396 The Sixth Princess Had Gone Too Far
“The princess has said that Lady Gu is a person who has rendered meritorious service. I believe that Prince Heng will not fight with Lady Gu for a carriage,” Miao Yin explained calmly.
Princess Liuying was already displeased. Now that she heard this, she almost lost her mind due to excessive anger. “One of us a prince and the other is a princess. Who does she, Gu Qingxue, think she is? How dare she be disrespectful to us?! Get someone to clean up my father’s horse immediately. Otherwise, be careful that I..”
“Be careful of what, princess? Sister Gu was a person who helped cure the plague. My father had personally appointed her to the palace to be rewarded. This time, when she returned to the Jing City, my father naturally had to think highly of Sister Gu. If you have any objections, they would not be against Sister Gu alone. It would be against my father’s decree.” Gong Lingyu had finished everything, but just as she rushed over, she heard Princess Liuying spouting nonsense again.
Gong Lingyu had always been cautious in front of Princess Liuying. She was not a person who liked to be competitive. She would only be extra calculative when it came to matters related to Gu Qingxue.
Especially after she had dissed Princess Liuying previously, she felt that this was indeed a good feeling. Naturally, she would not be polite to Princess Liuying now.
When Prince Heng Heard Gong Lingyu’s words, his expression became even gloomier.
Gong Lingyu did not wait for Gong Lingyu to flare up at all. She had a smile on her face, she said to Prince Heng, “Prince Heng, because of the negligence of the prince and Imperial Physician Qin this time, more people were almost killed. When father learned of this matter, he was extremely displeased. I arranged this so that Prince Heng could perform more in front of my father. I believe that Prince Heng can also understand my painstaking efforts, right?”
Prince Heng saw that Gong Lingyu’s words were dignified, and his face was not red nor did his heart skip a beat. His heart was filled with strong dissatisfaction, and he almost wanted to rush forward and teach Gong Lingyu a lesson.
However, Prince Heng could not. He was completely different from Gu Qingxue. This time, he had returned with a guilty conscience. It was already good enough that he was not punished by the emperor, so how could he dare to be arrogant?
He had no choice but to shrink his neck, and Prince Heng nodded. “The princess has arranged everything very well. In fact, even if the princess did not arrange it, I was planning to do so. Princess, please get on the carriage. We will take this carriage and follow behind you from a distance.”
Gong Lingyu knew that Prince Heng cared about his reputation. She was not surprised by his answer at all. She calmly took large strides and left.
Princess Liuying stomped her feet in anger. She knew that she could not resist, so her face fell and she refused to get on the carriage no matter what. “Father, why did you agree to the sixth princess? I don’t want to sit in a carriage that only poor people use!”
Prince Heng glanced at Princess Liuying in annoyance. Deep dissatisfaction was hidden in his eyes. “Do you think I’m willing? Stop talking about this and quickly get on the carriage!”
Princess Liuying instantly felt even more wronged. She stomped her feet unwillingly and then resigned herself to her fate and got into the carriage.
Imperial Physician Qin followed silently. After getting into the carriage, he realized that inside the carriage actually looked even smaller. The three of them sat on the left, right, and main seats of the carriage. Even if they did not stretch their arms or legs, the carriage was still filled to the brim.
“This sixth princess is a little too much.” Prince Heng raised Gong Lingyu and his expression was extremely gloomy.
From his point of view, Gong Lingyu’s words and actions were full of contempt for him.
