Chapter 004 Slap in public
It turned out that the woman was actually the thirteenth princess Zheng Ti!
She knelt in the palace and cried hoarsely: "Father, father, you have to make the decision for your son!"
After seeing clearly that it was Zheng Ti, Yun Bin, who had been sitting quietly in the palace, rushed over, hugged her, and shouted anxiously: "Ti'er, you... what's wrong with you!"
Yes, what's going on? Everyone in the palace also wants to know.
The thirteenth princess looked frightened, and her clothes were messy, making it easy for people to guess a certain situation.
But how is that possible? This is the imperial palace, and outside the Chonghua Hall, there are forbidden guards everywhere!
Zheng Ji's expression was the same, but he was very calm inside and analyzed the situation in the palace with great interest.
How come no one is wondering why a majestic princess, a beautiful girl from the Tian family, appears in front of so many courtiers and wives in disheveled clothes?
Zheng Ti herself may have panicked, but are all the maids and chamberlains inside and outside the palace dead?
What's more... at this moment, Zheng Ti's biological mother, Yun Bin, was hugging her and crying.
Zheng Ti doesn't understand and can't take care of it. Could it be that Yun Bin is like this too?
You must know that Yun Bin is a well-known thoughtful and meticulous person in the harem!
And Xue Gong and the Imperial Guards of the Four Guards did not even take action to stop such a thing from being exposed to others. If they reacted like this when something happened, how could they possibly serve and protect the Emperor?
In her previous life, she would not have thought so much about it, but now she feels that everything is inconsistent and completely unreasonable.
Also, if it were in line with common sense, the palace banquet in the previous life would not have happened.
At this time, Zheng Ti, who was buried in Yun Bin's arms, suddenly raised her head, looked at Zheng Ji, broke down and cried bitterly: "Sister Jiuhuang, you... why do you want to harm me?! The guards in your palace... Sister Huang
What a cruel heart!”
At this moment, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became extremely ugly, as if they wished they were deaf.
They don't dare to listen to this kind of royal inside story, they are not qualified to listen!
Fortunately, the emperor reacted quickly and immediately ordered the palace banquet to end. Everyone quickly left the Chonghua Palace as if they had oiled their feet.
In an instant, there was no one in Chonghua Hall, and the only ones left were Emperor Yongning's concubines and the princes and princesses.
From the moment Zheng Ti said those words, Zheng Ji looked confused and unbelievable.
As soon as everyone left, she couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Thirteenth Princess, what do you mean? What do you mean the guards of Mingguang Palace harmed you?!"
Zheng Ti wiped away her tears with resentful eyes, pointed at the person tied up by the imperial guards, and said with sobs: "Sister Jiuhuang, isn't this a guard in your palace? He...if the imperial guards hadn't arrived in time, I almost...
Insulted!"
Everyone looked at what Zheng Ti was pointing and then remembered that the Imperial Army had abandoned a person just now.
This man was tied up tightly and wore a Kui Niu suit, which was the attire of a palace guard. He had passed out, his face was bruised and swollen, and the corners of his lips were bleeding. His original appearance could not be seen for a while.
Everyone present was frightened and could not help but look carefully. Yun Bin, who was holding Zheng Ti in her arms and crying, was no exception.
But her attention was focused more on Zheng Ji.
She saw Zheng Ji narrowing his eyes to identify the guards, his expression serious, and then his eyes lit up.
This reaction...
Yun Bin suddenly felt ominous and immediately looked towards the guard. Then she seemed to have discovered something. Her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling.
No, that's not the case, there must be something wrong!
But, it's too late.
I saw Zheng Ji let out a long sigh of relief and said firmly: "Imperial sister, this is not a guard of Mingguang Palace, you have admitted your mistake!"
Zheng Ti cried for a while and subconsciously wanted to refute, but she felt a sudden sharp pain in her arm.
It turned out that the mother-in-law who was holding her in her arms was strangling her tightly, which was so painful that she could not speak.
Even if she could say it, she would not dare to say it.
At this time, she also realized something was wrong.
Why did Zheng Ji say that? Could it be that this is not the guard of Mingguang Palace?
She raised her eyes blankly and saw that all the concubines and sisters in the palace were silent and bowed their heads. Among the people here was the quiet and thin fifteenth emperor's sister Zheng Chuan.
The moment she saw Zheng Chuan, Zheng Ti finally realized something.
Zheng Chuan, who was supposed to be in trouble, is still fine now. Instead, she met the guard, so she had to use her wits to make a plan. But now she found out that... was not a guard from Mingguang Palace?
So, which palace's guard is he?
Zheng Ji had slowly walked up to her, looking down at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Thirteenth Princess, do you see clearly now? Which palace's guard is he?"
Zheng Ti's scalp was numb and her eyes were horrified: "Sister Jiuhuang, I...I..."
Zheng Ji's smile faded, and he quickly raised his hand and slapped Zheng Ti hard in the face. His tone was cold: "Zheng Ti, you alone dare to pour dirty water on this palace? Who gave you the courage?"
Everyone in the palace was shocked by this slap, including the superior Emperor Yongning, who all looked at Zheng Ji in shock.
They all know that Princess Changding is arrogant and unreasonable, and they all know that she likes to wield swords and guns, but this... this is the first time they have seen Zheng Ji beat someone.
It turns out that the action is so fast and so cruel.
More importantly, Princess Changding dared to do this in front of the emperor. How arrogant and domineering this is!
Unfortunately, no one dared to say anything.
Zheng Ti's face immediately turned to one side, became swollen instantly, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
I don't know how much strength Zheng Ji used. Her body fell to the side uncontrollably, and Yun Bin, who was holding her, also fell to the ground.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and shed tears, looking indescribably embarrassed and miserable.
After all, she was his concubine and daughter. Emperor Yongning couldn't bear it. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Concubine Jiang say softly: "Your Majesty, as the father, you cannot just watch Xiao Jiu suffer...
…”
Everyone was puzzled: "??"
My dear concubine, are you telling me the opposite? Wasn’t it Princess Changding who beat me? She is so arrogant right now, and I can’t see any grievance at all.
Although Emperor Yongning loved Concubine Jiang, he was embarrassed to watch her confuse right and wrong, and his expression suddenly became very difficult.
Concubine Jiang's eyes instantly turned red: "The emperor also said that he loves us mother and daughter the most. Is he trying to fool me? Right now, it is clearly the Thirteenth Duke who is slandering Xiaojiu! The emperor can bear it, but I can't bear it anymore."
After that, she walked up to Yun Bin and Zheng Ti, bent down to look at the mother and daughter, and her unparalleled beauty suddenly enlarged, making people stunned and shocked.
She raised the corners of her lips, with a hint of teasing smile in her eyes, and asked softly: "Concubine Yun, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer it honestly."
When Concubine Yun started crying, her wet eyes showed fear, as if Concubine Jiang was going to kill someone in the next moment, her whole body was trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, please...please ask me."
