Princess Yongning's unprecedented strength made Princess Mingchang a little uncomfortable. She was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but sneered: "What a joke, I didn't know that our princess was so arrogant. Family members don't trust family members, but you actually believed what the Su family said and turned your guns against Fenyang!"
Princess Mingchang has always had a condescending attitude towards Princess Yongning. She could not stand being dominated by Princess Yongning, no matter whether she was right or wrong.
Princess Yongning looked at her in silence. Unlike the usual times when Princess Mingchang got angry, she was the first to be dwarfed. This time, she was not panicked at all, and even her heart was calm. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Sister, I have never been valued in my life. Compared with you, I am nothing."
In fact, Princess Mingchang had been favored since she was a child. When she was getting married, she felt that the choice of her husband was not good, so she refused to marry. Even so, the late emperor did not do anything to her.
When he deposed the emperor, he also showed special respect to her.
Even now that Emperor Yuanfeng has ascended to the throne, it is because of her that she chose her side in advance that she chose a lifetime of wealth and glory.
Princess Yongning is always a head shorter than her, but actually that’s a big deal. She has been accustomed to relying on others since she was a child. For Princess Yongning, it is not difficult to humble herself to others.
But this time, she could no longer retreat.
She curled her lips sarcastically, "You said I was taking advantage of my misfortune, but you should think about how you treated me. Doesn't Fenyang know that if his plan succeeds, my husband will also be implicated. How can I, the unpopular princess, cope with it? When he was plotting against us, why didn't you stand up for me? Why, if he needs to use it, we are one family, but if he doesn't need to use it, then I can be the one who can do whatever he wants?!"
She put down the cup in her hand without giving in, and said calmly: "If you want to plead for Fenyang, you can go yourself. You are highly respected and much more capable than me. Why do you need me?"
Princess Mingchang stood up in an instant: "Good! Good! Good! I didn't even know that, Xiao Yuan, you are really great! I hope you will always be so strong!"
She walked away in a huff, not wanting to stay here any longer.
Even after getting on the carriage, he was still furious and spilled the tea with his hand.
No one dared to provoke her again, and they returned to the mansion quietly. She ignored everyone and went straight to her main courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she looked angrily at the person sitting in the rosewood armchair by the south window, and vented her anger: "I clearly said that it was Tang Yuan and Tang Ru'an who first reported Fenyang this time. Yongning's personality would definitely listen to Tang Yuan and would never speak for Fenyang. But you asked me to go. Now, not only have I hit a wall, but I'm also very angry!"
"What are you anxious about?" The other person stood up and looked at Princess Mingchang with a smile: "Look, after not seeing you for many years, your temper is still the same. I really envy you. Over the years, I'm afraid you have only suffered a few times of humiliation."
Princess Mingchang was extremely annoyed: "Stop saying these sarcastic words! Qi Yunxi, what do you want?!"
Qi Yunxi stood up, still smiling. There were no wrinkles on his well-maintained face. He looked much younger than Mrs. He. Seeing Princess Mingchang say this, she sighed softly, "What can I do? Your Highness, I am helping the prince, am I not? Look, from Prince Zhuang to the current Prince Fenyang, they are not very reliable in doing things, otherwise, how could they be played around by two little kids?"
Princess Mingchang narrowed her eyes and said, "What's the point of you talking nonsense?"
"How can it be nonsense?" Qi Yunxi laughed: "You know, I never talk nonsense, and I never do unnecessary things."
Princess Mingchang thought of the past, pursed her lips, a trace of vigilance flashed across her eyes, and finally softened her tone and asked: "Then let me go find Yongning..."
"Of course I will help you clear it up." Qi Yunxi had no real respect for Princess Mingchang. He held his chin with one hand and looked at her: "For someone who is really related, it is too late to distance yourself from her now. Besides, with your personality, it would be abnormal if you didn't go and cause trouble for Princess Yongning."
She laughed and stood up. "Okay, I know you don't want to see me, I'm leaving now. Don't worry, Your Highness. I really only need your help this time. I'm leaving now."
Princess Mingchang breathed a sigh of relief, frowned with a wary and complicated look, and asked her where she was going.
"Let's go see that little kid." Qi Yunxi smiled. "I heard that Shuyun brought her up by her side and loved her granddaughter more than her own daughter. I finally got a chance to come back, so of course I have to go see her."
Princess Mingchang said nothing. She watched her leave the door, then she clenched her fist with a sinister look.
Princess Yongning waited until Princess Mingchang left before she realized that she had been sweating all over. She was so used to being servile that she found it difficult to muster up the courage.
When she saw Tang Yuan coming out from behind the screen, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Did you hear everything?"
Tang Yuan snorted, "This is absolutely ridiculous! We were framed, but she said we were ungrateful. Don't listen to her nonsense. After all, it's just because she's close to Prince Fenyang that she's biased towards him. If she really has the guts, she should go and argue with the eldest grandson. Everyone knows that it's not us, or even the Su family, who's refusing to give in now, but the eldest grandson."
He didn't have the courage to challenge Xiao Heng, but took his anger out on them.
It's really ridiculous.
Princess Yongning was a little tired: "But now I have completely turned against her and Fenyang. If in the future..."
Tang Yuan's eyes darkened: "There is always a way out. Besides, instead of enduring their wrath, it is better to find another way. Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Why can't they help Xiao Heng among the royal family
Roads are made by people. The reason why Princess Mingchang has her current status is simply because of her successful speculation.
Princess Yongning gave him a reproachful look and said, "How can it be that simple? The eldest grandson of the emperor is still struggling, just look at what Fenyang did this time."
Just as she finished saying this, Prince Fenyang died of an acute illness in the clan residence that night.
Before the three courts started the trial, the prince died suddenly in the clan house, shocking the court.
After receiving the news, Su Rong went back to see Su Yao, and both of them saw the worry and solemnity in each other's eyes.
