Chapter 1529: Her Highness the Princess (79)

Yun Huayin was thrown over the wall by two guards from the Princess Residence, landing hard on her backside.

Passersby who saw someone suddenly being tossed out were all shocked.

After overhearing the exchange between Yun Huayin and Tang Guo, they immediately understood.

This woman had offended the Grand Princess.

“Who is she?”

“Judging by the way she speaks, she doesn't seem to be from Northern Xia.”

“And she was thrown out by the Grand Princess herself.”

“She must have done something terrible and angered Her Highness. Otherwise, why would she be thrown out? The Grand Princess has always been reasonable. If you don't provoke her, she would never treat anyone so rudely.”

Unable to endure the gossip, Yun Huayin stamped her foot, climbed up from the ground, and stormed off.

Yingzhu cautiously observed Tang Guo's expression. Seeing that her face remained calm and untroubled, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your Highness, when the Imperial Preceptor returns to the residence, should we send someone to inform him?”

“No need. Yun Huayin will certainly inquire about his whereabouts. Before he returns, she'll already have found him.” Tang Guo leisurely sipped her tea. “Such a trivial matter should be left for him to deal with himself.”

Huh?

Yingzhu was somewhat surprised.

So Her Highness truly wasn't angry.

“Your Highness isn't upset?”

“What am I supposed to be upset about?”

Lowering her voice, Yingzhu said, “That woman appeared from nowhere, and judging by her words, she seems to share an extraordinary relationship with the Imperial Preceptor. She even spoke disrespectfully to Your Highness. This servant thought you might be angry with the Imperial Preceptor.”

“He already told me about her and explained their relationship.”

“Your Highness trusts the Imperial Preceptor that much?”

Tang Guo raised her head and smiled.

“He would never lie to me. If he ever dared lie, then next time we tour the various kingdoms, we simply won't bring him along. Just imagine how anxiously he'd cry.”

Yingzhu couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, she understood that a mere Yun Huayin could never shake the trust the Imperial Preceptor had painstakingly built in Her Highness's heart over the years.

But she also understood that if the Imperial Preceptor became entangled with Yun Huayin without end, her mistress would coldly and mercilessly cast him aside.

System: What a tragic man.

Hopefully, he won't betray Host's trust. In this world, there were only a handful of people whom Host was willing to trust enough to bring along on her travels.

【Host, should I monitor what Yun Huayin says to Yun Buxiu? I can give you a live broadcast.】

“No need. I'm not interested.”

As the sun gradually descended, beautiful crimson clouds spread across the horizon.

Tang Guo sat leisurely in her wicker chair, eating grapes while admiring the rare and beautiful scene. Yingzhu accompanied her, though she could never quite understand what her mistress was thinking.

But she had never tried to pry too deeply or presumptuously guess Her Highness's intentions.

Suddenly, she remembered Juanzhu's fate.

Juanzhu had always liked making decisions on her own. For the sake of her petty ambitions, she had eventually been abandoned by Her Highness.

Later, she even helped Lü Qing provide false testimony and committed the crime of deceiving the throne. In consideration of the fact that she had once served as the chief maid by Her Highness's side, the Emperor had granted her a strip of white silk.

It was said that before Juanzhu was strangled to death, she had loudly cried out that Lü Qing had forced her into it.

When no one paid attention to her, she called out for Her Highness, her face pale and body trembling as she begged Her Highness to save her life.

She had reached this end by walking down that path one step at a time.

Yingzhu felt not the slightest sympathy.

Instead, she arrived at a conclusion.
