Nanny Yuan's expression changed slightly, "Madam, shouldn't we go back home first?"

Gu Xiling shook her head, "I can't go back home. My mother is not feeling well today. My son, I am not fully recovered yet. This matter was caused by me, so I must go and apologize in person."

Although this matter cannot be blamed on Gu Xiling, the royal family always wants to save face and must give enough face.

Nanny Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't you let me accompany you to the palace gate and ask the guards to inform the Marquis, at least to let him know."

Gu Xiling thought about it, and then said, "Okay!"

So Gu Xiling came to the palace gate, holding the emblem of Changning Marquis's Mansion, and asked to see the Queen Mother to apologize.

The eunuch passed the message, and it was estimated that the round trip would take half an hour.

Gu Xiling was waiting at the palace gate.

Although I don’t need to bask in the sun, I’m hungry and I haven’t eaten yet.

When Marquis Changning received the notification from the guards and learned the whole story, he was slightly stunned and immediately asked for leave.

He hurried to the palace gate and said to Gu Xiling, "Xiling, go back. I will handle this matter."

Gu Xiling replied: "Father, I have just asked to see the Queen. Princess Xueying was injured, although it is not my fault, but it is also related to me, and I, your daughter-in-law, cannot escape."

Marquis Changning thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I will apologize to His Majesty."

At this time, the Queen Mother in the palace showed concern, and the imperial physician was treating Princess Xueying.

Princess Xueying cried to the Queen, "Mother, Gu Xiling was so bold and reckless. It was her horse that hit my horse and that's why I was injured."

When the Queen heard this, she didn't believe it at all.

The Marquis of Changning's Mansion is a noble family that values ​​etiquette, and Gu Xiling also understands the rules.

Even if he was dissatisfied with Princess Xueying, he would not do such a thing in front of her. It was too stupid.

"Xueying, tell me the truth, what happened?" asked the Queen. "Don't hide it. I love you, but His Majesty is fair. If it's your fault, His Majesty will not protect you."

Princess Xueying can be willful, but she must not be unreasonable or ignorant of etiquette.

Princess Xueying's expression changed slightly, "Anyway...anyway, it was her horse that hit my horse."

Seeing Princess Xueying like this, the Queen said in a deep voice: "Then you should take good care of yourself. I will come to see you later."

"Mother, you promised my mother that you would protect me." Princess Xueying choked up, "I don't have parents anymore. You and father treat me as your own flesh and blood. You can't allow others to bully me."

The Queen's heart skipped a beat. In fact, she had not intended to adopt Princess Xueying under her name, but the Queen Mother cried and said that this was her only granddaughter.

Being raised under the name of the queen, his status is more noble and he will not be bullied or neglected.

Although Princess Xueying has been a little bit willful, she has never done anything outrageous.

But as she gets older, Xueying becomes more stubborn, willful, and even unreasonable.

"If it was Gu Xiling's fault, I would not forgive her." The Queen replied, implying that if it was not Gu Xiling's fault, she would not wrongly accuse anyone.

Return to Fengqi Palace and call the female guard over for questioning.

Although the female guards were warned by Princess Xueying, they did not dare to lie because they also knew that the Jinlin Guards were there today.

If they lie, they will be exposed.

After listening to the female guard's narration, the Queen felt a throbbing pain in her head, her body shook, and she almost fainted.

"This...this..." The Queen didn't know what to say!

She whipped the horse of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, then was hit by someone else's horse, and then she accused others of bullying her!

He confuses right and wrong and talks nonsense.

The royal family showed Xueying too much favor, making her lose her sense of self-esteem.

Just at this time, the eunuch came to report that the wife of the Crown Prince of Changning, Gu Xiling, was asking to see her at the palace gate to apologize.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, finally having a way out.

Otherwise, this matter would be really difficult to handle.

After all, Princess Xueying was injured, and it would be difficult to handle if the Gu family had no attitude.

It is now determined that Princess Xueying was injured because she was frightened by a horse and then hit by a horse from the Marquis of Changning's mansion.

There is no hatred or anything else wrong.

"Gu has worked very hard today, so there is no need for her to come in and apologize. I have already found out that Princess Xueying frightened her horse, and it has nothing to do with the Changning Marquisate. Gu is not wrong."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch responded and conveyed the Queen's oral instructions.

Just as Marquis Changning was about to ask for an audience with His Majesty, the eunuch came over and repeated the Queen's words verbatim.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Xiling expressed her gratitude and then kowtowed in the direction of Fengqi Palace at the palace gate.

Marquis Changning smiled and said, "The matter has been investigated. It has nothing to do with us. As for how the Queen and His Majesty educate Princess Xueying, that is their family affair. You should go back early, have a good rest, and don't worry too much."

"Thank you, father." Gu Xiling thanked him, and the matter seemed to be over.

However, Gu Xiling knew that Princess Xueying would not let it go. Instead, she would hate her even more because of the fair treatment given by the Queen and His Majesty.

Gu Xiling was mentally prepared, and next, it was her turn to make the move.

Gu Xiling returned to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, exhausted both physically and mentally. She changed into comfortable clothes and leaned on the chaise longue to rest.

Zhou Jin was particularly distressed when he learned that Gu Xiling had returned and also heard from the guards what had happened to her today.

"Xi Ling, is Princess Xueying ill? You have no dealings with her, so why would she deliberately cause trouble for you?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiling looked up at Zhou Jin, whose sword-like eyebrows were deep in his temples and who looked particularly handsome. She reached out and poked Zhou Jin's cheek, "Others are all about beautiful women, but I'm so lucky to have met a man who is also a disaster!"

Zhou Jin frowned slightly, looking puzzled. "What does this have to do with me? I swear, I only met Princess Xueying once. She said I was good-looking, and I said I was engaged. Other than that, we didn't have any contact."

Gu Xiling believed Zhou Jin. She also felt that Princess Xueying did not like Zhou Jin. She was just arrogant and was unhappy because she was rejected by Zhou Jin openly back then.

"A girl who was pampered and brought up has become spoiled. Anyway, I will not show up in places where she appears in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

Zhou Jin held Gu Xiling's hand and said, "We are upright and have nothing to fear from our own shadows. Even if she is a princess, we don't have to be afraid of her."

"It's not that I'm afraid, but I don't want to cause trouble." Gu Xiling replied, "After all, she is not an ordinary princess. Both her parents are dead, and there is also the Queen Mother. Even if the Queen and His Majesty can distinguish right from wrong, they always have to consider the Queen Mother's face and the face of the royal family."

Zhou Jin frowned slightly, "Isn't there any way to make her behave?"

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Yes, but we can't do it."

She would not take any action on the surface, but secretly, she would write a letter and send it out to stimulate the Red Lotus Sect to come to Beijing as soon as possible.

By then, the Red Lotus Cult will be filled with charming, handsome and good-looking men of all types.

Soon Princess Xueying will be happy and forget about leaving.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes, and Gu Xiling still underestimated Princess Xueying's ability to make trouble.
