Ning Guzhou knew that there was no need to waste time on the second prince, so he didn't even bother to look at him.
The second prince gave him a cold look, his eyes full of disdain.
Ning Guzhou has been lonely and cold-tempered since he was a child, and his relationship with the princes is only average.
After he opened a new residence, he lived in a separate courtyard outside the city all year round. He rarely had contact with the princes, and the relationship between the brothers became even more distant.
The second prince has never been very fond of Ning Guzhou. Recently, he has been praised so harshly that he feels a bit arrogant.
Fortunately, he still had some sense of authority and did not say harsh words to his face. He just thought in his mind that when he ascended the throne, he would definitely kill Ning Guzhou.
He didn't get a response from Ning Guzhou, so he scolded the second prince and concubine again: "You are the same, what do you have to argue with the seventh brother and sister?"
"It's not like you don't know that she grew up in a village with no rules!"
"You are her sister-in-law, of noble birth, why should you care about her!"
The second prince's concubine behaved like a little sheep in front of him and said softly: "Your Highness is right, I shouldn't argue with my seventh younger sister."
"It's just that she acted too arrogantly tonight and didn't take me seriously at all. I couldn't help it..."
At this time, Wang Dequan came out and said: "Two princes, princess, and the emperor are waiting for you inside."
The second prince nodded and walked in first.
Wang Dequan glanced at the second prince and his wife, with a hint of sarcasm in his slightly restrained eyes.
The second prince acted like he was going to be the prince, which was really shallow and ridiculous.
Others may not know it, but he knows it all too well. Emperor Cheng Ming never thought of making the second prince the crown prince!
Wang Dequan glanced at Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin again, his eyes were deep.
There were so many princes, and he felt that the one he couldn't understand the most was Ning Guzhou.
At the same time, he also couldn't understand Emperor Cheng Ming's attitude towards Ning Guzhou. He always felt that Emperor Cheng Ming was not as cold towards Ning Guzhou as he saw on the surface.
When entering the palace, Ning Guzhou let go of Tang Miaoxin.
Her hair was disheveled and there were blood marks on her face. She looked like an injured kitten, which was pitiful.
Emperor Cheng Ming sat on the big chair in the middle and frowned slightly when he saw her like this.
He suddenly remembered that one day many years ago, Su Ling'er appeared in his courtyard covered in blood.
He was shocked and asked her what was going on.
But she wiped the blood on him and said with a smile: "Are you scared? Do I look like a female ghost? Am I scary?"
It turned out that she made a bet with Cheng Lixue on whether she could scare him.
Tang Miaoxin and Su Ling'er looked very similar, so whenever Emperor Cheng Ming saw similar scenes, he would think of Su Ling'er.
Su Ling'er's injury was fake at first, but Tang Miaoxin's injury seemed real.
Emperor Cheng Ming's face immediately darkened.
Su Letian and Su Jue, who were sitting next to him, also had dark faces:
The second princess is so brave, she actually dares to bully Tang Miaoxin like this!
If they don't peel off the skin of the second prince and concubine today, they will write the character Su upside down!
The second princess thought that Emperor Chengming was angry because of Tang Miaoxin.
She immediately knelt on the ground and the villain complained first: "Father, King Qin and Princess Qin ordered the guards to beat up my daughter-in-law's maidservant and kill my daughter-in-law's guard."
"They also beat my daughter-in-law violently and asked my father to make the decision for me!"
After saying this, the room was very quiet, and Emperor Cheng Ming glanced at the second prince and concubine coldly.
Wang Dequan's eyes also glanced in the direction of the second prince's concubine, his eyes full of coolness.
When the uncles and nephews of the Su family came over just now, they had already told Emperor Cheng Ming what happened.
If the second princess admitted her mistake as soon as she came in, Emperor Cheng Ming might not embarrass her too much because of her good attitude in admitting her mistake.
But as soon as she came in, she put all the blame on Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou. She was afraid that she would be in bad luck tonight.
After the second princess finished speaking, she also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace, and she was a little confused for a moment.
Emperor Chengming said expressionlessly: "Really? How did I hear that this incident was caused by you robbing Tang Miaoxin of bath water?"
"But why do you think they are attacking you for no reason?"
Su Letian stood up and said, "I happened to be passing by nearby tonight and saw the whole thing."
"I have just told the emperor the details. I just want to ask the emperor, how could Dayan allow a woman like the second prince's concubine to be his daughter-in-law?"
"It's okay for her to insult me, a person from another country. After all, our first city is small, and I come from a rural background, so I can't stand on the stage."
"But she even slandered her own sister-in-law, and the little maid next to her dared to point fingers at the majestic princess."
"I'm afraid this is not only domineering, but also a little unethical."
The second prince and the second prince's concubine all changed their expressions when they heard this. The meaning of Su Letian's words was really serious.
The second prince only knew that the second prince's concubine was quarreling with Tang Miaoxin, but he didn't know that she even scolded Su Letian!
He asked the second princess coldly: "Is what Mr. Su said the truth?"
Of course, the second princess would not admit it, and said hurriedly: "It's okay, I didn't insult Mr. Su, this is all just a misunderstanding!"
She really didn't expect that Su Letian would come to Chengming to complain!
Su Letian sneered: "The second prince and concubine are going to give me thirty blows. How can this be a misunderstanding?"
"If this is also a misunderstanding, then after the murder and arson, can the relationship be cleared by just saying a misunderstanding?"
Su Jue said from the side: "Your Majesty, I know that our first city is a bit small, and in terms of national strength, it is not as good as your Yan."
"But we people in the First City really can't do such things as insulting our brothers and confusing right and wrong."
The second prince immediately panicked. He had spent a lot of effort trying to win over the First City. He had just gained some attention recently, but unexpectedly, he was disturbed by the second prince's concubine!
Even if he couldn't win over the First City, he definitely couldn't be his enemy!
He raised his hand and slapped the second princess: "Tell me, what exactly did you do?"
The second prince's concubine knew that something bad was going on when she heard the words of the uncle and nephew of the Su family. She received a slap from the second prince and knew that something bad was going to happen tonight.
She gritted her teeth and said with red eyes: "I'm just going to borrow some hot water from my seventh brother and sister!"
"She didn't lend it to me and she beat her up. Is it my fault?"
Tang Miaoxin wiped her tears and said, "Second sister-in-law is here to borrow water, she is here to grab it!"
"When I lived in the village, the village boss in the village would at least be polite when he wanted to borrow something. The second sister-in-law's maid would just grab it and beat someone if she couldn't get it!"
"I know that I grew up in Zhuangzi and have never seen the world. The water boiled by the people in Prince Qin's palace can be used by the second sister-in-law. It is the creation of those water, but I am also a serious princess!"
"I also know that my prince is currently serving as a seventh-grade police officer in Jingzhao Mansion. You all look down upon him, but that is also an official appointed by my father!"
"I just want to ask my second sister-in-law, if in your eyes, my prince is not worthy of being my father's son?"
