Chapter 479 Your Highness, You Can’t Do This
“Listening to your mother’s words, that’s why you broke the lantern, and you’re going to blame it on Duan’s and that fourth young lady from the Qu Mansion?” Pei Luoan coldly said, reaching out to take the lantern, his gaze falling on that obvious scratch on top of the lantern’s bottom sitting.
“Your Highness …… this, this should be an accident, mother did not say before that this lantern was scratched, Your Highness, I know that Your Highness has a piece of the Prince Consort’s mood, and …… how could you do such a thing to anger Your Highness, Your Highness! ” Ji Youran’s face was pale and shivering.
It was a scratch she really didn’t know about and hadn’t heard Shaw talk about it, but now why was there a scratch on the top of the lantern?
Pei Luoan looked at her twice, saw that her situation didn’t look like she was faking, and instructed the guards, “Go ask how it got scratched.”
The guards answered and retreated, and in a short while they came in to report, “Your Highness, the two grannies said that when they got it, it was bad, and they also said that it was brought from Mrs. Duan’s side of the Ling’anbo House, and that they didn’t know anything else, and that they were at Mrs. Xiao’s behest to go and get it.”
This was the confession that was strung together in the beginning, it’s just that the situation is different now, and saying it again makes it sound more like Shaw’s setup.
Sure enough confessed her mother, Ji Youran’s heart panicked, the whole person is nervous and shivering, the great hall is quiet, the ears seem to even hear the silent breathing clearly, Ji Youran would like to see the expression of the Crown Prince, but she does not dare to move, for fear of provoking Pei Luoan’s violent anger.
“Ji Youran, how do you think this should be done in order to preserve the Crown Princess’ honor?” Pei Luoan’s cold, quiet voice suddenly came from his ears.
Ji Youran, however, couldn’t help but fight a shiver and hurriedly said, “Your Highness, you can punish your mother for being grounded and let her copy the Buddhist scriptures as long as Your Highness is satisfied.”
Pei Luo An moved to say that she had to say that.
“That’s all? The Prince Consort’s face is stepped on like that?” Pei Luoan’s voice is still calm, but Ji Youran hears the anger under his calmness, steals her eyes to look above, and meets a pair of cold and stern eyes, her heart panics, and she can’t say a single word in knotted white.
The face of JiHanYue is at stake, so the mother’s sin can’t be resisted? But mother is after all JiHanYue’s elder, JiHanYue did not die before see mother will bow, let alone now JiHanYue are dead, are dead can no longer die, Prince want to do?
But she didn’t have the guts to retort, gritted her teeth and lowered her head, “Please punish the Crown Prince.”
This matter she can not admit, can only be pushed to the mother’s body, the mother is JiHanYue’s elders, the crown prince if the consideration of JiHanYue, necessarily will not be to the mother how, not to mention the grandmother is still there, even if the crown prince does not respect the mother, grandmother is always JiHanYue’s own grandmother, right!
She’d beg her grandmother to intercede for her mother in a moment.
Ji Youran hard to think in a good direction, but just a lantern with a scratch on it, Ji Hanyue has so many things, there is some damage and what is it, as for the mother and Duan’s fight, in fact, it is just the inner courtyard of the Ling’anbufu’s fight, right, how would the high and mighty Prince pay attention to this!
“Cane?” Peloan said.
Ji You Ran suddenly widened her eyes and raised her head in shock, “Your …… Highness ……”
“What? Think there’s an accident? Or do you think the Crown Princess’ face is less than your mother’s caning?” Pei Luoan asked in a slow voice.
Ji Youran s face became whiter, the whole person was shivering, knee walking forward, hand to Pei Luoan s knee, wailed, “Your Highness, she is my concubine s birth mother, this …… this let my concubine how to see people.”
No matter how many hits, the hit is not only Xiao’s face, but also Ji Youran’s face, since Ji Hanyue is gone, Ji Youran has always taken Pei Luoan’s most cared about woman as her own, if Xiao was publicly caned by the Crown Prince, how else could she see people in the future, and how else could she face Liu Jingyu?
“When your mother was doing this, did she ever think about the Crown Princess’ face, or the face of Lone?” Pei Luoan sneered.
“Your Highness, you can’t be like this!” Ji You Ran was anxious, a pull on Pei Luo An’s robe, tears could not be held back any longer, one by one rolled down, wailing and begging, “Your Highness, just this once, never again, I will talk to my mother, and I will also let my grandmother punish my mother, I only hope that Your Highness will give my servant a face, and let grandmother go back to the house to punish her, that is… …”
Words here, heartbroken, but had to go down, “Even if it is a caning …… also …… also let the mother go back to the house …… only! ”
Back to the house, Xiao is disgraced, but at least no one will think of their own body, and by grandmother caning, but also just against the grandmother’s wishes, they will not be involved at all.
Ji You Ran is now thinking completely about herself, only want to pull herself out of this matter, as for Xiao, although she is heartbroken, but she can’t care anymore, always have to pull things clean on herself first.
Pei Luoan body to lean back, quietly looking at her, a good half a dozen did not say anything, seems to be considering what, gradually the eyes are no longer so cold, actually calmly reached out to pull her up from the ground, “then go back to the house to the caning of the blame, but she is now staying here …… ”
“I’ll let her go back now and punish her when grandmother returns.” Ji You Ran hurriedly said.
“Good, indeed it is Lone’s side consort, a heart for Lone’s consideration.” Pei Luoan was still satisfied, smiled slightly and said, “Lone’s side consort is so considerate for lone, lone will naturally be heartbroken as well, it means that you now remember the guarantee that you said to lone at the beginning, similarly, lone also guarantees you that as long as you are single-mindedly for lone, lone will naturally put you in your heart, in the most important position in the mouth of your heart as well.”
Pei Luoan reached out and gently pinched on Ji Youran had face, then the force suddenly increased, Ji Youran almost screamed in pain, but seeing Pei Luoan’s eyes that barely had a trace of a smile, he forced himself to hold back, his eyes reddened and tears slowly rolled down his delicate face, bleak and supple.
Pei Luoan’s anger receded a few moments, his hand loosened up, and even gently rubbed on her face, “Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt!” Ji Youran said hastily.
“There is some pain in Lone’s heart.” Pei Luoan’s gaze turned to one side of the table, there is a scratch on the lantern placed on it, “This lantern was still made by cold moon in the beginning, in order to make this lantern, her hand is still injured, she thought that lone didn’t know, purposely has been not to reach out, but will lone not see ……”
When the words came to this point, Pei Luoan stopped, turned his hand to pick up the lantern and looked at it carefully, but did not utter a word.
“Why doesn’t your highness take the lantern back and find a handy craftsman to patch it up, it should be fine.” Ji Youran did not care about the hidden pain on her face, and hurriedly said.
“May I?” Peloan frowned.
“Naturally it’s possible, that one scratch isn’t that big, a little mending will be fine.” Ji You Ran explained while excusing her mother.
Mother’s chastisement would be much lighter if only she could mend it.
“Mended, is she the one who did it?” Pei Luoan snorted coldly.
This word Ji You Ran did not dare to pick up, secretly clenched her teeth fiercely, fell on the lantern above the gaze through a wave of jealousy mockery, how she did not know before that His Highness the Crown Prince so valued Ji Hanyue?
How is it that once Ji Hanyue died, His Highness the Crown Prince misses so much?
Unfortunately, knowing the inside story, she just thought it was a joke, was Ji Hanyue really the only woman the Crown Prince was truly attracted to?
Some things played out and looked like they were real, and she still had to match it to show respect and importance to a dead person.
Ji Hanyue died that day in the face of the Lin Yuan Excellency, I am afraid how will not think of this scene in front of you ……
“What, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to chastise me, and …… also cane me?” Xiao’s face was white with fear, her whole body was trembling, she could barely stand, she was now with Ji You Ran on the path where Ji You Ran had talked to Qu Mo Ying before, and Ji You Ran had purposely called Xiao out.
“Mother, His Highness the Crown Prince found out about this and thought that you were the one who purposely scratched a scratch on top of the lantern, and was very angry.” Ji You Ran sighed and said.
“I didn’t let anyone make a scratch on the top of the lantern, why would I do that ah, and it’s still a lantern in the hands of Duan’s people, my people just happened to see it and fetched it over just, how is this matter still blamed on me.” Xiao’s anxious, a pull on Ji Youran’s hand, “Lady side consort, you are aware of this matter, you explain with the crown prince.”
“Mother, I’ve already explained, but the Crown Prince doesn’t listen, I can’t do anything about it, I only beg the Crown Prince to hand this over to grandmother, let grandmother punish you, and still go back to punish you, with me, grandmother won’t do it really over the top, you can rest assured!” Ji You Ran sighed again, reached out and gently patted on Xiao’s hand, soothing her.
“This …… how can this be done, even if your grandmother will not put down dead force, but this caning, this …… this let me in the future how to prestige the people in the house.” Xiao’s anxious.
“Mother, but this is something that can’t be helped, who let His Highness the Crown Prince see your people fetch the lantern to come, I’m not asking you not to fetch the lantern, don’t take it out again, there’s a change in this matter.” Ji You Ran was not happy, her face sank, this matter also did blame Xiao, obviously had given hints before, Xiao’s people were still so stupid to bump into it.
Even she was also harmed by a hundred mouths, so think, Ji You Ran before because of the things pushed to Xiao’s body, some guilt, at this time suddenly feel that the original is Xiao’s will not do things, will be a good thing, do this way, but also implicated in her body.
“That granny was guarded by the crown prince’s people ……” Xiao’s aggrieved, not that she didn’t see her daughter’s eyes, but only because of the circumstances, the granny couldn’t leave, and no one went to call off the follow-up.
“So, I can’t help it.” Ji You Ran helplessly said, “Mother, you go back first, don’t let His Highness the Crown Prince see you again, in a while I’ll see if I can persuade His Highness the Crown Prince again, even if it’s a punishment, let His Highness the Crown Prince only have less quantity, your face is also my face.”
“Good …… good!” Xiao didn’t dare to say any more, wiping tears from her eyes and nodding her head, after which she went to apologize to the Dowager Lady and left Qing Yun Guan with her own subordinates.
Ji You Ran did not leave the path, far away, quietly watching Xiao leave, her heart hate and anger, all flavors.
Only, what she didn’t know was that in a slightly higher place in Qing Yun Guan, there was another person who saw the scene in front of her, and the Taoist nun who stood in front of the window, smiled faintly and turned around to walk deeper into the hall.
Someone from the Prince’s house? She just hopes the more chaos the better ……
