Concubine De slowly stepped forward, and Empress Chu said worriedly: "Concubine De, be careful."
Concubine De remained silent, only looking at the hairpin on Yu Wenling's neck, fearing that Concubine Xian would be irritated and she would prick it out regardless.
She was a bit arrogant, thinking that if the princess came out later, she could quickly counterattack the virtuous concubine, so she slowly moved over, stretched out her hands and pressed down, "I'm here, let go of the princess.
"
"Climb over here!" Why didn't Concubine Xian know what she was thinking? Concubine De was very agile with her hands and feet. If she hadn't been kneeling on the ground, wouldn't it have been easy for her to restrain her?
Concubine De was so angry that her eyes were red. No one could humiliate people better than Concubine Xian.
But I couldn't irritate her right now, so I could only slowly lie down with my legs bent and move over.
The imperial guard wanted to take a step closer, but Concubine Xian rebuked him angrily.
Empress Chu and the concubines watched with fear. Concubine De was still very popular, and since she had no children, no one expected anything to happen to her.
How often has something like this happened in the palace? I dare not even think about it. A concubine could actually take the princess hostage in the palace, and the one she held hostage was her own daughter.
Concubine De crawled over and said softly: "Okay, you can let go of the princess."
Concubine Xian smiled sinisterly, and slowly raised her hand to take away the hairpin that was pierced on Yu Wenling's neck. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Empress Chu was about to ask the princess to come back quickly, but Concubine Xian suddenly scratched her head with the hairpin.
On the concubine’s forehead.
It was a fierce force. He held the hairpin in his hand and slashed hard across De Concubine's forehead. Blood spattered and then he kicked De Concubine on the top of her head, knocking De Concubine down the stone steps.
Moreover, she could quickly grab Yu Wenling's hair back and continue to press him to the ground.
Everyone exclaimed, and someone rushed over to help Concubine De. Her face was covered with blood and she almost fainted.
Empress Chu was so angry that she trembled all over, "Concubine Xian, are you really crazy?"
Concubine Xian was not crazy. She called Concubine De over just to vent her anger.
Just because she is not crazy, she is not willing to let Concubine De exchange with Yu Wenling. The emperor may not issue a decree to favor the Su family because of Concubine De. Concubine De has no children in the harem and is not an important person. How could the emperor suffer for her?
What about grievances?
But Ling'er is different. Now he is eager to promote the economy, win over businessmen, and has settled his marriage with the Leng family, so he will not lose big because of small things.
For the sake of national affairs and the sake of the world, he can endure any grievance.
Yu Wenling cried hysterically, "Concubine Mother, don't do this. Do you want to kill Concubine De?"
She only saw the blood on Concubine De's face and thought that Concubine De was going to die, so she cried until she became hoarse.
"Call the Emperor and Yuan Qing to come here, otherwise, I would rather break the jade today than make the whole house." Concubine Xian said sternly.
Empress Chu and the imperial concubine looked solemn. If something like this happened today, the two of them, one in charge of the Sixth Palace and the other as an assistant, would have to be punished severely.
But if the emperor and the princess don't come now, I'm afraid it won't be over.
Empress Chu had no choice but to send someone to invite Emperor Ming Yuan again.
When Eunuch Mu Ru heard what had happened, he was so frightened that he wanted to go in and report the matter. However, as soon as he knocked on the door, Emperor Ming Yuan angrily told him to get out.
Emperor Ming Yuan summoned the most important ministers in the court and the royal family's elders today to discuss whether to depose the crown prince. Fortunately for the ministers, almost all of the royal family, except Prince Rui, suggested deposing the crown prince.
When he was irritable, Eunuch Mu Ru came to disturb him, so he naturally had to spread his anger.
Eunuch Mu Ru was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated. For the emperor, today's big things are not as important as the prince's affairs. Tomorrow is the morning of the court. If there is no consensus with the emperor and ministers today, there will be no one in the court tomorrow.
Great dispute.
Over at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Man'er came to report to Yuan Qing Ling that Concubine Xian was causing trouble in the palace and had kidnapped the princess.
