Chapter 358: Take him out and execute him!
There was a sound of light footsteps, and the butler walked in slowly, bowed slightly, and said, "Princess."
Chu Zixi looked at the housekeeper gently and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
The butler looked a little solemn. He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Princess, people outside are discussing your identity. This..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zixi raised a faint smile and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes: "Oh? What are you talking about?" Her tone was calm, as if she had already expected all this.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed and said slowly: "They said you are the princess of Chu State, you are not Murong Yunhai's biological daughter, your mother... also implicated the Protectorate Mansion..."
Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes: "So soon? Humph, go investigate, catch the person behind the scenes, and whip him in the street to serve as a warning to others and make them shut up."
Yu Er frowned, "Princess, this can suppress the rumors, but..."
Chu Zixi said with a disdainful smile on her face: "I just want everyone to understand that in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is futile. By the way, where is Jun Feimo now?"
The butler replied respectfully, "What the princess said is absolutely right. The dignity of our Zhan Palace cannot be violated, and no one dares to challenge it easily. The prince went to the military camp to handle affairs early in the morning. In addition, just now Eunuch An came to pass on the message that the queen mother has invited him. I am worried that the queen mother's summons this time may be related to the rumors she heard."
Chu Zixi frowned slightly, "Since the Queen Mother is so eager to see me, then I just want to meet her."
The housekeeper couldn't help but look worried after hearing this, and hurriedly advised: "Princess, if you don't want to enter the palace, I can help you refuse Eunuch An. After the prince returns, we can go to the palace together to meet the Queen Mother."
Chu Zixi just smiled lightly. She was just an old woman. If it wasn't for Jun Feimo, she would have killed her. "No need." After saying that, she stood up gracefully, adjusted her skirt, and slowly walked out the door.
In front of the palace, Eunuch An has been waiting for a long time.
When Chu Zixi slowly walked out of Prince Zhan's mansion, Eunuch An was shocked. Murong Zixi? Could she really be the Princess of Chu?
At this moment, Eunuch An suddenly reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, and respectfully bowed to Chu Zixi.
Chu Zixi nodded slightly and said to Eunuch An indifferently: "Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting for too long, let's set off now." After that, she turned around and got on the carriage.
The carriage galloped all the way and soon arrived at the palace.
After entering the palace, Chu Zixi came to the Cining Palace.
In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting at the head of the table, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, revealing a sense of majesty. At this moment, her eyes were fixed on the person in front of her, with shock and anger flashing in her eyes.
"You...you...Murong Zixi, is it really you? How dare you kneel down and salute me when you see me?" The Queen Mother shouted angrily, with obvious displeasure in her voice.
Chu Zixi stood there, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, without any movement.
The Queen Mother's eyes widened with astonishment. She murmured to herself, "How is it possible? Murong Zixi, aren't you the daughter of Murong Yunhai?"
Chu Zixi smiled slightly and replied calmly: "The Queen Mother may not know that my last name is not Murong, but Chu."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy. She snorted heavily, her tone full of majesty and disdain: "Hmph, I don't care what your last name is! Get out of Prince Zhan's Mansion immediately. How can a woman like you become my daughter-in-law?" A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Chu Zixi's attitude.
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, still looking calm and composed. She spread her hands and a playful smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. "But your son wants me to be his wife. What should I do?" There was a hint of ridicule and helplessness in her tone, as if she was telling a fact that could not be changed.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was furious. She slammed the tea table so hard that the teacups rattled. "How dare you! Murong Zixi, how can you talk to me like that?" Her face was full of anger, as if she wanted to eat Chu Zixi alive.
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, with a bit of calmness and indifference in that smile, "Queen Mother, you too, can't you just enjoy your life? You have to be so picky about everything. As a person, you have to accept your age."
The Queen Mother widened her eyes, stared at Chu Zixi, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay... You're really a rebellion. How dare you talk to me like that." She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, as if it would explode in the next second.
Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows and looked at the empress dowager with a smile, "I'm just telling the truth. You are old, why are you so angry?" Her words were full of sarcasm and disdain.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Chu Zixi and said, "Someone come! Catch her for me and slap her in the face!" There was a hint of hysterical anger in her voice.
Upon hearing this, several palace maids immediately stepped forward, holding bamboo boards tightly in their hands and with fierce looks on their faces, as if they were about to attack Chu Zixi at the next moment.
Faced with all this, Chu Zixi did not show the slightest fear. On the contrary, her eyes became extremely cold, like the surface of a lake covered with frost.
Then, her body spun rapidly like a whirlwind, and she knocked the palace maids to the ground one by one with astonishing speed and strength.
For a moment, the entire palace was filled with the wailing sounds of the palace maids, one after another, without stopping.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she was stunned, her face filled with a mixture of astonishment and anger.
When she came to her senses, she was even more furious. Her voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that she was very angry about Chu Zixi's behavior.
Chu Zixi seemed relaxed and contented. She slowly sat down on an exquisite pearwood chair beside her, her posture relaxed and elegant.
She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was cold and indifferent: "Queen Mother, anger is harmful to your health. You must be careful and don't hurt your precious body for such a small matter."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She pointed at Chu Zixi angrily, her fingers trembling slightly with anger.
Her voice was as sharp as a knife, cutting through the air: "Murong Zixi, how dare you! Who allowed you to sit down so disrespectfully? Someone, quickly arrest this bold bitch! Take her out and execute her!"
At this moment, several guards armed with weapons immediately rushed into the hall and headed straight for Chu Zixi.
Chu Zixi waved her sleeves lightly, a breeze blew by, and a few imperceptible wisps of white powder fell from her sleeves and sprinkled on the guards.
In an instant, the guards who had been so aggressive seemed to have all their strength drained away. Their bodies became limp and they fell to the ground one after another.
