"ah… "
"Kang, Princess Kang..."
"I beg my concubine to spare my life, spare my life, I will never say anything again, never again..."
When the screams and begging for mercy started, Liu Pingting seemed to come to her senses.
She stared at her hand in a daze, the beating hand was still trembling, she desperately said in her heart, stop, stop, but it didn't listen to her orders at all.
Liu Pingting closed her eyes tightly, and pinched the trembling hand with the other hand, and it didn't stop until she detected the smell of blood.
She cast a disgusted look at these gossiping court ladies, and said with a sneer, "The next time I hear something from my concubine, be careful with your mouths."
After finishing speaking, without looking at them again, she lifted her skirt slightly and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
At this moment, even paying respects to the queen was forgotten by her.
She wanted to rush back to Liu's house, and she wanted to find out what was going on.
In Liu Xiang's mansion, the gatekeeper yawned slightly.
He just wanted to be lazy, squinted his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a carriage approaching quickly, barely stopping at the gate of Liu's Mansion. He recognized the carriage of King Kang's Mansion, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, wanting to ask for some reward.
But thinking about their eldest lady, Concubine Kang jumped down from the carriage, pushed him away with one hand with a gloomy face, and shouted angrily, "What's in the way." Then she hurried into the gate.
Xiao Cui hurriedly followed, shouting while running, "Princess, slow down, slow down."
"Where is Second Miss?"
Liu Pingting rushed all the way to Liu Yaona's boudoir, but she couldn't be found anywhere, feeling angry and anxious, she grabbed the maid in her yard and opened her mouth to ask.
Sensing that Concubine Kang's face was not looking well, the servant girl trembled and said in a low voice, "Return to Concubine Kang's words, slave... slave girl looked at the second lady and went to the master's study."
Liu Pingting let go of her, and quickly walked towards Liu Xiang's study.
Her father's study is an important place, and it has always been guarded. Seeing her coming, those people wanted to salute, but she waved her hand to stop them.
She took a few steps to the door of the study, and was about to open the door to enter, but she heard the voice of her younger sister Liu Yaona.
Liu Pingting was stunned for a moment, but actually stopped pushing the door, raised her eyebrows and listened.
"Father, there are rumors outside that I will soon become the side concubine of King Ding. Does father know... what's going on?"
When Liu Xiang heard this, he paused for a moment, and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about it."
Obviously know something inside.
Liu Yaona bit her lips lightly, her eye circles were a little red, "But father clearly knows that I..."
"So what?" Liu Xiang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Kang Kang is your brother-in-law, so don't think about it any more, just wait to be your side concubine of Prince Ding. The emperor has a decree, as long as you can successfully marry into Prince Ding's mansion, you will be Princess Ding from now on."
Liu Yaona begged bitterly, "Father, please go and beg the emperor to take back your life, daughter... daughter doesn't like King Ding."
"It's just nonsense. Many people can't ask for the position of princess. Now that the emperor has given it to you, why don't you know how to cherish it." Liu Xiang glared at her impatiently, "If it weren't for your resemblance to Pingting, how could it be your turn for such a good thing? You are not happy, but some people are willing."
"Then let those who are willing go, I would rather not have this face!"
"Snapped!"
Liu Xiang was shaken by the muscles on her angry face, he stood up abruptly, and slapped him hard, "You bastard!"
Liu Yaona covered her swollen face and rushed out of the study crying.
Liu Pingting, who was hiding around the corner, looked ugly, thought for a while, and followed quickly.
