When news of what happened in Wangshan Courtyard reached the palace, the eldest princess and Emperor Jianping were playing chess.
When it was almost over, Emperor Jianping said: "A Ying, don't worry, I have watched Yan Yan grow up, and I will not let her suffer in vain."
"The prince is still your majesty's biological son." The eldest princess said calmly.
Emperor Jianping: "..."
He said warmly: "The prince is my biological son, and Yan Yan is also my niece. How could I favor the prince?"
"Then what kind of punishment does Your Majesty plan to give the prince?" the eldest princess asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall became eerily quiet.
The attendants all watched with their eyes, nose, nose and heart attentively, each one of them was like a pillar standing quietly.
Emperor Jianping didn't seem to care about the eldest princess's reluctance at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "A Ying finally spoke to me in a normal tone!"
Finally not so sinister.
His cousin, his mother was the biological sister of the late emperor's mother, a noble eldest princess, and his father was the Duke Dingguo, who held military authority and was highly respected and trusted by the late emperor.
She has been favored by the noble and powerful ruler of this dynasty since she was born. All the princes and princesses in the palace combined are not as favored as her.
As for the emperor who was put on the throne by the eldest princess and Duke Ding in order to stabilize the court and the people, even if Aying respected him, her inherent arrogance and strength would still make her do extraordinary things.
In the past, A Ying had never been as "pleasant" to him as she was today.
The eldest princess was about to speak when a commotion came from the door.
Emperor Jianping lowered his face and said, "Who is out there? They are so noisy, how can they be so decent?"
Qi Deshui's father-in-law Qi, who had been acting as a pillar, quickly went out to take a look. .
Soon, he was back.
Qi Deshui frowned and glanced at the eldest princess without trace.
"What happened?" Emperor Jianping asked.
Eunuch Qi looked hesitant.
His Majesty managed to calm the eldest princess with great difficulty, but the queen caused trouble again.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family, who is as beautiful as glass, has been sickened by anger over and over again. If the eldest princess knows about it, is this okay?
Eunuch Qi didn't speak, and Emperor Jianping also realized something.
"A Ying, otherwise..."
The eldest princess looked at Emperor Jianping and said coldly: "I seemed to have heard the word 'Gu family' just now. I dare to ask Your Majesty, is there anything about the Gu family that I, Mrs. Gu, cannot listen to? Or, what has the Gu family committed? Does the serious crime of beheading involve military matters?"
Seeing that she was really angry, and knowing that she would not be safe again today, Emperor Jianping said, "Qi Deshui, what happened outside?"
Only then did Qi Deshui tell what he heard outside.
When she heard that the queen sent people to Wangshan Villa to pay respects to Jin Yan, and wanted to force Jin Yan to come to the palace while he was recovering from illness, but when Jin Yan was sick, the eldest princess stood up suddenly. .
She lowered her face and said angrily: "Your Majesty! Is this Dong Palace's apology? Is this the 'account' you mentioned?"
Emperor Jianping's face was uglier than that of the eldest princess.
He explained: "A Ying, I have been with you since Gu Yong left the palace today. When did I give such an order? I don't know about this at all!"
Then he asked Qi Deshui, "Why was there a quarrel outside just now?"
Qi Deshui: "Your Majesty, it's a little eunuch beside the queen who wants to stop... the person who is delivering the message."
Hearing this, the gloomy Emperor Jianping overturned the entire chess table with one palm.
The white jade chess pieces were scattered all over the floor, spread out on the dark red carpet.
It looks like freshly baked heads on the execution ground.
