Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Grounded_1 Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Grounded_1 Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang were complaining about Yao Xian’s ruthless actions. Yao Xian, with a somber face, lay in bed listening to Emperor Yongan’s scolding.
She had already returned to Yuexian Palace and taken her medicine, yet she still felt some pain in her belly.
The emperor’s scolding, mixed with the residual ache in her belly, ignited an involuntary flame of disgust in her heart.
“Even if you have issues with Qiao Xiaomai, couldn’t you inform me first? To frame her directly like this, you have truly thrown away our royal family’s dignity!”
Upon hearing this, Yao Xian felt a sting in her heart and couldn’t help but retort, “Every time you tasted those foods, you were all smiles. Who knew you actually didn’t like them!”
Emperor Yongan liked them, yet she insisted on singing a different tune. Wasn’t this just asking for the emperor’s disdain?
She stealthily sent Qiao Xiaomai to the Sky Prison, then exposed Qiao Xiaomai’s deception of Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao, Yang Ye. By then, she would be the one with great merit; she would have made a significant contribution.
Her line of thought was not wrong at all.
Emperor Yongan “…”
He choked–was it his fault for being a good actor?
Even Yang Wenxiao could tell that he didn’t actually like the things Qiao Xiaomai made, yet Yao Xian, his first wife, failed to notice. It was evident she did not care enough for him. And now, she was even standing her ground?
She even started blaming him!
“You are to reflect on your actions under house arrest for five days!” With that, Emperor Yongan stormed out of Yuexian Palace Main Hall in fury.
The moment he left, Yang Hao, who had been waiting outside the hall, immediately stepped in.
Seeing Yang Hao, Yao Xian felt aggrieved and couldn’t help but burst into tears. “Can you blame me? I was also worried that Qiao Xiaomai, the demoness, had bewitched you and the retired emperor. I feared that her staying in the Palace would cause even greater disturbances, so I thought it best to strike first.”
“I did it for the benefit of Daqi, for the Royal family, not for myself!”
“I didn’t mention it before because I was afraid you would all be upset! You and the retired emperor were extremely pleased with her, including your father. Everyone was satisfied with her skills. If I suddenly stepped out and accused her of being a demoness, who would believe me?”
“I could only secretly plan this, and explain it to you after the fact!”
Her words made a lot of sense. After hearing them, Yang Hao sighed softly and consoled her, “I understand this point. Father is just angry right now and hasn’t thought of that. Let me explain it to him, and he will surely stop being angry.”
“There’s no need to explain! If he’s angry, let him be angry!” The more Yao Xian thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she simply turned over, her back facing Yang Hao, and started quietly crying without saying a word.
Among the princes, the most threatening, Yang Wang, was already finished. Aside from Yang Ye and Yang Hao, the other two princes were either crippled or too young. Yang Hao’s ascension to the throne was a certainty, her position secured, and she no longer needed to humble herself to please Emperor Yongan.
Let him be angry!
But as for Qiao Xiaomai, she wouldn’t let her off easily.
With that seductive fox-like face–clearly up to no good.
She had been embarrassed publicly and berated for no reason; this affair was far from over.
Yang Hao, unaware of Yao Xian’s inner thoughts and thinking that she felt wronged because her good intentions were mistaken for meddling, comforted her a few more times before rising to find Emperor Yongan.
Emperor Yongan was indeed fuming, but after hearing Yang Hao’s words, he redefined Yao Xian’s actions in his mind.
“If that’s the case, then her actions were well-intentioned. However, employing poisoning and framing tactics are not permissible in the Palace, so a five-day house arrest it is.”
