The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess
Chapter 36 Wait
The next day, the eunuch who announced the imperial edict came to the Mu Mansion again. He was a close confidant of the emperor and, relying on the emperor's power, he did not take the people of the Mu Mansion seriously at all.
Although Jiang was the niece of the empress dowager, she did not dare to offend the emperor easily. She prepared tea and respectfully presented it to the eunuch who was announcing the decree.
The eunuch who announced the decree looked at Jiang coldly and asked expressionlessly, "Where is the Fifth Miss? The decree was announced to the Fifth Miss!"
Hearing this, Jiang's heart sank. She hurriedly went over with a smile and said, "Little girl, you've been a little sleepy!" Then she turned her face and ordered Wang Madam beside her, "Why don't you go and invite our Fifth Young Lady over!"
After hearing the instructions, Mother Wang immediately went to call Mu Lanfeng.
"Stop!" Before Madam Wang even stepped out of the door, she was stopped by the eunuch who announced the imperial edict. He coughed a little and continued, "If you want to sleep in, then so be it! It's normal. We have plenty of time at home. Let Fifth Miss sleep a little longer!"
Mother Wang's feet were frozen there, she was in a dilemma.
"How can I have the nerve to make you wait, father-in-law?" Jiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and had to force a smile.
"Ahem." The eunuch who announced the decree coughed twice and said unhappily, "Is it possible that what we said doesn't work? His Royal Highness Prince Yan said that the Fifth Miss should sleep until she wakes up naturally. Don't wake her up!"
There was silence, no one dared to speak. Even if the person was a eunuch, he was someone close to the emperor. Who would dare to offend him?
"This?" Mother Wang looked at Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang shook her head slightly, signaling to Mother Wang not to go. Mother Wang carefully retracted her feet and stood behind Mrs. Jiang again.
Jiang had cursed Mu Lanfeng a thousand times in her heart. If it weren't for her, how could she be here with this eunuch and endure such a humiliating situation.
The more anxious she was, the longer it seemed like Mu Lanfeng was waiting for her. It was as if he was deliberately going against her. In the past, Mu Lanfeng would have already appeared in front of her.
The eunuch who was to announce the decree was waiting, so Jiang had no choice but to accompany them. The servants were also waiting, and no one dared to go out.
The tea was empty and he refilled it several times, but there was still no sign of Mu Lanfeng.
Jiang smiled awkwardly until her face was almost stiff. The eunuch who announced the decree ignored her and dozed off.
Seeing that the eunuch who announced the decree had fallen asleep, Jiang immediately waved her hand and instructed the maid beside her to call Mu Lanfeng over.
Unexpectedly, before the little maid even stepped out of the door, the eunuch who announced the decree immediately called her: "Stop! What are you going to do?"
The little maidservant shuddered and retreated tremblingly. She knelt down in front of the eunuch who announced the decree and said with a sad face: "Eunuch, it's my husband..."
Before the maid could finish her words, Jiang immediately stopped her and said, "That girl saw that the eunuch was tired of waiting, so she was going to call Lan Feng. She also understood that the eunuch was tired!"
"Is that so?" the eunuch who announced the decree asked, staring at the little maid.
The sharp eyes and the half-smiling face make people feel scared.
The little maid looked up at the eunuch who announced the decree, then immediately lowered her head, her whole body almost trembling, and replied hesitantly with tears in her voice: "Yes... Madam... You are right!"
The eunuch who announced the decree laughed grimly and said, "It seems that the servants in Prime Minister Mu's residence don't know what the rules are, and they dare to act on their own!"
Jiang originally wanted to pass the blame to the servants, but the person in front of her was not so easy to fool. He had no intention of giving her any face, and she ended up being accused of not disciplining her servants well.
"Please forgive me, eunuch. I know I was wrong and I will never do it again!" The little maid trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowing continuously.
She was almost crying and her forehead was covered with a large red spot.
"What do you want from us?" the eunuch who announced the decree glanced at him impatiently.
"Come here, drag him away and give him twenty lashes of the cane to serve as a warning to others!" Jiang had no choice but to use the little maid as an example.
"No, madam, please spare me. I will never dare to do it again. Madam, please spare me!" The little maid was dragged out.
The screams coming from outside the house made the people inside panic. The house was so terribly quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Soon the screams stopped and only the sound of the board falling was heard.
"Madam, the person has fainted!" someone outside came in to report.
"Forget it~" Without waiting for Jiang to speak, the eunuch who announced the decree waved his hand and told them to stop fighting.
"My lord, I am an ignorant servant. I hope you don't take it to heart!" Jiang said indifferently.
"Just wait! If anyone disobeys again, don't blame us for being rude. You all know the temper of His Royal Highness Prince Yan!" The eunuch who announced the decree invited Li Zeqi out again.
"Yes, yes, what you said is right, sir!" Jiang smiled apologetically and refilled the tea for the eunuch who announced the decree.
The eunuch who announced the decree fell asleep again, and this time he dared not move.
Jiang was feeling angry but she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only wait and watch.
It was almost noon when someone from the palace came to find the eunuch who announced the decree. He was awakened from his sleep. The person only whispered a few words in his ear, and the eunuch who announced the decree stood up in a panic and said, "That's it for today. I'll come again tomorrow. If I knew that someone had embarrassed the fifth lady..."
After saying that, he stood up and left the Mu Mansion with the people who came to see him.
Jiang smiled apologetically and walked him to the door. Only when she saw the eunuch announcing the decree walking away did her tense nerves relax.
A eunuch dared to be so arrogant in front of her. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager in the palace who warned her not to offend the Emperor, she would have turned against him long ago.
"Madam, do you want to call the fifth lady over?" Mother Wang asked in a low voice behind her.
"Why are you calling her? Is it necessary to call her over now?" Jiang rolled her eyes at her and asked back.
"What should we do if the father-in-law comes again tomorrow?" Mother Wang asked.
"Just wait!" Jiang looked in the direction of Ziyunxuan with a vicious look in her eyes.
Mother Wang didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.
