Chapter 1512: Follow-up
Xiao Jingyu sneered." Hmph, that's if she has the ability to find out about this princess!"
When the subordinate heard this, he thought for a moment and said," Princess, what do you mean?"
"Although this princess came up with the idea, the main culprit is the Liu residence." Xiao Jingyu said confidently," I'm the princess of the Black Cloud Kingdom. So what if they find out about me? Who can do anything to this princess?!"
The marriage alliance was her greatest reliance to save her life!
Even if she had committed a heinous crime, no one, including the Emperor of the Longyan Dynasty, could do anything to her!
In the Imperial City Courier Station, Xiao Jingrui was sitting in the room, his right thumb and index finger holding a small jade cup. The wine in the cup was as transparent as water. He put it into his mouth and took a sip. It was clear and sweet.
After hearing his subordinate's report, he said with a sinister expression," Oh, is that so?"
Then, he put down his wine glass and walked to the window. With his hands behind his back, he looked out of the window. However, if one noticed, his cold eyes flickered with a light.
Such a ruthless woman was the only woman worthy of him.
Then Xiao Jingrui asked," What was the reaction of the person in the palace?"
Although she had only dealt with one woman, the power involved was huge.
Even though Ding Bei Marquis' second son had decisively divorced his wife, and the Crown Prince had used a gift to call the Crown Prince Consort back to the Crown Prince Manor, Qingfeng City's Zhou Clan, the capital's Ye Manor, and the Crown Prince's Manor were all related by marriage. If the Zhou Clan wanted to take revenge on Lin Yuelan because of Zhou Shishi, then unless the Ye Manor and Crown Prince's Manor completely severed their relationship, the various forces would be mixed together, and it was very likely that they would become enemies with Lin Yuelan.
Xiao Jingrui's sharp eyes kept looking at the scenery outside the window. His hands were clasped behind his back, one hand constantly rubbing the green ring on the other thumb.
A moment later, he ordered sternly," Tell that person not to do anything for the time being!"
"Yes, sir!" The subordinate obeyed.
As for the person in the palace that Xiao Jingrui guessed, he didn't even frown when he heard Lin Yuelan's punishment for Zhou Shishi.
Then, he gave an order to the secret guard.
The matter of Guguo's princess severely punishing Qingfeng City's governor's daughter was like the wind, blowing to every corner of the capital.
Some people said that Princess Gu was too vicious and cruel to treat a girl like this.
Since she had committed the crime of offending her superiors, why not just kill her? Why did he have to torture her like that?
Tongue pulled out, hands cut off, face tattooed in public.
Most importantly, the princess of Gu Country was only a little girl who was not even fourteen years old.
Why was this little girl so cold and heartless?
There were also people who said that Princess Gu was right.
The princess of Guguo was being insulted by others. If she weren't given a severe punishment, the world would think that she was a weak and incompetent person. Any unknown person could bully a princess of Guguo.
If she did not punish Zhou Shishi today, perhaps tomorrow, there would be Li Shishi, Zhao Shishi, and others who would also point at her and curse and insult her. If this continued, not to mention the dignity of the princess, where would the face of the royal family be?
Because no matter where the title of Princess Gu came from, there was only one thing that was certain. It was the title of Princess Gu that was conferred by the Emperor and recognized by the Imperial Court.
Pointing at a recognized princess of the Guguo and scolding her like this, wasn't that pointing at the Emperor and the Imperial Court and scolding them?
How could the dignity of the royal family be challenged?
Since she had provoked her, she had to bear the consequences!
Therefore, Zhou Shishi had such a tragic end, and it was completely her own fault, and she totally deserved it.
Of course, there were also some who remained silent!
However, no matter what they said about the princess of Guguo, there was only one thing in common: Princess Gu was not to be trifled with!
However, Princess Gu had dealt with Zhou Shishi. Who knew if it would implicate the Qing Feng City's Governor-General Manor?
After all, Ding Bei Marquis heartlessly divorced his daughter-in-law, and the Crown Prince didn't hesitate to offer gifts to let the Crown Prince Consort return to the residence, probably because they were afraid that Princess Gu would vent her anger on them.
From this, one could see the status and prestige of the princess in the court.
It was definitely not a mascot that was just left there to be looked at by others.
..
Lin Yuelan didn't care how they talked about the princess of Guguo or how they evaluated her.
With these discussions and comments, the wine tasting began as scheduled!
Big merchants from all over the country also arrived as promised.
However, the arrival of these waves of people shocked everyone in the capital!
