The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 85

The imprisonment of the imperial princes in the palace instantly threw the womenfolk of each residence into a panic, making them run everywhere to find ways to pull some strings. Noble and gentry clans in Shengjing were all shaken, too. Many of them gathered together and ganged up.

The only exception was the sixth prince's residence that had tightly closed gates. One could not catch sparrows on their doorsteps. Upon a glance, it looked as if the people of the sixth prince's residence were gone and the place was empty. There was not even one servant going in or out to be seen.

"Mu'shi, what's the meaning of this?" As soon as He Lian Min Min burst in, she saw Mu Xi Yao leisurely teasing two rabbits. She became so angry her eyes turned red.

When Mu Xi Yao saw He Lian Min Min grace her in person, she got up to welcome her, "Since principal consort has personally graced Danruo Courtyard, qie should properly receive you." She ordered Mo Lan to serve tea. All smiles, she asked He Lian Min Min to take a seat.

Unexpectedly, He Lian Min Min didn't appreciate her kindness. With pairs of eyes brimming with tears and shaking hands, she pointed at Mu Xi Yao and showered her with scolding.

"You times and again hinder me from going out of the palace to seek help. His Highness's deep favor was wasted on you. In a critical time, he receives such a reciprocation from you!"

Although He Lian Min Min married over only for few days, she understood clearly that all of her prospects laid on Zhong Zheng Lin from now on. Now that the sixth Highness was in difficulty, how could she watch with folded arms? This woman not only won't step in and take some actions, but she also won't let her go back to He Lian House and seek help from her father. She clearly cannot bear to see her make contributions at the time of his Highness's hardship!

What angered He Lian Min Min the most was Mu Xi Yao's ignorance of the gravity of the situation. Before she strives for a favor, why doesn't she look at what is the current situation? If something happened to his Highness, will the residence have a good time?

While the two crossed swords, Su Lin Rou hurriedly arrived with her maidservants. As soon as she came in, she started a heart-wrenching cry.

"Mu'shi, you actually dare to retaliate me in private by beating the servant girl I sent to Su House near death. Princess consort, you have to grant justice to qie. While the prince's residence is being tossed about by the wind and rain, not only she won't put forward any plans nor ideas, she actually goes as far as to seize the opportunity to eliminate her opponents and oppress the inner yard!"

Su Lin Rou cried until her liver and guts cut to pieces. The person servants behind her carried was the maid Tian Fu Shan ordered people to beat badly.

Mu Xi Yao's brows knitted when she listened to her exaggerating words. Zhong Zheng Lin was still well in the palace. Yet, according to her the prince's residence was being "tossed about by the wind and rain"?

He Lian Min Min listened to her insolent words. Su Lin Rou actually cursed the prince's residence, saying that it hung by a thread. Was she pointing at the mulberry tree and curse the locust tree, implying that she just married over and has already brought an ill fortune upon the whole residence? He Lian Min Min became so enraged she slapped Su Lin Rou in the face, hitting so hard the person fell on the ground, unable to recover for half a day.

"The prince's residence is very stable. It won't tolerate you sputtering presumptuous words!"

As Mu Xi Yao watched these two women make the whole courtyard's atmosphere turn murky, she felt extremely helpless.

Well done, Zhong Zheng Lin! Not only he isn't satisfied with stirring troubles for her. He also brings with himself a bunch of love debts. At the moment, he's enjoying peaceful days in the palace while turning her courtyard into a complete mess.
