Princess Minghua had always had everything she wanted. The Emperor and Empress Dowager’s favor was unconditional because she was a princess, the Emperor’s daughter.
She didn’t need to please the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to gain their favor.
Even in front of her two closest confidantes, she rarely pretended.
So at that moment, Princess Minghua walked quickly to Xu Lingyi and reached out to strangle her.
But Nanny Zhang blocked Princess Minghua’s way.
“Princess, what are you going to do?”
“Was it you, you vile woman, who did it?” Princess Minghua asked directly.
“It’s you, isn’t it? You still dare to pretend you don’t know, Xu Shi? You don’t need to pretend, and you don’t need to rush to deny it. This Princess knows it’s you. You dare to lay a hand on my mother today. Are you really prepared? You wretched woman!”
Princess Minghua directly insulted her.
Xu Lingyi sneered inwardly.
Princess Minghua wasn’t particularly intelligent; this fool was simply lucky.
In her past life, her mother and sisters-in-law were killed by such idiots.
After Princess Minghua finished speaking, she didn’t want to look at Xu Lingyi anymore and went directly to the Empress Dowager.
“Grandmother, before the truth of the matter is clarified, please let Xu Shi kneel here and pray for my mother, okay?” Princess Minghua spoke.
Considering her feelings at the moment, the Empress Dowager nodded: “Alright, Bao’er, don’t worry. The imperial physician will be here soon. Your mother will be fine, and I will definitely find out the real culprit behind this.”
Xu Lingyi looked at the Emperor with red eyes.
The Emperor frowned from the very beginning.
“Minghua, I know you are worried about your mother, but the matter has not been investigated yet. How can you let De Fei kneel? De Fei, please get up first.”
Xu Lingyi was surprised that the Emperor wasn’t blindly biased toward Princess Minghua; he was actually willing to protect her.
It seems this old man really likes her.
“Father, it’s Xu Shi! It must be her! Besides that vile woman, who in the palace would dare harm my mother? My mother has always been kind and benevolent to everyone in the palace. Only she harbors a grudge against my mother.”
Upon hearing this, everyone inwardly scoffed.
Gui Fei treated them kindly and benevolently?
They were just grateful that she hadn’t poisoned them.
Princess Minghua stamped her foot, her anger now even greater: “Father, didn’t you use to love me the most? Now you’re doing this for that vixen Xu Shi…”
Princess Minghua burst into tears as she spoke, wiping away her tears: “I don’t even know what kind of poison my mother has been poisoned with, and her life hangs in the balance, yet Father is already wholeheartedly devoted to this vixen.”
The Empress Dowager was heartbroken when she saw Princess Minghua’s tears. With a cold face and icy voice, she said, “De Fei, kneel.”
The Empress Dowager’s health has always been poor, and she doesn’t know how much longer she has to live. She only has one granddaughter, Princess Minghua, and in her old age, she only hopes that Princess Minghua will be happy.
She now dotes on Princess Minghua to an unreasonable degree.
The Empress Dowager then turned to the Emperor: “Xu Shi is indeed a suspect, and it is perfectly reasonable to make her kneel.”
The Emperor could not afford to offend the Empress Dowager again.
On one side were the Princess and the ailing Empress Dowager.
On one side was his beloved concubine.
Xu Lingyi, who had always been portrayed as understanding, spoke up at the opportune moment, “Your Majesty, I am willing to kneel. Please do not let me cause a conflict with the Princess.”
As she spoke, Xu Lingyi knelt. Of course, she wouldn’t kneel for long; she would soon pretend to faint and collapse.
Now that Princess Minghua had made her kneel, Gui Fei and she would have to kneel before her even more often in the future.
