Chapter 189 Dirty Thoughts

The air seemed to be still for a moment.

Mu Xue covered her face in disbelief, her expression twisted: "Yan Li, you dare to hit me!"

Yan Li stood up and looked at her without saying a word. After a moment, he slapped her again with his backhand, snap!

"I hit you." Yan Li's voice was chilling, "You can go back and tell your mother now."

"Princess Nanyang, what are you doing?!" Zhao Ma, who was standing outside the courtyard, was startled and rushed over, pointing at Yan Li and scolding, "Princess Nanyang is so bold that she even dared to hit the legitimate princess! Do you want to rebel?!"

"I have already hit her." Yan Li rubbed his wrist slowly, "I can go to the palace to see the emperor with the seventh princess later."

Mu Xue pointed at Yan Li angrily and tremblingly, unable to say a word for a long time, and finally ran away crying.

Zhao Ma looked at Yan Li as if she was looking at a monster.

She obviously couldn't have imagined that Yan Li had been so unscrupulous that he even hit the legitimate princess under the queen's knees.

She wants to go to heaven, she is really going to go to heaven!

Nanny Zhao quickly chased Mu Xue away, and the other palace maids who followed her trotted behind her.

Yan Li lay back on the chair, raised her hands to cover her eyelids, thinking to herself that if others don't offend, I won't offend others.

These princesses who appear noble but are actually full of dirty thoughts, have not learned much about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but have learned all the dirty things in the harem.

"Princess." Nanny An frowned, "The seventh princess will definitely complain."

Yan Li said indifferently: "I'm afraid she won't complain."

Nanny An heard this and knew that she had a plan to deal with it, so she nodded and put her mind at ease.

Mu Xue did go back to the palace to complain, but the way she complained was a bit special, crying and shouting, with no manners at all, so that the queen couldn't ask her about the ins and outs of the matter.

She could only ask Nanny Zhao.

But when Mu Xue and Yan Li were talking, Nanny Zhao was far away and didn't know what they said at all.

She could only exaggerate what she saw and heard. When the queen learned that it was Yan Li who beat Mu Xue, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She immediately ordered someone to invite the emperor over.

Emperor Zhaocheng hurried to Fengyi Palace and saw Mu Xue crying on the bed. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty." The queen's eyes were red. "Xue'er is my concubine's only daughter and your legitimate daughter. Your Majesty just watched her being bullied like this?"

"Don't worry, talk slowly." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood and soothed in a gentle voice, "What happened?"

Nanny Zhao replied respectfully: "Princess Nanyang slapped the legitimate princess twice."

Yan Li?

Emperor Zhaocheng's expression sank. He stared at Mu Xue, who was crying aggrievedly, for a moment, and walked to the main seat without saying a word and sat down.

"Your Majesty, no matter how you pamper her, I have turned a blind eye to it. I have apologized for the prince's breaking of the engagement, but how did Mu Xue offend her?" The queen complained with red eyes, "If your Majesty continues to protect her, I will not agree!"

Emperor Zhaocheng asked calmly, "Did Mu Xue leave the palace today?"

The queen choked and realized that she had not yet asked why Mu Xue left the palace.

"Jingyue stayed in the palace to take care of Xiuhan and could not show filial piety in front of the elders." She found a temporary reason that sounded reasonable, "Mu Xue went to visit Master Jiang and the old lady on behalf of Jingyue."

Visiting Master Jiang and the old lady?

Emperor Zhaocheng obviously did not believe this statement, but he was in a good mood at the moment and did not want to care about these details.

Before coming, he was still talking to the young general of the Southern Kingdom in the imperial study, and the other party said that the marriage was not forced.

If the Ninth Prince really loved Princess Nanyang, they would naturally make it happen.

He also said that General Rong might discuss border defense with the Ninth Prince this time. If the Ninth Prince is as powerful as the rumors say, General Rong might become friends with the Ninth Prince.

Emperor Zhaocheng knew that Mu Cang was not willing to make friends with others casually, and would not rush to make friends just because the other party was a powerful country.

But the South Country could express goodwill, which was still a happy thing for the Mu Country.

Emperor Zhaocheng even thought about whether to implement the decision of marriage and marry Mu Xue to the South Country as a princess?

Mu Xue was at least a legitimate princess. If the marriage could be successful, it would be a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaocheng turned to look at Mu Xue who was crying on the bed, and said helplessly: "Don't cry, if you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of a princess crying?"
