Pacify Her

Li Jixian hurriedly said, “This humble official understands.”
The Emperor waved his hand, and Li Jixian turned and left by himself.
In fact, his injury was not serious, just some bruises and swelling on his face that looked quite miserable, not to the point where he couldn’t walk. Having himself carried here was nothing more than an attempt to gain the Emperor’s sympathy.
The Emperor knew this very well.
After returning to the East Palace, Li Jixian furiously smashed a few of his favorite official porcelain objects. He then scolded Ms. Ma harshly while pointing at her nose.
The servants were far away from the room, unable to hear what was being said. Ms. Ma knelt on the ground, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, “My lord, I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry.”
“Vile woman!” Li Jixian endured the pain on his swollen face, growing angrier as he thought about it, “Who allowed you to eavesdrop outside? If you hadn’t rushed in halfway and listened to the Princess Consort of Yu’s instigation, how could things have escalated to this point!”
Ms. Ma sobbed, “I was just confused at the moment, thinking that if you really took her, in the future…”
“Fool! That was just a lie to coax her, do you take it seriously?”
“Yes, I was just not thinking clearly at that moment… It’s all because of that woman, the Princess Consort of Yu, who is so silver-tongued.” Ms. Ma cried, “I will never listen to her again.”
” ‘Again’? Do you think there will be a ‘next time’?”
“I don’t understand what you mean, my lord.”
“Fool, if you were half as clever as Jiang Ning, I would think more highly of you.” Li Jixian touched the wound on his face, his expression darkened, “I had planned to make things a done deal and settle the matter. I didn’t expect for her to completely disregard her own reputation and run to the Emperor Father to complain.”
“How dare she? If this gets out, she might as well be dead.” Ms. Ma frowned.
In her opinion, a woman’s reputation is the most important.
Once the Crown Prince had taken her body, in addition to making some threats and enticements, she, a woman with a lame leg, would naturally have obediently submitted. Who knew she would be so obstinate?
They never anticipated that things would escalate to this point.
Isn’t it just a woman?
Isn’t it just a crippled woman?
How could she have such courage to resist?
And not hesitate to complain to the Emperor?
Li Jixian was close to exploding with anger.
His usual smiling face was now completely replaced by a gloomy, frosty expression.
“Emperor Father scolded me severely. He even said that if I can’t resolve this matter and gain Princess Consort of Yu’s forgiveness, and if the royal reputation is damaged, I might as well abdicate and give the Crown Prince title to Prince of Yu.”
Ms. Ma trembled, “No, can it be true? Can the Crown Prince’s position be easily changed?”
“What do you think? Whoever Emperor Father wants to succeed will succeed!” Li Jixian’s face was dark, “Jiang Ning, oh Jiang Ning, well done, very well done.” Ms. Ma whispered, “Your Highness, why not just have someone eliminate her?” “Shut up.” Li Jixian said coldly, “I haven’t had her yet, how can I eliminate her.” Ms. Ma found it hard to believe, “After all she has done to you, how can you still be interested in her?”
“What do you know.”
“My Lord, maybe it’s better to let this go? This woman is not easy to deal with.
After all, she has the Jiang Family behind her, and in case things get out of hand… Prime Minister Jiang is not someone to be trifled with.”
“I know.” Li Jixian slowly calmed himself down.
“Will you visit the Prince of Yu’s residence tomorrow, my lord?”
“Go, of course I will go..” Li Jixian smirked, “If I don’t go, how can I get her forgiveness?”
