The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The commotion in front of the Yangxin Palace soon reached Xuanyuan Li's ears. Accompanied by a crisp curse, he finally put down the memorial and walked out.

"Damn it, if I had known this would happen I wouldn't have come." The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Hu Luanfei couldn't help but point the finger at Xuanyuan Li. "Damn it, why do you have to ask people to go out when it's raining? Hurry up and get some people over here to hold me down. Be careful, or I'm afraid I won't be able to go home now!"

How could the palace maids be careless? They tried their best to keep this person stable. In Beiqiu, everyone knew Princess Zhan. If anything happened to this person, they would all be in trouble.

As the old saying goes, too many heads make a mess.

Huang Guiquan saw that I had nothing else to say, so he said, "Madam Wanpin, if there is nothing else, I will leave now. I wish you good health."

Seeing a group of people rushing over, Qi Siliao frowned and hugged Hu Luanfei tightly. With a tiptoe, the two of them quickly flew to the corridor in front of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"I will be the one to speak such careless and impetuous words from now on."

The palace servants opened the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and Xuanyuan Li walked out.

The two of them stood in front of the door, all wet, and were about to say goodbye just as they arrived.

Xuanyuan Li, who was already in a bad mood because of the Third Prince's affairs, looked even uglier at this moment, which made people feel a little chilly in their hearts.

"Someone, go get two sets of clothes for Prince Zhan and his wife. Let them go to the side hall to change, and then come back to see me."

Two palace maids hurried away from the door.

During this time, Hu Luanfei sneezed in front of the emperor, and Qi Siliao hurriedly carried her into the side hall to warm herself by the fire.

Soon the palace maid came over with clean clothes. The two changed clothes very quickly, so Xuanyuan Li didn't have to wait too long.

Several braziers were added to the Yangxin Palace, and Xuanyuan Li threw the evidence of the affair between Concubine Shu and General Zhenbei into the brazier in front of Hu Luanfei, and it burned to ashes in an instant.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell, and Hu Luanfei couldn't help but vomit twice. She didn't know whether it was the dry retching caused by morning sickness or because she felt sick because Xuanyuan Li was shielding Nalan Jin, but she felt very uncomfortable anyway.

"The Third Prince has detained my people. Have you asked him to release them?"

"I asked you to come here to discuss this matter." Xuanyuan Li once again looked at her with a guilty look, "Some situations are unexpected, you... need to be prepared."

Seeing him lower his eyes guiltily, Hu Luanfei's heart began to beat fast.

Xuanyuan Li did not say it directly, but played the family card, "Ze'er is about the same age as you. If you count with your fingers, he is about two months older than you, and he is also your biological brother..."

"Just tell me what happened to the two people who were imprisoned. I don't want to hear anything else. And don't try to get close to me or talk about family affection. I'm just a commoner and can't afford to be close to your royal family."

The rain that had been raging for most of the day was now calming down. The sky and the earth began to become brighter, and the dripping water from the eaves near and far had also slowed down a lot.

After changing into Beiqiu's attire that was only worn by princesses of the royal family, Xuanyuan Li seemed to see Hu Cuiwei, who always liked to stick her neck out to him and threaten to leave, in Hu Luanfei's stubborn look.

His heart trembled slightly and his eyes were inexplicably wet.

Hu Luanfei ignored the change in his expression and immediately threatened, "I don't care what happened to the two of them. Blood debt must be repaid with blood. You'd better ensure their safety. Otherwise, whatever happens to them, you will be the culprit."

"If your brother cut off a few fingers of that man, would you dare to ask for a few fingers of your brother for them?"

"Look down at your hands and see how many fingers you have. Are they enough for others to chop off?" Hu Luanfei took a few quick steps and said, "I think it is reasonable to give someone a taste of their own medicine."

"He's your brother!"

"Oh. That's even better. Since my brother is so cruel, as his sister, I should worship him, become him, and surpass him. I will repay him by cutting off as many fingers as he cut off of mine."

Seeing that Hu Luanfei was unreasonable, Xuanyuan Li's patience ran out. "Don't act recklessly just because I love your mother. Hu Luanfei, I am the emperor, and my words are the will of heaven. If you are unteachable, don't blame me for being merciless if I take ruthless action."

This was the first time that Xuanyuan Li spoke to Hu Luanfei in such a decisive and murderous manner and tone. Even though she grew up in an era of gender equality, she could not withstand the majesty of the man in front of her.

A drop of cold sweat slowly fell from her temple. She seemed to be controlled by a powerful force. She dared not move, dared not speak, and even her breathing was about to stop.

"Favor is something you have to earn yourself. Your Majesty, I was born in an imperial family. I know there is a saying that goes like this: The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that the person who broke the law is your child."

"You mean to be my enemy?"

"It would be great if we could live in peace, but if not, I am not someone you can mess with."

Xuanyuan Li laughed secretly: "You are only a few years old and you dare to challenge me."

Qi Siliao stopped arguing and quietly pulled Hu Luanfei behind him. "No matter how old I am, I will always stand on Hu Luanfei's side. Her opinion is my opinion."

The pressure that erupted between the two made the others dare not move.

Xuanyuan Li didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and a mocking smile crossed his lips. "Do you think you can make trouble on my territory? If I don't agree, how can you have the qualifications to run wild on my territory. Believe it or not, as long as I give the order, all your previous efforts will be in vain."

Qi Siliao suddenly felt his hand being tightly grasped by someone behind him, and Hu Luanfei was scared.

Xuanyuan Li picked up a cup of tea, and gently scratched the tea leaves on the surface of the tea with the cup lid. He didn't drink it, but had a contemptuous smile on his face, "You'd better consider your own weight and whether you are qualified to challenge me. You are trying to hit a rock with an egg... I will return it to you intact on behalf of the Third Prince."

Even though Xuanyuan Li's voice was so kind, it couldn't conceal the contempt and sarcasm in his words.

Hu Luanfei suddenly became deeply aware of his own insignificance, and slowly, his shoulders slumped.

After coming out of the Yangxin Palace, the two were silent.

The rain stopped, but Hu Luanfei felt very cold in her heart, as it was raining heavily.

Qi Siliao felt a pang of guilt and held Hu Luanfei's hand tightly, his eyes revealing a rare desire for power.

"Your Majesty, our journey seemed so smooth that I thought I was strong enough to challenge anyone. It was only when others gave me a blow that I realized that I became successful and famous because of their tolerance."

"If I had known that power could oppress people, I should have worked hard to gain it myself." A cold smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

Hu Luanfei wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. "It's also my fault that I am a woman. I just want to live a peaceful and healthy life."

Qi Si Liao pursed his lips and said, "What if this king..."

"Do you really want to?" Hu Luanfei looked back and asked innocently with a pair of big eyes filled with mist.

Qi Si Liao looked at her with complicated eyes, "I really want Xuanyuan Yuchuan to become the king of Beiqiu as soon as possible."
