Chapter 15 Regent, do you want to protect her?
The young emperor stood aside in silence, his cold gaze falling on the girl's beautiful and cold face, his eyes filled with gloom, and the hand hanging by his side tightened unconsciously.
Ji Yucang walked up to Shen Ning, raised his hand to brush her cheek, and wiped away the blood on her face: "You are probably the first person to kill someone on their wedding day."
Shen Ning said indifferently: "They provoked me first."
"Shen Ning." The Queen Mother suppressed her anger, but her voice could not hide the murderous intent, "The prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty. Even if you are married to the regent, you will still die today -"
"Queen Mother." Ji Yucang tilted his head, his voice cold and ruthless, "Shen Ning is my wife, it is not the turn of others to teach me a lesson."
The Queen Mother's expression froze: "Prince Regent, do you want to protect her?"
"Any crime committed by a servant below is a capital crime." Ji Yucang said coldly, "The Queen Mother never killed any servant in the palace?"
The Queen Mother choked and turned pale instantly, unable to speak a word.
"Mother." The young emperor spoke in time, with a gentle voice, "Uncle Huang is right, any crime committed by a servant or below is a capital crime, and Aunt Huang should give them a lesson."
Although those slaves were also ordered by the princess, killing them would be a provocation to the royal princess.
But right now, that's not important.
"Your Majesty?" Princess Jiahe looked at him in disbelief, "It is Shen Ning who wants to kill me. Your Majesty should execute her Ling Chi!"
The young emperor's eyes fell on her red and swollen forehead, his eyes were deep and his voice was indifferent: "Sister Huang, why are you bringing people to the new house if you are not having a drink in front of us?"
"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother tightened the handkerchief in her hand, her brows covered with a layer of gloom, "Can't Jiahe come and see the bride?"
The young emperor concealed the color in his eyes: "If they hadn't come, there wouldn't have been such a conflict."
"So, it's Jiahe's fault instead?" The Queen Mother was angry at his cowardice and couldn't help but say something unscrupulous, "If Shen Ning kills Princess Jiahe, does the Emperor also take it for granted?"
"They are princesses, I won't kill them." Shen Ning said indifferently, "Let them kneel down and kowtow to me, and I will spare their lives."
The Queen Mother looked at her in shock, as if she had heard something incredible: "You...you asked the princess to kowtow to you?"
All the maids and eunuchs in the courtyard looked at her in shock. They couldn't help but wonder, could the Shen family's legitimate daughter be stimulated and go crazy?
"You're dreaming!" Princess Jiahe screamed hysterically, with the tone of an out-of-control shrew, "You bitch should be quartered by five horses! Dare you make me kneel down? I will never kowtow to you bitch! You The unchaste bitch——"
"No problem." Ji Yucang's voice was indifferent, "Jiahe, Jiayu, you two kneel down and kowtow to your aunt."
As soon as the words fell, the whole courtyard was filled with dead silence.
Everyone stared at the Regent with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Prince Regent, do you know what you are talking about?" The Queen Mother turned pale with anger, and her voice could be heard shaking several times, "Jiahe is a princess! A legitimate princess! She is the biological daughter of the late emperor and the Ai family, and you actually Dare she kneel down and kowtow to a bitch?”
Jiahe's face was pale and he looked at him blankly: "Uncle, I am a princess, a royal princess, she is just..."
"I don't want to repeat it a second time." Ji Yucang clasped his hands, his voice as cold as frost, "If you don't want to go get married tomorrow, just do as I say."
The Queen Mother swayed and almost fainted.
She couldn't believe that Ji Yucang dared to threaten her, the Queen Mother, in front of so many people today.
He simply put the face of their mother and son under his feet!
Princess Jiahe gritted her teeth, anger, humiliation, and hatred flashed across her face... In the end, her face became stiff, and she slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Ning.
"Today's humiliation will be repaid to you tenfold and a hundredfold in the future." Jiahe stood up and stared at Shen Ning fiercely, "You'd better pray every day to avoid falling into the hands of this princess!"
Leaving these words behind, she walked away filled with hatred.
Shen Ning's face was expressionless, and she didn't take her threat to heart at all.
Jiayu clenched her hands and looked at Shen Ning coldly, knowing that with the regent present today, even if the stalemate continued, she would not be able to win.
The regent doesn't even give the Queen Mother face, so how can he care about other people?
Princess Jiayu didn't want to get married, so she could only endure the humiliation and did as she was told. She knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Ning, got up and hid her face before leaving.
The two princesses left in embarrassment, and the Jinlin Courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The Queen Mother's face had never been ugly: "Okay, okay, that's great! The Ai family has never seen such an arrogant person who is not afraid of death. Shen Ning, you have taught the Ai family something!"
When she said this, the Queen Mother looked at Shen Ning with a strong murderous look in her eyes, with a strong intention to cut her into pieces tomorrow.
Shen Ning showed no fear and just looked at her expressionlessly.
The Queen Mother turned around with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Go back to the palace!"
A large group of people surrounded her and left.
Before turning around, the young emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe took a deep look at the bold daughter of the Shen family. The color in his eyes was dark and unpredictable.
After Wu Yangyang's people left, the courtyard instantly became empty.
Several corpses lay scattered inside and outside the new house.
The living maids and several female officials of the Prince Regent's Palace were trembling with fear.
Ji Yucang ordered indifferently: "Take care of it."
The guards who were on duty outside took the order, entered the room quickly, and carried all the corpses out.
The two female officials led the maids to quickly fetch water, wipe away the blood stains in the new room, and replace all the mattresses and curtains that should be replaced with new ones.
Ji Yucang stood in front of the court and looked at his newlywed wife: "You went on a killing spree on your wedding night, do you have anything to say?"
"There's nothing to say." Shen Ning replied indifferently, "They are seeking death themselves, regardless of whether they are new or old."
Ji Yucang said: "Why don't you ask me for help?"
Shen Ning looked at him: "Will you help me?"
"What do you think?"
"I wasn't sure before, so it's faster to do it myself." Shen Ning said indifferently, "Now I'm sure, you should help me."
Ji Yucang said calmly: "What if you lose?"
"Since I have taken action, I will bear all the consequences myself." Shen Ning said calmly, "I deserve to die. I can't blame others."
Ji Yucang walked up to her, with a hint of subtlety on his stern face: "In this case, I lost my wife just after we got married. Wouldn't I be an injustice?"
"The guards at the Regent's Mansion are not tight enough, or are they deliberately letting loose?" Shen Ning's eyes were cold, "Didn't you let them in just to see this result?"
Ji Yucang looked at her deeply and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Shen Ning, you are so smart that I am impressed by you."
