Chapter 383 From Princess to County Princess
Two thin coffins were sent to a mass grave for burial.
Not long after it was buried, the Black Kylin Guards secretly dug it up. After a quick inspection of the body, they buried it back.
Soon, Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang learned the news.
The two were not surprised by this.
If something like that happened, Princess Anle would never let them live.
Emperor Taihe simply asked, "How did the person die?"
Wang Zhi reported in a low voice: "There are no new wounds on the body, but there are traces of blood in the mouth, and he has been dressed up. It is likely suicide."
Emperor Taihe's face showed no emotion: "They are quite straightforward."
Wang Zhi whispered again, "Princess Anle seemed very angry and told others that the two were killed by a venomous snake.
It was heard that the female guard of the Medicine God had stabbed one of Princess Anle's guards. Princess Anle was so angry that she ordered the guards of the palace to arrest the person, but those people did not dare to take action.
Princess Anle was furious and punished a guard named Wang Kui by having him whipped a hundred times.
Emperor Taihe's face darkened with dissatisfaction: "This Anle is really too ridiculous! Someone come!"
He recalled what happened last night and couldn't help but feel more disgusted with Princess Anle.
So he asked someone to draft an imperial decree to demote Princess Anle to the rank of County Princess, and even changed her title to An Ning!
Emperor Taihe also specially arranged for Wang Zhi to convey the imperial edict.
Although Princess Anle was injured, she still had to dress up and kneel down to listen to the angel's announcement in order to receive the imperial edict.
By the time Wang Zhixuan finished reading the decree, she was already pale with pain and covered in cold sweat.
Wang Zhi, however, pretended not to notice anything and said with a smile, "County Lady An Ning, why don't you accept the decree and thank the Lord for His grace?"
Princess An Ning pinched her palm so hard that even her nails broke, but she didn't feel a bit.
She was trying her best to suppress the hatred that was surging in her heart!
Emperor Taihe actually demoted her to a county lady and deliberately changed her title!
How could he do this to her!
Princess An Ning!
what!
This title is clearly a warning to her!
That dead girl from the Xie family was given the title of Princess of Fu'an County, and she, a daughter of a noble family, actually became Princess of Anning County!
What absurdity!
Why doesn’t my father rebel and seize the throne from this damn emperor?
When the time comes, she will make this man kneel before her and serve her like a dog!
Princess An Ning suppressed the hatred in her heart, raised her hands to receive the imperial edict, and kowtowed obediently in the direction of the imperial palace.
It was not until Wang Zhi and his entourage left Prince Zhou's Palace that she threw the imperial edict heavily to the ground. Her already swollen face instantly became extremely hideous!
But this time, she didn't dare to let herself scream.
Suddenly, Liu Yu stood up, walked to the side of Princess An Ning, and helped her up from the ground.
He comforted her with a distressed look on his face: "Princess, don't take it to heart. When you return to your fiefdom, you will still be the precious and respected Princess."
Unexpectedly, Princess An Ning suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard!
"Snapped!"
Liu Yu covered his face in shock and looked at Princess An Ning in disbelief.
Princess An Ning looked at her with cold eyes: "His Majesty has issued an order to demote me to Princess An Ning, are you trying to disobey the order?
From now on, I am the Princess of Anning County! Remember this... Princess of Anning County. If anyone dares to call me that wrong again, don't blame me for being rude!
She glanced coldly at everyone, and seeing that everyone had taken note, she let Fang Shuo carry her back to the room.
When she left, she didn't even look at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu noticed this detail and involuntarily clenched his left fist, then lowered his eyes and looked at his bandaged right wrist.
The doctor has examined him and found that his tendons were severed and his arm was completely disabled.
He could clearly feel that the princess's attitude towards him had completely changed since then.
Liu Yu raised the corner of his mouth in self-mockery. He really had overestimated his position in the heart of the princess... no, in the heart of Princess An Ning.
It turns out that the so-called pampering is nothing but a mirage.
When women become ruthless, they are just like men.
He was too naive. He became complacent for a little favor and became ignorant of his own limitations.
He became a disabled person because of such a heartless woman.
Liu Yu curled his lips and glanced at the other guards.
Most of these people looked at him with a look of gloating in their eyes, which did not surprise Liu Yu.
In the past, when these people were jealous of him, he couldn't help but feel complacent.
Now I just feel it is meaningless.
So he said nothing and just turned and left.
On the other side, after Fang Shuo put Princess An Ning back on the bed, he considerately covered her with a quilt and wanted to stay with her.
Unexpectedly, the An Ning County Lady immediately drove him away: "You can leave now. We don't need you to serve here."
Fang Shuo felt a little disappointed, but when he glanced at the swollen and twisted face of An Ning County Master, he suddenly felt that it would be better to leave.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would accidentally show his disdain and cause the county lady to dislike him.
So he said a few considerate words of comfort, and then she left obediently.
After he left, Princess An Ning immediately revealed a look of disgust on her face: "Waste!"
I don’t know whether he was talking about Fang Shuo or Liu Yu.
Zi Yi stood respectfully aside without saying a word.
The Princess of Anning suddenly asked, "Ziyi, how long do you think it will take for my brother to arrive?"
Zi Yi said calmly, "If the prince knew that the county lady was in trouble, he would definitely rush to the capital as soon as possible. Calculating the date, it would not be later than the day after tomorrow."
The An Ning County Lady then smiled with satisfaction: "You are right, my brother will definitely come as soon as possible.
The Lin Xiao beside him is the real master, and he's also very good-looking. I'm in need of someone like him!"
Zi Yi didn't respond.
Lin Xiao is the prince's capable man. Because he is too powerful, even the prince dare not touch him. How could he give him to the county lord?
However, these words were not something a servant like her could say.
The county lady didn't need her reminder.
Why did she say such unpleasant words and make the county lady angry for no reason?
Wait until the prince arrives, he will take care of these things.
Time unknowingly came to night.
Several dark shadows quietly came to the mass grave and dug out two bodies that had been buried during the day.
Late at night, in an ordinary room, Cuiwei's eyelids suddenly began to tremble violently, and then she suddenly opened her eyes!
"what--"
She let out a long breath and looked around in disbelief.
What is this place?
Why is she here?
wrong!
Isn't she dead?
Why can I wake up?
"you're awake?"
Suddenly, someone spoke in the darkness. It was a man's voice.
Cuiwei immediately became nervous. She tried to look around and finally saw a dark shadow.
The other person was wearing a cloak and standing in a dark corner, so his appearance and specific figure could not be seen at all.
Cuiwei could only ask tentatively: "You... who are you? Why am I here?"
The man said calmly, "I dug you out of the mass grave. Now you have two choices. Either I bury you back, or you work for me."
Cuiwei's heart tightened. After hesitating for a moment, she asked cautiously, "You...what do you want me to do for you? I...I'm just a servant. I can't do anything..."
"Someone will teach you what to do in the future. You just need to be obedient and you will be able to live well."
On the other side, someone said the same thing to Cui Yan.
