Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 327 No way to save the day

The Queen Mother had been silent for a long time, but Kang Xiaorong still did not respond. Eunuch Lian urged, "Young General, why don't you thank me quickly?"

Hearing this, Kang Xiaorong knelt down before the Queen Mother and said in a loud voice: "I kneel to thank the Queen Mother for the reward and the grace of rebirth. So in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the prince consort is just a slave who accompanies the princess in her pleasures? ... So in the eyes of the Queen Mother, I, Kang Xiaorong, am only worthy of being a male concubine who serves women?"

"How dare you! How dare you speak to the Queen Mother like that! Do you know that you have committed a capital crime?" Eunuch Lian's eyes widened and he yelled.

"Empress Dowager, if you are going to grant me such a favor, I am not afraid to die to 'thank you'." Although Kang Xiaorong was half-kneeling on the ground, he still held his back straight, looking imposing and unyielding.

The Queen Mother did not expect Kang Xiaorong to dare to openly contradict her. She swallowed her breath in anger and said, "I'm afraid the young general has misunderstood my intention. I..."

"No, Queen Mother, I heard you very clearly. I understand that you just want to choose a walking corpse for the princess to enjoy her lifelong pleasure." Kang Xiaorong no longer cared about the consequences. He had reached the limit of his tolerance.

If the Queen Mother pushed him and insulted him again, he didn't know what else he would do.

"Young General, if Tianning didn't like you, I would have executed you long ago," the Queen Mother said viciously.

At this time, Kang Xiaorong suddenly stood up and sneered, "Queen Mother, if you want to use the princess to slowly torture me to death, I would rather stick my head out now and let you cut me with the knife, and die a quick death."

When Eunuch Lian saw that he had stood up without the Queen Mother's permission, he thought he was going to rebel and shouted out in fear, "Someone come! Someone come!"

A large number of guards immediately rushed in from outside the door and surrounded Kang Xiaorong.

Kang Xiaorong sneered, "Empress Dowager, Eunuch Lian is loyal and obedient to you. Just let him be the consort of Princess Tianning! I guarantee he will be more competent than me and more in line with your wishes, Empress Dowager!"

Eunuch Lian is a eunuch who can't even marry a wife, so how can he be a royal consort? Kang Xiaorong's words not only mocked the Queen Mother, but also insulted Eunuch Lian. The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned blue, and Eunuch Lian was so anxious that he screamed.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and the guards all drew their swords in unison, holding the shiny blades tightly in their palms. Kang Xiaorong's instinct as a military commander made him subconsciously use his eyes to search for available weapons in this critical situation. He practiced swordplay in the yard in the morning, and when he returned to the house, he casually placed the sword on the table. His eyes turned and fell on the hilt of the sword outside the table.

When Eunuch Lian saw him looking at the sword, he rushed over and hugged the sword tightly in his arms, fearing that Kang Xiaorong would take it away.

This servant was quite clever. When he saw Kang Xiaorong's eyes turn, he immediately guessed what he was going to do. Kang Xiaorong cursed in his heart.

The eunuch's action of holding the sword made Kang Xiaorong look more like a traitor. Just as the situation was about to get out of control, the guards blocking the door suddenly dispersed.

The Queen Mother and Kang Xiaorong in the middle of the crowd subconsciously looked in the direction where the crowd was moving away. Before they saw the person coming, they heard a cool shout: "The princess has arrived, why don't you leave."

This was Yuemao's voice. Then, the weak figure of Princess Tianning appeared in the sight of the Queen Mother and Kang Xiaorong.

Compared to a large group of armored guards, Princess Tianning looked very weak and petite. She was so fragile that it seemed that anyone could hurt her, but not long ago, she was still the little queen mother who could call the wind and rain in the palace. Her change was because she had shed too many tears recently, and Kang Xiaorong had hurt her too deeply. There was no longer the pampering in her eyes, and when she spoke, her breath was weak, with a hint of tears.

"Mother..." Princess Tianning called softly at the door. She came to visit Kang Xiaorong, but she didn't expect to see a wonderful farce.

"Tianning?" The Queen Mother frowned. She felt sorry for Tianning, wondering how much suffering Kang Xiaorong had caused her precious daughter.

Princess Tianning glanced coldly at the sword-wielding guards around her and sternly shouted, "What are you all doing with swords? This is the Imperial Hospital, not a martial arts arena. Get out of here."

Even though Kang Xiaorong was the one who hurt her the most, she would not allow anyone else to hurt Kang Xiaorong. She herself did not know why she had poured all her feelings into a man who clearly did not love her. Even if she did not get any response, even if she did not get any gratitude, she was still willing to give for him and be hurt by him.

My only wish is to be with him forever.

"Princess..." When Eunuch Lian saw Princess Tianning looking upset, he hurried over to comfort her.

He had a prejudice against Kang Xiaorong and wanted to teach Kang Xiaorong a lesson by the guards, so that Kang Xiaorong would know that there were still rules and hierarchy in the palace. However, the appearance of Princess Tianning gave Kang Xiaorong a golden ticket to avoid death. As long as Princess Tianning was present, no one dared to hurt Kang Xiaorong. Wouldn't this make Kang Xiaorong even more arrogant?

Eunuch Lian was just trying to explain to Princess Tianning that it was not them who were making things difficult for Kang Xiaorong, but Kang Xiaorong himself who was ignorant and openly contradicted the Queen Mother. Before Eunuch Lian could speak, Princess Tianning's cold eyes moved to Eunuch Lian's face and said coldly: "Eunuch Lian, didn't you hear what I just said? Put down the sword in your hand."

Just now, after Princess Tianning said this, all the guards around put away their weapons obediently, only Eunuch Lian was still holding the sword tightly, forgetting to put it down.

Eunuch Lian glanced at the Queen Mother and asked for help with his eyes. He was trying to protect the Queen Mother, so he desperately held the sword that could become Kang Xiaorong's weapon.

The Queen Mother sighed softly, came to Princess Tianning, and said softly: "Tianning, who allowed you to speak to Eunuch Lian like this? The Queen Mother is standing here, and you dare to give orders? You are really getting more and more outrageous..."

Although these words were reproaches, they became gentle greetings after being spoken by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother did not severely reprimand Princess Tianning because she knew that Princess Tianning had suffered more than anyone else in the past few days. Seeing her beloved daughter trapped and hurt by love, how could the Queen Mother bear to severely reprimand her?

Eunuch Lian had originally hoped that the Empress Dowager would do him justice, but after hearing the Empress Dowager's soft reproaches, he knew that there was no hope of overturning the verdict and sighed secretly in his heart.

Princess Tianning responded to the Queen Mother: "Mother, Tianning is not giving orders, but is upholding justice for Brother Xiaorong. He was injured to protect his daughter, but you surrounded him with swords..."

Eunuch Lian interrupted, "Princess, you don't know that the servant just now wanted to rebel and murder the Queen Mother!"

He deliberately emphasized the seriousness of the situation, thinking that this would make Princess Tianning shut up. But Princess Tianning had long been fed up with Eunuch Lian's bullying attitude, and now she heard him falsely accusing Kang Xiaorong of being a traitor, and she couldn't help but get even angrier, and all the negative emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for days burst out.

She yelled at Eunuch Lian, "He is the prince consort, and you are the slave!"

The last two words "slave" were roared so loudly that the eunuch felt like he was standing in an earthquake. His body shook violently and he was about to fall down. He had served the Queen Mother for many years and was feared by everyone in the palace. No one dared to call him a slave. But now Princess Tianning slapped his old face in front of dozens of guards and the Queen Mother. His face had already turned pale.

"Tian Ning..." The Queen Mother suppressed her anger and glared at Princess Tian Ning, "You are so rude. How can you talk to Eunuch Lian like this?"

Princess Tianning was very angry and dared not listen to the Queen Mother. She turned her head away and stared at the wall beside her stubbornly.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she clenched her fists and her body trembled slightly. When Eunuch Lian saw that the Queen Mother was angry, he apologized in order to ease the atmosphere: "Yes, the princess is teaching me that I just overstepped my bounds and I deserve to die."

"No, Master Lian, you are not wrong, it is she who does not know the rules." The Queen Mother glared at Princess Tianning fiercely, waiting for her to apologize to her. But Princess Tianning stood there indifferently.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother's anger finally ignited, and she said sternly: "Tian Ning, are you dissatisfied with your mother? Everything your mother has done is for your lifelong happiness..."

As she spoke, she grabbed Princess Tianning's shoulders tightly, forcing her to turn around and look at her.

"No, no... I don't need it, I don't need it..." Princess Tianning struggled frantically in the shackles of the Queen Mother and almost overthrew her.

"Tianning! Tianning!" The Queen Mother shouted, trying to suppress Princess Tianning's resistance with her voice, "What are you talking about? What don't you need? Tianning!"

Princess Tianning waved away the Queen Mother, broke free from her arms, and yelled with tears on her face, "I...I...I won't get married! I won't get married!"

"Asshole!" The Queen Mother was so angry at Princess Tianning's words that her face turned blue. She chased after her, grabbed Princess Tianning's shoulders, and shouted, "Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated as a joke?"

"I won't get married...anyway, I won't get married..." Princess Tianning's voice gradually weakened amid the Queen Mother's harsh reprimand.

The Queen Mother's majesty would not tolerate provocation from anyone, not even Princess Tianning. The Queen Mother used both soft and hard tactics to force Kang Xiaorong to accept the marriage, but just when the plan was completed, Princess Tianning suddenly disobeyed her and rebelled against her. The Queen Mother was so angry that she said, "Anyway, the wedding date is set in two days. You have to marry me if you want to, and you have to marry me if you don't want to. You can't do whatever you want!"
