Ji Lingxuan held her chin in her hand, her expression unchanged: "In this case, I won't go in, butler, let's go back to the palace!"
"Yes!" This time it was the butler acting as the coachman. He pulled the carriage and turned around without any hesitation.
He was so cool and unrestrained, leaving at the drop of a hat, which stunned the guards and the eunuchs who were watching the show in the dark at the palace gate!
If Ji Lingxuan really goes back this time, wouldn't all the emperor's anger be vented on him?
At this time, he didn't care about his face anymore. The eunuch rushed over and shouted: "Princess Chu, please stay. These servants don't know your identity, otherwise they would not dare to stop you. Your Majesty has been waiting for three hours. We are here."
Come in!”
"You can't even see such a big sign of the Prince of Chu's Palace on the carriage. Our country of Yan actually uses people like this to guard the palace gate. If someone breaks in at this moment, I will really feel worried for Your Majesty!" Ji Lingxuan looked at it with a sneer and a sarcastic smile on her lips.
To the eunuch.
The sign used for this trip is the exclusive symbol of the King of Chu. There is no need to check when entering the palace gate. If no one instigates it, how could these guards be so bold?
The eunuch was furious, but he had no choice but to pretend not to hear Ji Lingxuan's words, and said in a male-female voice: "I will report the guard's dereliction of duty right now, and he will be severely punished. Princess, I'll wait."
Let's go into the palace first, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!"
"I'm just a woman. I'm not allowed to enter the palace without an edict. The guard just said that I won't be informed if I don't kneel down to burn a stick of incense. I have to learn from it. If my father-in-law brings the guards to kneel down to burn a stick of incense, I will
Consider entering the palace!" Ji Lingxuan held her hand on the edge of the carriage window with a playful look on her face.
Are you kidding? I said you were not allowed to enter before, but now I am allowed to enter. Isn’t that too shameless?
"Princess Chu, those are the rules of the royal family. Now that you are so contemptuous of the imperial power, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?" The eunuch said with a gloomy face, full of warning.
It would be fine if it were somewhere else, but this is the entrance to the palace, and the guards represent the imperial power. If you kneel down to the princess here, is it not a laughing stock?
Where is the imperial power!
If this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor will not only hate Ji Lingxuan, but will also not easily let go of these people who undermine the emperor's authority.
Ji Lingxuan naturally knew this. Anyway, the emperor already hated Chu Yingyi, and he, the newly married Princess Chu, was also in trouble, so he only had to take care of the face of the Chu Palace.
Just asking these people to kneel down is already considered an extra mercy.
"Really? In that case, I won't make it difficult for you. I will go back and apologize to the prince. Butler, let's go back to the house!" Ji Lingxuan looked dejected and lowered the curtain, while the butler also turned around.
The eunuch immediately panicked. If Ji Lingxuan left because of this, the King of Chu would definitely investigate the matter. Then it would not be a matter of kneeling down and burning incense, and it might be difficult to save his head.
Moreover, one's relatives and friends will definitely be ostracized and angry because of being a supporter of the King of Chu.
Thinking of this, the eunuch broke out in a cold sweat: "Princess Chu, please calm down. I have realized my mistake. I will kneel down to you and invite you to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Suddenly, the entire entrance to the palace was filled with scenes of weapons touching the ground and guards kneeling.
To these guards, the King of Chu was actually more terrifying than the Emperor.
Kneeling down in front of Princess Chu here will not only lose the imperial authority but also make the emperor unhappy, but blocking Princess Chu from entering the palace will offend the King of Chu and cause dissatisfaction among the people.
The incident soon reached the emperor's ears, and a fine inkstone was smashed by him.
"You are so good Ji Lingxuan, it is really unreasonable for a fox to pretend to be a tiger's power!"
King Chu's arrogance has made the emperor unhappy. Now Ji Lingxuan also despises the imperial power. If the emperor just wanted to use Ji Lingxuan to humiliate Chu Yingyi before, now he has murderous intentions.
…
"Your Majesty, my wife is here, long live my emperor!" In the royal study, Ji Lingxuan remembered Chu Yingyi's words, so she did not kneel down to salute, but only bowed slightly.
The emperor's face was gloomy and he looked very dissatisfied, but if he forced Ji Lingxuan to kneel down, it would be too ungrateful.
As the king of a country, how can he care about such a trivial matter?
Even if you care about everything, you can't put it on the table.
The emperor gave Ji Lingxuan a majestic look, snorted softly and said, "Princess Chu is such a big arrogant person that she made me and my two beloved queens wait!"
The emperor did not let Ji Lingxuan stand up, and naturally Ji Lingxuan did not dare to defy the imperial power so openly, which was a serious crime. Now that the emperor hated her very much, he would definitely not let her go easily.
She cursed the emperor for being gloomy in her heart, and Ji Lingxuan looked calm on her face: "My wife is scared, but she is actually a newlywed. She was too controlling last night. In the morning, the prince held me back and refused to let her go. Otherwise, even if I have the courage, I would not be able to do anything."
Dare you keep your majesty waiting!"
After saying that, his plain expression showed a hint of red.
Putting all the blame on Chu Yingyi, Ji Lingxuan didn't blush or gasp, but the emperor and the two ministers suddenly looked weird. With your appearance, King Chu is still controlling you?
Ji Lingxuan acted as if she hadn't seen it, and continued to say coyly: "Your Majesty, I worked too hard last night and my wife is not in good health. I am afraid that I lost my etiquette in front of the emperor. Please allow me to get up!"
Since the emperor won't let her get up, she should raise it herself. As long as the emperor cares about his face, he won't embarrass her in this regard.
"Pingshen!"
These two words were squeezed out by the emperor from between his teeth.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ji Lingxuan's legs were a little numb. This ancient man bent too low, and he almost couldn't bear it anymore. If he couldn't get up, he might have to have close contact with the ground.
Today's highlight is to get Ji Lingxuan to replace Chu Yingyi and confess the crime of killing the two young masters Wang and Li. Although Ji Lingxuan avoided it this time with clever words, the result is the same. Once the crime is found guilty, there are many ways to torture her.
The emperor glanced at the two ministers on the side, and they both knelt down in unison. It seemed that they were both talented actors!
"Your Majesty, yesterday Mr. Wang's grandson and I kindly went to attend the wedding of King Chu, but we were brutally abused. We were seriously injured and carried back to the palace. He died in the middle of the night. I beg your Majesty to make the decision for Mr. Wang and me and to give my grandson justice!"
Mr. Wang and General Lin looked sad and angry, almost saying that Chu Yingyi was a murderer.
Before the two of them could finish speaking, the emperor raised his hand to stop them, and shouted majestically: "Ji Lingxuan, what's your crime?"
"I don't know!"
"I don't know!" The emperor's voice was full of murderous intent: "Master Wang and General Lin's grandson went to the mansion to congratulate them and were brutally tortured to death. You actually said you didn't know!"
Ji Lingxuan raised her eyes and met the emperor's murderous gaze. She did not dodge at all, but replied calmly: "Last night, after paying homage to the concubine, I was sent to the bridal chamber. I have no idea what happened in the front hall."
I don’t know, let alone harming the two adults’ grandchildren, what crime can I commit?”
