NABC Chapter 46 Standing Up for Her
Chapter 46 Standing Up for Her
"Get up! What are you doing here? Are you all just watching me get bullied?" The Seventh Princess was furious at the sight of the guards standing there!
They acted like they didn't even see that they were being bullied.
"Ah... Oh!" Everyone realized what was happening and started attacking Yun Juan!
Yun Quan was prepared to pull out her secret weapon and launch a counterattack if they charged at her!
She didn't actually want to pull out her secret weapon at this moment. After all, if she did, with so many people here, word would get out that she had a secret weapon, and greed could corrupt some people!
She could run away on her own, but she didn't want to involve Wei's mother and Qinghe!
She held the poison tightly in her hand, thinking that if things really came to a point of no return, she would sprinkle the poison on the Seventh Princess and turn her into a fool who could only drool!
"Stop! What kind of behavior is this!" A shout from afar reached everyone's ears!
At this moment, the expressions of watching a good show and joining in the fun that had appeared on everyone's faces before were gone.
Their eyes were filled with fear and unease, as if they had heard a call from hell.
That voice was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into everyone's heart, making it hard for them to breathe and causing their heartbeats to quicken.
They began to regret why they had come here and why they had gotten involved in this conflict.
Now, all they want is to escape this place as quickly as possible and get away from this terrifying sound.
However, their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.
"Greetings, Regent! Long live the Regent!" The ladies and young women quickly lowered their heads, fearing that this living devil would set his sights on them—a being even more terrifying than the emperor!
Some say that when an emperor is dissatisfied with someone, he will consider whether that person has any value and how to maximize his own interests!
But those targeted by the Regent are treated as better off being killed than let one guilty person go free! Even if they don't die, they'll be badly injured!
Therefore, some people would rather fall into the hands of the emperor than into the hands of this so-called regent!
"Royal...Royal Uncle..." Upon hearing Murong Qian's voice, the Seventh Princess was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground!
"Am I... that scary? Why does the Seventh Princess have to perform such a grand ceremony!" Although Murong Qian's words landed lightly among the crowd, everyone couldn't help but murmur among themselves.
Aren't you scary? Aren't you scary? Last time a palace maid accidentally spilled tea on you, you ordered her to be skinned and made into a beauty drum!
Last time someone spoke ill of the Regent in court, you immediately listed a string of his crimes, accusing him of treason and ordering the execution of his entire family!
These things are known to everyone, from eighty-year-old men to three-year-old children!
"Reply...Reply to Uncle, it's...it wasn't that scary! It's...it's what Xi'er should do!" Seventh Princess Yuan Chunxi knelt on the ground, trembling. The Regent wouldn't let her get up, and she didn't even dare to lift her head!
Yun Juan watched Murong Qian from the side and rolled her eyes at her speechlessly!
Well, you've got that "13" act all over again today, haven't you!
Qinghe and Wei Cilan anxiously tugged at Yun Juan's clothes, their eyes filled with tension and worry.
They lowered their voices and urged impatiently, "Quickly pay your respects to the Regent!"
However, Yun Juan seemed not to hear, and remained standing there quietly, her gaze firm and composed.
At this moment, the entire garden was silent, and everyone knelt respectfully on the ground to pay their respects to the esteemed regent.
Yun Juan stood upright by herself, her figure standing out conspicuously among the kneeling crowd, as if she were the only anomaly in this space.
"Miss Wei, there's no need for such formalities. In principle, we're still family!" Murong Qian said again, leaving many people completely baffled!
How could this be? How did we suddenly become a family?
Is there some special kinship relationship between the Regent's Palace and the Grand Tutor Wei's Palace?
But they don't look like relatives at all!
After all, the Regent's Palace has always been a solitary place, and there don't seem to be many relatives there.
So, what exactly is the story behind this sudden appearance of "family"?
Puzzle arose in everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but speculate about the reasons behind it.
Some believe it might be because there's some kind of secret between the Regent and Grand Tutor Wei!
Some believe that the marriage between the two families may have been due to some unknown reason, but the specific reason is currently unknown.
However, no matter how much people speculated, they could not be sure of the true meaning of this "family".
"I know you're all wondering how I got involved with Grand Tutor Wei's family! You've probably forgotten that I received the Emperor's decree for this marriage! The matriarch of the Prime Minister's residence is the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Wei!"
Murong Qian's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tranquility.
"Come here!" Murong Qian tried to push the wheelchair toward Yun Juan, but after several attempts, he couldn't move it on his own!
Seeing his clumsy appearance, Yun Quan shook her head and walked directly in front of him!
"Everyone, look closely! This is the very daughter of the Prime Minister, betrothed by the Emperor! If you have any doubts, are you perhaps doubting that the Emperor made a mistake in issuing the imperial decree?"
Murong Qian's words were not only to let the ladies present see Yun Juan's appearance clearly, but also to warn them that the woman in front of them was not someone that anyone could offend!
After all, this was a marriage bestowed by the emperor. If they had doubts, were they implying that the emperor was not good at judging people?
Or were they knowingly defying imperial authority?
They cannot bear any of the charges!
Yun Quan felt a warmth in her heart. She never expected that this sickly man would protect her at such a crucial moment!
She knew that Murong Qian was standing up for her!
"Your Highness, please forgive us!" The crowd knelt on the ground, their faces burying themselves deeper and deeper!
"Waaaaah... Your Highness! The Seventh Princess just threatened to beat me to death!" Yun Juan started acting, and to make the performance more realistic, she even took out a handkerchief from her spatial storage.
He held a handkerchief to the corner of his eye, portraying himself as a pitiful person who had complained!
Murong Qian tapped her fingers on her wheelchair, the "tap-tap" sound sending cold sweat down the foreheads of everyone present!
At this moment, the one who felt extremely uncomfortable was the Seventh Princess, Yuan Chunxi, whose heart was pounding wildly.
Murong Qian did not answer; those few seconds of contemplation felt like an eternity of being plunged into an ice cave!
No one expected that Yun Juan would actually take the path of filing a complaint!
They thought she would retaliate in kind.
But Yun Quan was someone who hated trouble. Why wouldn't she be happy to have someone back her up and stand up for her?
What's that saying again? Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of something free! She really enjoys this kind of carefree, leisurely life!
