The air seemed to be still for a moment.

Mu Xue covered her face in disbelief, her expression twisted: "Yan Li, you dare to attack me!"

Yan Li stood up and looked at her without saying a word. After a moment, he slapped her again with his backhand, snap!

"I'm the one who attacked you." Yan Li's voice was chilling, "You can go back and tell your mother now."

"Princess Nanyang, what are you doing?!" Zhao Ma, who was standing outside the courtyard, was startled and hurried over, pointing at Yan Li and scolding, "Princess Nanyang is so timid that she even dares to attack the legitimate princess! Do you want to rebel?!"

"I've already attacked." Yan Li rubbed his wrist slowly, "I can go to the palace with Princess Xiao to see the emperor later."

Mu Xue pointed at Yan Li angrily and tremblingly, unable to say a word for a long time, and finally ran away crying.

Zhao Ma looked at Yan Li as if she was looking at a monster.

She obviously couldn't have imagined that Yan Li had become so unscrupulous that she even did not care about the legitimate princess under the queen's knee.

She wanted to go to heaven, she was going to go to heaven!

Nanny Zhao quickly chased Mu Xue away, and the other palace maids followed her trotting behind her.

Yan Li lay back on the chair, raised her hands to cover her eyelids, thinking to herself that if others don't offend, I won't offend others.

These princesses who are noble on the surface but full of dirty thoughts in their hearts, have not learned much about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but have learned all the dirty things in the harem.

"Princess." Nanny An frowned, "The princess will definitely complain."

Yan Li said indifferently: "I'm afraid she won't complain."

Nanny An heard this and knew that she had a plan to deal with it, so she nodded and felt relieved.

Mu Xue did go back to the palace to complain, but the way she complained was a bit special. She cried and had no manners at all, so the queen couldn't ask her about the whole story.

She could only ask Zhao Ma.

When Mu Xue and Yan Li were talking, Zhao Ma was far away and had no idea what they were talking about.

She could only exaggerate what she saw and heard. When the queen learned that it was Yan Li who raped Mu Xue, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and she immediately ordered someone to invite the emperor over.

Emperor Zhaocheng hurried to Fengyi Palace and saw Mu Xue crying on the bed. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty." The queen's eyes were red. "Xue'er is my concubine's only daughter and your legitimate daughter. Your Majesty just watched her being bullied like this?"

"Don't worry, talk slowly." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood and soothed her gently, "What happened?"

Madam Zhao replied respectfully, "Princess Nanyang slapped the legitimate princess twice."

Yan Li?

Emperor Zhaocheng's expression sank. He stared at Mu Xue, who was crying aggrievedly, for a moment, and walked to the main seat without saying a word and sat down.

"Your Majesty, no matter how you pamper her, I have turned a blind eye. I have apologized for the prince's breaking of the engagement. But how did Mu Xue offend her?" The queen complained with red eyes, "If your Majesty continues to protect her, I will not agree!"

Emperor Zhaocheng asked calmly, "Mu Xue went to the palace today?"

The queen choked and realized that she had not yet asked why Mu Xue went to the palace.

"Jingyue stayed in the palace to take care of Xiuhan and could not show filial piety in front of the elders." She found a temporary reason that sounded reasonable, "Mu Xue went to visit Master Jiang and the old lady on behalf of Jingyue."

Visiting Master Jiang and the old lady?

Emperor Zhaocheng obviously did not believe this statement, but he was in a good mood at the moment and did not want to care about these details.

Before coming, he was still talking to the young general of the Southern Kingdom in the imperial study, and the other party said that the marriage was not forced.

If the Ninth Prince really loves Princess Nanyang, they will naturally help each other.

It is also said that General Rong might discuss border defense with the Ninth Prince this time. If the Ninth Prince is as powerful as the rumors say, General Rong may become friends with the Ninth Prince.

Emperor Zhaocheng knew that Mu Cang was not willing to make friends with others casually, and would not rush to make friends just because the other party was a powerful country.

But the South Country can express goodwill, which is still a happy thing for the Mu Country.

Emperor Zhaocheng even thought about whether to implement the decision of marriage and marry Mu Xue to the South Country as a princess?

Mu Xue is a legitimate princess after all. If the marriage can be successful, it will be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaocheng turned his head to look at Mu Xue who was crying on the bed, and said helplessly: "Don't cry, if you have something to say, what's the point of crying for a legitimate princess?"
