Chapter 179

The imperial concubine went out and shouted to the people outside: "Stop."

Meng Yuxuan followed the imperial concubine, watched the hidden guards stop, and then said to Jasmine: "Let our people go back too! The imperial concubine is her own, and everything is just a misunderstanding."

Jasmine looked suspiciously at the noble concubine with a ferocious expression, secretly thinking about what an outrageous thing her master had done to make that self-confident noble concubine so angry.But it's good to say 'clear', to avoid a bloody disaster.After all, this is the princess mansion, it is not wise to do something here.

The dark guard retreated into the shadows.Ye Qi and the others stopped shooting arrows.If it weren't for the arrows all over the ground and the bloodstains all over the ground, it would be impossible to tell that there was a bloody battle here just now.

Meng Yuxuan waved her hand with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, we will meet later. By the way, the little handsome boy will wake up soon, you can continue."

The noble concubine snorted coldly, and said, "Ninth Princess, thank you for your hospitality. I will always remember your 'kindness' to me."

"You don't need to be so polite. We are both women, and we should understand each other." Meng Yuxuan said with a light smile, "Jasmine, let's go! The show at Princess Hualing's place is about to change. The Princess Mansion is really lively. This way Put on a good show about meeting a lover in secret, and put on a good show over there. If you come to the princess mansion every day, you can watch the play every day."

"Princess, these plays can only be sung if you are on stage. They can't sing without you here. Don't tell me you like singing this kind of plays?" Jasmine muttered, "Your hobbies are really strange."

"It's true. It's tiring to sing like this every day. I only like watching plays, not singing. If I have to be on stage for every play, it will be boring." Meng Yuxuan hummed.

Meng Yuxuan took Jasmine out of the bamboo forest.She looked around, but saw no sign of anyone.Jasmine found out what she was looking for and asked, "Princess, what are you looking for?"

"I want to know if Ye Qi and the others have left the Princess Mansion." Meng Yuxuan said, "If they fall into the hands of Princess Hua Ling, they will be very dangerous."

"Don't worry. Ye Qi has sent a safety signal, and they have not fallen into the hands of the princess. The princess should worry about the next situation! All the wives have fallen into the water, and only you are safe. Even if you can pick yourself up If you go out, Princess Hualing will also take the opportunity to make trouble." Jasmine sighed, "As long as I think of the poisonous snakes all over the yard, I will panic."

"Poisonous snake?" Meng Yuxuan didn't realize it at first, but after she thought about it, she realized that Jasmine meant something else.She chuckled lightly and said, "This metaphor is very apt, isn't it a poisonous snake?"

In front is the Princess Court just now.Faintly heard arguing inside.Meng Yuxuan frowned and said, "Are the poisonous snakes biting each other? I really don't want to see their ugliness!"

"Because the poisonous snakes are almost biting, the princess should go in quickly! Anyway, I will face it sooner or later, so it's better to deal with them earlier." Jasmine pushed Meng Yuxuan into it.

When Meng Yuxuan stepped into the courtyard, everyone looked at her.At this time, the drowned ladies had already changed their clothes and put on their makeup.However, their faces were ashen-colored, their eyes were full of anger, and the fear that had not dissipated remained on their faces.Even if sitting in front of them was Princess Hua Ling, whom they didn't dare to provoke before, they couldn't care less when their lives were threatened.They were very excited as they said something to Princess Hualing.It was only when she saw Meng Yuxuan that she calmed down.

"Ninth Princess, where have you been?" Princess Hua Ling looked at her coldly.

Meng Yuxuan looked at Princess Hualing innocently, and said, "Didn't the princess say that you can walk around? I listen to the princess' order and am visiting your beautiful garden!"

"Everyone escaped death just now, but you were visiting the courtyard. Ninth Concubine, this is a little unreasonable!" Princess Ziyang sneered, "According to them, you watched them fall into the water just now, but did not save them. Ninth Concubine, why is that?"

"Where did this come from? I did see them fall into the water, but I can't swim, so I went to find someone to save them. I didn't know the terrain of the Princess Mansion, and then I got lost. When I found the way When I heard the news that they had been rescued, I was completely relieved. I thought I would not disturb the princess. After all, I couldn’t help, so I stayed outside for so long. Is it my kindness? Being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs? That would hurt my little heart!" Meng Yuxuan scratched her chest, looking hurt.

"The Ninth Princess did say to help us find someone just now." The military officer's wife said tremblingly.

"Shut up! Madam Zhang, just now the princess used a branch to pull Madam Ben ashore, but you took Madam Ben's position. Madam Ben was almost killed by you. You are not qualified to speak for others now." Madam Li sneezed, The pale cheeks looked lifeless, and compared to the delicate makeup just now, she seemed to be ten years older.

"I didn't do it on purpose." The military officer's wife said fearfully, "Madam, please hold your hands high and spare me once."

"In the situation just now, the prime minister's wife was so frightened that she couldn't hold onto the branch at all. Madam Zhang has been practicing martial arts with her husband, and she is flexible, so she went ashore first. Only when she got ashore first, others would have the opportunity to go ashore." The third concubine next to her said coldly: "What is wrong with Mrs. Zhang? If it was the prime minister's wife who was rescued at the beginning, is the princess capable of saving everyone? If I am not mistaken, Mrs. Zhang One person saved more than a dozen wives."

"That's right! If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhang, my concubine would have sunk to the bottom of the lake. This time is really dangerous." Another weak lady said tremblingly.

"The concubine was also saved by Mrs. Zhang. If Mrs. Prime Minister wants to blame, blame us!"

"Now is not the time to pursue these matters. Shouldn't the princess investigate the matter of the railing?" The third concubine smiled lightly: "This concubine is more interested in this."

Meng Yuxuan finally knew where the dispute just now came from.It turned out that the person who was the princess fought with the person who belonged to the third concubine.No wonder.The third prince has the ambition to seize the heir apparent, and the princess has the ambition to be the queen, so they are at odds with each other.

Princess Linglong caused trouble and has already been locked up.There was no sign of her at the scene.

Tang Qiushui was also not there, so I don't know if he was injured.Tang Qiushui's performance was so good just now, Mrs. Li must be very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Meng Yuxuan sat in her seat, enjoying the show in front of her peacefully.Facing the aggressiveness of the third prince and concubine, Princess Hualing accepted the move without fear.

"The railings have been in disrepair for a long time, and there will inevitably be some malfunctions. The third imperial concubine is a little fussy." Princess Hua Ling said coldly.

"The railings of the Princess Mansion have been in disrepair for a long time, which is a bit ridiculous. The Princess Mansion is so rich, why can't it afford the money for repairs and reconstruction? The Clear Water Pavilion is such an important place. Looking at the gorgeous decorations inside, there should be frequent people Use it. Maids and mothers-in-law clean it every day. Why didn't they fall, but we did?" The third prince and concubine said coldly.

"It's all just a coincidence." Princess Ziyang said indifferently: "The third concubine doesn't seem like such a stingy person, why is she holding on to this matter? You see, everyone didn't pursue it anymore, only you insisted on finding out."

The third concubine looked around, and her gaze stayed on the fourth and sixth concubines.

The two imperial concubines immediately stated: "We also want to understand."

Princess Hualing was so angry that her teeth itch.These people are always against her, so she joined forces with Ziyang.Only by getting rid of these jumping clowns first, can they achieve their goals.

Princess Ziyang is not her, she has no ambition to become emperor.It was never the throne that she wanted.Princess Hualing knew this, so she felt relieved to join hands with her.

"The matter has already happened, so there is no point in pursuing it." Princess Ziyang said: "Today really made everyone unhappy. When I leave the princess mansion later, Princess Hualing will prepare a big gift for everyone, which can be regarded as a shock to everyone. "

Princess Hualing now just wants to calm things down.She has no objection to Princess Ziyang's proposal.She has never been short of money, and she has no objection to what can be solved with money.Today's banquet has two purposes, one is to win over the wives of officials who can be won over, and the other is to get rid of Meng Yuxuan, an eyesore.

Because Princess Linglong's useless actions interrupted her first plan.Now that he wants to deal with Meng Yuxuan, he has lost another good opportunity.

That useless thing!With her brain, expecting her to control the Western Regions is simply wishful thinking.But she only had this one daughter, and there was no more suitable candidate.

"Since there is no way to do it, then don't do it. On the way back, send out your most elite soldiers, can't you still kill a woman?" Princess Ziyang said in her ear: "If she is in the Princess Mansion If something happens, it will cause you trouble. If she dies outside, then it has nothing to do with you. Isn't this kind of calculation easy to make? What else can't be figured out?"

"You're right." Princess Hua Ling muttered to herself.

Her original plan was to design an accident to cause Meng Yuxuan's old illness to recur, and then die unexpectedly.As for the old illness, she also made arrangements.With just one medicine, Meng Yuxuan can become a person with heart disease without anyone noticing.Now that something like this happens first, she has no way to do it again.After all, an accident is an accident, and if another accident occurs, it is not an accident.

Princess Ziyang persuaded Princess Hualing, and Princess Hualing decided not to do anything.In this way, the banquet passed peacefully.This made Meng Yuxuan, who had already made all kinds of preparations, a little uncomfortable.She has been observing those people, and found that Princess Ziyang and Princess Hualing are too calm, they don't seem to be demons.She couldn't help asking herself: Could it be that I am worrying unnecessarily?
"It's so peaceful, so eerie." Jasmine whispered in Meng Yuxuan's ear, "The calm before the storm."
