Chapter 91: The Master Humiliates the Servant and Dies
The eldest princess had lost her right-hand man, Xin Niang, and had a falling out with Yao Niang. She had originally thought that she would not be able to gain a foothold in the Imperial Cavalry Division, and even if she acknowledged his son, the Emperor of Southern Qi would not tolerate her taking the royal family to Nanyue secretly. She was either sentenced to death or committed suicide to dispel the emperor's doubts. However, after waiting for a long time, she received a secret report from Hong Xiang, saying that the Emperor of Southern Qi had ordered her to go to Zhulin Temple to protect the concubine. She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot, and she smashed several ornaments in the palace before she temporarily suppressed her anger.
She panted and asked, "Now that Yao Niang has left, you should take over and be the one in charge, right?"
She investigated Xin Niang's affairs over and over again, and the Second Prince kept his promise and tried to find a way to send her away, but someone leaked the news and they were caught red-handed.
She vaguely found some uncertain news, which seemed to have come from the Forbidden Cavalry Department.
The people from the Forbidden Cavalry Division were elusive, so it was no surprise that they were able to find out about the Second Prince's arrangements. The Grand Princess did not suspect the Second Prince and Hongxiang, but felt that this nephew was sincere in treating her, but the people at hand were inevitably a little incompetent. The prince's guards were no match for the trained personnel from the Forbidden Cavalry Division, so it was still a step short for them to specialize in investigations.
Hong Xiang's eyes were filled with endless resentment: "I am incompetent, so His Majesty promoted Tang Ying to replace Aunt Yao as the head."
The eldest princess' voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "It's this girl again!"
Hongxiang hoped that the Grand Princess would hate Tang Ying even more. Since everyone was on the same front, she could better cling to the Grand Princess and find an opportunity to pull Tang Ying down. She then exaggerated and said many bad things about Tang Ying, such as "She is so arrogant after getting the position of the leader that she doesn't even take her subordinates seriously. She joined the Imperial Cavalry Division later than me, and now she starts ordering people around..." and "My subordinates heard her say that she would teach the Grand Princess a lesson, saying that the master had already retired from the Imperial Cavalry Division, but still thought he was in charge of it." These words hit directly at the Grand Princess' heart, and Yuan Heng was furious after hearing them. He wished he could tear Tang Ying's mouth apart.
"Haha, this princess didn't settle the score with her, but she is thinking about this princess!" Yuan Heng sneered several times.
In fact, what she said was wrong. If we really want to talk about the ill-fated relationship between Tang Ying and the Grand Princess in detail, it was Huan Yanbo who started it. He beat the Fourth Prince Yuan Jian in the alley and was rescued by Tang Ying who was passing by. Tang Ying couldn't stand his domineering behavior and stood up to testify in the Golden Palace. Since then, she has been hated by the Grand Princess.
The eldest princess did not express her hatred by stabbing villains or cursing behind her back, but instead sent people directly to kill Tang Ying. Unexpectedly, she met someone who stabbed her, and many guards were killed by Tang Ying, so the hatred became deeper and deeper.
In addition to the death of Xin Niang this time, the Grand Princess put all the new and old grudges on Tang Ying. It was all her fault anyway!
If she didn't stand up for Yuan Jian, wouldn't she have nothing to do with it?
Everything that happened later was the result of her ignoring the Grand Princess's authority and daring to resist.
The eldest princess had a smooth life for most of her life. Even important officials in the court were courteous to her, and the Emperor of Southern Qi was even more polite to her. But then she met a troublesome girl like Tang Ying. She hated her to the extreme and suspected that this girl was her nemesis.
Xin Niang was taken away for interrogation. With her loyalty, she would certainly not reveal who she was behind the scenes. Yuan Heng was not worried about this, but now the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Even Yun Niang's comfort was useless. She felt so angry that she wished Tang Ying would die in front of her right away.
"Go find Wang Xian."
When Yunniang heard this, she secretly thought that it was not good, fearing that the eldest princess would do something stupid. If something happened to the little girl named Tang now, the emperor would probably suspect the eldest princess first.
"Master, this is not good, right? We should slowly find an opportunity to discipline this girl later. We will never let her have a good life. Xin Niang hasn't come out yet."
The eldest princess exhaled a breath of foul air: "Xin Niang can't get out. But we can't let this girl get away with it, we have to teach her a lesson!"
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Yunniang had no choice but to send a little maid to call Wang Xian.
Wang Xian is the chief guard in the princess's mansion. He is responsible for the safety of the mansion. He is deeply trusted by the Grand Princess and is very loyal to her.
"Princess, is there something that I need?"
"Do you know the girl named Tang?"
Wang Xian had also heard rumors these days and was a little hesitant: "Is she the former Zhang Er, the girl who disguised herself as a beggar and killed the guards in the mansion? I heard that she is Tang Yao's daughter, but is it true?"
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, revealing a bit of anger: "It's that girl. Don't send a useless person this time. Go and teach her a lesson in person on my behalf, and don't let her catch anything."
Wang Xian: "I obey your command."
He left Chuihong Palace, and Yunniang chased after him: "Guard Captain Wang, please stay."
"Aunt Yun , do you have anything else to say? Or...does the Grand Princess have any other instructions?"
Yunniang was full of worry: "The girl from the Tang family is quite skilled. She has repeatedly angered her master and smashed things. You have to be careful!"
Wang Xian was a military man, accustomed to following orders, with a single-minded mind and no tricks: "Don't worry, I will make the Grand Princess happy." He was a servant in the Grand Princess's mansion. If the master humiliates the servant, the servant will die. If he dared to make the Grand Princess so angry that she couldn't suppress her anger and killed so many of his brothers, she would never be able to leave the hunting palace alive.
Yunniang: "Let her learn a lesson." But please don't let anyone get killed.
Wang Xian: “Definitely!” I must teach her a lesson, and she will never forget it even when she closes her eyes.
He strode away, but Yunniang felt a little uneasy. She always felt that Wang Xian agreed too readily. Did he understand her instructions?
※※※
We will be returning to the capital tomorrow. The Emperor of Southern Qi had announced at the dinner yesterday that there was no need for the ministers and princes to accompany him today. He wanted to relax and let the ministers stay with their families.
Fu Chen did not have to take turns on duty today, so he and Tang Ying rode into the hunting ground on horseback. They first met Shen Qian and Zhao Ji, the prince of Nanyue.
It was rare for Shen Qian to see Fu Chen taking a girl out for a walk. He caught a glimpse of the white face under the hood of the cloak and shamelessly wanted to follow and play with him: "Achen, wait for me. It just so happens that Prince Zhao and I are also bored. Why don't we play together?"
Tang Ying thought: Prince Zhao's future Crown Princess has just smashed Lord Fu's tent, and these two are also rivals in love. I wonder how Prince Zhao will feel when he finds out that the Ninth Princess is infatuated with Fu Chen, so he will be reluctant for them to be together.
"Sir, Lord Shen is unreliable, so you should not go with them, right?"
Fu Chen didn't know that Tang Ying was helping him avoid meeting his love rival so that he wouldn't be embarrassed if he knew the past between the Ninth Princess and him. He thought Tang Ying just wanted to be alone with him, and he was immediately overjoyed. He rejected Lord Shen very straightforwardly: "Lord Shen, your riding and archery skills are terrible. I'm afraid you'll be lost if we enter the forest. You should just go for a horse ride with Prince Zhao on the meadow outside."
Shen Qian was so angry that he kept yelling: "Fu Chen, don't look down on me!"
Fu Chen: "I just look down on you, what do you think?"
Amid Shen Qian's screams, Fu Chen smiled and rode away on horseback with Tang Ying, followed by Fu Yingjun, whom he envied.
Prince Zhao rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea: "Brother Shen, they don't let us follow them, so why don't we follow them quietly and see what they do?" He was also coveting the BMW behind Fu Chen.
His move was exactly what Shen Qian wanted: "Okay, follow me."
Lord Shen is not like those guys in the Forbidden Cavalry Department. He listens to Fu Chen's words. He rides a BMW. Although it is not as good as Fu Yingjun's, it is also a good horse among ten thousand.
Prince Zhao rode behind him, and while running he asked about Fu Yingjun's origins: "I saw that the horse behind Master Fu is a rare good horse. It doesn't run around even without a saddle or bridle. It's really smart."
Speaking of the Wild Horse King, Lord Shen had a lot to say. He spoke incoherently against the wind, but Prince Zhao still managed to understand most of it.
"The Wild Horse King of Tianshan?" Prince Zhao's eyes were green with envy: "If I can find a mare, I wonder if I can breed with the Wild Horse King?"
Lord Shen laughed: "That depends on your ability!"
