In the front hall of the middle road, Xiao Ning entered the prince's study with an uneasy mood.

His Royal Highness, Prince Su, has always not allowed the concubine's family members to come over. When she was young, Xiao Ning suffered numerous rejections, which made her still fearful of this place.

I don't know what happened, but the prince actually called her to the study so seriously to discuss matters.

She stepped in and saw King Su sitting at attention behind the desk, and bowed very respectfully.

"My lord, I have come to find you, but do you have anything to tell me?"

"Princess, please sit down." King Su asked her to sit where his subordinates usually sit.

"I called you here today because I want to tell you that the palace's expenses need to be reduced."

Xiao Ning was shocked. After so many years of being pampered and extravagant, the prince told her to cut down her expenses for the first time!

She didn't know what she had done wrong, so she stood up hastily: "Your Highness! But, I am..."

When King Su saw her like this, he knew that she had misunderstood. He waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Princess, please be safe. It's just that there is something wrong with the ship in the south."

"How could it be?! Is it possible that anyone would dare to rob the ship of our Prince Su's Mansion even if they saw it?"

"Oh, there are still some people who dare." King Su lowered his eyes and turned his fingers, his eyes becoming colder and sterner.

"Then what should I do? But I've gotten used to it over the years. If I really want to cut down on expenses, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Ning was about to say something more to ask Prince Su to reduce the congestion, but was directly interrupted by His Highness Prince Su: "Forty percent, I don't care what method you use, the congestion in the palace will be reduced by 40%, but it must not be

There is trouble! Princess, is it possible?"

"This... this is impossible! Forty percent! That's too much, Your Highness. Let alone 40%, even if it's only reduced by 10%, there will be trouble!"

Prince Su stared into Xiao Ning's eyes and suddenly said: "If the princess really can't do it, I will ask the princess to take charge of the matter. What does the princess think?"

The rejection that Xiao Ning was about to blurt out was stuck in her throat. She looked at her husband blankly, and her reason was almost burned out in an instant by the man's cold and sharp eyes.

She suddenly walked quickly to King Su, raised her hand and slapped him hard, causing his body to sway. If Eunuch Wang hadn't helped King Su in time, he would have been tied to the chair by Xiao Ning.

Fan fell down.

The people in the room looked at the princess who suddenly got violent and hit her with great shock.

Xiao Ning was still angry, her eyes were wide-eyed and bloodshot with anger.

"Shameless! Li Jin, you are shameless!"

King Su was completely stunned by the princess's slap. He covered his swollen face and cursed angrily: "Ms. Ning, are you crazy?"

"Am I crazy? You are crazy! Put away your sanctimonious face, I feel sick when I see you!" As he said that, he picked up the inkstone and smashed it on King Su's head. Fortunately, all the guards in the room responded.

After coming to his senses, Eunuch Wang rushed forward to block King Su. The inkstone fell hard on Eunuch Wang's small arm, making him groan in pain.

Then Xiao Ning was immediately restrained by seven or eight secret guards with high martial arts skills. He could not move, but he still spit in Prince Su's face: "Li Jin, you shameless person! Just wait, that wolf Li Zhao

You kid must be holding back a lot of bad things, and sooner or later you are going to kill you for being such a shameless old man! There are so many women in the backyard that are not enough for you to play with, and you still have to seduce your daughter-in-law, Li Jing, just wait, there will be retribution sooner or later! "

Her mouth was quickly blocked by Eunuch Wang with a rag he found somewhere, but what she should say and what she shouldn't say was still heard by so many people.

King Su also covered his face in shock, widened his eyes, pointed at Xiao Ning, his fingertips were trembling: "Drag her down! Drag her down quickly!"

After the struggling little Ning was dragged into the ear room with her mouth covered by several secret guards, Prince Su stroked his forehead and felt a headache for the first time.

"How can you have such a ridiculous idea? In her eyes, I am already so shameless and have no bottom line?"

King Su gasped angrily.

Eunuch Wang stood aside and didn't know what to say.

No one would have thought that a cute little girl like the Crown Princess could be so capable. She would be called to discuss matters by the prince from time to time. She didn't know why, but was she thinking wrong?

Pu Cun, the chief bodyguard of the palace, just came out of the side hall. He knelt down in embarrassment and apologized: "Your Majesty, the princess... she scratched and bit her. It's a humble position. It's a humble position that knocked the princess unconscious temporarily."

King Su raised his eyes and saw the bloody marks on the backs of the guards' hands. He took several deep breaths and finally suppressed his anger. He said calmly: "Let's do this first. Have her tied up and gagged. Don't do it again."

I heard a strange rumor! If there is anything bad coming out of the palace, you are the only one I will ask!"

"yes!"

Guard Pu returned to the side hall with a heavy face. He looked at the princess who was knocked unconscious by his own palm on the ground, and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Eunuch Wang followed up and immediately asked Doctor Jiang to be summoned and asked him to prescribe a prescription that would make people fall asleep.

Imperial Physician Jiang didn't know why, and he had a gut feeling that he was involved in some serious secrets of the palace. When he came out of Pinghong Palace, the clothes on his back were soaked through.

The princess suffered a sudden illness, and the power in charge of the palace was temporarily left to Concubine Zhuang, which caused an uproar in the palace.

Concubine Zhuang was in a daze, and she didn't know what kind of luck she had struck, so she asked the prince to make an unprecedented move and hand over the stewardship of the main wife to her.

"Your Highness, I am no more than a concubine. It would be more appropriate for my eldest daughter-in-law to act as my agent in this matter."

The bewitching concubine Zhuang was as honest as a little gray hen in front of Prince Su. No matter how many thoughts she had in her mind, she did not dare to reveal them in front of Prince Su Li Jing.

Prince Su was obviously very satisfied with her attitude. He lowered his head and said in a very polite tone: "The crown prince has her own affairs. The concubine should take some time to worry about the affairs in the palace."

"I am stupid, and I am grateful to His Highness for not disapproving of it. I just hope that my sister, the princess, will recover as soon as possible."

"Do it well and don't make any trouble, do you understand?"

"Yes! I understand!"

"Tianwei, you have always been a capable and caring person. Come on down."

Concubine Zhuang glanced at Prince Su's mature and perfect profile, and withdrew with some nostalgia. The door of the study room was closed mercilessly the moment she walked out of the side hall.

In the room, King Su breathed a sigh of relief and raised his face.

The other side of his face has been swollen for several days and has not gone away. He is not worthy of being seen by the women in the backyard. It will damage his image of being wise and powerful! Let alone let people know that he was beaten by the princess.

After all, Xiao Ning is a woman from a general family, and she has some boyish skills, so that slap is really powerful.

"What is the Crown Princess doing?" he suddenly remembered and asked.

Eunuch Wang replied: "Lock yourself in the room and make that 'steam engine'."

King Su hummed and said, "Let her not worry about the housekeeper's affairs. You should pay more attention to her and don't let Mr. Zhuang cause trouble."

"Concubine Zhuang is a smart person." Wang Gonggong said.

"hope so."

King Su played with the jade ring on his thumb, his eyes full of indifference.

While Song Qingyue was in seclusion to work on the project, there was an undercurrent surging in the palace because the princess "fell ill".

When Li Yi heard that his mother-in-law was ill, he rushed to visit her, but was stopped by his father's people.

At this time, he realized that there must be some rift between the mother-in-law and the father-in-law.

So he made a fuss and forced his way into the study room of Pinghong Palace. When he entered the door, he saw a very clear slap mark on his father's face, which was red and swollen.

That was really a cruel beating.

"Didn't I tell you that your mother-in-law has an emergency and needs to rest?" King Su raised his eyes coldly and looked at the second young master Li Yi.

"Yes, son... my son understands." Li Yi shrank his neck and thought about what to say, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Was that beaten by the mother-in-law?

It can only be done by the mother-in-law, otherwise who else in this house would dare?

Coming out of his father's study, Li Yi was so panicked that he lost his mind.

It has only been a year since Concubine Sun's incident, and everything that happened is still fresh in my mind.

As long as Li Yi can remember, his mother-in-law has never been pampered, but his father has always respected his mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law has a transcendent status in the palace, and his father-in-law also maintains her rights and dignity as the head of the family.

But, all of this was given by my father.

He can give it and he can take it back easily.

He didn't know what the conflict was between his father and his mother, and he didn't dare to plead for mercy. When he saw the slap marks on his father's face, he felt like the world was spinning and his mind went blank.

Maybe soon, he won't even be able to keep his status as the legitimate son!

He walked back to his study room in a daze, and the maid Lu Shuang, who had just been carried as his wife, approached him gently and gently, but was glared at by Li Yi so hard that he shivered with fright.

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you? You don't look good. But you're not feeling well? How about I call the imperial doctor?"

She was terrified in her heart, and she didn't know how much she had said. When Li Yi saw her, he suddenly felt that these maids were useless.

If so, if his wife was the daughter of Song Ge's hometown, or had a side wife like cousin Ning, would he still be so passive and flustered now?

Lu Shuang unconsciously wanted to act coquettishly with him and comfort the second young master, but Li Yi raised his foot and kicked Lu Shuang over, sending Lu Shuang rolling several feet away.

"Trash, it's all trash!"

He was walking back and forth in the study, and his mother and concubine could not be seen. Even the mother and concubine's yard was controlled by his father's people. What should he do?

A figure suddenly appeared in my mind, Meng Yuyan.

By the way, Yuyan, at least she can speak to Concubine Shu.

We must quickly ask her to pass the sign to the palace and tell the imperial grandmother about this!

Meng Yuyan was eating melon seeds and listening to books in her room. Recently, she was looking for a female storyteller. She felt that this female storyteller was good at telling stories, so she called her into the palace from time to time to make herself happy.
