C25 Protecting the Weak!

Spring roll dared to speak, “That, that, Your Royal Highness, the princess and Noble Consort Lin had some conflicts this morning. They fought, they fought.” She hesitated and told him everything, as if she was afraid of Gu Jun’an’s anger. She even said, “The princess was a little too strong, and everyone knows about it in Canglan. It wasn’t intentional. And the princess was angry, so Noble Consort Lin had to listen to this servant’s half a sentence! And she even took the pillow and smashed the princess…”

“Okay, I got it!” Gu Jun’an didn’t bother about it and walked straight in.

Spring roll stood at the door for a long time, “Oh, did I hallucinate? What did Your Royal Highness say?”

She knew what it meant.

After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t figure it out, so she could only jog in. No matter what, she had to protect the princess. She encouraged herself and went in with courage.

As soon as she went in, someone came to inform the Emperor’s personal eunuch, Little Fu Zi. The Emperor told him to come because Lan Qingqian and Noble Consort Lin had a conflict this morning.

“His Majesty said that this wasn’t a big deal, but Noble Consort Lin was injured a little too badly. The imperial physician is treating her. His Majesty said that since the princess was young, he wanted the princess to go to the palace to see Noble Consort Lin and apologize.”

Lan Qingqian had already woken up and sat by the table in a daze. Gu Jun’an drank tea and asked, “I heard you beat Noble Consort Lin this morning?”

“Yes! She scolded me first! She even hit me with the pillow! I just pushed her lightly!” She sounded like she was wronged. Was it really her fault that she was soft like tofu?

Gu Jun’an looked at Xiao Fuzi. “Did you hear that? Just tell His Majesty the truth!”

“What?” Xiao Fuzi was stunned. What did that mean?

Gu Jun’an said, “Didn’t you hear what the princess said? She only pushed Princess Lin lightly. His Majesty also said that the princess is young and Princess Lin is not a tender tofu. She is so weak. Princess Lin must have wanted to blackmail the Imperial Residence. You should go and report to His Majesty that the Seven Duke Palaces have remembered the debt of blackmailing. He will definitely come to the Imperial Palace to settle it!”

Xiao Fuzi was stunned when he heard Gu Jun’an’s words.

The Emperor wanted to let it go after hearing that. He couldn’t really do anything to the Ninth Princess. He still had to give Canglan enough face.

However, when Princess Lin heard that, she couldn’t care about anything else. She dragged her sick body and went. She knelt on the ground and cried, “I was beaten like this. His Majesty has to help me.”

“Can’t you get down to the ground now?” The Emperor was a little helpless.

Princess Lin held her stomach. “I was injured internally. The doctor said that I will need to drink medicine for a long time.”

The Empress was sitting next to her. She was eating fruits slowly. She was unhappy when she saw Princess Lin’s pretentious look. She made a few words and glared at Princess Lin. She scolded in her heart, “What a fox. Who are you pretending to be? How can you cry and howl when you are injured like this?”

“Your Highness, I was sent flying by the Ninth Princess. My maidservants saw it clearly.” Consort Lin said.

“Oh, is that so? San Qi, did you ask who saw the princess send Consort Lin flying?” Gu Jun’an walked in slowly and asked San Qi.

San Qi shook his head. “Your Highness, Prince, I asked carefully. The people in the palace said they were blind and didn’t see it. Maybe it was because Consort Lin was blown away by the wind. They said she was weak and fragile. I don’t know why, but she became injured in the palace.”

“It was your people who protected the murderer. My two maidservants can testify.”

Gu Jun’an smiled. “Your Highness, the maidservants of Consort Lin might not have protected her. I think Consort Lin has always been targeting me. That’s why she played such a trick to blackmail me. She wanted to get some compensation from me.”

“Prince, how can you lie?” Consort Lin was so angry that her face turned blue and red. She trembled.
