Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Seeing this, Chu Qianyu quickly asked Huilan to take Yunying out first, and then she quickly walked to Concubine De, helped her up and walked out. The old princess had followed the old regent to fight outside before, and her physical fitness was quite good. When she found something wrong, she quickly pulled Mo Qingzi out.

At this time, everyone ran outside.

Concubine Yi was so frightened that she almost fainted. The servants quickly put out the flames on her clothes. At this moment, she looked extremely embarrassed.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, even burning the screen in the middle.

Chu Qianyu was a little surprised when she saw the scene. She never expected the fire to be so fierce.

The emperor and officials on the other side noticed something was wrong and the fire had already spread over. Everyone suddenly panicked. Some older ministers were so scared that they fell to the ground, their legs and feet so weak that they could hardly walk out.

Fortunately, everyone discovered it early and finally escaped safely.

The princess looked at Concubine Yi and said angrily: "What did you just do!"

Concubine Yi's clothes were in disarray and burned in several places. She looked extremely miserable. When she heard the princess' question, she trembled and knelt down limply. She looked aggrieved and sobbed softly, "This...I...I don't know. Just now, my leg seemed to be hit by something. I suddenly felt pain and couldn't stand steadily."

The palace maids and eunuchs also hurried to fetch water to put out the fire, and the scene was in chaos.

The emperor walked up to the princess and asked, "What happened? Why did the fire suddenly break out?"

The princess glared at Concubine Yi who was kneeling beside her, her words full of resentment: "Concubine Yi just fell down and knocked over the candle on the candlestick, which caused the fire. What should we do now? How can we continue this?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Yi and said angrily, "Go back and reflect on yourself first, and don't come out and cause trouble again in the next few days."

"Yes, yes, I will go back and reflect on myself." Concubine Yi quickly got up and walked back. Fortunately, the emperor only asked her to reflect on herself and did not impose any other punishment. She had to leave quickly so that the emperor would not vent his anger on her.

"Are you going to let her go so easily?" The princess said in an unhappy tone as she watched Concubine Yi's receding back.

The emperor did not reply to her words, but said to Concubine De: "It's almost time for today, let everyone go back first."

"Yes." After agreeing, Concubine De sent people to comfort the ladies and young ladies who came today.

The emperor turned around and walked towards the officials. He said to Zhang Fu who was standing beside him, "Give orders. If something unexpected happens, have them all go back first. There is no need to come to pay respects in the next two days. Suspend court for seven days. You can come again after the empress dowager is buried seven days later."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Soon, all the ministers, wives and young ladies began to walk out of the palace.

After Chu Qianyu and the others returned to the General's Mansion, Yunying finally spoke up: "Today was really scary. Why was the fire so strange? It started all of a sudden."

"Maybe the Queen Mother has done too many evil things, and God can't stand seeing so many people praying for her. She can't bear it!" Chu Qianyu said.

Yunying smiled and shook her head without saying anything. Chu Jun looked serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Yunying tugged at his sleeve and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

"Hmm?" Chu Jun was lost in thought when he was suddenly interrupted, causing his brain to go blank for a moment.

Then he reacted and looked at Chu Qianyu, then looked at Yunying's face with some worry and said: "I don't know what happened to the Regent. He didn't even come today for such a big event. I heard from the court that something seemed to have happened to him. A strange woman threw him at the gate of the palace yesterday. I don't know what the situation is. I was thinking about whether I should go to the Regent's Palace to take a look."

"A strange woman?" Yunying said with a frown.

Chu Qianyu looked at the two people with such serious expressions and sighed slightly in her heart. She had made a mistake.

"Father, Mother, don't worry too much. The old princess didn't show any abnormality today, so it must be nothing serious."

-

The old princess and Mo Qingzi went straight to Mo Yinan's yard after returning from the palace.

The old princess ignored the silver feathers and silver blades blocking the door, kicked the door open, and walked in angrily.

It was dark inside, and the whole room was filled with the smell of alcohol. The old princess took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and looked around the room. Only then did she see Mo Yinan lying on the ground with disheveled hair. It had only been a day, but he already had a scruffy beard and looked very slovenly.

The old princess and Mo Qingzi frowned when they saw this.

"Mother, what happened to my brother? What upset him? Why does he look so depressed?"

"God knows what happened to him. Yinling, you two come in!" the old princess shouted outside.

After Yin Ling and the other two came in, they waited for the old princess' instructions.

"Send someone to get some hot water and clean up the mess. The princess might come later, so don't let her see this or else something bad will happen."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Yin Ling agreed and walked out quickly.

The old princess raised her hand to fan away the unpleasant smell, and looked at Mo Yinan lying on the ground with disdain, then walked out and said to the maid outside: "Go and clean up the house."

"Also, no more alcohol is allowed in this room for the next few days. If I find out that the prince is drunk again, I will definitely hold you accountable. If he doesn't listen, bring someone to find me if he drinks again." The old princess said to Yin Ren.

"Yes, my subordinates know."

After the old princess finished giving all these instructions, she took Mo Qingzi and walked towards the front yard. If she guessed correctly, the eldest princess would come here directly after leaving the palace to see if Nan'er was really as she said in the morning.

Sure enough, within an hour the servant came to report that the princess had arrived.

The princess got off the carriage and saw the red wedding character posted on the door of the Regent's Palace. Her originally calm face fell.

Led by the servants, they arrived at the front hall, where the old princess was already waiting.

There weren't as many people in the palace as before, so the princess no longer cared about the others. She sat down with a sullen face and said with a slightly reproachful tone, "The Queen Mother has just passed away, and there are still wedding characters posted on the door of the palace. This is really a bit irritating to me."

After hearing this, the old princess gradually withdrew her smile and snorted, "How come the eldest princess doesn't know that Nan'er will get married in two days? It's because of the Queen Mother's accidental death. We have planned to hold a simple wedding. We haven't even hung up the red lanterns. Why do you find it annoying to put two wedding characters on the door?"

"Now that his aunt has suddenly passed away, he still wants to get married? Can't this marriage be postponed for some time?"

"The marriage has been decided long ago. After all, none of us wants to see this scene. But we have calculated the date before. If it doesn't work out this time, we have to wait a year. Nan'er is not young anymore. If his aunt really loves him, she will not care about these things." The old princess had no intention of backing down.

She always believed that if someone respected her, she would respect them. Now that the eldest princess was obviously trying to find fault with her, she didn't have to endure it.
