Chapter 1841: Another Wave Before It Comes

Just as the guards were about to take Qiuxiang away again, Lin Yuelan stopped them again.” Wait!”

The empress and the crown prince looked at her in confusion.

Qiuxiang’s presence was clearly disadvantageous to her, so why did Lin Yuelan want her to stay?

The Empress was puzzled.” Princess? You… This…” She glanced at Qiuxiang, feeling a little confused.

However, before Lin Yuelan could say anything, it was Prince Ping who spoke first,” Imperial Sister-in-law, this girl is also an important witness in this matter. Isn’t it a little inappropriate to bring her away now?”

At this point, he looked at Lin Yuelan suspiciously before turning back to the Empress. He seemed to be a little aggressive as he said,” Or are you taking advantage of this opportunity to silence her?”

The empress’s gaze turned ruthless. She said calmly and somewhat angrily,” Prince Ping, please don’t slander me!”

However, Prince Ping did not give up.” Imperial Sister-in-law, why did you react so much? I was just saying it.” At this point, he stared at the Empress with even more suspicion and said sharply,” Or does the Empress really have such plans, and I’m right?”

They almost said that Lin Yuelan was close to them, and they planned to cover up for her. Therefore, they had to get rid of Qiuxiang.

When the Empress heard this, her face turned ashen and extremely ugly.

Just as she was about to retort, the Emperor said sternly,” Third Brother, please mind your words! The Empress is your Imperial Sister-in-law. If you disrespect her, it is disrespectful to me!”

Prince Ping’s expression changed. He immediately knelt down and said,” I wouldn’t dare!”

The Emperor snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, you don’t dare? I see that you dare! I am right here, yet you can pretend not to see and treat your Imperial Sister-in-law so rudely. Third brother, I see that you have been living a stable life for a long time and want to find something to do, right?”

The Emperor’s implication was that he wanted to deal with the Crown Prince or rebel.

This time, Prince Ping’s expression changed drastically. He immediately kowtowed and said,” Imperial Brother, I wouldn’t dare! Your Majesty… Imperial brother only thinks that this servant is a witness to this matter and must stay here to investigate the truth! Therefore, when I heard that the Empress was going to take her away, I was anxious and didn’t watch what I was saying. Imperial Sister-in-law, Imperial Younger Brother didn’t do it on purpose. Please forgive Imperial Younger Brother.”

The Empress’s expression became slightly better.

However, her expression was not good because of Prince Ping’s apology, but because the Emperor chose to protect her between his brother and her. This made her feel a little good and sweet.

The Empress turned to the Emperor and said,” Your Majesty, Prince Ping only wanted to urgently investigate the truth of this case. He had no intention of offending me. Please forgive him this once.”

Prince Ping nodded.” Yes, yes, Royal Sister-in-law is right!”

The Emperor nodded and said,” Third Brother, seeing that the Empress has pleaded for you, I will forgive you this once. If there’s a next time, no matter who pleads for mercy, it’s useless. Remember this!”

Prince Ping nodded and replied,” I’ll remember it, Imperial Brother. Thank you, Imperial Sister-in-law!”

The Empress said coldly,” Prince Ping, there’s no need to thank me. I’m only forgiving you this once on account of your loyalty to the Emperor!”

The Emperor also said,” Third Brother, get up!”

“Thank you, Imperial Brother, Imperial Sister-in-law!”

After thanking the empress, Prince Ping stood up and kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Seeing this scene, the eldest grandson could not help but frown.

He knew very well that what seemed like the Emperor’s reprimand of Prince Ping was actually hinting that the Emperor was standing on the side of the Crown Prince and the Empress and had chosen Lin Yuelan.

At the thought of this, he was filled with resentment and anger. His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his wrists were bulging as if they were about to explode at any moment. It was ferocious and terrifying. However, he quickly released his hands, and everything returned to normal. It was as if he was not the one who was angry just now.

The eldest grandson secretly took a deep breath, then stood up and said very seriously,” Imperial Grandfather, could it be that the matter of Lin Yue Pavilion secretly harming Imperial Aunt and Imperial Nephew be forgotten just because Princess Gu is the head of Lin Yue Pavilion?”

He definitely could not let this matter go so easily. Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain!

The Emperor’s sharp gaze stared at him for a moment before he asked in a low voice,” Then Hong ‘er, what do you think we should do about this matter?”

Just as Yuwen Xuhong was about to speak, a guard hurriedly came in and reported,” Your Majesty, a group of commoners have arrived outside. They said that they are here to look for Princess Guguo, and…” At this point, the guard hesitated, not knowing what to say.

“And what?” The Emperor asked sternly.

The guard could only say,” They want Princess Guguo to pay them their wages!”

“What?” Even Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were surprised, let alone the emperor and the others.

“Wages?” The Emperor was puzzled.” Did I hear wrongly? Does the Princess of Guguo owe them wages?”

The guard replied truthfully,” Your Majesty, that’s what those people outside said!”

The Emperor looked at Lin Yuelan and asked in confusion,” Girl, when did you owe people wages?”

Lin Yuelan was also confused.” I don’t know when I owe people money. And they have to come to the Crown Prince’s Residence to ask for it.”

However, she clearly understood that what she encountered today might be a series of schemes.

No matter what plan it was, she would accept it. She just didn’t know how many plans they could come up with.

The Empress frowned and asked doubtfully,” How did those people know that Princess Gu had come to the Crown Prince’s residence?”

After all, today was the wedding day of the princess of Guguo. Most people knew that the princess of Guguo should be at her wedding party, right?

The imperial grandson said,” Imperial Grandfather, won’t we know what’s going on if we go and take a look?”

The Emperor nodded.” Indeed!”
