”Amitabha!” His mother was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly kneeled on the ground. The First Madam pulled Yueyue and Lian Fu to kneel as well.
This is the princess of An Guo! How is that possible!
Just a moment ago, the Prime Minister's mansion had received the praise of the princess of An Kingdom for her performance, and now that the third young miss had decided not to curry favor with the princess, it was truly hard to predict.
”Princess, I, I …” Lian Shiya muttered, not knowing what to do out of fear.
If the princess were to pursue the matter, she would discover that he had accepted the silver from the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. He had purposely suggested for the ladies to perform in order to give the Third Miss a chance to perform, so that he would definitely be dismembered.
Immediately, everyone in the banquet was scared to the point of sweating, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire. They inwardly blamed Lian Shiya for trying to curry favor with them, provoking the princess's anger and messing up a good banquet.
Princess An Guo lightly wiped her face and opened her eyes. Her hands were stained with a large amount of blood.
”Quick, quickly call the imperial physician!” Lotus Fragrance, Princess An Guo's personal servant, hastily summoned her. Soon, four imperial physicians came running over with boxes in their hands. They hurriedly took out cloth to wipe away the blood on Princess' face while someone else prepared a medicine ointment to stop the bleeding.
”Princess, your face …” When the blood had been wiped clean, Jia Xiang looked at An Guo's face and covered her mouth in shock.
”Bring the mirror!” An Guo's face was tense.
A moment later, the bronze mirror arrived. Princess An Guo saw a scar on her face and immediately broke it in her anger. She had spent a lot of time trying to make her face look young and young, but after eating so many purple carts (placenta), she was only able to change her face into a face comparable to that of a young girl.
She abruptly stood up from Feng Ye's embrace and furiously said:
”Tie this reckless thing up!”
At Princess An's command, several guards ran over and dragged Lian Shiya up from the ground. They quickly tied her up before pressing her body down hard, forcing her to kneel down.
Lian Shiya's entire body shivered. ”Princess, I …” ”I didn't do it on purpose, Princess …” She had never expected things to turn out this way.
She walked up to her in a few steps, raised her hand, and fiercely slapped her on the face. Feeling that she really did not have a way to vent her hatred, she gave her two more slaps, and even Shiya felt as if a mouthful of her teeth were about to be broken. Her face immediately swelled up and blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
”Cousin …” Xiao Rou felt that Lian Shiya was truly pitiful. She impulsively wanted to plead on behalf of Lian Shiya, but Madam Xiao saw through her thoughts and pulled her back, reprimanding her in a low voice —
”Don't meddle in other people's business!”
”But, Cousin, she …” Xiao Rou had a good relationship with Lian Shiya since she was young, so when she saw that no one helped her, her heart was filled with sympathy.
”She put in a lot of effort and failed to make up for the losses. She was the one who asked for it!” Madam Xiao said coldly.
”But if father knew we …” Xiao Rou brought out her father, Xiao Zhenhai.
”Your father is in Da Liao, if you anger the princess, he won't be able to reach you. When the time comes, the princess can squash you as easily as crushing an ant.” Madam Xiao's words caused a chill to run down Xiao Rou's spine. She slowly withdrew her foot and lowered her head.
Lian Shiyue, who was kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face and eyes as cold as ice blades, had no emotions in those eyes. Even Shiya, what did this little bit of pain count for!? When you cut my child, cut me off, let me eat with the animals in the barn, the chickens peck at my eyes, the rats gnaw at my body, the cows and sheep fell on me, when I was hungry I ate the pig food, when I was thirsty I drank the dirty water, with that unyielding breath I lived for half a year, for half a year like this! Do you know how you get through every minute of every day?
Back then, you never gave me the slightest bit of mercy.
Lian Ruyue's fingertip was fiercely pinched into her palm, and her eyes began to burn.
At this time, she felt a gaze that seemed to be staring at her. She was slightly startled, and when she lifted her head, she discovered that Feng Yunzheng was looking at her, as if he knew what she was thinking about. There seemed to be a sense of comfort in that gaze.
Why did she have a feeling that the Ninth Prince … He seemed to know everything.
At this time, the princess of An Guo coldly scolded: ”A poor girl who cannot afford to show her face, daring to dress up in front of me, the princess of An Guo, in an attempt to seduce my nephew. In order to please me, you have put in a lot of effort. I, the princess, loathe this kind of slut!”
”Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me. Your servant truly wishes to offer this parrot, who only knows what the hell is going on with this parrot,” Lian Shiya was so scared that she fell to the ground and hurriedly begged for mercy.
”Humph!” Really? Do you think this princess is blind? Where's your heart? Your golden parrot is obviously weak in spirit and can't even open its mouth to speak, but you do not care about its body and only want it to say auspicious words. If you don't love this bird, all you can do is to please me. You are very ambitious! Men, drag her down and kill her! ”
What...
