Chapter 497 - Ling Ruiers Violent Disturbance (2/2)
“I will plead her cause. What happened at the King Yan’s Manor was that a concubine died, and a woman and her baby of royal blood in her womb died. Why did Consort Yan blame me for causing problems when she was fine? What about Consort Chu? Who asked her if she had been wronged?”
At this time, Mo Xuetong said rightfully. She defended Ling Rui’er as if she were totally devoted to it. Looking at the Empress sitting high with an expression of slightly displeasure on her face, You Yue’e knew that she was thinking about children that Mo Xuetong had just mentioned.
After all, neither the King Chu’s Manor nor King Xuan’s Manor had any children in their palaces. If King Yan’s Manor had a son, it would be of great benefit to King Yan and would help him to fight for the throne. But the problem was that the child had nothing to do with King Yan, and it was the result of her eldest brother’s calculation of Mo Xuetong.
Thinking of this matter, You Yue’e felt more aggrieved. It was not the prince’s child at all but was the child of an escort of her eldest brother. If the baby did come out, that would be a scandal for the royal family. But she could not speak of it, or there would be a lot of trouble. If the Emperor found out that King Yan was really calculating King Xuan, they would be in great trouble.
But now Mo Xuetong insisted that she killed King Yan’s children and compared her to Ling Rui’er. For this reason, even the Empress’ face darkened. She was obviously very unhappy with her. You Yue’e laughed angrily, pointed at Mo Xuetong, and said angrily, “Ling Rui’er is vicious, and it’s her own business. I wouldn’t do such a wicked thing. What happened at the manor was a deliberate attempt to frame me.”
She was so angry that she could not think normally. She only knew that she was furious and acted against Mo Xuetong. Whatever Mo Xuetong said, she objected, but she forgot that Ling Rui’er was the Empress’s niece. No matter how far she went, Ling Rui’er was the daughter of the Ding General Manor. The Empress was embarra.s.sed when she spoke of Ling Rui’er’s demotion.
The Empress looked even angrier as You Yue’e spoke without thinking. She ignored them with a cold face. A maid came up, and tried to say something in the Empress’ ear, but she gave her a cold grunt and glared at her. Frightened, the maid did not dare to say anymore, and immediately retreated to the side.
“Consort Chu was wicked to do that. Consort Yan, were you born to be charitable? You did such a wicked thing, but still scolded Consort Chu.” Mo Xuetong caught a glimpse of a gorgeous train in bright red and argued even more for Ling Rui’er. “Consort Chu is usually arrogant, but in fact, she is not a wicked woman.”
When she heard Mo Xuetong still talking about her malevolence and saying that she was not as good as Ling Rui’er, You Yue’e was even angrier. She had always despised Ling Rui’er and snapped. “Why isn’t Ling Rui’er a wicked woman? The divorce is too light a punishment for her. Such women should be sentenced to death.”
In order to show her innocence and how much she hated such women, she scolded Ling Rui’er unkindly, as if only in this way could she show her innocence and prove that she was a completely different woman from Ling Rui’er. At the moment, her mind was completely following Mo Xuetong, and she just felt that she hated Mo Xuetong so much that she compared Ling Rui’er with her.
She went so far that the Empress, who was sitting high, snorted coldly and said, “Consort Yan, that’s enough. You’re not here to talk about Consort Chu. Let’s talk about the matter about the two of you.”
The Empress was p.i.s.sed off by You Yue’e. She sounded more and more like she was coming to denounce Ling Rui’er, and she called her mercilessly in front of her, which was like slapping her in the face. No matter how bad Ling Rui’er was, it was a private matter for the Ding General Manor, and the daughter of the Mingguo Manor had no right to swear at her.
She tried to force the conversation back, but someone interrupted her. Just as she finished speaking, another cold voice came. “Aunt, Your Majesty, I didn’t expect that when the daughter of our Ding General Manor was cursed by the Mingguo Manor, you ignored it. Is what they say true? Aunt, Your Majesty, are you going to live on Consort Yan? So even though she insulted me, you didn’t stop her.”
Everyone turned and saw Ling Rui’er, dressed in a bright red royal dress, entering from the entrance of the hall. Her face darkened with anger. She gave You Yue’e a nasty look and then sneered at the Empress. She had been here for quite a while. You Yue’e’s words made her mad enough to pop up. Just now, seeing her enter the palace, the maid wanted to inform the Empress, but the angry Empress ignored her.
“Rui’er?” The Empress did not expect that Ling Rui’er would suddenly appear. She paused for a moment, ruthlessly glared at the maid who had come to her before but did not report her arrival.
“Ling Rui’er?” You Yue’e was shocked too. She was swearing fiercely when Ling Rui’er turned up unexpectedly. Like a car that stopped suddenly, her face darkened and she froze.
Mo Xuetong was the most graceful. After the initial shock, a faint smile appeared on her face. She stood up and nodded to Ling Rui’er. She looked at her formal dress with a twinkle in her eye, but a little more curiosity than contempt. This made Ling Rui’er, who had been sensitive these days, less hostile to her. Mo Xuetong even said some good words for her just now. At this time, she saw Mo Xuetong was a lot easier on the eyes. She raised her nose and slightly snorted, as a greeting to her.
