Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 731: Challenge to Authority
Yu Prajna always kneels only to heaven, earth and his parents, and never to anyone else.
Even when facing Xiao Zhan, she never knelt.
"How dare you! The Imperial Concubine asked you a question, how dare you not answer?"
Seeing that Yu Prajna was indifferent and silent, a servant beside Concubine Cheng took advantage of his power and rolled up his sleeves to teach her a lesson.
Since Yu Banruo was dressed in men's clothing, she looked like a dashing young man. Except for Feng Qin, everyone thought she was a man.
Concubine Cheng was originally an unfavored concubine in the palace. The long-term loneliness made her feel longing.
Seeing such a handsome man today, I couldn't help but be moved. I even had the idea of taking Yu Prajna as my concubine to relieve the loneliness in my heart.
Just as the attendant was about to take action, Concubine Cheng suddenly stopped him with a stern voice: "Stop! Who told you to touch him?"
The servant was so frightened that his legs went weak and he immediately fell to his knees.
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
Concubine Cheng stood up gracefully and walked to Yu Prajna with light steps, almost passing by her, her eyes fixed on this charming face.
Yu Prajna felt extremely uncomfortable with this kind of close contact. Her voice, which had not yet fully recovered, was a little hoarse, but surprisingly more attractive: "What do you want to do?"
“You know, in this palace, except for the emperor, other men are not allowed to enter and leave at will.
You were wandering around in Xuchen Palace. If I hadn't brought you here in time, your life would be in danger if the emperor found you.
So, I am your savior, how do you plan to thank me?"
Concubine Cheng's gaze wandered over Yu Prajna, as if it could ignite a flame.
"grateful?"
Yu Prajna raised an eyebrow, wondering if this woman had something wrong with her brain.
She had been staying in Xuchen Palace, but was dragged here by the imperial concubine. If it weren't for not wanting to implicate Jiang Xue, she could easily deal with these palace servants by herself.
"Ah."
Feng Qin on the side couldn't help but laugh softly.
Unexpectedly, Yu Banruo's men's clothing would make Cheng Fei infatuated. It seems that she really underestimated Yu Banruo's charm.
"Sister Cheng, you are such a joker. This girl is actually a girl. Please stop teasing her."
Although Feng Qin thought Concubine Cheng was stupid, she still gave her some face considering that she might be useful in the future.
"girl?"
When Cheng heard this, she was so shocked that her voice trembled. She hurriedly took a step back, away from Yu Prajna, and looked her up and down, as if to penetrate her soul.
Finally, his eyes rested on Yu Prajna's flat chest and he questioned, "How does this look like a woman?"
Yu Prajna felt the blue veins in her temples throbbing slightly.
Yes, her feminine features are not obvious, but that doesn't mean she can be looked down upon!
Suddenly, a crisp sound pierced the air—Yu Prajna’s internal force shook, and the ropes that bound her broke instantly.
Her face was as gloomy as water and her eyes were burning with anger.
Seeing this, Feng Qin gently raised her hand to signal, and Nangong Yue immediately stepped forward and stood behind her to protect her.
Seeing Yu Banruo's eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and hurt when she saw Nangong Yue, Feng Qin felt secretly proud.
This is the retribution for betrayal, Yu Prajna, is this pain too much for you to bear?
"Ayue!"
Yu Prajna murmured in a low voice, obviously not expecting to meet him here.
Before she finished her words, a cold light flashed, and a dagger pierced into her chest, almost passing through her heart!
She looked down at the wound, then turned her gaze to the person holding the knife - it was Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue quickly pulled out the dagger, and blood gushed out, with a few drops of blood splashing onto his face.
"Prajna!"
Jiang Xue exclaimed.
When Jiang Xue arrived, what she saw was Yu Prajna lying down covered in blood.
She ran over quickly, half-hugging Yu Prajna, trying her best to suppress her inner panic, and began to carefully check the injuries.
Although the situation was critical, fortunately, the injury did not affect the heart, it just looked shocking on the surface.
Jiang Xue quickly turned around and ordered Fu Dong: "Go find the imperial physician quickly!" There was a hint of subtle nervousness in her voice.
However, Cheng suddenly stopped them loudly: "Stop! This is the harem, everything must follow the rules.
This woman has committed a serious crime by trespassing into Xuchen Palace without permission. I ordered her execution, and it is reasonable. If anyone dares to ask the imperial physician for treatment, I will not let him off easily!"
The attendants followed the order and surrounded Fu Dong, trying to stop her from leaving. Jiang Xue calmly ordered, "Fu Dong, do it."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Dong leaped up and fired a crossbow in the air. Those who were trying to stop him fell down before they could react, and the scene froze in an instant.
"Jiang Xue, how dare you kill someone in the palace! You are truly lawless!"
Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, and she pointed at Jiang Xue and screamed, demanding that she be arrested and executed immediately.
"Someone come! Catch this woman! Kill her!"
These people who were killed were all Cheng's confidants, and they were the symbol of her Cheng family's power. If Jiang Xue was let go today, it would be like letting the Cheng family lose face and be bullied by others.
"Who did you say you were going to kill?"
Xiao Zhan's voice was cold and calm. He stood beside Jiang Xue and said just two words, "Stand back", which made the servants around him dare not act rashly.
Everyone knows that this monarch is ruthless, and he only shows his gentle side when facing Princess Changle.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Xue killed people wantonly in the palace, which seriously violated the palace rules! Although the Cheng family is not a top noble family, they have also made great contributions to the royal family. You can't favor her because of personal feelings, otherwise..."
"What else?"
Xiao Zhan interrupted her, his patience had reached its limit.
Cheng seemed to want to continue the threat, but Xiao Zhan was already tired of this old trick.
"Do you think I care about the attitude of your Cheng family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and Cheng found herself being strangled by Xiao Zhan's neck and hanging in the air. She kicked her feet desperately, trying to break free from his tight grip, but all she saw was the cold murderous intent in Xiao Zhan's eyes.
Your Majesty, please calm down and forgive Sister Cheng this time. She was filled with grief and anger because of the misfortune that befell her family, and she said something she shouldn’t have said in a moment of impulse.”
Seeing this, Feng Qin knew that if no help was given, Cheng's life would be in danger, so she pleaded softly to Xiao Zhan, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm in her tone.
She looked so helpless that almost everyone felt pity for her and wanted to agree to her request.
However, Xiao Zhan's heart remained unshaken. To him, Feng Qin's seemingly weak behavior seemed too deliberate and unconvincing.
The pressure Xiao Zhan put on Cheng did not ease, but instead became even tighter.
Cheng felt as if his chest was being pressed down by a heavy stone. It became increasingly difficult to breathe and the world in front of him gradually became blurred.
"I have already declared that Jiang Xue will be the queen of Beiling. You have been rude to her again and again, and even allowed your subordinates to hurt her. This is a challenge to my authority!"
