"Amitabha!" His mother was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly kneeled on the ground. The First Madam pulled Yueyue and Lian Fu to kneel as well.

This is the princess of An Guo! How is that possible!

Just a moment ago, the Prime Minister's mansion had received the praise of the princess of An Kingdom for her performance, and now that the third young miss had decided not to curry favor with the princess, it was truly hard to predict.

"Princess, I, I …" Lian Shiya muttered, not knowing what to do out of fear.

If the princess were to pursue the matter, she would discover that he had accepted the silver from the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. He had purposely suggested for the ladies to perform in order to give the Third Miss a chance to perform, so that he would definitely be dismembered.

Immediately, everyone in the banquet was scared to the point of sweating, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire. They inwardly blamed Lian Shiya for trying to curry favor with them, provoking the princess's anger and messing up a good banquet.

Princess An Guo lightly wiped her face and opened her eyes. Her hands were stained with a large amount of blood.

"Quick, quickly call the imperial physician!" Lotus Fragrance, Princess An Guo's personal servant, hastily summoned her. Soon, four imperial physicians came running over with boxes in their hands. They hurriedly took out cloth to wipe away the blood on Princess' face while someone else prepared a medicine ointment to stop the bleeding.

"Princess, your face …" When the blood had been wiped clean, Jia Xiang looked at An Guo's face and covered her mouth in shock.

"Bring the mirror!" An Guo's face was tense.

A moment later, the bronze mirror arrived. Princess An Guo saw a scar on her face and immediately broke it in her anger. She had spent a lot of time trying to make her face look young and young, but after eating so many purple carts (placenta), she was only able to change her face into a face comparable to that of a young girl.

She abruptly stood up from Feng Ye's embrace and furiously said:

"Tie this reckless thing up!"

At Princess An's command, several guards ran over and dragged Lian Shiya up from the ground. They quickly tied her up before pressing her body down hard, forcing her to kneel down.

Lian Shiya's entire body shivered. "Princess, I …" "I didn't do it on purpose, Princess …" She had never expected things to turn out this way.

She walked up to her in a few steps, raised her hand, and fiercely slapped her on the face. Feeling that she really did not have a way to vent her hatred, she gave her two more slaps, and even Shiya felt as if a mouthful of her teeth were about to be broken. Her face immediately swelled up and blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth.

"Cousin …" Xiao Rou felt that Lian Shiya was truly pitiful. She impulsively wanted to plead on behalf of Lian Shiya, but Madam Xiao saw through her thoughts and pulled her back, reprimanding her in a low voice —

"Don't meddle in other people's business!"

"But, Cousin, she …" Xiao Rou had a good relationship with Lian Shiya since she was young, so when she saw that no one helped her, her heart was filled with sympathy.

"She put in a lot of effort and failed to make up for the losses. She was the one who asked for it!" Madam Xiao said coldly.

"But if father knew we …" Xiao Rou brought out her father, Xiao Zhenhai.

"Your father is in Da Liao, if you anger the princess, he won't be able to reach you. When the time comes, the princess can squash you as easily as crushing an ant." Madam Xiao's words caused a chill to run down Xiao Rou's spine. She slowly withdrew her foot and lowered her head.

Lian Shiyue, who was kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face and eyes as cold as ice blades, had no emotions in those eyes. Even Shiya, what did this little bit of pain count for!? When you cut my child, cut me off, let me eat with the animals in the barn, the chickens peck at my eyes, the rats gnaw at my body, the cows and sheep fell on me, when I was hungry I ate the pig food, when I was thirsty I drank the dirty water, with that unyielding breath I lived for half a year, for half a year like this! Do you know how you get through every minute of every day?

Back then, you never gave me the slightest bit of mercy.

Lian Ruyue's fingertip was fiercely pinched into her palm, and her eyes began to burn.

At this time, she felt a gaze that seemed to be staring at her. She was slightly startled, and when she lifted her head, she discovered that Feng Yunzheng was looking at her, as if he knew what she was thinking about. There seemed to be a sense of comfort in that gaze.

Why did she have a feeling that the Ninth Prince … He seemed to know everything.

At this time, the princess of An Guo coldly scolded: "A poor girl who cannot afford to show her face, daring to dress up in front of me, the princess of An Guo, in an attempt to seduce my nephew. In order to please me, you have put in a lot of effort. I, the princess, loathe this kind of slut!"

"Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me. Your servant truly wishes to offer this parrot, who only knows what the hell is going on with this parrot," Lian Shiya was so scared that she fell to the ground and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Humph!" Really? Do you think this princess is blind? Where's your heart? Your golden parrot is obviously weak in spirit and can't even open its mouth to speak, but you do not care about its body and only want it to say auspicious words. If you don't love this bird, all you can do is to please me. You are very ambitious! Men, drag her down and kill her! "

What...

Lian Shiya was frightened out of her wits and instantly forgot to cry as her mind went blank.

Kill? Kill her?

At this time, her mother had already walked over quickly. Without a word, she raised her hand and slapped three times fiercely on Lian Shiya's face. Lian Shiya's eyes were shining, her ears were buzzing, and her vision was turning black.

"Ancestor, grandmother …" Even Shiya was frightened to the point that her face paled and she began to sob. Her tears were spent on painstakingly painted makeup and her luxurious clothing became messy. The phoenix hairpin dropped to the ground.

She looked around her with pleading eyes, hoping that someone would plead for her in front of the princess. However, the one she offended was the princess of An Guo, a country that even the emperor respected a bit. Who would be willing to cause trouble for her?

She looked at Fourth Prince Feng Qianyue, who had defended her that day, but not only was he indifferent, she also seemed to see disappointment in his eyes.

"Evil creature!" How does this old one usually teach you? How dare you act impudently in front of the princess! Even a hundred lives are not enough for you to lose! Hurry up and kowtow until the princess forgives you! " Her mother picked up the scepter in her hand and used her staff to hit Lian Shiya's body. As she hit Lian Shiya, she trembled in anger.

"Grandmother … Grandmother, be careful not to get angry! " Lian Ruyue hurriedly got up to support her mother. She knew that the reason her grandmother beat Lian Shiya like this was actually to protect Lian Shiya. To be more accurate, it was to protect the Prime Minister's residence.

When had Zhen mama, who had brought the parrot here, ever seen such a scene before? She was already so scared that she fell to the ground, unable to even crawl …

Even her mother's knees bent as she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She said to the prince, "Princess, this old man's discipline is useless. This old man has sinned far too much. Please punish him together with me, Princess."

When the princess of An Kingdom saw this virtuous and respected Countess Lian, the anger on her face subsided slightly. She said,

"Madam, how can I punish you? You were the one who gave me a steamed bun back then."

Even her mother was stunned. She did not understand what the princess of An Guo was talking about. What did steamed buns mean?

Originally …

She peeked at the stories in the dramas and yearned for life outside the palace. As a result, she secretly left the palace to have fun, but was soon robbed of her silver notes, turning into a beggar within a day. Her delicate little face turned black, her clothes became dirty, her hungry stomach growled, and she ran to the bun house to ask for some steamed buns, only to be chased out.

"Eat." Just when her stomach was rumbling with hunger, a dignified and beautiful young miss of a noble family bent down in front of her and presented a large, fragrant, snow-white bun in front of her.

She was so hungry that she quickly picked up the steamed bun and ate it.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Eat slowly. There's still more." She looked tenderly at An Guo, her eyes warm as the spring wind.

Anguo looked up as he ate. She even ordered water to be brought over for her to drink.

This person was his mother who had yet to leave the pavilion! However, she never knew that the person she gave a steamed bun to was the princess of An Guo.

An Guo sighed as she finally softened her tone, "For your grandmother's sake, I'll temporarily keep you alive. From today onwards, you won't be able to take a single step into my princess' mansion. Don't let me see you anywhere!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Princess!" Lian Mu hurriedly kowtowed, and in the blink of an eye, angrily rebuked Lian Shiya. "Little bastard, quickly thank the princess for not killing us!"

"Thank, thank you for not killing me, thank you for not killing me …" At this moment, having walked through the gates of hell once, Lian Shiya no longer cared about her manners as she repeatedly kowtowed on the ground.

"Throw her out!" Princess An didn't want to look at Lian Shiya again.

"Thank you, Princess." Lian Shiya's face was covered in tears in gratitude. The guard came over and loosened her, then pulled her up from the ground and walked out.

"Clank …" Suddenly, a clear sound was heard.

Lowering their heads to take a look, they saw a jade-green jade pendant lying on the ground. It looked like it belonged to a man. Everyone was stunned. Why would there be such a thing on this girl's body?

Lian Shiya turned pale with fright as she hurriedly bent down to pick it up, silently cursing her bad luck.

"Wait!" Lotus Incense, let's see what it is. " However, when her hand touched the jade pendant, she was stopped by the princess of An Guo.

He Xiang walked over and picked up the jade pendant. When she saw the carved words on it, her face turned red.

"What's written on it?" When the An Princess saw the expression on Lotus Fragrance's face, she seemed to have already guessed a bit.
