Princess Yongjia happened to have so many rashes but she didn’t itch, but her face was so scary that people didn’t dare to take another look.
When Princess Yongjia saw that so many imperial doctors could not diagnose the disease, she was so angry that she fell into tears in the arms of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother felt extremely distressed, "Don't cry, the Ai family will definitely find a famous doctor to heal your face."
"Grandma, how will I see anyone in the future?" Princess Yongjia cried out of breath: "Maybe someone wants to harm me..."
She stopped talking and suddenly said angrily: "It must be Gu Xiyan who did this to me!"
The Queen Mother had also heard of Gu Xiyan's name, and she said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"
After all, Gu Xiyan is also the eldest daughter of the Marquis Wanqing Mansion. Although she was not taken seriously by the Marquis Mansion before, now that Marquis Wanqing is protecting her, she has found a good marriage, and it is a marriage granted by the emperor. She does not dare to look down upon it.
Gu Xiyan.
"It's true! Grandma, that woman must have done the murder." Princess Yongjia then told everything that happened on the day of the food festival, except that she concealed the fact that she wanted to use hot water to ruin Gu Xiyan's appearance.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face became even darker: "You were blackmailed by Gu Xiyan out of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?!"
Princess Yongjia nodded vigorously: "I didn't know it at first, but later someone handed me an anonymous letter, and I knew that I had fallen into Gu Xiyan's scheme."
Now that things have happened, she has nothing to hide.
Her face must have been ruined by Gu Xiyan, so there is nothing wrong with seeking revenge from Gu Xiyan. She is the noble daughter of the Xuan Changhou Mansion, her mother is the eldest princess, and her grandmother is the current Queen Mother. She cannot be betrayed by Gu Xiyan.
Such a down-and-out lady was bullied!
"Come here, bring Gu Xiyan to the Ai family. The Ai family will interrogate it personally!" The Queen Mother was furious.
She has always wanted wind and rain in her life, so how could she endure her favorite granddaughter being bullied like this?
Not only was the whole capital spread about the disfigurement of Princess Yongjia, but the matter also reached the ears of Emperor Chengde.
Yesterday, Zi Mo said that he was partial, but today, Yongjia's appearance was ruined, and he had to associate this matter with Zi Mo.
"The Queen Mother has also left the palace?" Emperor Chengde asked after pondering.
"As soon as the Queen Mother heard that Princess Yongjia had been disfigured, she went to the Xuanchanghou Mansion and brought many doctors there to help the princess with her diagnosis." Liu Qing did not dare to hide anything.
Emperor Chengde also knew to some extent the unforgiving temperament of Princess Yongjia. If Yongjia wanted to get Gu Xiyan to take action, and if the Queen Mother was involved...
Emperor Chengde originally wanted Liu Qing to pay attention to the news in the Xuanchanghou Mansion, but he was still worried that Gu Xiyan would be implicated, so he changed his mind temporarily, "I will go to the Xuanchanghou Mansion!"
Aunt Zhao, who was serving the Queen Mother closely, entered the Wanqing Hou Mansion and went straight to Xiyuan. She declared that she was following the Queen Mother's decree and asked Gu Xiyan to go to the Xuanchang Hou Mansion.
Because it is the Queen Mother’s decree, no one dares to disobey it.
Gu Xiyan knew something was wrong when she received the news. Princess Yongjia must have thought she was behind it, otherwise the Queen Mother would not invite her to Xuanchanghou Mansion.
She knows how much the Queen Mother dotes on Princess Yongjia. When she enters the Xuanchanghou Mansion, she is afraid that she will shed her skin even if she doesn’t die.
"The Empress Dowager has issued an edict that such a major matter must be discussed with my grandmother. I will first go to Zaohui Hall to see my grandmother..."
"Miss Gu, the Queen Mother has an edict, please don't waste your time, Miss Gu. Why, Miss Gu still dares to make the Queen Mother wait?!" Aunt Zhao has served the Queen Mother for many years, and she has a majestic aura about her.
Gu Xiyan turned to look at Aunt Zhao, her eyes were gentle, but there was also an unspeakable aura: "Here, go to Zaohui Hall and stop by. You won't waste time. If you are eager to reply, you can go to the Queen Mother first.
Report back."
Under Gu Xiyan's gaze, Aunt Zhao clenched her fists. With an old face, she said in a cold voice: "Miss Gu, please hurry up. If it takes too long, the Queen Mother will be furious.
The Qinghou Mansion cannot afford it!"
This is a warning to Gu Xiyan not to play tricks.
Even if Gu Xiyan delays for time, she cannot change the result of being punished by the Queen Mother.
Gu Xiyan glanced at Qiushi. Qiushi received the look from Gu Xiyan and knew that her girl was asking her to go next door to deliver a message.
Hu Die spoke at this time: "Xiyan, I will accompany you to Zaohui Hall!"
Qiushi felt slightly relieved when she heard Hu Die's words. She took a look and took the lead to leave Xiyuan and go to the next door.
Aunt Yin was about to come over to Gu Xiyan to discuss treating the young master's illness, but she didn't expect Qiushi to come suddenly.
After listening to Qiushi's words, Nanny Yin reassured her: "Don't worry, the girl will be fine. I will go to the government office to find the young master now. Even if the young master cannot be brought here in time, there will be someone secretly protecting Miss Gu."
After Nanny Yin finished explaining to Cai Yu, she hurried out of the house and went to the government office.
Zhou Mu was busy, and when he heard that Aunt Yin was looking for her, he immediately left the office.
When Nanny Yin saw Zhou Mu coming out, she immediately stepped forward and whispered: "The Queen Mother is taking Miss Gu to the Xuanchanghou Mansion. The young master needs to go to the Xuanchanghou Mansion immediately."
Zhou Mu's face darkened, and he wasted no time. He was about to get on the carriage and turned back to the official office.
He quickly left the official office and asked Qi Zhiyuan to drive to Xuanchanghou Mansion as quickly as possible.
That Xiang Qiushi returned to Wanqing Hou Mansion after delivering the message, and Gu Xiyan was about to leave the Hou Mansion with Aunt Zhao.
Hu Die gave Qiushi a comforting look, and Qiushi's heart calmed down.
As long as Nanny Yin successfully finds Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou will definitely rush to Xuan Changhou Mansion in time, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
Wanqinghou Mansion is only two streets away from Xuanchanghou Mansion, so we arrived quickly.
As the eldest girl of Wanqing Hou Mansion, Gu Xiyan came to Xuanchang Hou Mansion for the first time.
When she went to the hall, the Queen Mother and Princess Duanqing were already sitting in their seats, in a prepared posture.
Gu Xiyan was about to step forward to greet her, when suddenly the maid's voice came from behind: "Mrs. Liu of Wanqing Marquis Mansion is here!"
Gu Xiyan raised her eyebrows upon hearing this.
She went to Zaohui Hall mainly to delay time, but she didn't expect that the old lady would follow her to the Xuanchang Hou Mansion.
The old lady appeared with the support of Ci Gu. As soon as she entered the hall, she said: "I learned that the Queen Mother was leaving the palace, so I came here specifically to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
When she said hello, she didn't forget to ask Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan also sent greetings to the Queen Mother, and then to Princess Duanqing.
When the Queen Mother saw the old lady rushing over to interfere, she smiled instead of being angry: "It is said that the Liu family does not value Miss Gu, but from the Yi Ai family's perspective, the old lady does."
Are you here to support Gu Xiyan?
The old lady said to Xini: "Don't believe the rumors. Our sister Xi is dignified and self-possessed, and the Liu family values her."
Princess Duanqing thought of what her beloved daughter had suffered, so she put down her tea cup and said, "Gu Xiyan, I want to ask you, did you collude with Jixianglou at the food festival last time to deliberately design to anger Yongjia and blackmail her for hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
