Chapter 212 Father, Your Majesty, I Request You to Abdicate 27
In sharp contrast to the warm, harmonious and happy brotherhood in Jianzhang Palace, the situation in Wuyou Palace was tense and on the verge of exploding, like a powder keg ready to explode.
There was an extremely clear slap mark on Meiruo's fair and delicate cheek, and Jingxing's eyes were filled with endless anger and deep disappointment.
He couldn't help but wonder: When did the once innocent, well-behaved and cute sister who followed him and called him brother become such a cold-blooded person?
At this moment, Jiuli's beautiful eyes were as cold as frost, and her eyes revealed a chilling murderous aura; her red lips were tightly pursed, and from Jingxing's perspective, she was extremely similar to the awe-inspiring, iron-faced and impartial Emperor Cheng'an.
"Brother, watch your behavior! Don't forget your identity. Even if my men make mistakes, it is not your turn to intervene and discipline them!" Jiuli's voice suddenly became extremely cold, without any emotional fluctuations.
Jing Xing frowned upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief and grief. He stared at Jiu Li with wide eyes, his tone full of disappointment and reproach.
"Lin'an, why have you become so hard-hearted and inhuman now?
I even began to doubt whether the well-behaved and sensible sister in my memory had ever really existed!
Not only do you ignore your blood relatives, but you also don't try to persuade your father. You are helping the tyrants to commit atrocities and are an accomplice to the evil! "
These words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and it was hard to tell whether he was blaming Jiuli for her attitude towards the incident involving Princess Rong'an, or implying that Jiuli coveted the throne and was ambitious.
However, no matter what, the disappointment and dissatisfaction towards Jiuli were obvious.
Well-behaved and sensible? Isn't it that he is obviously smart, but deliberately pretends to be stupid; obviously talented and capable, but pretends to be a good-for-nothing? Obviously he has a photographic memory, but when Zhu Yuanzhi asked him, he said he knew nothing!
"Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teacher, I am only following my father's orders. How can I stand up to your unbridled and indiscriminate accusations?
You are so tolerant and kind, are you stepping on your father to get to the top? " The irony in this sentence is so strong that it cannot be dissolved.
"It's fine if he ignores social ethics and doesn't follow the rules, but he's already flirting with Zheng Ningyin before they even got married.
The so-called well-behaved and sensible, does it mean that as long as they don't pose a threat to you, they are well-behaved and sensible? ! "
"He is so arrogant and conceited that he has no sense of propriety at all. He has learned all the bad habits of the soldiers!" Every word was filled with poisonous stings that pierced deeply into people's hearts.
Hearing the fierce quarrel between the two people above, Meiruo, Meiwei, as well as Minyan, Zhili and others who were serving Jingxing, wished they could disappear immediately. They all huddled in a corner, trying their best to make themselves less conspicuous.
"How can she compare to Lin'an? She totally disregards the so-called three obediences and four virtues, and hangs out with those questionable people all day long! She doesn't behave like a woman at all!
Women should be chaste, elegant, dignified and generous. Look at yourself, which aspect of you meets the requirements? ! "
Jing Xing looked the other person up and down carefully, his eyes filled with flames of anger. As if he had finally found an outlet to vent his emotions, he spoke again.
"The princesses of the royal family all have their dresses made with patterns of beautiful things like phoenixes, flowers, birds, fish and insects, but what about you? Patterns of mountains and rivers? Are you trying to replace others?" he said meaningfully.
"Even if you wear the dragon robe, it can't hide your ugliness!" His words were sharp and he was no longer gentle to others.
After hearing this, Jiuli just leaned back slightly in the chair, seemingly not caring about what Jingxing said. A faint blush appeared at the corners of her eyes, and she raised her hand and gently wiped it upwards.
However, the moment he covered his cheek, a bone-chilling light suddenly flashed in his eyes. It seems that the plan can be advanced!
Seeing Jiuli wiping tears, Jingxing's heart softened slightly, wondering if what he said just now was too harsh. But these are irrefutable facts.
"All you have to do is come with me to apologize to your aunt!" The last word "admit your mistake" sounded particularly heavy.
It is hard to tell whether he wants to use this incident to make Jiuli admit her mistake or give up the fight.
"Admit your mistake?" Jiuli murmured, his eyes turning cold.
"Brother, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet?" The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"A mere commoner actually dares to make me bow my head and admit my mistakes to her?" Jiuli raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disdain and contempt, and even her words were filled with a strange smile.
"Brother, brother, you should spend more time and care about father! As for other insignificant people, they don't deserve my attention and apology at all." He said indifferently.
Jingxing looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. His originally innocent face seemed to become blurred in an instant, replaced by the cold and ruthless look he had now.
The hand beside him unconsciously rose and fell, and finally turned into a long sigh. He closed his eyes tightly, and an indescribable sense of strangeness surged in his heart.
The once innocent, well-behaved and sensible girl seemed to have disappeared in time. In just six years, she has drifted away from me and now she is this cold and ruthless stranger.
"Well, since you are so stubborn, just take care of yourself." After saying this, Jingxing turned around and led Min Yan Zhili and others to leave Wuyou Palace without looking back.
The direction they left was neither the Jianzhang Palace where Emperor Cheng'an lived, nor the Changle Palace, but they went straight to the Ye Ting.
After watching Jingxing and his group walk farther and farther away and disappear from their sight, Meiruo and Meiqi quickly walked to Jiuli.
Both of them were indignant at the Crown Prince's behavior: "Your Highness is really going too far!"
"What happened today must not be publicized to the public. Otherwise, Ye Ting will be your fate." Jiuli's voice was extremely cold, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"Yes." Meiruo and Meili responded in unison, and then respectfully saluted Jiuli's departing back.
Only after Jiuli completely disappeared into the inner room did the two of them slowly stand up.
"Sister Meiruo, is your face okay?" Meiruo looked at the burning slap mark on her cheek with heartache. It was swollen and slightly blue.
"How could you be so impulsive and dare to contradict the prince?!"
After all, the eldest princess and the crown prince are from the same mother. Even if the crown prince is furious, he will not harm the eldest princess. However, in the eyes of the superiors, servants like them may not be as powerful as cats.
Just now, Meiruo rushed out to receive the slap, which scared her a lot. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he has also trained in the Northern Territory for many years. His martial arts skills must be very strong. How could she possibly take it?
"It doesn't hurt," Meiruo closed her eyes and turned to comfort Meiyi, "Your Highness must be feeling bad too, you wait here."
"I will definitely take good care of Your Highness. Go and apply the medicine quickly." He urged. What would happen if his appearance was ruined?
He was worried in his heart, but his face had regained its usual calmness. However, he didn't know that the news of the Crown Prince's frosty face when he came out of Wuyou Palace had spread throughout the inner court. One could guess the reason with one's toes.
