无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

“Princess Consort, what happened just now? Are you alright?” Pei’er asked.

Jiang Ning took a moment to calm down and shook her head: “I’m fine. How about you, Pei’er?”

Pei’er frowned: “I 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?”

“No.” 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, “Princess Consort, Princess Consort, where have you been?”

Seeing her lively and energetic appearance, Jiang Ning’s heart relaxed, and she waved, “Xiaoman, I’m here.”

Xiaoman saw her, ran over in just a few steps, pushed Pei’er away fiercely, and stared, “Who are you? Stay away from my Princess Consort!”

Pei’er: “…”

This Xiaoman girl is really wild.

Jiang Ning hurriedly said, “Xiaoman, you must not be rude. This is Miss Pei’er of the Zhang Family. She sent me out because you were not around. You should thank her.”

No matter how you look at it, she meant well and even got hit by Ms. Ma because of her.

Hearing this, Xiaoman’s expression relaxed, and she gave Pei’er a bow, apologetically saying, “I’m sorry, Sister Pei’er, I misunderstood you, don’t be angry.”

Pei’er smiled: “I’m not angry, I admire your devotion. It’s good that everything is alright. There’s a flood happening there, you should quickly take the Princess Consort of Yu away, and I should hurry back to find our lady.”

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 didn’t know what had happened.

“Princess Consort, where should we go now?”

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the Crystal Frost Hall first to pick up Wenzan and Lingzi.”

Xiaoman nodded and pushed her away.

“Xiaoman, you are not allowed to drink alcohol anymore, did you hear me?” Jiang Ning said.

When it came to this matter, Xiaoman was quite annoyed: “Xiaoman 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, I’m sorry, I won’t drink anything given to me by others anymore.”

“It’s 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 don’t go anywhere else.”

“From now on, I will never leave the Princess Consort’s side again, there are so many bad people, they all say Xiaoman is a fool, bullying Xiaoman, but Xiaoman is not stupid!”

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 didn’t matter, since she knew Li Jixian was such a scum, she naturally couldn’t 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 couldn’t help but feel displeased and frowned, “The East Palace is in such a mess, which shows the incompetence of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.”

“There 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.”

Jiang Ning fiercely smeared the East Palace’s reputation.

As expected, the Emperor’s expression grew even more displeased: “Someone, go see what’s going on in the East Palace.”

The eunuch obeyed and left.
