Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

The emperor sat at the top, his eyes as sharp as torches as he slowly swept over the bruised and battered Prince Rong and the eyewitnesses who were present yesterday.

The queen sat beside the emperor. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she stared at Yun Youran, as if she could see through her.

"Miss Yun, I heard that you were extremely brave in the Grand Tutor's Mansion yesterday!

Not only did you throw Yun Jingxue into the lotus pond like a rag, but you also beat Prince Rong so hard that he had no chance to fight back. But why is it so quiet today? Are you feeling guilty?"

There was undisguised sarcasm in the queen's words, and it was obvious that she was extremely dissatisfied with Yun Youran's behavior yesterday.

However, facing the queen's questioning, Yun Youran did not respond. She raised her head and looked directly at the emperor sitting at the top.

The emperor's face was as gloomy as water, showing no trace of emotion.

Seeing this, Yun Youran retracted her gaze slightly, turned to look at Prince Rong, and said slowly: "Please ask Prince Rong, why did I attack you yesterday? Can you explain it to me?"

Prince Rong's face was extremely pale. He glared at Yun Youran fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive right away.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just a kick?"

After getting the answer from King Rong, Yun Youran's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Yes! He kicked the original owner to death with one kick. How ironic.

She then asked, "Before this, have I ever provoked the prince? Yesterday was the first time I met the prince, right? Why do you have such a big prejudice against me? To the point that you kicked me right after you saw me."

Upon hearing this, Prince Rong was suddenly speechless. He opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute.

He had indeed never seen Yun Youran before.

He was too impatient yesterday, and Yun Jingxue often told him that Yun Youran had been bullying and framing her since returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he kicked her without asking any questions in desperation.

Yun Jingxue, who was standing by, was anxious and suddenly interrupted, "Sister, why are you making excuses here? Beating the prince was your fault, so stop quibbling!"

"Ha!" A sneer was a mockery and disdain towards Yun Jingxue.

Yun Youran said: "Yun Jingxue, I'm afraid even the city walls are not as thick-skinned as you!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Yun Jingxue's heart and making her face turn red instantly.

"How dare you say that? After all, the reason why Prince Rong was beaten was all because of you!

If you just admired the flowers and didn't make trouble, none of those things would have happened."

These words were like a heavy hammer. She began to look away, not daring to meet Yun Youran's gaze.

She knew exactly what happened yesterday.

It was indeed she who wanted to push Yun Youran into the lotus pond and embarrass her so that Prince Rong could see her good qualities.

If Yun Youran's reputation were ruined by this, then her marriage into the Governor's Mansion would be a foregone conclusion.

The real daughter of the Yun family is back, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to Yun Jingxue.

She was worried that Prince Rong would dislike her and choose Yun Youran instead.

She was even more worried that the Yun family would be reluctant to let Yun Youran go and would change their minds and marry her to that eunuch.

That's why she came up with such a sinister trick, wanting to strike first and maintain her position in the Yun family and Prince Rong's heart.

A crystal teardrop slowly slid down the corner of Yun Jingxue's eyes, and that teardrop seemed to carry endless grievances and sorrow.

There was a tremor in her voice. "Sister, how can you say that? What do you mean by my sister making trouble? My sister doesn't want to fall into the lotus pond!"

Yun Youran was unmoved and said coldly, "Sister, don't forget that your personal maid has already told you all your motives yesterday. No matter how you try to argue now, it will be useless.

Anyone who was present yesterday and had eyes and ears that were not blind or deaf would have heard what your personal maid Tan Xiang said.

You really don't want to fall into the lotus pond. Your real purpose is to push me into the lotus pond. You want to embarrass me and make King Rong dislike me.

It's just that you lost more than you gained, and instead of standing firmly, you slipped into the lotus pond.

And Prince Rong! As a prince of a country, he came up and kicked me without asking any questions.

I was enjoying the lotus, but not only was I wrongly accused, I also suffered an unexpected disaster."

She looked at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, if you were wronged, what would you do? Would you swallow your anger or fight back if you have the ability?"

The emperor did not speak, but the queen replied sinisterly: "Miss Yun, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. You are indeed from the countryside. This really opens my eyes!"

Yun Youran raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and replied without showing any weakness:

"I am also very surprised. The cause and effect of this matter were clearly explained yesterday. Prince Rong not only did not reflect on his own actions, but also relied on his power and status to pester me endlessly."

She paused, looked at Prince Rong and said, "Since Your Majesty is not willing to give in, you can go find the real culprit! Why do you have to find an innocent person like me?

Your Majesty kicked me, and I kicked you back, so now we are even, right?"

After saying that, Yun Youran gently touched the gauze wrapped around her forehead, as if to remind everyone that she was also seriously injured.

Hearing her say this, a maid beside the queen suddenly sneered and said mockingly:

"Clear all? Prince Rong is a member of the royal family with a distinguished status. How can you, a little girl from the countryside, be compared with Prince Rong?"

Yun Youran showed no sign of weakness, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hit back mercilessly:

"So what if you are of noble status? Does that mean you can bully others and do whatever you want? You even dare to mention someone from the royal family. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your ancestors?"

Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the air. "I grant you a noble status in the hope that you can work for the welfare of the people and uphold justice for them. I don't want you to rely on your power and status to arbitrarily accuse innocent people of crimes!"

Yun Youran's words were as sharp as a knife. She continued, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Your Majesty, you act so indiscriminately. Aren't you afraid of losing your status and power?"

The profound meaning is self-evident.

When the Prime Minister heard this, he turned pale and trembled all over. He immediately knelt on the ground and said in panic:

"Your Majesty, please do not listen to her nonsense! She has just returned to the capital for less than four months and has not yet learned all the etiquette, so she is so outspoken. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor also knew that the whole thing was not entirely Yun Youran's fault, but she did beat Prince Rong. If he wanted to let it go, the queen would probably not agree, and the Zhao family would not agree either.
