Chapter 1566 - 1561: Forcing Rong Yun

Chapter 1566: Chapter 1561: Forcing Rong Yun

"Jingjing." Qin Muyan bowed his head towards her, signaling her to accept Li Yunshu’s tea and to say some courteous words.

Rong Yun felt a deep sense of injustice. She had been harmed by Li Yunshu several times, how could she not hold grudges in her heart?

She simply did not want to forgive Li Yunshu!

Yet in this situation, she could only suppress her grievances, taking the tea from Li Yunshu’s hands. However, she really couldn’t swallow it down; the tea was too strong, and she turned around and vomited it out.

"Bang!"

The teacup fell to the ground, the scalding tea splashing all over Li Yunshu.

There was a murderous look in Li Yunshu’s eyes, as she wished she could twist Rong Yun’s head off right there!

She dared to splash her with tea!

Yet, feeling the piercing gazes from behind, she quickly lowered her head and kowtowed again, "This servant knows that the Princess will not forgive, and is willing to accept the Princess’s punishment. Please, impose a heavy punishment!"

"Jingjing, how could you spill the tea?" Qin Muyan frowned and rebuked sternly.

Rong Yun, bending over as she vomited, was supported by Qin Muyan, shaking her head with grievance, "It wasn’t intentional, it was just that I..."

As she spoke, the sour feeling in her stomach surged again, making her turn her head to vomit even more violently.

Without the old maid by her side, she couldn’t take good care of her own health, nor could she convey to Qin Muyan how she was truly feeling.

In the eyes of the Imperial family, her behavior appeared rather pretentious.

"Enough, although Yunshu did wrong, she has received her due punishment. You acting like this now, who are you trying to impress?" Qin Ge stepped forward and admonished Rong Yun.

In her eyes, Rong Yun was neither elegant nor composed, with her petite and delicate frame, hardly fitting as the mistress of the prince’s mansion, let alone the mother of a country in the future.

With her causing harm to Li Yunshu, the little positive impression Qin Ge once held for Rong Yun was completely erased.

Rong Yun leaned on Qin Muyan and sniffed, "I’ve said it, it wasn’t intentional, I just can’t stand the taste of this tea..."

She had no intention of targeting Li Yunshu, but she just couldn’t swallow this tea.

"You!" Qin Ge was dissatisfied, about to verbally reprimand Rong Yun, but was stopped by Qin Muyan’s glance.

Qin Muyan supported her waist, and said solemnly, "Jingjing is frail, mother, please don’t be too harsh on her."

"Yes, aunt, it must be the tea prepared by my palace that’s at fault, not suiting the Princess’s taste," the empress intervened, smoothing things over and had someone bring clean water for Rong Yun.

She looked at Rong Yun and really noticed her poor health, but because she hadn’t experienced pregnancy herself, she couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong.

Only the Empress Dowager had her suspicions, she beckoned with her hand, "Young girl, come sit by the imperial grandmother."

She leaned on the soft couch, her gaze tender. Qin Muyan intended to escort Rong Yun to her side, but then they heard the cold stern voice of an elder statesman, "Empress, Your Highness, now that Yunshu has apologized to the Princess, the criminal should be brought forward for execution, so as not to delay Your Highness’s afternoon matters."

Qin Rulie had not arrived, as there had recently been bandit issues in Yunwei City, and he was waiting for Qin Muyan to attend a meeting in the afternoon.

Qin Muyan paused slightly, gripping Rong Yun’s hand a little tighter.

Rong Yun listened, alarmed, "What criminal? Who is to be executed?"

Qin Muyan wrapped his arm around her waist, trying to block her view with his body, "Later, I will stand in front of you, don’t look, and don’t listen."

Letting her witness the execution of the old maid was truly too cruel of an affair.

But he had no way of protecting her and indulging her in this matter.𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Is it auntie! Are you going to kill her? Please, Qin Muyan, don’t kill her, okay?" Rong Yun burst into tears, desperately pleading with Qin Muyan as she clutched his hand.

Yet the empress had already commanded to bring forth the old maid.

The old maid was dressed in prison garb, covered in injuries, her face having aged ten years. Yet upon seeing Rong Yun, she still straightened her back, showing not a hint of fear.

In the courtyard of Fengqi Palace, two rows of palace guards in black armor stood neatly in the direction of the palace gate, with a sword-bearing guard standing right behind Yan Momo.

In the grand hall, the Empress Dowager, the empress, Qin Ge, and others were all present and seated, and the entire Li family mansion was there too, making the scene extremely solemn and serious.

Among this group of people, only Rong Yun was an exception.

She was crying so hard she couldn’t stand, even when Qin Muyan held her, she was resisting.

"Qin Muyan, please, can you love me once more? Please spare my aunt! Can you spare her?"

Rong Yun lay against his chest, crying out with a voice hoarse and desperate, her heart breaking.

She couldn’t just watch Aunt Yan die before her!

Yan Momo’s eyes were filled with sadness, she shook her head at Rong Yun and signaled the two young girls behind her to hold her down.

Hong Xiu and Xiao Xiang stood behind Rong Yun; they were equally grief-stricken, but they remembered Momo’s words and had to protect the princess.

"Empress, Eldest Princess, should we not inspect this criminal’s body and then execute her publicly?"

Li Bo stepped forward and said.

The empress looked towards Rong Yun’s direction and sighed lightly, "Bring someone, first confirm her identity."

"No! Don’t kill my aunt!"

As the empress’s people approached Yan Momo, Rong Yun broke free from Qin Muyan’s hold and rushed towards Yan Momo.

She fell to the ground, embracing Yan Momo, "Aunt, I won’t let you leave me!"

"Princess, do not come here, it’s dangerous!"

Yan Momo’s hands were tied, and she tried to push Rong Yun away with her shoulder, but Rong Yun held on tightly, refusing to let go, "I don’t care, if my aunt dies, I will not live either."

"Jingjing!"

Qin Muyan hurried over, he grabbed Rong Yun’s arm, "What nonsense are you talking about! She is merely your maidservant, you are a noble Princess!"

Even though Qin Muyan doted on Rong Yun, he felt somewhat repulsed by her words at this moment.

In his view, Rong Yun should not be so willful in front of everyone.

"I told you, my aunt didn’t do it intentionally! She would not harm anyone without cause!"

Rong Yun looked up at Qin Muyan, tears reddening her eyes, for the first time, she felt a rift between herself and Qin Muyan.

But she also knew, now was not the time for her to act spoiled because of his affection.

She just couldn’t stand by and watch her aunt die before her eyes.

"Your Highness, the Princess is just nostalgic and reluctant to let go of her maidservant, she meant no offense."

Yan Momo gritted her teeth and deliberately bumped Rong Yun away, "Princess, do not argue anymore, the more you speak, the more painful my death will be, it’s better to end it quickly with a single blow!"

"Aunt ..."

Rong Yun was knocked down, tears of pain streaming down, but she still subconsciously tried to get closer.

Behind her, Hong Xiu and Xiao Xiang came over and held her, one on each side, "Princess, you must not act rashly, your aunt...if she is wrong, then she is wrong!"

Hong Xiu held back her tears, pulling Rong Yun back.

Xiao Xiang, skilled in martial arts, pulled with some force, directly making Rong Yun retreat several steps.𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The sound of Rong Yun’s Cloud Brocade Jade Shoes scraping the ground seemed even more tragic, "Aunt! I don’t want my aunt to die! Aunt!"
