Chapter 1501: Make An Example
Ding Bei Marquis's second son's younger sister had offended Princess Gu the moment she came to the capital. Princess Gu was furious and ordered her subordinates to invite Ding Bei Marquis and the Crown Prince Consort to the inn!
As soon as this news was out, it spread through the streets and alleys of the capital in a short while. The Imperial Palace also received the news.
After the Empress received the news, she only frowned slightly and did not say anything else.
As for the Crown Prince, Yuwen Yan Yu, after hearing the news, hurriedly bid farewell to the Emperor and left the palace to return to the Crown Prince's residence.
After hearing the report from the servants in the Crown Prince's Residence, he thought about it and went to the treasury to find a treasure. Then, he sent someone to give it to the Princess of Guguo.
More and more people gathered to watch the show.
The signboard on the inn glowed with a golden light. The light was reflected in everyone's eyes as if it wanted everyone to remember its appearance.
Lin Yuelan stood at the entrance of the inn and looked at Ding Bei Marquis father and son and the Crown Prince Consort. Then, she looked at Zhou s.h.i.+hua and Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who was on the ground and asked with a smile, "Ding Bei Marquis, Crown Prince Consort, how do you think this princess should handle this matter? This princess, who was born into a farming family, really doesn't understand! Therefore, I would like to ask the two of you!"
Hearing Lin Yuelan's self-deprecating words, both Ye Songyang and Crown Prince Consort Ye Yao were shocked.
The father and daughter looked at each other. There was obvious helplessness and anxiety in their eyes.
However, the father and daughter had different plans.
" Princess, please don't belittle yourself!" Ye Songyang said to Lin Yuelan in fear. "Everyone in the court knew that the princess was talented, intelligent, and full of schemes! I will leave everything to the princess!"
When Zhou s.h.i.+hua heard this, she was stunned for a moment before she fell silent and allowed her father-in-law to make the decision.
However, her heart suddenly felt uneasy. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her face slowly turned pale.
She was filled with regret now.
Previously, when her father-in-law asked her to bring Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ to apologize, she thought that it was as simple as an apology.
However, after she brought her people over, this princess of Guguo put on airs. Not only could they not meet, but they could not even enter the door of the inn. This made her feel that this princess of Guguo was disrespecting her and the Ye residence. Therefore, she wanted to use Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+'s scolding to vent her dissatisfaction.
However, she did not expect such a result.
Her father-in-law had personally come forward.
What Zhou s.h.i.+hua didn't know was that there were even more serious consequences to come.
The crown prince consort also smiled awkwardly and said carefully," Princess, Sister Zhou offended the princess. You can punish her however you want! However," she looked at Zhou s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and pleaded," Princess, please spare Sister Zhou's life for Ye Yao's sake!"
She was a little worried.
She had heard that Jiang Zhennan wanted to return to the Duke's estate, but the Duke's estate did not open the main door. Instead, it opened the right door, which angered Lin Yuelan. In the end, Lin Yuelan ordered the killing of more than a hundred servants in the Duke's estate, with more than half of them dead or injured.
In the end, it was the fault of the Zhengguo Duke's Public House.
This incident was enough to prove that Lin Yuelan was not a kind-hearted person like a peasant girl. On the contrary, she was a ruthless and heartless person.
This time, this idiot had insulted her like this. As long as she gave the order, no one except the Emperor could protect her.
However, His Majesty was obviously biased towards Lin Yuelan. Otherwise, when the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom threatened His Majesty to force Lin Yuelan to marry him, he would not have said that Lin Yuelan could make the decision herself.
From this, it could be seen that Lin Yuelan's position in his heart was comparable to half of the country.
If His Majesty were to handle this matter, the crime of insulting the princess of the Guguo could implicate their whole family!
After all, the princess of Guguo was personally conferred by His Majesty. If she insulted Lin Yuelan, who was also His Majesty's adopted daughter, wouldn't that be equivalent to slapping His Majesty's face?
Secondly, no matter what her previous ident.i.ty was, she was now the princess of Guguo. She represented the dignity of the royal family. Her status was indescribable. Was this something that a daughter of a bureaucrat could casually provoke?
If she could scold the princess of Guguo today, then could she insult His Majesty tomorrow?
