Empress Qin said meaningfully, “Yunxi has a point. She’s the Eldest Princess. Even Consort Mu and the Sixth Princess can’t slander her. Consort Mu, the Seventh Prince has a very good character, it’s best if you don’t tarnish his reputation…”
‘This b*tch, Consort Mu, treasures Chu Yuemu’s reputation the most! I can use this chance to kick her while she’s down!’
The Empress Dowager chimed in at this moment in an unfriendly tone, “Since you’ve wronged someone, you should admit your mistake.”
‘This sl*t, Yu Yunxi, is really vicious. She’s actually advancing step by step. Even Consort Mu and Chu Zhihe aren’t a match for her. Forget it. Even if I can’t deal with Yu Yunxi today, I still want to make Consort Mu suffer a little so she won’t rely on the Emperor’s favor all the time to act arrogantly in the palace…
Seeing the Empress Dowager had spoken, Consort Mu knew that she had completely lost today. She was so angry that her body was trembling.
‘No, I can’t affect Yuemu’s chances in the fight for the throne. Today… I’ll have to lower my head…’
Consort Mu took a deep breath before she pulled Chu Zhihe’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Zhihe, you must have misunderstood Yunxi today. Since that’s the case, apologize to her properly, and this matter will be considered over.” Consort Mu only wanted to resolve this matter as quickly as possible so it would not affect Chu Yuemu.
However, to Chu Zhihe, this was no different from taking her life. Flames of fury burned in her heart as she shouted, “Mother, I’m not apologizing, I’m not apologizing! I didn’t do anything wrong! She broke my finger!”
“Zhihe!” Consort Mu said reproachfully. Seeing the way everyone was looking at them now, her mind buzzed with anger.
‘Why can’t Zhihe understand my good intentions?’
At this moment, Empress Qin said, “Sixth Princess, your mother wants you to apologize. If you don’t apologize, you might affect your Seventh Imperial Brother.”
Empress Qin’s words only reminded Chu Zhihe that her mother was forcing her to apologize to her enemy because her mother did not want to tarnish her brother’s reputation. She said defiantly, “Mother, I won’t apologize! I didn’t do anything wrong!”
Chu Zhihe felt extremely aggrieved. She had only made the bet because she wanted to win military power for her brother. However, for the sake of her brother, her mother wanted her to apologize to Yu Yunxi. She was the daughter of the Emperor, how could she apologize to Yu Yunxi? People in the capital would definitely laugh at her. f reewe b
Seeing how stubborn Chu Zhihe was about not apologizing, the expressions of disapproval on everyone’s faces were extremely obvious.
At this moment, Consort Mu took a deep breath before she raised her hand and slapped Chu Zhihe’s face.
“S-sixth… Sixth Princess…”
Chu Zhihe’s maidservant was in shock.
“Mother, you hit me?”
Chu Zhihe’s eyes reddened.
‘Mother actually hit me?’
Consort Mu’s heart ached for her daughter. However, with so many eyes on them, she could only force Chu Zhihe. She said, “Zhihe, apologize to your cousin.”
At this moment, Chu Zhihe saw a figure at the entrance.
The other party was slender and handsome. He was none other than Ying Jingtong, the direct descendant of the Ying family and a young general of Xichu.
Chu Zhihe was filled with even more hatred and resentment now that the person she admired saw her in her most miserable state. In the end, she said, “Mother, I understand.”
Then, Chu Zhihe glared at Yu Yunxi and said, “Yu Yunxi, I apologize to you.”
The hatred in Chu Zhihe’s eyes at this moment seemed like it could burn the entire world.
‘This is all this b*tch’s fault! Only one of us can exist in Xichu! From now on, I’ll do whatever it takes to make this b*tch go to hell!’
Yu Yunxi’s expression did not change at all when she met Chu Zhihe’s angry gaze. She smiled slightly and said, “Sixth Imperial Cousin, you have to be careful in the future. Remember not to accuse others carelessly. After all, not everyone is as good-tempered as I am…”
These words further angered Chu Zhihe. She gnashed her teeth so hard that she tasted blood in her mouth. She glared at Yu Yunxi for a few more moments before she covered her face and ran out.
Consort Mu tried to suppress her emotions and said with great difficulty to the Empress Dowager and Empress Qin, “I’m not feeling well so I’ll take my leave first.’
Before Consort Mu left, Empress Qin did not forget to stab Consort Mu again, saying, “Sister, don’t forget to copy the scriptures.” contemporary romance
Consort Mu’s body stiffened briefly. Although no one could see her expression at this moment, the hatred radiating from her body was palpable.
Empress Qin was in an extremely good mood seeing Consort Mu and Chu Zhihe leaving in such a sorry state. She even took the initiative to approach Yu Yunxi and hold Yu Yunxi’s hand. Then, she pretended to be kind as she said, “Yunxi, you’ve suffered. I didn’t expect that child, Zhihe, to slander you.”
“Thank you for your concern, Empress,” Yu Yunxi said coldly as she pulled her hand away. She naturally knew that Empress Qin was only using her to deal with Consort Mu.
Empress Qin’s expression froze for a moment when met with the cold reception, and a hint of viciousness flashed briefly in the depths of her eyes.
Seeing that Chu Zhihe had left, Yang Yeqi and the others were even more frightened, and they wanted to leave.
However, Yu Yunxi looked at them at this moment and said, “Did I say you can leave?”
Perhaps it was due to her oppressive aura, these few noble ladies could not endure it anymore and quickly fell on their knees in fear.
“Eldest Princess, we know our mistake! We didn’t slander you on purpose.”
Meanwhile, Yang Yeqi, who was the first to testify against Yu Yunxi earlier, pretended to be calm as she slowly said, “Eldest Princess, we misunderstood you. You have a noble status. You won’t take offense, right?”
Yu Yunxi sneered before she asked, “Miss Yang, based on your words, if I take offense, it’s because I’m too narrow-minded, right?”
Yang Yeqi remained silent. Based on her expression, it was clear that she acquiesced to Yu Yunxi’s words.
Yu Yunxi sighed and said nonchalantly, “What to do? I’m a narrow-minded person…”
Everyone looked at Yu Yunxi immediately with strange gazes.
‘This Eldest Princess’ personality is really… special…’
Even Ying Jingtong took another look at Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi no longer had the patience to deal with these people. She said bluntly, “Alright, tell me when you’re going to honor the bet and give me 10 ,ooo taels of silver each.”
Yang Yeqi’s turned red immediately, and she shouted, “Eldest Princess, it was just a joke. How can you take it seriously?”
Yang Yeqi absolutely could not give the money to Yu Yunxi. Otherwise, her father would beat her to death..
