Chapter 390

After the words fell, there was no response from outside.

Uncle Geng looked around vigilantly and made sure that no one appeared. Then he asked the carriage, "Is the girl hurt?"

Qiao Nian still had a trace of fear in her heart, "I'm fine, Uncle Geng, who is it?"

Uncle Geng pulled a hidden weapon from the carriage, took a look, and then said, "This hidden weapon is crudely made, not like a professional Jianghu killer, and it was shot at the carriage, deliberately avoiding the curtain, obviously not wanting to hurt the girl."

So, just to warn her?

Qiao Nian knew who it was.

But she didn't expect that Wan Zeyue would be so impatient.

He immediately said, "Please collect all these hidden weapons, Uncle Geng, I will go to the palace tomorrow and need to show them to the princess."

"Yes."

Uncle Geng responded and collected all the hidden weapons around, then drove the carriage again and returned to the Pingyang Palace.

The next day, the first thing Qiao Nian did after entering the palace was to present all the hidden weapons from last night to Princess Shu Yuan and the Queen.

When they suddenly saw these hidden weapons, Princess Shu Yuan and the Queen couldn't help but frown, and then heard Princess Shu Yuan shout, "How dare you! Don't you know that you can't bring weapons into the palace?"

Qiao Nian then said, "Your Highness, these are the hidden weapons that attacked my carriage last night."

Hearing this, the Queen was slightly surprised, "You were attacked?"

Qiao Nian answered truthfully, "Rather than being attacked, it's better to say that someone wanted to give me some warnings, not deliberately hurting me."

Princess Shu Yuan was not stupid, and she understood it all at once, "You mean, this was done by Wan Zeyue?"

"Without evidence, I dare not speak nonsense. But apart from this Wan Zhongcheng, I can't think of anyone else I have offended..."

Listening to Qiao Nian's words, Shu Princess Yuan snorted again, "Then what's your intention in bringing these hidden weapons into the palace? Do you want me to help you?"

Qiao Nian was not surprised that Princess Shu Yuan would be suspicious of her, and she began to instigate without any scruples, "I followed Eunuch Fu to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and Eunuch Fu also told the Wan family that it was the princess who sent me there because of the sisterhood between her and the eldest lady of the Wan family. So I thought that since Wan Zeyue warned me in this way even though he knew that this matter was instructed by the princess, then perhaps the person he wanted to warn was not me."

"Enough." The Queen's eyebrows sank, "You don't need to say anything about this matter."

Such obvious instigation is really annoying.

But, there are obvious benefits.

Princess Shu Yuan's face was filled with anger, "You should look at the owner before you beat the dog. This Wan Zeyue clearly doesn't give me any face! He dares to bully me just because his grandfather is the prime minister?"

"Come here!"

Princess Shu Yuan shouted.

The queen thought it was not good and could not help but persuade, "Shu Yuan, don't be impulsive."

Unexpectedly, Princess Shu Yuan persuaded the queen, "Mother, even if Meng Yingzhi is not related to you, he is still a member of the Meng family. It was you who negotiated this marriage. Now Wan Zeyue is treating Meng Yingzhi like this, which is simply a slap in your face! His Wan family has been at war with us for a long time. Why should mother care about her face?"

This is true.

The marriage between Meng Yingzhi and Wan Zeyue was negotiated by the queen herself. Otherwise, based on Meng Yingzhi's previous engagement with Xiao He, the emperor would definitely block it.

She had argued with the emperor several times for this matter, but in the end, the Wan family actually treated Meng Yingzhi like this!

No matter how close she was to Meng Yingzhi, Meng Yingzhi had to call her aunt.

Wan Zeyue abused Meng Yingzhi like this, from some aspects, wasn't he also abusing her?

The queen's eyebrows turned cold.

Finally, she stopped obstructing.

So, Princess Shu Yuan spoke, "Let Wan Zeyue come to see this princess!"

"Yes!"

Someone responded and retreated, and after Wan Zeyue left the court, he invited him to the outside of the princess's bedroom.

But Princess Shu Yuan did not see him immediately, but asked him to wait outside.

Wan Zeyue waited for a full hour, and finally lost his patience, and couldn't help but say to Xiao Fuzi beside him, "It seems that the princess has no time to see me today, and the Censorate has things to do. I am afraid that I will miss the business. It is better for me to come another day."

After that, he bowed and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fuzi suddenly shouted, "How dare you! The princess wants to see you, but you dare to refuse. Don't you take the princess seriously?"

Wan Zeyue's face was gloomy, "It's obvious that the princess is reluctant to see you! I still have important things to do. If I miss the important things, how can you bear it?"

Who would have thought that Xiao Fuzi would sneer, "Zhongcheng is just a censor. He spends all day catching this person's fault or that person's little braid, and then goes to the emperor to make a fuss. What important things can you do?"

"You!" Wan Zeyue was furious, "How dare you do this?" Is this an insult to me?"

"Master Wan, you don't need to show off your authority in front of me. You can only stand in the court with the protection of the prime minister. But even if you are the grandson of the prime minister, you can't compete with our princess, who is the emperor's daughter and the only princess of Dajing! If the princess wants to see you, you have to come and wait! Dare to disrespect the princess, it is disrespect to the emperor! I don't know, if the emperor gets angry, Master Wan will have a few heads to chop off, how much ability does the prime minister have to save your dog head!"

"What a rebellion!"

Wan Zeyue was very proud, how could he bear to be insulted and scolded by a servant?

He was about to raise his hand and slap Xiao Fuzi's face.

Xiao Fuzi did not dodge.

After a crisp sound, Princess Shu Yuan laughed coldly, "Lord Wan has such a great power! How dare you slap my servant in my bedroom? You don't take me seriously at all!"

"I dare not!" Wan Zeyue saluted Princess Shu Yuan, "It's really because of this servant's arrogant words that I..."

"What did he say wrong?"

Princess Shu Yuan asked slowly.

And Wan Zeyue realized that what Xiao Fuzi said just now was all instructed by Princess Shu Yuan.

Maybe even every word was taught by Princess Shu Yuan!

At that moment, looking at Princess Shu Yuan's eyes full of contempt, Wan Zeyue's heart was beating fast, and his anger rose, but he suppressed it.

He only said in a deep voice, "The Censorate was set up by the ancestor emperor to monitor the words and deeds of the officials in the court. It is an important official position to maintain the order of the court. How can it be said so badly?"

"Heh."

Princess Shu Yuan smiled coldly, "So, you can do something to my people?"

Wan Zeyue thought at first that Princess Shu Yuan was referring to Xiao Fuzi, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Qiao Nian standing not far behind Princess Shu Yuan.

He finally understood what happened in his heart.
