Volume 1 Princess Taiping Grows Up Chapter 28: Furious Wu Zetian
After kicking Xiao He to the ground, Helan Minzhi reached out to touch her face again: "Come here, cousin!"
Li Yuechen did not step back, but took a step forward, grabbed his wrist and kicked him out with his leg.
Although Liu Rengui has only taught her some exercises to strengthen her body, Li Yuechen also does other exercises every day, and her flexibility and agility are quite good.
It's so easy to do the splits.
The kick was very high, even higher than Li Yuechen's head.
"oh……"
Helan Minzhi let out a scream and subconsciously jumped nearly one meter high on the spot.
Unfortunately, the cry only lasted for a moment. Although his mouth was still wide open, no sound came out.
He fell to the ground, his hands covering his legs, his mouth wide open but no sound came out, only his body twitching.
Looking at Helan Minzhi on the ground, his eyes rolled back, his saliva flowed, and his body kept twitching.
Li Yuechen looked down at the clogs on his feet and thought to himself, are they ruined now? Serves him right! Damn pervert!
Xiao He beside her struggled to get up and opened her mouth to shout: "Come... woo woo..."
Li Yuechen covered her mouth immediately: "Shut up!"
Xiao He, who had come to her senses, looked at Helan Minzhi who had fallen to the ground. Although she was confused, she struggled to pull Li Yuechen's hand away: "Your Highness..."
"Don't talk, just go out and get on the carriage!" Li Yuechen warned.
It’s not that I want to let Helan Minzhi go, but if the Jinwu Guards rush in and kill people now, the matter can’t be concealed!
For the crime of molesting a princess, it is definitely not enough to kill Helan Minzhi !
Li Yuechen knew very well that with how much Li Zhi doted on her, he would be furious once he found out about this.
I'm afraid that even Xiao He and these Jinwu Guards cannot escape the charge of failing to provide adequate protection!
When the emperor is angry, blood will flow like a river!
By then, it will not be a problem that can be solved by the death of Helan Minzhi.
Li Yuechen has always believed that every wrong has its perpetrator, and she doesn't want to see other people implicated because of a mistake made by Helan Minzhi.
If Li Zhi knew about this, it would not only be a matter of how many people would die, but he himself would even become sick from anger.
So Li Zhi must not be allowed to know about this matter!
Li Yuechen pulled Xiao He up and warned her seriously, "Listen carefully, get in the car directly after you go out, and don't say anything."
Xiao He looked at Helan Minzhi who was still twitching on the ground: "That person..."
"Don't worry about him! I'm a princess. It's not easy for me to kill someone." Li Yuechen pushed her out without saying a word.
Li Yuechen actually thought about using a stone to kill him, but this was her grandmother's residence, so it would be better not to let him die here.
As she walked out, she reminded him, "Cover the fingerprints on your face, don't let anyone see them."
The two men came out of the mansion and got straight into the carriage.
Xiao He lowered her head and avoided it, but no one noticed anything wrong with her.
The carriage started slowly, and Li Yuechen warned: "Listen carefully, don't tell anyone about this when you go back!"
"Your Highness, why is this happening?" Xiao He didn't understand.
"If my grandfather knew about this, all the Jinwu Guards outside would be punished for failing to provide adequate protection! Do you understand?"
"Can……"
Li Yuechen stared into her eyes, his face serious: "This is the princess's order!"
Xiao He also reacted and nodded immediately: "It's all up to your Highness!"
Seeing her nod, Li Yuechen opened the curtain and leaned out, calling out to the Jinwu Guard who was driving the car, "My dear!"
"What do you want, Your Highness?"
"Turn around and head to the Imperial City Taichang Temple."
“Yes!”
…
When they arrived at the Taichang Temple, Li Yuechen asked Xiaohe to stay in the car and he trotted all the way to the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Seeing the princess coming, Liu Shenwei asked with a smile: "What orders do you have for me today, Your Highness?"
"My accompanying palace maid was knocked down just now, and I wanted to ask if there is any medicine here..." Li Yuechen looked well-behaved.
"The princess is kind-hearted, which brings happiness to me!" Liu Shenwei stroked his beard and praised, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will bring it to you right away!"
"Thank you, Liu Fengyu!" Li Yuechen raised his hand to salute.
She didn't deliberately say not to tell Li Zhi. If she didn't tell him, Liu Shenwei might not take it seriously.
But if I deliberately tell him not to tell Li Zhi, he might think too much.
…
After getting the medicine, Li Yuechen trotted back to the carriage.
However, the clogs on his feet were not suitable for running, so he simply took them off and ran back to the carriage barefoot.
Then he opened the medicine jar and took the small wooden stick to apply it on Xiaohe's face.
"How dare I trouble Your Highness..." Xiao He was startled and was about to refuse.
"Don't move! The wound is on your face, how can you see it?" Li Yuechen slapped her hand away and helped her apply medicine.
Xiao He looked reserved, holding onto the hem of her skirt with both hands, not knowing where to put them. She made small talk: "Your Highness just told me not to make it public, but what if that..."
Li Yuechen looked helpless: "If he is smart, he should find a way to escape now. It would be fine if this matter had been done, but it has not been done yet. No matter what, he can't save his head!"
But having said that, Li Yuechen was actually also worried.
As a princess, if she wanted to kill someone, she could just say a word.
But the problem is that the matter can no longer be concealed, and there is no one around who can do the job!
For the first time, Li Yuechen thought that he should train some subordinates. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, he will have no one to use. This feeling is too frustrating!
After returning to Chengxiang Palace, Li Yuechen decided not to think about these things for the time being.
As for Helan Minzhi, I'll find a chance to catch him and hang him up and beat him to death! Anyway, he's probably useless now, so don't even think about harming the little girl in the future.
…
On the other side, inside the Yanying Palace.
Zhang Chengxin walked into the palace in small steps: "Saint, Madam. Madam Rongguo has entered the palace and asks to see Madam!"
Li Zhi, who was sitting on a chair with a health ball, nodded: "Mei Niang, you go by yourself."
"Okay, Your Majesty, take a rest first. I will stay with my mother for a while and then I will be back."
"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded with his eyes closed, and continued to play with the health ball while waiting for the tea to boil.
Wu Zetian arranged for her mother to wait in Chenghuan Hall, and she sorted out the pile of memorials on the table before getting up and leaving.
As soon as I came over, I saw my mother, Mrs. Rongguo, waiting in the hall with an anxious look on her face.
Before Wu Zetian, who was curious, could say anything, Lady Rongguo had already stood up and walked quickly to her.
"Mei Niang, I don't want to say anything else, I just hope you can spare his life!"
Hearing these words, Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment.
She didn't know what was going on, but she instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He immediately waved to the people around him: "Get out!"
After all the eunuchs and palace maids around had left, Wu Zetian slowly sat down on the large bed in the main hall and said with a serious face, "Since my mother came to plead for me, I think she must know that this matter is unforgivable, right?"
Mrs. Rongguo's hands were shaking: "But...but he is your nephew after all, as long as you are willing to spare his life..."
Helan Minzhi? Wu Zetian's eyebrows jumped slightly. What did he do?
Wu Zetian suppressed her doubts and kept her expression unchanged: "This is unforgivable. Mother, please go back!"
Mrs. Rongguo said tremblingly: "I, I never thought that he would do such a beastly thing to Chen'er, but he is already a useless person after all..."
"What?!"
Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly widened with anger, she turned her head sharply and shouted: "You did such a beastly thing to Chen'er?"
The huge roar caused an echo in the hall.
Mrs. Rongguo then realized that she had been deceived and she was not aware of it.
But it was too late to find out: "Mei Niang, listen to me..."
Wu Zetian no longer cared about that. She suddenly stood up, walked to the door, opened it and shouted, "Someone come!"
Immediately, a eunuch trotted over and said, "Madam!"
"Go and bring Chen'er here!"
“Yes!”
Then Wu Zetian closed the door again and turned to look at Lady Rongguo.
A raging fire had already burned in her beautiful eyes: " How dare that beast attack Chen'er? If anything happens to my daughter, I will tear him into pieces with my own hands!!!"
"No, no..." Rongguo's wife and husband hurriedly explained, "Mei Niang, listen to me..."
However, Wu Zetian didn't hear anything and just kept walking back and forth, waiting for Li Yuechen to come over.
…
As soon as Li Yuechen came back, Eunuch Fu asked curiously what happened to Xiaohe.
"It's okay, I was just knocked down." Li Yuechen smiled, "Eunuch Fu, let Xiaohe take a rest for a few days. I'll trouble you with the things here for a few days!"
Eunuch Fu bowed quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what's going on!"
Li Yuechen nodded. Usually, the relationship between Eunuch Fu and Xiao He was pretty good. Besides, there was nothing to be busy with here. It was nothing more than supervising the palace maids and eunuchs to do some work and cleaning every day.
Eunuch Fu can definitely handle it alone, it’s not a big deal.
Shangguan Wan'er seemed to want to ask something, but looking at Li Yuechen's expression, she said nothing.
After resting for a while, he was about to practice calligraphy when he saw Eunuch Fu come in and report: "Your Highness, the Queen is in Chenghuan Palace and wants you to come over."
"Oh..." Li Yuechen agreed and stood up to go over.
However, Eunuch Fu asked cautiously, "Did Your Highness make the Empress angry? The person who just reported this has a good relationship with me. It seems that Madam Rongguo went to complain to the Empress..."
Mrs. Rongguo?
Li Yuechen felt that things were going to get bad when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Ask Xiao He to come with me. You should come too."
"Yes!" Eunuch Fu nodded in agreement.
What just happened happened at Mrs. Rongguo's house. Now that she is here, I'm afraid the matter has been exposed.
Li Yuechen slapped his head as he walked in, he really forgot about this.
Helan Minzhi is Mrs. Rongguo's lover. If something happens to him, the first thing he would think of is to come and beg for mercy.
She must have thought that she, a little kid, had already told Wu Zetian about this matter, and in this case, she would definitely let it slip in a few words!
Miscalculated!
Li Yuechen shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Now we can only hope that this matter doesn’t get out of hand, otherwise if it gets to the emperor, who knows how many people will die.
Arriving at the entrance of Cheng Huan Palace, the eunuch outside the door said, "The queen has said something, no need to inform, just go in directly."
Li Yuechen nodded and took Eunuch Fu and Xiao He in.
All the people in the yard have been cleared out. It seems that they really know about it.
Feeling helpless, Li Yuechen knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
As soon as I came in, I saw Mrs. Rongguo standing trembling beside her, and her mother Wu Zetian standing beside the bed with an expressionless face.
It seemed like he knew what happened, so he seemed calm and didn't lose his composure.
"My son greets his mother!" Li Yuechen bowed.
"Well, you dare to lie to me about something as serious as this!" Wu Zetian nodded. "If I didn't know this now, would you have continued to lie to me?"
"baby……"
Wu Zetian didn't want to listen to her explanation at all. She turned her head to look at Eunuch Fu and Xiao He, and shouted, "And you! How dare you deceive your superiors and hide the truth from your subordinates when such a big thing happened? You are so bold! Come here! Beat him to death on the spot!"
"Mother, you can't do that!" Li Yuechen took a step forward and spoke out to stop her. "Eunuch Fu didn't know what happened today, and he is innocent! Xiao He has been injured in order to protect me! I ordered her not to make a fuss, so if mother wants to punish her, just punish me!"
"Then you should explain it to me clearly!" Wu Zetian's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Why did you lie?"
Li Yuechen raised her hand and saluted: "I am a princess of the royal family. If this matter becomes a big deal, it may bring shame to the royal family. Besides, my grandfather is in poor health. If he knows about it, I am afraid something will go wrong. Besides, I am fine. I don't want my mother to worry about it..."
After hearing her explanation, Wu Zetian's face still showed anger, but she took a deep breath.
"You don't want me to worry about this? Who else would worry about this except me? Your grandmother even came to ask me to spare Helan Minzhi's life!"
Mrs. Rongguo raised her head: "Mei Niang... Chen'er, grandma didn't mean that, but you are fine, and besides, Helan Minzhi was also abolished by you, right? This..."
She explained a little haltingly.
In fact, Li Yuechen could understand her. Both her grandson and granddaughter were her own flesh and blood. She didn't know what to do.
As an old man, I just hope I can do something to save his life.
"Nothing happened?" Wu Zetian turned her head and said sternly, "He is so bold to do such a thing! And you still want me to spare his life? Leaving his body intact is already a consideration for family ties!"
Mrs. Rongguo burst into tears and knelt down tremblingly: "Mei Niang, I don't ask you and Chen'er to forgive him! But he is my grandson after all! And he is already disabled..."
"Grandson?" Wu Zetian asked, "Isn't Chen'er a grandson?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just... just..." Mrs. Rongguo didn't know how to explain, "I just wanted to save his life!"
Li Yuechen just stood aside without saying anything. Wu Zetian was furious now, so no matter what she said, it would be useless.
At least for now, Wu Zetian still loves this daughter very much.
This made Li Yuechen realize that all his efforts over the years were not in vain.
