âPrincess Consort, what happened just now? Are you alright?â Peiâer asked.
Jiang Ning took a moment to calm down and shook her head: âIâm fine. How about you, Peiâer?â
Peiâer frowned: âI just woke up⦠Oh, right, the Crown Princess said she wanted to tie you up and take you away. Are you okay? Did she really do that?â
âNo.â Jiang Ning looked back.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger.
It would be best if that bastard Li Jixian died in the fire.
At this moment, Xiaoman rushed over, waving her hands, looking anxious, and shouted, âPrincess Consort, Princess Consort, where have you been?â
Seeing her lively and energetic appearance, Jiang Ningâs heart relaxed, and she waved, âXiaoman, Iâm here.â
Xiaoman saw her, ran over in just a few steps, pushed Peiâer away fiercely, and stared, âWho are you? Stay away from my Princess Consort!â
Peiâer: ââ¦â
This Xiaoman girl is really wild.
Jiang Ning hurriedly said, âXiaoman, you must not be rude. This is Miss Peiâer of the Zhang Family. She sent me out because you were not around. You should thank her.â
No matter how you look at it, she meant well and even got hit by Ms. Ma because of her.
Hearing this, Xiaomanâs expression relaxed, and she gave Peiâer a bow, apologetically saying, âIâm sorry, Sister Peiâer, I misunderstood you, donât be angry.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Peiâer smiled: âIâm not angry, I admire your devotion. Itâs good that everything is alright. Thereâs a flood happening there, you should quickly take the Princess Consort of Yu away, and I should hurry back to find our lady.â
She was worried about her lady since she had been gone for so long.
Hearing the news of the flood in the front yard, the people in the backyard began to stir.
Xiaoman was a bit confused.
She didnât know what had happened.
âPrincess Consort, where should we go now?â
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, âLetâs go to the Crystal Frost Hall first to pick up Wenzan and Lingzi.â
Xiaoman nodded and pushed her away.
âXiaoman, you are not allowed to drink alcohol anymore, did you hear me?â Jiang Ning said.
When it came to this matter, Xiaoman was quite annoyed: âXiaoman knows that alcohol is not a good thing, my father died from drinking. But the sisters in the Splendid Palace told me it was tea, so I drank it. Princess Consort, Iâm sorry, I wonât drink anything given to me by others anymore.â
âItâs also my fault today. I should not have let you go to the Splendid Palace alone. From now on, when you go out, you follow me, and donât go anywhere else.â
âFrom now on, I will never leave the Princess Consortâs side again, there are so many bad people, they all say Xiaoman is a fool, bullying Xiaoman, but Xiaoman is not stupid!â
Listening to her childish words, Jiang Ning finally let out a sigh of relief as they left the East Palace.
She looked back.
This grudge was completely formed.
But it didnât matter, since she knew Li Jixian was such a scum, she naturally couldnât let him continue to be the Crown Prince.
Jiang Ning looked away, her face completely calm.
When they arrived at the Crystal Frost Hall, Jiang Ning told the Emperor about the flood in the East Palace and how the noblewomen were frightened.
The Emperor couldnât help but feel displeased and frowned, âThe East Palace is in such a mess, which shows the incompetence of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.â
âThere is a saying among the people, those who often walk by the river cannot avoid getting their shoes wet. With the Crown Princess hosting banquets every now and then for various reasons, the East Palace is filled with the aroma of food and the sound of debauchery, so a flood is quite normal.â
Jiang Ning fiercely smeared the East Palaceâs reputation.
As expected, the Emperorâs expression grew even more displeased: âSomeone, go see whatâs going on in the East Palace.â
The eunuch obeyed and left.
