The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 181 The Imperial Concubine Who Can Change Her Face

Suddenly, a large group of people appeared at the gate of Yaohua Palace.

The person in the lead was none other than the current emperor, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe...Emperor Qian Yao!

When Zhao Nianyue heard Emperor Qian Yao's voice, her body trembled violently.

Then her face showed joy, and a shy blush instantly appeared on her cheeks.

She walked forward quickly and was about to kneel down to salute, but Emperor Qian Yao stepped forward and supported her.

"Your Majesty, I greet you..."

Zhao Nianyue said softly, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Emperor Qianyao.

"Please excuse me, my beloved concubine!"

As Emperor Qian Yao spoke, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Nianyue's arm.

Stop her from kneeling down and help her up.

At this time, other people in Yaohua Palace also knelt down and kowtowed in greeting.

However, Emperor Qianyao didn't seem to care about them. His eyes always stayed on Zhao Nianyue.

His eyes were full of pampering and tenderness.

Emperor Qian Yao gently placed his hand on the back of Zhao Nianyue's hand.

He rubbed it back and forth a few times, as if feeling the delicate touch of her skin.

Zhao Nianyue lowered her eyes, a happy smile on her face, looking particularly gentle and lovely.

At this moment, Emperor Qian Yao's gaze inadvertently swept over Leng Xinmo who was standing beside him, and his eyes flashed slightly.

The gentle smile on his face gradually faded.

Instead, there is an elusive expression.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Qianyao finally asked, "Why is Princess Mingnuo in Yaohua Palace?"

Leng Xinmo looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.

His eyes fell on Zhao Nianyue who was standing beside Emperor Qian Yao.

Her eyes clearly said, "It was your lady who summoned me here!"

Emperor Qianyao followed Leng Xinmo's line of sight and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:

"My beloved concubine?" He thought to himself, puzzled by Zhao Nianyue's behavior.

Zhao Nianyue was slightly stunned, but soon smiled again.

She replied softly, "Your Majesty, it was indeed me who summoned Princess Mingnuo to the palace."

Emperor Qianyao's eyes became deep and he asked:

"Oh? Why did my beloved concubine summon Princess Mingnuo?"

He knew very well that he had once expressly forbidden the imperial concubine from interfering in the affairs of Princess Mingnuo.

Zhao Nianyue slowly lowered her eyes, her voice slightly low and choked with sobs:

"Your Majesty, Shang'er is marching west today..."

Hearing this, Qian Wushang's expression instantly became solemn.

He stared at Zhao Nianyue's sad and mournful face, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually dissipated.

Zhao Nianyue took a deep breath and continued, "Back then, I had no choice but to leave the palace.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, seventeen years have passed.

And Shang'er is no longer the young and ignorant eight-year-old child.

He has now grown into a brave, fearless, yet cold and resolute general."

At the end of her speech, her tone revealed endless emotion and sorrow.

In the past few days, I have seen Shang'er several times.

But every time we meet, I feel extremely heartbroken and sad..."

Zhao Nianyue's voice was trembling slightly, with a hint of sobs in it.

She paused for a moment and continued, "But Shang'er has become much more estranged from me, his mother!

Today, Shang'er is about to leave the palace to march west, but due to my status, I am unable to leave the city to see him off.

Shang'er is the prince of Qianyao and he should serve the country and the people.

I understand this in my heart.

However, as a mother, my longing for Shang'er becomes stronger and stronger.

Just want to know more about him.

Over the years, Shang'er has been running around on the battlefield.

After fighting wars all over the country, the time left in Fengyao is really limited.

I heard that when Shang'er returned this time, he seemed to have a very close relationship with Princess Mingnuo.

Therefore, I finally couldn't suppress my inner impulse and summoned the princess into the palace.

This action of mine was indeed a little rash, and I hope Your Majesty can forgive my sins."

Zhao Nianyue's words were sincere and her face was full of sadness and self-blame.

How could Emperor Qian Yao bear to blame her anymore when he looked at her in front of him?

Over the years, the two of them have suffered from lovesickness.

And for their son, Shang'er, this longing may be even deeper into his bones, making him overwhelmed.

Emperor Qian Yao held Zhao Nianyue in his arms and whispered a few words of comfort.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

His eyes slowly swept over the maids who were kneeling on the ground with different expressions.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a somewhat playful smile, he asked:

"I almost forgot, my beloved, who did you say you wanted to apologize to just now?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Nianyue's originally tender expression suddenly stiffened.

But he quickly recovered and forced a smile on his face, and replied:

"Your Majesty, it was my maid who was ignorant and offended Princess Mingnuo.

Just now, the princess was teaching the ignorant maid a lesson on my behalf."

Zhao Nianyue did not explain in detail what Xia Yu said.

It was just mentioned vaguely.

However, she immediately added that Leng Xinmo was teaching her maid.

This seemingly simple sentence actually contains profound meaning.

A princess of the imperial concubine actually openly taught the imperial concubine's servants a lesson in the imperial concubine's palace.

Such an understated description is enough to label Leng Xinmo as "overstepping one's authority".

Leng Xinmo sneered inwardly, thinking that this Concubine Zhao was really good at using a soft knife to kill people!

At this moment, Emperor Qian Yao's deep eyes scanned everyone present like an eagle.

"Oh? Which maid of my beloved concubine was taught a lesson by Princess Mingnuo?"

Yue'er and A Xiu were pale, and extreme fear made their faces bloodless.

A hint of viciousness flashed in Dong Shuang's slightly lowered eyes.

The summer rain seems to come unintentionally.

Let her cheeks, which were swollen like steamed buns, be shown in front of Emperor Qian Yao.

"Your Majesty, it was Slave Bei Xia Yu! It was... it was Slave Bei who said the wrong thing accidentally.

I angered Princess Mingnuo, so the Princess... all this is Nubei's fault, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

As Xia Yu spoke, he knelt on the ground, his body shaking constantly.

Like a fallen leaf in the wind, shivering.

I even shivered uncontrollably because of fear.

However, at an angle where no one noticed.

Xia Yu's black eyes, which should have been filled with fear and regret.

At this moment, there was a glimmer of gloating that was difficult to conceal.

Princess Mingnuo!

Do you really think that just by having the title of a princess you are more noble than us slaves?

After all, you are nothing more than a lowly orphan! Humph!

I would really like to see His Majesty stand up and support the Queen now.

When it comes to punishing you, the so-called princess, who can save you?

Just as Xia Yu's lips formed a smug smile.

The next moment, her smile suddenly froze on her face.
