Chapter 933 Slapping Zhaoyang!
Seeing the smile on Mu Xin Nuan's face, Princess Zhao Yang felt extremely strange. She subconsciously pulled Shuang'er and shielded her behind her. As soon as she finished the action, she realized that something was wrong.
But at this moment, the shrewd Mu Xin Nuan had already seen through the clues.
"Guards, take Miss Shuang'er out first. I have something to say to the two princesses."
"Yes, ma'am."
Shuang'er didn't think much of it, but Princess Zhaoyang was naturally unwilling.
Who knows what Mu Xin Nuan is up to? What if she poisons her daughter as soon as she leaves?
This is what they call a guilty conscience.
"Your Highness, please speak freely. Shuang'er has grown up now, what is there to hide?"
Mu Xin Nuan's face turned cold. "What? In my Chengqian Palace, I can't even make decisions? Princess Zhaoyang, are you taking advantage of being the imperial elder sister to dare to defy my will like this? Don't forget, even if you are a princess, you are a married princess, while I am the Empress of Dayong!"
Mu Xin Nuan rarely showed such sharpness, and even Duanmu Jing was slightly surprised. However, she really didn't like this Princess Zhaoyang, so there was no need for her to speak up for her.
"Why should the Empress be angry? Do as you wish."
In fact, Princess Zhaoyang had already realized that she had been too hasty.
This is Chengqian Palace. If something happens to Shuang'er, the first person who will not escape punishment will be the Empress.
Therefore, she really shouldn't have done that.
Only the three of them remained in the main hall, along with Duanmu Zonghua, who lay unconscious on the bed.
"Zhaoyang, tell me, if my son doesn't wake up, what will the Emperor and I do?"
Zhao Yang felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. She felt that the Empress seemed rather strange today, and now, hearing her somewhat hoarse voice, she felt an even greater sense of coldness emanating from her.
"That's a matter between the Emperor and the Empress. How could I possibly know?" Zhao Yang forced herself to remain calm, telling herself that it was all just her overthinking.
"Is that so? I believe the first matter will definitely be related to the Luo family. Of course, if the princess thinks I don't have the ability, then let's wait and see."
"Fine! Let's talk about it after the Crown Prince doesn't wake up." Princess Zhaoyang was too lazy to pretend anymore, so she simply made her words even more vicious.
Duanmu Jing was immediately enraged, "Royal sister, what are you saying? How can you curse the crown prince of a country? This is a grave offense of disrespect!"
"Why are you in such a hurry, sister? Wasn't that what the Empress just asked? Didn't she say that if anything happened to her son, she would do this or that? Why do you have to pin any crime on me?"
Zhao Yang deliberately kept talking to Duanmu Zonghui, intending to provoke Mu Xinnuan and make her lose control, so that she would no longer be as dignified and gentle as before.
"Zhaoyang, do you think I'll be angry just because you said that?"
Mu Xin Nuan suddenly laughed, turned to look at her, and said, word by word, "My son will definitely be fine. As for the Luo family, I will make sure that the entire household suffers. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Zhao Yang was stunned by Mu Xin Nuan's imposing aura and paused for a moment before saying, "What does the Empress mean by this? What does the Crown Prince's safety have to do with the Luo family?"
"You're right. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on the Luo family. In that case, I'll make sure your princess's residence is in turmoil first, how about that?"
"Mu Xin Nuan, how dare you!"
In his anger, Zhao Yang forgot that the woman in front of him was the Empress of Dayong.
Mu Xin Nuan coldly shouted, "You're the one who's being insolent! Zhao Yang, do you really think that just because you're the Empress Dowager's biological daughter, I won't dare to do anything to you? What do you think you are? My repeated tolerance of you is just so you can take the opportunity to harm my child? You are simply unforgivable!"
Duanmu Jing was immediately frightened and looked at Princess Zhaoyang in disbelief. She really hoped that this incident had nothing to do with her sister.
That's her own nephew. Isn't it too outrageous to do this?
"Your Majesty, you can't just say things like that. You can't just accuse me of anything because you're the Empress. Tell me, you are indeed the Empress, but I am still a princess of the Great Yong."
"Hmph! So what?" Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking and hurriedly called out, "Chun Yu!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Princess Zhaoyang has openly disrespected me. She shall be slapped twenty times!"
"Yes, ma'am."
"How dare you! Mu Xin Nuan, I am a princess, the Empress Dowager's own daughter."
"She's too noisy. After you're done, just throw her out. If anyone asks, just say that she spoke inappropriately in Chengqian Palace and dared to curse the Crown Prince, which angered me."
"Yes, my wife, I understand."
After Chunyu finished speaking, she didn't say anything more and went straight forward to slap Zhaoyang across the face.
After a few moves, Mu Xin Nuan frowned and said, "Stop!"
Just when Princess Zhaoyang thought Mu Xinnuan was finally scared, her next words unexpectedly made her feel humiliated.
"Drag her outside the palace and beat her. It would be best if Consort Luo could see it with his own eyes. A vicious woman like her will only disgust me if she stays here."
"Yes, ma'am."
Chunyu was quite skilled; she grabbed Zhaoyang by the collar and dragged her outside.
Princess Zhaoyang had been pampered since childhood; she had never suffered such hardship before.
She was born of the legitimate wife and was always pampered wherever she went. When had she ever been treated so harshly?
"Let me go! You wretched servant, you're asking for death. Release me at once!"
No matter how much she cried out, Chunyu refused to let go until she dragged her into the courtyard, and then she started using both hands on her.
Not counting the few blows already delivered inside the palace, Chunyu counted again and delivered twenty more blows, until Princess Zhaoyang's cheeks were swollen and red, her hair disheveled, and her hairpins and ornaments scattered all over the floor.
The Emperor, Consort Luo, and Chu Rong, who were in the main hall, heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on. Good heavens, what was this?
Just then, Duanmu Jing came out and shook her head, saying, "Brother-in-law, when you go back, you should still have a good talk with the Empress. Why did she have to say such bad things about the Crown Prince at this time? It's clearly a curse on the Crown Prince. Fourth Sister-in-law has already shown her extraordinary mercy by only ordering someone to slap her mouth."
After saying that, she glanced at Chu Rong again and said, "If anyone dared to speak of our child like that, I would have already taken her life with my sword."
Consort Luo was shocked. She knew that Princess Zhaoyang had always been at odds with the Empress, but she never expected that she would dare to say such things in front of the Empress.
Duanmu Chuze's face darkened. "This is outrageous! The person lying in bed is your nephew. How could you bear to say such hurtful things? It's utterly disgraceful!"
