That night, Xu Rouzhi actually slept in peace. When she woke up in the morning, she stretched her back and felt that the Prince Qi Palace was so quiet. Xu Rouzhi was even a little puzzled: "Bi Su, did Su Leyao not come to cause trouble last night?"

"Nope." Bi Su said softly, "However, Mrs. Su went out of the house last night and returned at midnight."

"Something big has happened at home. She must be going home to check up on the situation and think of a way to deal with it!"

"She went to seek an audience with the Duke, probably to ask him to think of a way to save Su Family! However, the Prince did not receive them, and even said that he would wait for everything to happen tomorrow. Thus, she had to leave the palace in a hurry, so she did not have the time to come to Jinxiu House to find trouble with us. However, she will definitely blame it on us, and making trouble for us is only a matter of time. "

"Not afraid." Xu Rouzhi smirked, "If she doesn't come looking for trouble, I still have to think of a way to make her come!"

Unexpectedly, Su Leyao requested for an audience, but Chu Yixuan actually rejected it! Ha, this means that Chu Yixuan is still clear of his position!

So, in order to ensure the safety of the Prince Qi Palace, Chu Yixuan would not save Su Guoyong?

Bi Su looked at Xu Rouzhi, her eyes revealing a trace of doubt.

Bi Su did not understand.

Xu Rouzhi was already tired of this disorderly place called the Prince Qi Palace. She just wanted to finish what she needed to do and get out of here as soon as possible.

The relief operation at the Prince Qi Mansion continued. However, the commoners did not gather at the entrance of the Prince Qi Palace as they usually did.

One night passed, and within the Fragrance Pavillion, the news of Second Young Master Su piercing the left eye of the son of the National Duke had long ago spread throughout the entire Ji City.

Everyone knew the significance of Su Family to Prince Qi Palace, and what kind of impact it would have on Prince Qi Palace if something were to happen to them.

Therefore, after what had happened, whether or not Princess Qi's relief efforts would continue, no one dared to be sure. They could only wait and see.

When Xu Rouzhi brought Bi Su to the relief site, seeing that there were not many commoners here, and that only some of them were standing far away from the Prince Qi Palace, and did not dare to approach it, Xu Rouzhi immediately went up the stage and greeted: "Fellow villagers, come and fetch the food!"

Everyone looked at each other hesitantly.

Xu Rouzhi shouted: Come over, the relief activities will continue as usual, no matter what happened yesterday, it has nothing to do with the Prince Qi Palace, no one needs to worry too much, come, come, it will get cold after a while!

"No matter what happened yesterday, it had nothing to do with the Prince Qi Palace?" Doubtful, everyone slowly approached the relief station.

Xu Rouzhi then retreated from the relief platform and smiled as she walked towards the Prince Qi Palace.

Looking at the incoming carriage, Bi Su said softly: "Princess, that is the carriage from Mrs. Su."

"I know." Xu Rouzhi pursed her lips. She had already seen it when came out of the Jinxiu House just now, that she was preparing for a carriage inside the Monoculture. It was possible that Su Leyao was still going out of the Duke Palaces.

Earlier, she saw Su Leyao's carriage coming from afar on the relief stage. She said that the incident yesterday had nothing to do with the Prince Qi Palace and she purposefully raised her voice so that Su Leyao could hear her.

Su Leyao, didn't you always act so arrogantly and not put in your eyes? How could you endure Xu Rouzhi's provocation?

Sure enough, the carriage stopped. In the carriage, Su Leyao clenched her fists tightly, and gritted her teeth in anger.

Chu Yixuan hadn't even expressed her opinion yet, but she, Xu Rouzhi, dared to proclaim to the outside world that what happened yesterday had nothing to do with the Prince Qi Palace! Normally, Su Leyao would have long since left the carriage, and slapped Xu Rouzhi with her big ear!

But right now, Xu Rouzhi was different. Her Su Family was at the brink of a great calamity, so she could only endure it for now and softly advise Su Leyao: "Madam, our matter is more important."

Su Leyao's face was ashen. After a long while, she finally spat out one word: "Let's go!"

Xu Rouzhi looked at Bi Su, who nodded in understanding, then stood in front of the horse carriage and stopped him: "Wait!"

Yan Hong looked at Bi Su in shock. Even if Xu Rouzhi flipped over, she would not dare stop Mrs. Su's carriage, right?

Bi Su walked around the horse carriage and asked puzzledly: "Whose carriage is this? "Where are you going?"

Yan Hong was enraged, "Didn't you ask already know the answer? Of course it's my wife's car! "

"Huh?" Bi Su was startled, "So it's Mrs. Su? I wonder where Mrs. Su is going? Why don't you pay your respects to the princess when you see her? Have you forgotten what it means to be reverent and humble? "

What? Inside the carriage, Su Leyao was so angry that her nose started smoking. She made use of Xu Rouzhi to turn around, and that lowly slave Bi Su actually dared to stop her carriage, and even accused her of not knowing how to respect others?

There was no movement in the carriage, only the sound of his fists clenching.

Xu Rouzhi waved her hand, and said softly: "Alright, Bi Su, other people do not know how to respect others, do you not understand as well?"

What was that supposed to mean? Xu Rouzhi had actually learned how to scold others?

In the carriage, Su Leyao only felt blood rushing up his body, his entire body seemed like it was about to ignite!

She suddenly stood up, walked down the carriage with large steps and arrived in front of Xu Rouzhi.

She had never once admired Xu Rouzhi, and even though there was currently a Sang Woruo who had been released from the Prince Qi Palace due to Xu Rouzhi, so what?

Looking coldly at Xu Rouzhi, Su Leyao did not bow, but only coldly snorted with her eyes slanted: "I wonder what wangfei wants?"

Xu Rouzhi shrugged, "I should be the one asking this question, right? What does Mrs. Su want? "

Su Leyao suppressed her anger and said, "I'm going out for a trip. What, is the wangfei not allowed to go?"

Xu Rouzhi said lightly: "There's a storm outside, I think, it's better if Mrs. Su didn't go out and wade in the muddy water!"

Su Leyao gritted her teeth: "What kind of water do I have? This has nothing to do with my wife?"

Xu Rouzhi nodded her head: "What you do has nothing to do with me. But what did you do, was related to the Prince Qi Palace? Mrs. Su, don't forget, once you marry into the Prince Qi Palace, you will be considered as a member of the Prince Qi Palace. Whether other people's families live or die has nothing to do with you anymore. Your second brother has injured someone, so the officials of the Tribunal will decide what to do. If you try to interfere in this matter, don't implicate our prince! "

"You're lying!" Su Leyao shouted angrily, "How can I implicate Your Highness!?"

"He won't be implicated?" Xu Rouzhi sneered, "If something happened to your Su Family, it could cause trouble for the Duke, and you still want to mess around in the middle. Could it be that you want to harm the Duke?"

"You …" Su Leyao was so angry that her face turned green. She sneered twice, "Truly a thief calling for a thief. You're the one who wants to harm Your Highness, Xu Rouzhi! "Don't think that your highness doesn't know that you're a spy sent by the Eastern Palace sect. If it wasn't for my Su Family protecting your highness …"

Xu Rouzhi chuckled, and interrupted Su Leyao's words: "Am I a spy sent from the Eastern Palace? Without evidence, can you just carelessly blame me, Mrs. Su? Do you really think that your Su Family can protect the Duke? If it were not for the existence of your Su Family, do you think the Duke's situation would be so dangerous? "

"You …"

"Come, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart." Xu Rouzhi smiled as she moved close to Su Leyao's ear and said softly, "The crown prince is afraid of the prince because your Su Family is a threat to the Eastern Palace. So, now that your Su Family has collapsed, Your Highness absolutely cannot think of ways to save you. Only by drawing a clear line between you and your Su Family can Prince Qi Palace preserve their peace. "

After she finished speaking, Xu Rouzhi retreated back to her own seat and smiled: "Do you understand now? This is the reason why Prince did not want to see you last night. "

Su Leyao's face turned red, then red, then white. Suddenly, she pressed down on her chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Yan Hong was shocked, and hurriedly went forward to support Su Leyao. "Madam, Madam, what's wrong? What's the matter with you? "

Xu Rouzhi sighed, and instructed: "Mrs. Su is sick, hurry and help me regain my Monoculture, please let me check your pulse."

Yan Hong looked at Xu Rouzhi panickedly, then looked at Su Leyao. At this time, Su Leyao was no longer able to speak, he could only have the attendant beside him help her return to the carriage, then turn back to Monoculture.

Bi Su clapped happily. "We've been bullied by her for two years, we might as well make a comeback!"

Was this considered a turnaround? Xu Rouzhi sighed.

— — For the past two years, Su Leyao had completely countered all of her monthly usage rates. To put it simply, it was under the orders of the prince, so the consumption rate of everyone in the Prince Qi Palace needed to be reduced. The two lateral consort s, on the other hand, enjoyed better treatment than her. In their Jinxiu House s, they ate green vegetables and tofu, while they wore sackcloth. Yet, their Monoculture s and Huaxiu House s ate precious delicacies, wearing silk and satin.

The first time, Bi Su merely asked Su Leyao for an explanation. She was actually punished by Bi Su to kneel in a world of ice and snow, her knees were frozen to the point that the ground was purple red, leaving behind chilblains. She timidly went to plead with Su Leyao, but Su Leyao was drinking and laughing with him in the house, ignoring her.

The second time, before she could go and ask Su Leyao for an explanation, Su Leyao actually stole the Jinxiu House from the servants, turning the Jinxiu House upside down, and also caused her to be beaten half to death. If it were not for Bi Su's protection, she would have been pushed down to the ground by Su Leyao!

In the Jinxiu House, some poisonous wasps that could bite people often flew in for no reason, and if not for Bi Su's protection, it was unknown how many times she would have been bitten.

In the middle of the night, outside of the Jinxiu House, there would always be faint howls coming from outside. The ghosts were floating outside the window and scared her so much that she covered herself with her blanket and didn't dare to stick her head out.

In these two years, in the Prince Qi Palace, the servants only had Mrs. Su, Mrs. Sang, and not her. When it came to Su Leyao and Sang Woruo, all of them bowed respectfully. When they saw her, they turned a blind eye and treated her as a transparent person who did not exist.

There were several times when Yanhong purposely knocked her down and then turned around to apologize. "Yanhong was careless, don't blame me!"

There were even a few times when someone purposely tripped her up and someone beside her was still chuckling with her hands covering her mouth. "Wow, wangfei can't even walk steadily!"

Bi Su could not help but scold, "How dare you deliberately trip up an imperial concubine?"

"Is this an imperial concubine? Impossible, right? " The servants pretended to be surprised as they replied, "They are all dressed in rags. We thought that there were beggars who dared to barge into our mansion."

Some people even asked directly, "Princess?" Where did our wangfei get this so-called wangfei! Your highness doesn't even want a person, and still refuses to leave our prince's mansion even after death. This kind of person who doesn't even want face, is worthy of being called a wangfei? "

She had heard and seen too much of such humiliating words and insults.

Yes, it was indeed because Xu Rouzhi's character was too soft in the past, but who in the Prince Qi Palace could set up her prestige? In these two years, the number of times she had seen Chu Yixuan could be counted on one hand. Sometimes, even if she had seen him, she would only be able to see him from afar.

Not only that, Su Leyao and Sang Woruo had even set a trap for her to poison Chu Yixuan's tea, and had even framed her as a thief!

No one respected her because she was the daughter of the Crown’s Master. On the contrary, it was precisely because of this identity that she suffered so much in the Prince Qi Palace. All of this was enough!
