C178 He Slapped the Table and Stood up
"Big Sister Empress." Liu Ruyan's tone was clearly restraining her emotions. "You've summoned all the servants in my courtyard. What do you mean?"
"Nothing. It's just that Aijia had an appointment with Princess Nanchu in the afternoon. She came to talk with Aijia but did not expect Aijia to wait in the palace for a long time and not see anyone. She was worried that something might happen and coincidentally heard that Princess Nanchu was coming to Noble Consort Liu's place to attend the banquet. I asked the maidservant to come over just to ask Princess Nanchu how she is now."
"Then Big Sister Empress can just come and ask me directly. Why bother with such trouble? Those who do not know would think that Big Sister Empress came to demonstrate to me as a younger sister."
"Isn't this because the maid said that you should rest? How can Aijia disturb your dreams? Just thinking about it, she directly asked. Afraid that she wouldn't be able to ask any of them, she simply called them all over. I never thought that Noble Consort Liu would misunderstand Aijia."
Xie Wanrong smiled. From beginning to end, her tone was very gentle. On the contrary, Noble Consort Liu was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.
The Empress won this match and Lin Miaoting came to a conclusion in her heart. Just when Lin Miaoting felt that the matter had become somewhat boring, Xuanyuan Qi walked over with Murong Jing's personal maid.
"Mother is auspicious, Noble Consort is auspicious."
"Empress is auspicious, Noble Consort is auspicious."
"Get up." Empress Xie gently supported her son, her eyes full of love. She gently waved her sleeves and signaled Murong Jing's personal maid to get up as well.
"Huang'er, why did you come out of the backyard? And why is Princess Nanchu's personal maid with you? " But what happened? "
Empress Xuanyuan asked gently.
Mother, Princess Nanchu fell into the water. " Xuanyuan Qi replied respectfully.
Hearing Murong Jing's words, Empress Xuanyuan's eyes were clearly on one side. Her expression was full of anxiety and her tone carried a trace of anxiety. "How is it now?"
After all, if something were to happen to the princess of another country, Putting aside the fact that the eighth prince of the Southern Chu, Murong Di, was still in the Xuan Yuan Country, he would not pursue the matter. If the news reached the ears of those who wanted to, it would definitely affect the relationship between the Xuan Yuan and the Southern Chu.
Furthermore, she had intended to marry Murong Jing to her son. She definitely could not allow Murong Jing to have any problems before this matter was completed!
Thinking of this, Empress Xie's expression darkened even more. In addition, now that Princess Nanchu had an accident in Noble Consort Liu's courtyard, as the protagonist, Liu Ruyan seemed to be fine. Could it be that... Xie Wanrong's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
"It's just a cold. It's fine." Xuanyuan Qi replied.
As a matter of fact, Liu Ruyan was slightly surprised when she saw Xuanyuan Qi's neatly dressed appearance, but she soon felt relieved.
Although she had taken measures to make Xuanyuan Qi lose his reputation, But she had other purposes.
"Big Sister Empress, there is no need to worry. Little Sister has already gotten someone to diagnose and treat Princess Nanchu."
"That's good." Empress Xie lightly replied and then asked Xuanyuan Qi, "In the morning, I heard from your Royal Father that he arranged many documents for you to review. At this moment, why are you in Noble Consort Liu's courtyard?"
"The day before yesterday, Mo said that he would hold a banquet in Mother Consort's courtyard today, so he invited my son to come." Xuanyuan Qi replied respectfully.
"Oh ~ I see, but my son... Where's your brother now? Why haven't I seen your third brother?"
Although Empress Xie's words were directed at Xuanyuan Qi, However, these words were meant for Noble Consort Liu to hear.
When the first wife came, she did not see the son of a concubine come to pay her respects. It was a great disrespect. Even in the ancient royal family, it was unavoidable, unless the first wife did not see her.
"Lie'er, there might be some urgent matter that delayed me. That's why we weren't able to make it in time." Noble Consort Liu excused her son and at the same time pretended to be angry as she instructed the servants beside her to look for him.
"Hurry up and find that bastard for me. See how I teach her a lesson later."
"There's no hurry. It's a good thing that Third Prince is busy. Didn't he ask to leave early because he was busy at Royal Father's banquet? "No rush, no rush."
Empress Xie said with a smile.
As long as the people present knew that Third Prince was at the banquet, they could not help but feel happy in their hearts. However, they did not dare to show it on their faces, especially Noble Consort Liu, who was so angry that her face was almost smoking, but she could not say anything.
Lin Miaoting, who was hiding behind Xuanyuan Yu, could not help but sigh in her heart. Look, this is called bearing. No matter what kind of image you put on, I will just calmly watch and throw a bucket of cold water at you. Amazing!
"Haha, yes." Noble Consort Liu endured the unhappiness in her heart and smiled. "Since elder sister is already here, then let's go into the house to have a cup of tea. At the same time, let's go and see how Princess Nanchu is now. After all, she is also the princess of another country. It is better for us to watch carefully. Don't you agree? "
Imperial Concubine Liu smiled. Right now, she was chasing Xie Wanrong away. Not really, not even if she didn't. After all, the Empress had specifically asked to see her son, Xuanyuan Lieh. If she couldn't see him, she would push him away. It was inevitable that she would say something in front of others. Furthermore, it was good that Xie Wanrong was here. This way, her plan could be carried out better.
With that, Liu Ruyan's mood became a little better.
Under Noble Consort Liu's invitation, Empress Xie led everyone to the guest room where Murong Jing was.
The surrounding servants also felt as if they were granted amnesty as they quickly left the scene and went to do their own things.
Just as everyone had seen Murong Jing and waited for a while.
He saw the servant who was sent by Noble Consort Liu to look for Xuanyuan Lieh. As if she had been provoked by something, Vast Lushness ran in.
Perhaps it was because she was too flustered, but when the servant entered the room and knelt down, she accidentally knocked on the corner of the table.
"Empress is auspicious, Lady Noble Consort is auspicious ~"
"Where is Third Prince?" Seeing such a flustered and reckless person running in, Liu Ruyan felt her heart skip a beat. She always felt something. Something bad was about to happen. She quickly asked.
"Yeah, where is Third Prince now?" Xie Wanrong used the lid of the teacup to stroke the broken tea leaves in the teacup. Her tone was very light, but it was very intimidating.
"Go back, go back, Empress ~ That Third Prince was kidnapped." The servant stammered and finally said a complete sentence.
"What? Hurry up and save him!"
When Liu Ruyan heard that her precious son had been kidnapped, she immediately slammed the table and stood up.
