Chapter 155: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Early the next morning, Wen Yanggang finished washing up with the help of his maids.
Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first. A shrill voice came from outside the bedroom door: "Princess Wenyang, the Empress Dowager invites you. Please follow me."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Dehai, who was beside the empress dowager, walked into Wen Yang's bedroom as if no one was around.
Qiu Ju said angrily, "How rude! My prince hasn't even let you in yet! How come you came in straight away?"
Qin Dehai remained unmoved in the face of Qiuju's accusations. He just curled the corners of his lips coldly, as if he didn't hear her and didn't take Qiuju seriously at all.
Qiuju was so angry that she wanted to argue a few more times, but Wen Yang raised his hand and pressed her behind him. Qin Dehai was the chief eunuch beside the empress dowager and a big shot on the side of the emperor. If Qiuju offended such a man and was hated by him...it would be very difficult to deal with him.
But at this moment, Qin Dehai ignored her identity as the Princess of Ling Kingdom and broke into her bedroom. Such rude behavior really showed that he did not take her, the Princess of Ling Kingdom, seriously.
Thinking of this, Wen Yang's eyes darkened, and a cold expression appeared in his eyes, but a polite smile still lingered on the corner of his mouth. He said, "Eunuch Qin, I respect the palace rules of Jiang State, but this Yuhua Palace has been given to me by the Queen Mother as my bedroom, so this place is my territory. By trespassing like this, aren't you showing disrespect for my Ling State?"
Although Wen Yang's tone was gentle, there was a hint of unquestionable pressure in his words.
After hearing Wen Yang's words, Qin Dehai felt a sudden tightness in his heart.
As a favorite of the Queen Mother, he could come and go freely anywhere in the palace, and no one except the Queen Mother dared to lecture him like that.
He originally thought that the princess of Ling Kingdom would be helpless when she came to Jiang Kingdom, and would be a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was actually shocked by the strong tone of pressure from the "soft persimmon" in his mind.
Qin Dehai suppressed his shock and bowed his head respectfully. "Your Highness, I am indeed being rude this time. Please forgive me... The Empress Dowager is still waiting for you. Please go with me to see her as soon as possible. If she gets impatient..."
Wen Yang couldn't help but sneer in her heart as she listened to Qin Dehai's insincere apology. This was really the case of "like master, like dog". The Queen Mother threatened her, and now even the dog beside the Queen Mother dared to threaten her.
She wanted to see if they would still dare to be so arrogant when the Queen Mother's regime was overthrown by Ling Han.
Wen Yang glanced at Qin Dehai coldly before standing up slowly. "In that case, I'll have to trouble Eunuch Qin to lead the way. Don't make the Empress Dowager wait anxiously..." Wen Yang spoke slowly, without any disrespect in his words, but his tone sounded inexplicably sarcastic...
Qin Dehai pursed his lips and then made a gesture of invitation to Wen Yang.
Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo also prepared to follow.
Qin Dehai held out his hand to stop him, "Wait a minute, you palace servants don't have to follow me."
After hearing this, Wen Yang looked up at Qin Dehai, "As the princess of Ling Kingdom, am I not worthy of having an attendant by my side? If I were treated like this in Jiang Kingdom, my father and mother, who are far away in Ling Kingdom, would surely be worried about me if they knew..."
Wen Yang looked at the indecipherable expression on Qin Dehai's face and smiled coldly in her heart. Doesn't the Jiang Kingdom love to threaten people? Then she should adapt to the local customs. Now her father is still in power in the Ling Kingdom. As long as her father is still there, she will have a backer.
Sure enough, after hearing Wen Yang's words, Qin Dehai lowered his head and said respectfully to Wen Yang, "This time, I am meddling in other people's business. The Empress Dowager did not give such an order. This action is an overstepping of my authority. Please, Your Highness, do not blame the Empress Dowager..."
After hearing this explanation, Wen Yang glanced coldly at Qin Dehai, then turned to Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo and said, "Let's go."
Then he turned to Qiuju and said, "Qiuju, you stay in the bedroom and wait for me to come back."
"Yes." Qiu Ju agreed honestly. She didn't ask to stay with Wen Yang. She knew that she had no martial arts skills. If an emergency occurred, she would not only be unable to help His Highness, but would probably be a hindrance.
After giving the instructions, Wen Yang took Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo out of the palace.
Qin Dehai hurriedly followed.
Under the leadership of Qin Dehai, Wen Yang soon arrived at the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived.
After Qin Dehai went in to report the incident and obtained the Empress Dowager's consent, he led Wen Yang in. Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo were outside the Cining Palace.
When Wen Yang stepped into the Cining Palace, he discovered that the decoration inside the Cining Palace was truly luxurious and could be described as magnificent. There were delicate carvings on each pillar, and the floor was covered with extremely soft carpets. There were also various rare antiques displayed everywhere in the store, and they were all priceless treasures at first glance.
What surprised her even more was that after she came in, she found that the little emperor was also present. However, at this moment, the little emperor was sitting on a round stool with his eyes lowered. The expression on his face was obviously dazed and dull. He looked completely different from last night.
Then Wen Yang turned his gaze to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was sitting on the main seat, wearing luxurious clothes, and her eyes were as sharp as the ones he saw in the Golden Palace yesterday.
She glanced up and down at Wen Yang before slowly speaking, "How was your first night in Jiang Country?"
Wen Yang didn't believe that the Queen Mother had called her here just to ask such a simple question, so she bowed slightly and made an elegant salute. "Thanks to the Queen Mother, I spent a peaceful night in Yuhua Palace."
"Well, that's good." The Queen Mother nodded slightly, her tone sounding very calm.
But Wen Yang did not dare to relax at all.
As expected, the next second, she heard the Queen Mother say, "I heard that His Majesty went to Yuhua Palace last night. Is this true?"
Wen Yang maintained basic courtesy and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor did come to Yuhua Palace last night, but he only stayed briefly and had a few words with her."
"Oh? A brief conversation? It just so happens that the emperor told me the same thing just now, but I have a bad memory and have forgotten it now. Why don't you help me recall it..."
