337: The Prince and His Wife's Evil Deeds
Concubine Qi was anxiously thinking about her son's marriage and trying to come up with a solution. At this time, Concubine Li was not much better and was furious in Zhaoyu Palace.
She had been rejected for three consecutive times when she asked to see His Majesty. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation in all the years since she entered the palace.
Prince Xiang sat there with a wooden face, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked dull and lacked his former elegance.
Concubine Li was even more furious when she saw her son like this, "What are your plans now?"
When Prince Xiang heard his mother's question, he raised his head and looked at her, rolled his eyes, and then he had a bit of a living breath and said, "I don't know."
Concubine Li:...
"Who are you doing this for now?" Concubine Li was so angry, "I have told you several times to stay away from those women. Look at who you have attracted. Fu Yun made your marriage difficult, and now You Xiangrui has come. It's really... Cut off your retreat!"
"The matter of Fuyun was my son's idea, but Miss You was not provoked by my son." After being scolded, the King of Xiang slowly recovered. Hearing that his mother not only did not comfort him, but also scolded him, he could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction. "At the beginning, I said that it was very inappropriate to join forces with the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. The people in their mansion are not upright people."
Instead of harming others, he hurt himself. The King of Xiang regretted that he should not have agreed to it out of softness.
Concubine Li felt a little guilty about this, but it was impossible for her to apologize to her son, so she had to stiffen her neck and say, "It must have been done by the prince, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? Su Xinyi is not a good person either, and these two couples are eager to step on you."
Prince Xiang was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Whether it was done by the prince, my father will definitely find out, but why the people around me were bribed, I think mother should ask the Li family."
Most of the guards around him were selected by the Li family, and the relationship between Prince Xiang and his maternal family has always been harmonious, but this time it was the guards around him who did the dirty work, which made him somewhat dissatisfied with the Li family.
He knew that the Li family would definitely not harm him, but the people selected by the Li family were instigated by others, shouldn't he be given an explanation?
Concubine Li's face was even uglier after being confronted by her son. Of course, she would not doubt her natal family, but there was indeed a problem with the people selected by her natal family.
"I will ask your uncle about this matter, but there is another thing right now, what are you going to do, You Xiangrui?" Concubine Li gritted her teeth and said.
"What does mother mean?" King Xiang already had the answer in his heart. Mother's three requests to see father were rejected, which sent a signal that father was dissatisfied with both him and mother. Moreover, he did not want to see mother. Obviously, father had already made a conclusion about You Xiangru.
What is this conclusion? In fact, they already had a premonition in their hearts.
The two looked at each other, and Concubine Li's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
You Xiangru as her daughter-in-law was really like a knife stabbing into her heart.
She was just the daughter of an ambassador of the Tea and Horse Department. If she really entered the King Xiang, I am afraid she would become the lowest-born among all the princesses. This would be the biggest blow to Concubine Li, who has always been arrogant.
Concubine Li stood up suddenly, "No, I still have to see His Majesty."
At most, she could only let You Xiangru be a concubine!
If You became her son's concubine, it would not look good for the East Palace, but she could also make up for her own loss.
Li Guifei was sure that it was the prince and his wife who did it, so she naturally couldn't just admit it.

The temperature has been high these two days, and I got heat stroke while picking up my child. I collapsed yesterday, and I still have a low-grade fever. I'll write a thousand words today and ask for leave. I'm so dizzy and dazed that I may not update again. Please come and read it in the evening. If there is no update after 8 o'clock, it will be gone. Thank you for your support.
