yourself angry."

The eldest princess stood up, wiped her tears, and said: "When your imperial grandfather was still alive, he gave me the Iron Scroll Alchemy Book and asked me to assist your father in preserving the power of our Murong family. When your father was seriously ill, he came with me I said the same thing, let me help you... I know that I am old, and I am deeply afraid of living up to the late Emperor's high expectations. I am always vigilant and do not dare to feel tired. But who would have thought that it would stop some people? Lu, I have received two beatings in vain, I really have to report to the emperor, I really can’t keep such a treacherous minister and rebellious son..."

"Aunt, what happened to Ling Xiao is all the imperial decree issued by the emperor himself," the emperor said with an embarrassed look on his face: "less than a hundred days after the death of the emperor, I overturned the imperial decree of the late emperor and made him What does the world think of me?"

"Then let him do whatever he wants?" the eldest princess asked.

"The prince has committed the same crime as the people, let alone him?" The emperor advised: "Don't worry, aunt, I and Zhiqing are cousins. How can I not go towards Zhiqing and help outsiders? I will definitely make the decision for Zhiqing." , give him justice." The eldest princess left the emperor's palace and went to the queen.

When the queen saw the eldest princess coming in, she hurriedly stood up to greet her and called her "aunt" affectionately.

"The Queen is blaming me now, right?" The eldest princess sat down on the Taishi chair with a swagger, looked at the Queen, and asked slowly.

Zuo Xiangrong didn't know what the eldest princess was singing about, but seeing her posture, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.

But she didn't show it on her face, she smiled and asked someone to bring a bowl of red bean soup to the eldest princess.

"What did my aunt say? You are the emperor's aunt and are close relatives to me. How could you do something that I would blame?"

The eldest princess looked at the faint smile on the queen's face, her face became stern, and she sneered: "It is said that the queen has a deep love for the sisters of the four girls in Zuofu. Is it true?"

"I do have a close sisterly relationship with my fourth sister from my mother's family, but it's not all big or small. I tell you everything truthfully. I wonder which one your aunt is referring to?" The queen didn't wait for the eldest princess to speak, and laughed again: "Eldest Princess This palace is all confused. What’s wrong with you? You’ve always been a very cheerful person, why do you always talk half-talk and half-hidden when you talk today? Are you asking me to guess?”

Zuo Xiangrong's eyes widened curiously, "It's just that the scope is too broad, I really can't guess it at the moment."

"Zuo Xiangning doesn't want to marry Zhiqing, don't you know this?" the eldest princess slapped her palm on the table and said sternly.

"I have always been curious in my heart. Since you know that my sister does not want to marry into the eldest princess's house, why do you and your son insist on marrying her?" Zuo Xiangrong said with a sad look on her face: "You are sandwiching me in the middle. , it’s really embarrassing for me, what do you think I should do?”

"The emperor has granted me a marriage, what else can I do?" The eldest princess looked at Zuo Xiangrong's soft appearance, but her words showed no mercy and she was carrying a knife. She couldn't help but think of Zuo Xiangrong who was somewhat similar to her. Xiang Ning couldn't help but feel a little more angry, "I heard that Xiang Ning is a little involved with Ling Xiao now. The Queen had better give Xiang Ning a warning before any scandal comes out. It's bad. The Queen’s reputation.”

"Please speak carefully, eldest princess!" The queen's face suddenly dropped, "Although my fourth sister is engaged to Mr. Ling, she has not actually married into the eldest princess's house. If the eldest princess has any feelings for my fourth sister, If you are dissatisfied with anything, you can break off the engagement openly, but you cannot slander her reputation for no reason like this!"

"Ling Xiao said it himself, how can it be false?" the eldest princess spoke out.

"Did Marquis Jingyuan tell you this personally?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"He said it to Zhiqing himself!" said the eldest princess, "If he dares to say it in front of me, I won't be able to punch his mouth open!"

"Then why didn't Mr. Ling go up and smash Marquis Jingyuan's mouth?" Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you afraid, or have you never beaten him before? I heard that Marquis Jingyuan is so good at martial arts that most people can't beat him. I can’t take ten moves, but I wonder how many moves Master Ling can take?”
