Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 129: Sister-Brother Game
Royal study room.
Princess Fu'an's bloody arm irritated Emperor Yingtian's eyes. He turned to look at Princess Roujia and asked sternly, "Roujia, did you do this?"
Princess Roujia's face turned pale. She fell to her knees with a plop and stammered, "No, it wasn't me."
She turned her head to look at Princess Fu'an's arm, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted loudly: "Your wound is fake! Normally, when I whip people, at most it leaves a red blood mark. How could I hit you with the same force and leave such a wound... Woo..."
The eldest princess's head pounded, and she knelt hastily on the ground, stretched out her hands and forcefully covered Princess Roujia's mouth. Princess Fu'an, no matter how unfavored she was, was still the emperor's flesh and blood, but being whipped by a princess was a slap in the face of the emperor.
There was a chilling look in Emperor Yingtian's eyes. Roujia had indeed beaten Fuan!
The eldest princess put on a smile and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, what happened today was just a play between two children. Roujia hit Fuan, and Fuan injured his arm, but Fuan also pushed Roujia, and Roujia also broke her forehead. Both children were injured, so why not let this matter go?"
Princess Fu'an blinked her red eyes and asked in surprise, "Aunt, Roujia told you that it was Fu'an who pushed her?"
"It was clearly her who whipped Fuan, lost her balance, and fell and hit the railing. Her injuries have nothing to do with Fuan. Fuan is willing to swear to heaven!"
Emperor Yingtian's face turned pale. Before Fu'an came, the eldest sister actually cried and complained about how domineering Fu'an was. If he believed the eldest sister's one-sided words, wouldn't Fu'an feel wronged, just like the fourth brother!
The more Emperor Yingtian thought about it, the angrier he became. He waved his hand and called over a shadow guard, signaling him to go and investigate quickly.
Just at this moment, all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau came to the outside of the imperial study.
Emperor Yingtian summoned the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Dou, to come and see him. When Doctor Dou saw that Princess Fu'an and Princess Roujia had both suffered external injuries, he quickly summoned several doctors who were good at external injuries to come in and see them.
The imperial doctors examined Princess Fu'an's arm and couldn't help shaking their heads.
Princess Roujia saw the doctors' reactions and thought they had discovered the secret of Princess Fu'an's wound. She was secretly excited and couldn't help asking, "Doctor, is Fu'an's wound fake?"
The imperial doctors all looked at Princess Roujia in confusion, and one of them bowed and asked, "Why do you say that, Princess?"
Princess Roujia curled her lips slightly and said firmly, "You must have discovered that Fu'an's wound was fake, otherwise why would you shake your head? The emperor and my mother are here, you can speak without worry."
The imperial physician quickly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We shake our heads because we feel the person who attacked us was too cruel. The wound is so deep that you can see the bone. I'm afraid it will leave a scar. There's nothing we can do."
Princess Roujia was stunned, her mind racing. Could it be that Fu'an had deepened the wound to frame her? She couldn't help but ask, "Are the doctors certain that this was a whip wound, and not a wound caused by a weapon like a dagger?"
The imperial physician quickly shook his head. He didn't know why Princess Roujia asked this question, so he replied respectfully, "Princess, this wound was not caused by a dagger. It was indeed a whip wound."
Princess Roujia frowned and asked doubtfully, "But..."
"Enough!" Emperor Yingtian shouted sternly. He didn't want to listen to Roujia throwing dirty water on Fu'an anymore.
For a moment, the room was so quiet you could hear a pinprick of air. The eldest princess frantically pondered how to escape unscathed. Emperor Yingtian rubbed his aching head and closed his eyes slightly. The imperial physicians quickly tended to the wounds of Princess Fu'an and Commandery Roujia.
Less than half an incense stick of time later, the shadow guard quickly returned to report. He knelt on one knee and spoke in a cold and calm voice, "Your Majesty, upon investigation, we found that when Princess Roujia broke into the Princess's residence without permission today, Princess Fu'an was entertaining guests in the garden pavilion."
"Princess Roujia was harassing Princess Fu'an's guest, demanding they kneel. Princess Fu'an retaliated by demanding Princess Roujia kneel down and pay her respects. Furious, Princess Roujia whipped Princess Fu'an, but she used too much force, lost her balance, and fell, hitting the railing."
"Princess Fu'an ordered the arrest of Princess Roujia. Princess Roujia whipped the guards away and fled the palace with her maid."
"The above is what happened. The maids and guards of the Princess's residence, as well as Princess Roujia's maids, and dozens of others witnessed it with their own eyes. All of them can be summoned for confrontation. Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Emperor Yingtian waved his hand, and the shadow guards flashed out. He slammed the dragon table hard and said in a stern voice: "Roujia, do you admit your guilt?"
Princess Roujia was trembling all over. Her uncle, the emperor, had never spoken to her so harshly before. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
The eldest princess leaned forward and pleaded, "Royal brother, Roujia has admitted her mistake! I beg you to forgive Roujia this time. I was nearly thirty when I had this child, so it's inevitable that I've spoiled her a little. It was my fault. I will definitely discipline her in the future and won't let her do it again."
The eldest princess played the family card, but Emperor Yingtian's face remained sullen and he remained unmoved. He looked at Princess Roujia with eyes as cold as frost, which made people shudder.
Seeing that her emotional appeal didn't work, the princess's eyes dimmed, and she was extremely unhappy, but her voice remained gentle: "Royal brother, I know Fu'an has suffered. I am willing to compensate her with Wangyue Villa. From now on, I will treat Fu'an as my own daughter and will not let her suffer any grievances."
Moon-Watching Villa was a private property purchased by the eldest princess on the outskirts of the city. It was extremely magnificent. The anger on Emperor Yingtian's face subsided slightly, but he still didn't speak.
The princess was so angry that her teeth itched. She bit her lip and said in a deep voice: "Royal brother, as long as you are willing to forgive Roujia this time, if Fu'an needs to marry far away in the future, Roujia is willing to marry in her place!"
The eldest princess really had no other bargaining chips to offer. In order to avoid this disaster, she could only try her luck with this vague promise. At that time, she would definitely not let such a thing happen.
"Mother, no!" Princess Roujia exclaimed. The only person she wanted to marry was her cousin, the Crown Prince. She wanted to be the queen who would rule the country. How could she possibly marry far away in a foreign country?
Emperor Yingtian's expression finally softened, and a smile even appeared on his lips. He said calmly, "Okay, it's a deal! My sister, remember what I said today. I will let Roujia go this time. You may withdraw!"
The eldest princess pulled Princess Roujia to kneel down to thank the emperor for his grace. She walked out slowly with heavy steps, as if she was dragging a heavy burden forward.
Her face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm, dark and depressing. In the emperor's mind, her weight was becoming less and less, damn it!
Princess Roujia tugged at the eldest princess's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, why did you give up Wangyue Villa? Jia'er loves it the most! And why did you promise to marry in her place?"
The eldest princess's eyes were extremely dark, and she said in a deep voice, "Mother is reluctant, but if we don't do this, the emperor might revoke Jia'er's title of princess and demote her to a commoner like the Marquis of Guangping. Are you willing?"
Princess Roujia quickly shook her head. Her status as a princess was her greatest asset, the source of her arrogance. She couldn't imagine how she would survive being demoted to a commoner...
