Chapter 731 Confrontation at the Golden Palace
The entrance of Taohua Dessert was packed with people.
The ordinary people and merchants who were watching were amazed and worried at the same time when they saw that Taohua Dessert dared to defeat Princess Mingyue.
Princess Mingyue's name is known to everyone in Shengjing because she is so arrogant and domineering.
In winter, she had her servants beat to death an old charcoal seller who ran into her carriage. She almost gouged out the eyes of a rich girl who looked at her twice too much. She quarreled with another playboy and rushed her horse across the street, destroying the stalls...
Anyone from Shengjing can name a few bad things Princess Mingyue did.
"I'm afraid that Peach Blossom Dessert will not end well if it faces the princess."
"The owner of Peach Blossom Desserts just came from Ningcheng. He doesn't know the princess's character, let alone what the consequences will be if he offends Prince Yu's Mansion. So why did Peach Blossom Desserts offend Princess Mingyue?"
"What else could it be? It's groundless. You know Princess Mingyue's style of doing things. She got angry when she saw her on the road. In my opinion, she is deliberately looking for trouble with Taohua Dessert."
"To be honest, I admire the owner and young owner of Taohua Dessert for standing up to Princess Mingyue. I just don't know if Taohua Dessert will still have a foothold in Shengjing after today. And Jufulai and Taohua Dessert have the same owner, so I wonder if both will be wiped out."
......
Onlookers and merchants were talking about it.
Especially the merchants, everyone feels insecure.
If Princess Mingyue can cause trouble at Peach Blossom Dessert today, she can cause trouble for other merchants tomorrow.
Some merchants who knew the inside story felt sorry for Tong Huaqiong, but they also felt that Tong Huaqiong was from a small place like Ningcheng and didn't know how to adapt. She had offended the princess. Since the princess wanted a pastry chef, why not just give him to her? Why offend Prince Yu's Mansion for a pastry chef?
After all, they are all ordinary people. How can their arms twist their thighs?
In Shengjing, there was no difference between Princess Mingyue crushing a civilian and crushing an ant.
"Give way."
"Give way."
The guards rushed in.
Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua shouted on the left and right that Prince Yu's Mansion was plotting a rebellion. The noise was so loud that the news quickly spread throughout the city. When the Imperial Guards heard the news of Prince Yu's Mansion's rebellion, they were so scared that they told the leader of the Imperial Guards.
The leader of the imperial guard was Su Chengmin, who had made great contributions both on the border and in protecting the crown prince.
Su Chengmin knew there must be something fishy going on, so he personally led his men to rush to Taohua Dessert.
At the same time, the emperor also learned the news in the palace.
The treason was serious, so Tong Huaqiong and others were taken to the palace by the Imperial Guards.
This is exactly the effect Tong Huaqiong wanted.
The Prince Yu's Mansion is not innocent in the least for raising the princess to have such a domineering personality. The old emperor is naturally sensitive and suspicious. This time, the Prince Yu's Mansion will be in big trouble.
When they arrived at the Golden Palace, Princess Mingyue looked at Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua with an expression of uncontrollable pride.
These two lowly merchants from the countryside are so short-sighted that they think the imperial palace is the vegetable market at the entrance of their village. They are so calm when they come to the palace, but they will cry later.
When she sees the emperor later, she will definitely not be soft-hearted. She will ask the emperor to chop off their heads.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help Xiyue. These two crazy women have slandered our Yuwang Mansion for treason and are trying to chop me with swords."
A bright yellow dragon robe flashed out, and Princess Mingyue was overjoyed. The smug look on her face disappeared, and she was replaced by anger and grievance, and fell to her knees with a thud.
The emperor is Princess Mingyue's uncle. He has always loved and doted on her, even more than the princess.
The emperor would agree to whatever she asked for.
Therefore, she was certain that the emperor would make the decision for her this time.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Xiyue." Princess Mingyue said in tears.
"This is how the same thing?"
What was different from before was that the old emperor had a calm expression on his face, and he looked at Princess Mingyue with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Princess Mingyue shuddered unconsciously.
Why is it that the imperial uncle who has always loved her is a little different from before?
"Uncle Emperor..." Princess Mingyue's voice was full of grievance.
"emperor."
Tong Huaqiong interrupted Princess Mingyue, raised his head and told the story again with exaggeration.
"Your Majesty, although I come from the countryside and don't understand the twists and turns of the city, I know who owns the world. So when the people from Prince Yu's Mansion said in my shop that everyone in Shengjing wants to join Prince Yu's Mansion and no one in the world dares to oppose Prince Yu's Mansion, I was scared to death. I am stupid and thought that these words meant that the world belongs to Prince Yu's Mansion. But the world clearly belongs to Your Majesty. Isn't this a rebellion?"
"I was so scared when I heard that. This was said in Peach Blossom Dessert. If it got out, people would think that Peach Blossom Dessert and Prince Yu's Mansion were in cahoots. I just came to Shengjing and had no one to discuss things with, and I was so scared that I started shouting at the door."
Tong Huaqiong patted his chest after saying this.
He looked frightened.
The old emperor's eyes turned colder when he looked at Princess Mingyue.
Princess Mingyue yelled at Tong Huaqiong: "When did my Yu Palace have the intention of rebellion? You are slandering me."
"Uncle Emperor, don't listen to her nonsense."
Gu Taohua said, "Who is talking nonsense? Didn't you say that no one in the world dares to oppose Prince Yu's Mansion? Eunuch Pan, I am stupid and you are knowledgeable. What do you mean by that?"
Gu Taohua looked at Eunuch Pan who was standing beside the emperor, with a look of thirst for knowledge on his face.
Eunuch Pan was stumped by Gu Taohua's question. He pondered in his heart that Prince Yu's Mansion was indeed too arrogant.
Even if there is no intention of rebellion, it is indeed presumptuous to say this.
Eunuch Pan just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. Gu Taohua didn't make things difficult for Eunuch Pan. Although she was asking Eunuch Pan this question, she was actually asking the person behind Eunuch Pan, the Emperor.
She didn't expect Eunuch Pan to give her an explanation.
Gu Taohua continued to say to Princess Mingyue: "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows if you in Prince Yu's Mansion say one thing but mean another. Your maids dare to say that no one in the world dares to oppose Prince Yu's Mansion. It is well known that servants act according to their masters' thoughts, which shows that what they say is what you think in your heart."
"Bitch, you're full of bullshit."
Princess Mingyue died unjustly, and there was no way to argue with her. She wanted to tear Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua apart.
Gu Taohua knelt on the ground and raised her eyebrows at Princess Mingyue.
Princess Mingyue was so angry that she went crazy.
Tong Huaqiong saw the interaction between the two.
Gu Taohua has hated Princess Mingyue from her previous life to this one.
In Tong Dajiao's memory, Gu Taohua had never recognized Princess Mingyue as her new sister-in-law in her previous life. Because Gu Jingzhe married Princess Mingyue, Gu Taohua stood on the opposite side of the Gu family for the first time.
She only recognizes Lu Zhaozhao as her sister-in-law.
Now Princess Mingyue is just a pastry chef who stole Taohua Desserts. If she dares to snatch Gu Jingzhe, Gu Taohua will probably really chop her to death with a sword.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yu requests to see you." After Eunuch Pan left, he quickly flashed in like a shadow and said in a low voice.
The Emperor said, "Let him in."
Soon, the fat Prince Yu walked in with a penguin step and knelt down in the hall with a plop.
"Your Majesty, please understand. I had an argument with Manager Tong at Peach Blossom Dessert over a pastry chef. The conversation led to some unpleasant words, which were then misinterpreted and directed by someone with ulterior motives," said Prince Yu.
Tong Huaqiong sneered. What a good guy who comes in and complains.
It’s a pity that the emperor’s seeds of suspicion have been planted and will not be removed so easily.
Especially since Prince Yu was a brother who was in direct competition with the emperor back then, he never had 100% trust in him.
Tong Huaqiong was just a female businessman from the countryside, and there was no benefit for her in bringing down Prince Yu.
In the eyes of the emperor, Tong Huaqiong simply thought that Prince Yu's Mansion was planning a rebellion and therefore shouted it out.
After all, it's normal for country people to act without any rules.
