famous eldest daughter

Chapter 745
Although she said this in her heart, she would never tell the truth in front of others. With only due respect on her face, she bowed and said: "What exactly is going on, I still need Her Royal Highness to come to His Majesty in person to tell you." Yes, as for how Your Majesty will deal with it, it won’t be too late for Your Highness the Princess to reveal everything, what do you think?”

Standing opposite Xiao Jingyu, the chief servant said, and turned his body slightly, making a gesture of giving way.

Xiao Jingyu raised her chin slightly, snorted arrogantly, turned around and pointed her index finger at the tip of Concubine Li's nose, "I'll let you be proud for a moment!" After saying that, she turned to face the tenth princess in Concubine Li's arms and gritted her teeth, "You damn thing, you dare to fight against me! I'll take action!"

The tenth princess faced the finger stretched out by Xiao Jingyu and opened her mouth as if to bite. Her dark eyes showed no trace of fear. On the contrary, it was Concubine Li who was so frightened that she quickly hugged her and took a step back, "What are you talking about?" , it’s better to wait until His Majesty is in front of you to talk about it. If the Queen is making such a fuss before her death, the Queen who will be disturbed will not be able to rest in peace."

Xiao Jingyu was stimulated by the tenth princess again, and she wanted to raise her hand to tear her mouth off. After hearing this, she had to put down her hand, glared at the tenth princess fiercely, raised her feet and was about to walk along the path that the chamberlain had given way to. .

As soon as he lifted his legs, he immediately grinned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The tenth princess poked half of her leg with a silver hairpin, which was dripping with blood, soaking half of her plain white mourning skirt. She was so angry because of the arrangement that the head chamberlain made to Qi concubine and her daughter that she forgot about it for a moment. The pain in her legs was so painful that when she raised her feet, she couldn't stand it at all. She collapsed on the side of the palace maid.

Seeing this, the head chamberlain had no choice but to have someone carry a soft sedan from the nearby side hall and carry her to the royal study.

Concubine Li hugged Princess Ten and followed closely behind.

After the group of them left, the courtyard, which had been so quiet just now that you could hear a needle drop, suddenly erupted in low murmurs.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yu said to Gu Yuqing, looking away from the backs of Concubine Li and Princess Ten.

Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and shook her head, "This palace is indeed a bottomless dye vat."

Xiao Yu nodded, "For an older child, who can see that she has such courage? Anyone would think that she did this to Jingyu in order to protect her mother and the eleventh princess. Ruthless."

"When the Eleventh Princess was brought here by Xiao Jingyu, I felt strange. It was clearly the Eleventh Princess and the Tenth Princess who had made an agreement. She found a place to rest and asked the Tenth Princess to look after her. How come Xiao Jingyu was just right? The eleventh princess is like this, but the tenth princess is safe and sound, nestled under Concubine Li's lap. It's just..."

With a sigh in his tone, Gu Yuqing paused for a moment and glanced in the direction where they disappeared, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.

"It's just that, knowing that something is wrong, when Xiao Jingyu is about to throw Princess Eleven on the rockery, I still can't help it."

In the scene just now, it was clear that Concubine Li and the chamberlain conspired to completely get rid of Xiao Jingyu after the queen, not to mention her life, at least to make her completely lose her favor in front of the emperor.

The tenth princess, as the only child of Concubine Li, played a crucial role in the whole matter.

Even the words she said to the tenth princess in the kneeling hall just now, which Gu Yuqing could hear and others could naturally hear, now seemed to be deliberate.

As for Princess Eleven's illness...

I don’t know if Princess Eleven and Qi Bin are the single victims in this whole thing, or if they are colluding with them!
Compared to the former guess, Gu Yuqing hoped it was the latter.

After all, judging from the appearance of the Eleventh Princess, she regards the Tenth Princess as her best friend. If this matter is a frame-up by the Tenth Princess against the Eleventh Princess, and the Eleventh Princess does not know what is going on, let her trap and take advantage of her, but she must also be grateful to her. .

This false kindness is okay at the moment, but as they grow up, and as the curtain of gloomy and treacherous palace life opens... Gu Yuqing does not dare to continue thinking about it.

The court is not suitable for any weak and kind-hearted people.

As he was talking, the bell rang low.

The people scattered in the courtyard immediately knelt down into the mourning hall according to their respective positions.

In the imperial study room, Xiao Jingyu, Li Fei, and the ten princesses stood side by side in front of the desk. The head chamberlain bowed down, standing slightly closer to the emperor than they did, and was slowly reporting back.

"...Princess Eleven is badly burned. The old slave has asked people to send her back. In addition, because she is afraid that the palace people will not take good care of her, Qi Concubine also went back with her..."

At this point, Xiao Jingyu let out an angry "Humph" in her throat, and the chamberlain's words were immediately cut off. The emperor couldn't help but frown, and looked at Xiao Jingyu angrily.

"You are wearing a gauze scarf in front of me, what are you talking about!" He said displeasedly towards Xiao Jingyu: "Take it off!"

Even though Xiao Jingyu was arrogant and domineering, she didn't dare to be too stubborn in front of His Majesty. What's more, wearing a veil in front of the emperor, except for the dancers with long sleeves, it was disrespectful to anyone else, and she would not give people any excuse.

It's just the scar on the face...

Xiao Jingyu's heart trembled when she thought of the ugly centipede-like scar on her face.

Just yesterday, the British Duke's palace was beheaded, and the queen died suddenly. Under such a huge blow, Xiao Jingyu rushed to the imperial study room to find the emperor, crying and wailing.

She could no longer remember what they had said. She only remembered how the emperor looked at her with disgust and ordered the chamberlains in the imperial study to drag her down. She also remembered how those chamberlains treated her. How rough.

The scene yesterday was vivid in her mind. Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but trembled. She raised her hand to pull off the veil on her face and knelt down, "Father, I can't blame you for what happened today. The mother's mourning hall is so sacred and inviolable. Eleven But she was resting in the back hall. If her son hadn't come over, she might not have known how long she would have been lying there. The back hall is directly facing the mother's coffin. She is really disrespectful to the mother!"

After Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, the tenth princess glanced at the steward standing on one side with her immature eyes, pursed her lips slightly, broke away from Concubine Li's hand, took a step forward, and knelt down, "Father, on the [-]th She had a fever, and she was dizzy and uncomfortable. Her son persuaded her to go and have a rest. Her mother's spirit in heaven would definitely not blame her. She refused, and insisted on kneeling down. During the break, her son couldn't bear it, so he led her to take a rest. Take her to the back hall."

As she said that, the tenth princess looked towards Xiao Jingyu, her eyes bursting with tears, "As for the eldest sister, it is disrespectful to the queen mother that the back hall is facing the mother's coffin. Erchen and Shiyi really don't know. If they know this, I would rather go further away and let Eleven rest at the small concierge, but I will definitely not take her there."

The choked sobbing sound gradually rose with the voice.
