Chapter 136 Sudden Abdominal Pain!
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and nodded at her, "You are all good children. In the future, come to the princess's residence to play often and keep me company."
"Yes, princess."
Everyone was astonished. To have won the favor of Princess Zhaoyang meant that the future of these two, whether it was their marriage or anything else, would be vastly different from that of ordinary young ladies!
However, when Sun Ruoxiang happily took Li Wanyue's hand, she asked with some suspicion, "Huh, didn't Miss Yang just say that only Miss Li was missing? Now that she's here, what about the others in the room?"
Sun Ruoxiang's mention reminded everyone that there was a man and a woman inside the house!
Consort Luo blinked, her eyes sparkling, and said with a charming smile, "Princess, this is, after all, your residence, your own private quarters. How could His Highness Prince Ming possibly do anything so improper here? It must be a misunderstanding. What do you think, Princess?"
Princess Zhaoyang raised an eyebrow slightly. This was a reminder that they were all members of the royal family! If Prince Ming were to embarrass himself here, it would be difficult to explain to the Empress. Oh well, her goal was to stop them from plotting against Li Wanyue, so that the General of the State's mansion would owe her a favor! Now that her goal had been achieved, she might as well give them face!
"Consort Luo is right. How could my second brother do such a shameless thing? Someone, please invite the ladies to the garden to enjoy the flowers. The forsythia is in full bloom right now, and it's a beautiful sight."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yang Yu'er's face was still pale, and she stood frozen in place. How could this be? Li Wanyue should have been inside, but why was she standing next to Princess Zhaoyang?
However, Madam Yang's expression remained relatively calm, though there seemed to be a hint of gloom in her eyes.
Just as everyone reached the courtyard gate, Mu Xin Nuan curled her lips into a sly smile, and then a roar came from inside the house!
"You vile woman! How dare you drug me?"
With such a clear and loud voice, it would be difficult for anyone not to recognize who was speaking!
Mu Xin Nuan curled her lips and glanced at Madam Yang and Consort Luo with a half-smile in her eyes. The show had only just begun, and it was already over. How boring!
Before Princess Zhaoyang could react, the door slammed shut with a bang, and the person who came out was none other than His Highness Prince Ming, who was somewhat disheveled!
Actually, his clothes were fairly neat, but his hair was a bit messy, and the jade crown that was originally on his head was nowhere to be found. The python belt on his body was also fastened a bit loosely.
Princess Zhaoyang held a handkerchief to her lips and exclaimed softly, "Second Imperial Brother? What, what's going on?"
King Ming walked up to Princess Zhaoyang, glared fiercely at Consort Luo, and then strode away!
Everyone only noticed the King's fury, assuming he was enraged because he had been tricked. No one noticed the bloodshot streaks in the King's eyes, which was quite abnormal!
"This, Princess, what do you think?" Even the experienced nanny was a little confused. Judging from what the prince said earlier, he had been drugged, and the person who drugged him should be in the room right now, right?
“Listen, it sounds like someone is crying inside. Judging from the voice, it sounds like a young woman,” Sun Ruoxiang blurted out.
Mu Xin Nuan tugged at her, "Don't talk nonsense! This is a matter of the Ming Prince's Mansion. We should just behave ourselves."
Sun Ruoxiang thought about it and agreed. She looked around again and realized that those who could attend the banquet at the Princess's residence today were certainly not of lowly status. Now that this had happened, it wasn't just her who had lost face, but also the entire family's.
"Guards, go in and see! How dare they drug the Prince in my Princess's residence! They've got some nerve! I will definitely give my second brother an explanation for this. If it was done by a servant in the residence, have them dragged away and beaten to death."
"Yes, Princess." Upon receiving the order, the nanny quickly led several maids into the room.
Everyone present knew that the princess was showing the woman some decency! If it were a maid from the princess's residence, it would be one thing—they could simply be beaten to death. But if it were a young lady from some noble family, and too many people went in and saw her in such a disheveled state, it would be incredibly embarrassing.
"Your Highness, it's Miss Luo Yingying from the Luo family. She's inside crying right now, and keeps saying she's been framed!"
Princess Zhaoyang was taken aback, then quickly glanced in the direction where Mu Xinnuan and the others were standing! But soon, she fixed her gaze on Consort Luo's face. Since she was from the Luo family, things would be much easier.
"Consort Luo, since she is your cousin, I will not interfere further. After all, you are family. As for what happens next, please take her away first."
Yang Yu'er suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible! How could it be my cousin? No way! No way!"
Princess Zhaoyang looked at her sharply, but her smile was extremely gentle. "What? According to Miss Yang, whose young lady is in that room?"
Yang Yu'er was taken aback, her eyes showing some panic. She quickly shook her head and said, "No! That's not what I meant! Please, Your Highness, understand."
"Hmph! I never expected that such a thing would happen at my perfectly good birthday banquet. Guards, escort the Luo family out."
"Yes, princess."
Consort Luo and Madam Yang were both taken aback. Princess Zhaoyang had just mentioned the Luo family! Did this mean she had angered the Luo family?
Princess Zhaoyang had only taken a few steps when she suddenly cried out in pain. Those around her quickly supported her, asking, "What's wrong, Princess?"
"Quickly summon the imperial physician; I suddenly have some abdominal pain."
"Yes, princess."
After the princess was helped back to the East Warm Pavilion to rest, none of the others, who had originally intended to resign, dared to utter a word. The princess suddenly experienced abdominal pain; who knew if this was due to someone's influence?
Mu Xin Nuan's bright eyes had been observing Madam Yang the entire time. While most others showed worry and fear upon hearing the princess's soft cry, Madam Yang alone wore a smile! It seemed her initial guess was correct; they had harbored such intentions from the start!
Mu Xin Nuan followed Li Shi and the others all the way to the princess's courtyard and waited. They all stood below the steps, and everyone was extremely anxious. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that something might really happen to the princess, which would be a real problem!
"What do you think is wrong with the princess?" Sun Ruoxiang asked in a low voice.
Mu Xinnuan blinked and glanced in Madam Yang's direction. "Just wait patiently. I believe the princess will be alright."
