Chapter 116 Sudden Attack
The carriage came all the way back, and when they saw Murong Zhuangzhuang's carriage in the medical hall, the guard stopped the carriage and asked the guard next to Murong Zhuangzhuang's carriage. The guard replied that the princess was inside, so he lifted the curtain and said respectfully: "Your Highness, The eldest princess is inside."
With the support of two guards, he got out of the carriage tremblingly.
These thirty sticks are considered light, if it was in the barracks, the thirty army sticks would have beaten him to death.
The guards in the palace were merciful, but this precious crown prince had never suffered from pain since he was a child, and his martial arts training was only a matter of flamboyance, so he passed out in pain when he was beaten with a stick.
He was supposed to rest in the palace, but the empress ordered him to leave the palace immediately to go to the Taifu's mansion. The prince's party suffered heavy losses. As the prince, if he didn't show up to appease the hearts of his subordinates, all officials would be alienated. So although the queen felt pity for him, she arranged for him to leave the palace with injuries in order to calm the prince's party.
It's just that the queen never imagined that he would ignore his business and get involved in the struggle of the prime minister's mansion.
The shopkeeper of the medical hall saw that a princess came first, and then the crown prince. He was terrified and woke up the people in the medical hall to come out to serve him. He brought out the tea and cakes in the hall, and then retreated to a corner to wait for orders. , The atmosphere dare not come out, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.
Yuan Shi heard the voice inside, grabbed Zi'an, and said, "Don't be brave!"
Zian replied softly, "Mother, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Yuan Shi said again: "Princess, please take care of me."
Murong Zhuangzhuang said: "Madam, please don't worry, no one in the court dares to bully my people in front of me."
When the two went out together, Zi'an's eyes first fell on the prince's face, then passed through the prince, and looked at Mrs. Linglong and Xia Wan'er behind him.
"Why don't you kneel down when you see this palace?" The prince angrily reprimanded Xia Zian when he saw Xia Zi'an.
Zi'an's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward to salute according to the rules, "Xia Zian greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Murong Zhuangzhuang picked up Zi'an with one hand, and looked at the prince, "The prince has such a big posture, I don't know if the prince will kneel down when he sees my aunt?"
The prince seemed to have just seen Murong Zhuangzhuang, and his arrogant expression only changed slightly, "It turns out that Aunt Zu is here, so I just said it, but Xia Zian would not dare to be so bold as to order someone to stop him." The carriage of the prime minister's mansion, inside, is the future crown princess of the palace."
Murong Zhuangzhuang didn't speak, but looked at Mrs. Linglong and Xia Wan'er with sharp eyes.
Mrs. Linglong and Xia Wan'er stepped forward to salute, and blessed slightly, "See the Eldest Princess!"
"Kneel down!" Murong Zhuangzhuang suddenly said harshly, "Who taught you the rules?"
Mrs. Linglong's expression froze, and before she could speak, Xia Wan'er stepped forward and said, "Princess, this place is not in the palace, and I have obtained the Queen's decree to marry the Crown Prince. According to the rules, there is no need to bow down."
Murong Zhuangzhuang said coldly: "Who told you such rules? Wouldn't it be shabby to say such uneducated words for the daughter of a dignified prime minister? Let me just say that you are not the princess concubine now, even if you are married to the prince, seeing you This palace princess of Zhenguo, you still have to bow down, and even your future mother-in-law, empress empress, has to respectfully call me Aunt Huang."
Xia Wan'er was slightly taken aback, actually she didn't know about court etiquette, she just thought that the crown princess was the future empress and the most honorable woman in the world, so she shouldn't have to salute a princess.
Murong Zhuang shouted sharply, "Don't kneel down yet!"
Mrs. Linglong had no choice but to pull Xia Wan'er to kneel down together, and bowed politely. She thought that Murong Zhuangzhuang would let them get up immediately, but who knew that Murong Zhuangzhuang only said to the prince lightly, "The prince is injured and is not in the palace." Rest here, where do you go at night?"
"That doesn't bother Aunt Zu, I'm here to see who intercepted the Xiangfu's carriage." After finishing speaking, the prince looked at Zi'an provocatively.
Zi'an just lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, without any expression on his face. In the eyes of the prince, he felt that Zi'an was afraid.
"It's an order from my palace," Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at Mrs. Linglong coldly, "Just now you pushed Mrs. Yuan from the carriage, causing serious injuries. I want to listen to your explanation and see why you Hurt the Yuan family and leave without thinking."
Mrs. Linglong had prepared her speech a long time ago, and was about to speak, but saw that Zian had already strode forward, grabbed her by the hair and dragged her towards the door.
Zian made a sudden attack, even Murong Zhuangzhuang didn't expect it. Mrs. Linglong was even more frightened. She kicked her legs hard on the ground and grabbed Zian with both hands, but a sharp pain came from her scalp, which made her howl like ghosts and wolves. .
Xia Wan'er came back to her senses, jumped up from the ground and rushed out angrily, "Xia Zi'an, you have the guts to let go of my mother quickly."
The prince also scolded repeatedly, and asked the guards to stop him.
Zian was stopped by the guards, but he still didn't let go, he grabbed Mrs. Linglong's hair vigorously, his face was so stern that the guards showed a little fear.
"Take it!" the prince snapped.
The guard drew his sword and pointed it at Xia Zian, Murong Zhuangzhuang's face sank, "Whoever dares to hurt the future princess regent, I want his head."
The words "Princess Regent" shocked the guards, the prince's people looked at the prince, then at Murong Zhuangzhuang, and did not dare to make a move for a while.
The prince was furious, "Aunt Zu is going to make things difficult for me? You hurt my future mother-in-law in front of me, have you forgotten that you are a member of the royal family?"
Murong Zhuangzhuang didn't know what Zi'an was going to do, but no matter what she did right now, he had to support her.
So she ordered the guard with the sword, "Retire to me!"
This sentence was extremely severe, and her face was bullying Shuang Lingxue, showing the majesty of Zhen Guo Princess.
She looked at Zi'an, Zi'an's eyes were dark, her other hand was clenched into a fist, and her veins were bulging. She already guessed that Zi'an was going to act first, because once the prince interrogated the matter, it would be tantamount to intervening in this wounding case , the result must also be arbitrated by him.
And Zian didn't want to drag her into the water, so he planned to solve the matter by himself.
Sure enough, as soon as the guard pushed away, Zian grabbed Madam Linglong's hair and slammed into the marble by the door.
As a military doctor, she knew how to control the strength. Madam Linglong immediately slipped to the ground with the impact, and blood overflowed from her forehead.
This move shocked Xia Wan'er and the prince. The prince never thought that Xia Zian would dare to hurt someone in front of him.
Moreover, Xia Zian didn't stop, she took out a dagger, and before the guard rushed over to help Mrs. Linglong, the dagger flashed coldly and chopped off the little finger of Mrs. Linglong's left hand.
Madam Linglong's screams resounded through the sky, Xia Wan'er rushed towards her like crazy, and said angrily, "Xia Zian, I'm going to kill you!"
The prince saw the cold light in Zi An's eyes, then looked at her hand, and screamed, "No, Wan'er back down."
However, it was too late, Zian's dagger slashed across Xia Wan'er's left cheek, and the blood on the wound on the face formed a small waterfall, flowing down.
Xia Wan'er only felt a burst of coldness on her face, and then felt moisture slipping down her cheeks. She reached out her hand to touch it, her hand was covered with blood, she rolled her eyes in fright, and fainted on the ground.
Zi'an wiped the dagger with a handkerchief, and with a cold face, he slowly said to the shopkeeper of the clinic: "Please trouble the doctor to stop the bleeding for them."
