Princess Chang'an ignored the mess behind her and walked quickly with her brows furrowed.
It was already late. Seeing that she was still walking towards the study, Nanny Yuan asked her in a low voice, "Do you want to call Mr. Bai?"
Princess Chang'an hummed, glanced at the lights around her that were gradually going out, and ordered her: "Please invite Mr. Bai to the inner study, along with Yuan He, and have them wait for me in the study."
Yuan He is the younger brother of the husband's wife and the brother-in-law of Princess Chang'an. He is more trusted by Princess Chang'an than the husband's wife. Princess Chang'an usually consults with him on any matter.
But calling him after all this was something she had never done before. Nanny Yuan was a little hesitant: "But I'm afraid..."
Yuan He's wife has a hot temper. Unlike the original wife who was so honest and depressed that she suffocated herself to death, she is capable of throwing tantrums and doing anything.
If we ask Yuan He to come over so late, there might be trouble.
Princess Chang'an obviously realized this. She frowned with a look of disgust, but finally gave up the idea of inviting Yuan He. She just asked Nanny Yuan to invite Mr. Bai.
Nanny Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and ordered someone to do it. She then asked Princess Chang'an, "Should I go back and persuade the county lady?"
After all, she is the nanny of Princess Xianrong.
She was also responsible for what Princess Xianrong did. She did not evade the issue. In order to completely prevent the incident from being brought up again in the future, she told Princess Chang'an very frankly: "When the Princess Xianrong was planning to bribe the people in the palace, I was already on guard and advised her..."
This explanation is sufficient for this matter.
Princess Chang'an waved her hand and said, "I know her temper. She won't give up until she reaches the Yellow River. She won't turn back until she hits the south wall. I protected her too well in the past, and she naively thought that she was really that powerful. She even forgot what I said."
This is true, the indomitable courage of Xianrong County Lady is truly...
Just before leaving for the palace, Princess Chang'an warned her to be well behaved and not to cause any trouble.
Princess Xianrong herself agreed to it. She also knew the recent situation and what was going on at home.
She was going to get married, and her husband was the son of a vassal prince. Moreover, Prince Zheng and Wei An were not small figures who could be easily dealt with.
Even Chu Jingxing had suffered at the hands of these two people, but she dared to rush forward without any preparation.
After just a few words, Wei An provoked her to the point of losing her patience.
The most important thing is that he can just do it, and if he succeeds without any involvement, no one will blame her.
What Princess Chang'an cares most about is that she doesn't have the ability to go to the city wall.
This could easily kill her, and even more easily kill her entire family.
This kind of behavior must not be tolerated.
That’s why she was very angry this time: “This has nothing to do with you. She wants to die, and no one can stop her. If she is not taught a lesson this time, she will never know that there is a price to pay for doing something wrong. Let her reflect on herself. When she has reflected on herself, she can be allowed to see people.”
"But when someone comes to the palace to urge you to put on your make-up..." Nanny Yuan helped Princess Chang'an into the study room: "If you don't see anyone, you will inevitably think too much."
"I've thought too much." Princess Chang'an's voice became even colder when she mentioned this matter: "Do you think Princess Linjiang is blind or stupid? Even if she is blind or stupid, she can guess something in such a scene. What's more, she has sharp ears and eyes."
"Add to that Chu Jingxing, that cunning man, and Shen Chen. This matter cannot be concealed." Princess Chang'an sighed: "I locked her up, partly because I didn't want her to see Chu Jingxing's true face too quickly, fearing that she couldn't bear it."
Chu Jingxing is a cold and heartless person who only cares about profit.
But Princess Xianrong is completely different.
She had real feelings for Chu Jingxing, and she made a lot of efforts to marry him smoothly.
Chu Jingxing's scheming and methods would make her lose her mind if he had any intention towards her.
She was no match for Chu Jingxing at all. As long as Chu Jingxing was willing, he could order Lady Xianrong to do anything.
"Let her think about where she went wrong." Princess Chang'an quickened her pace to the desk, sat down and sighed: "If she does things without thinking again, she will die faster in the future."
This is true. If Lady Xianrong continues like this, even if she has ten lives, she may not be able to die.
Nanny Yuan stood aside with her head down, taking out all the new letters that had been delivered today for her, and comforted Princess Chang'an: "I hope the county lady can understand your painstaking efforts."
Princess Chang'an lowered her eyes and read the letter carefully without saying anything else.
King Zheng on the other side could not hide his shock and sat on the stool for a long time without recovering from his shock.
After a long while, the big man outside came in and said that the guests had left. Then he hummed, came back to his senses, waved his hand, turned around and asked Wei An to come over.
Wei An walked over to sit next to him, poured him a cup of tea, and whispered, "Father, do you think Princess Chang'an's power is amazing?"
King Zheng frowned and nodded, looking at her and asked, "Did you notice this a long time ago?"
Wei An took a sip of tea, shook his head with a complicated look, and then nodded: "That's not the case... I was just trying it..."
Give it a try
King Zheng didn't understand what she meant and asked her to explain it more clearly.
Wei An said softly, "I just find it strange. Li Gui Niang obviously wanted to marry Chu Jing Xing, but in the end she had to make stupid moves again and again, and finally Princess Chang Ying lost her composure and completely collapsed. Speaking of which, these things are too coincidental, aren't they, father? Princess Chang An has a very good relationship with Princess Chang Ying. It is said that they are as close as sisters and support each other. But why did Princess Chang Ying plot against Princess Chang An later? And Princess Chang An quickly took the throne after Princess Chang Ying got into trouble?"
Wei An didn’t care much about these things before.
But today she suddenly realized that Princess Xianrong was about to become Chu Jingxing's wife.
And Chu Jingxing seemed to have suddenly turned over a new leaf recently.
This inevitably made her think more.
After all, being more cautious always has its benefits.
Then she was surprised to discover something through this incident - that is, Princess Chang'an was far more powerful and more secretive than she had imagined.
Lady Xianrong is a person who is easily provoked and plotted against, but Princess Chang'an is not like that. She is so shrewd and calculating, and she presses forward step by step, weighing all the pros and cons so clearly.
Was it really true that Princess Changying and Li Gui Niang had successfully plotted against such a person
