Princess Nanjiang regretted it. She regretted that her intestines turned green. She raised her hand and slapped herself twice, very loudly, making her ears buzz.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

After all, she was his biological mother. Seeing her like this, Chu Ning felt very distressed, so she quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from hitting her again.

“I regret it. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault that you became what you are now. It’s all my fault that I didn’t raise you well and made you so unruly and self-willed. Ning’er, this is not the Nanjiang Palace, and Bai Zhi is not a servant of the Nanjiang Palace that can be trampled by you.”

“Although her grandfather retired, he is still the well-known Dongfang Mu and is still the current emperor’s tutor. She is not someone you can touch casually.”

Chu Ning said: “I am still the biological daughter of Prince Nanjiang, and my surname is Chu.” Chu Ning said with her head held high.

Princess Nanjiang shook her head. She never knew that her daughter’s temper was even more unruly and self-willed than she imagined. She was not stupid. It was a very simple and clear thing, but she couldn’t see it.

No, maybe it’s not that she can’t see clearly, but she doesn’t want to see clearly at all.

“There is only one Bai Zhi, and there is only one Dongfang Mu, but there are many women surnamed Chu. Do you understand what mother said?”

Chu Ning was slightly taken aback: “Mom, what exactly do you want to say?”

Princess Nanjiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a choked voice: “The emperor has announced that your father has entered the palace, and the eunuch who came to announce the decree has some friendship with your father. He told me about this, otherwise, I will not come here. You don’t even know that you have caused such a catastrophe.”

Catastrophe?

In Chu Ning’s eyes, this was not a catastrophe at all but was just a trivial matter. She just wrote a few letters, and someone spread some words outside, that’s all. She didn’t kill or burn anyone, so why did it become a catastrophe?

“What does mother mean, the emperor will punish me?”

Princess Nanjiang nodded: “You will be punished. The Emperor holds Bai Zhi on the tip of his heart. How can he tolerate people talking about his woman like this? Do you know what happened to those who opposed Bai Zhi as the empress in the court a few days ago? ”

Chu Ning stared blankly at Princess Nanjiang: “What’s their end?”

Princess Nanjiang said: “Marquis Weiyuan, do you know him? Haven’t you met his daughter, Miss Zhuo Xi’er?”

hu Ning nodded: “I know, Zhuo Xi’er father is a powerful minister worthy of the name, a first-rank official, and Zhuo Xi’er is domineering. I remember it clearly.”

“The Marquis of Weiyuan is still the Marquis of Weiyuan now, but because of this incident, he was sent away from the capital by the emperor to a small remote county to be a county magistrate. Now, anyone who is big sesame can rub him.”

Chu Ning looked at her mother in disbelief: “Why, how could it be? Didn’t Zhuo Xi’er enter the palace long ago and just wait to be the empress?”

The reason why she categorically threatened Bai Zhi that she was not worthy to be the empress, nor would she be able to be the empress, was because she knew about Zhuo Xier’s entry into the palace. She was the daughter of civil and military officials, so she believed that Zhuo Xier would be the future Empress of Chu.

Regardless of family background or appearance, Zhuo Xi’er was very suitable.

But suddenly, Bai Zhi popped up, disrupting everything.

“There are two other high-ranking officials who wrote memorials, and they were also sent away from the capital. In today’s court, no one dares to publicly criticize Bai Zhi.” Princess Nanjiang looked worried: “Now you have done such a thing. The emperor will not be lenient, how can this be good?”

Chu Ning shook her head: “No, no, I am the Princess Yiping of the Nanjiang Palace. In terms of seniority, I am still higher than the Emperor. He has to call me aunt, and he will not punish me severely.”
