Chapter 943: 430 Savagely Beating the Crown Princess (Second Update) Chapter 943: 430 Savagely Beating the Crown Princess (Second Update) The crown princess recognized him.

The shadow guard who would rather give the thousand-year ginseng to Gu Jiao than to her.

The crown princess still remembered that embarrassment to this day.

A guard like this who didn’t obey orders would have long been driven out of the East Palace by the crown prince.

The crown princess maintained basic courtesies on the surface, “Please announce my arrival. I wish to see the princess.”

Long Yi didn’t move.

The crown princess choked a bit, “I haven’t seen you before and should have done nothing to displease you. Is there some misunderstanding between us?”

Long Yi continued to stand unwaveringly still.

The crown princess had never seen the Dragon Shadow Guard and didn’t know Long Yi was one, taking this man as intentionally opposing her.

She speculated that if Princess Xinyang really had awakened, she must have heard the commotion at the door. Since she didn’t come out, she must not have awakened.

Forget it, she shouldn’t be arguing with a shadow guard and lose her dignity.

The crown princess turned to leave, just stepping out of the courtyard, colliding unexpectedly with Gu Jiao rushing over from Bishui Alley.

The crown princess got a severe shock, “You? How come you are here? Are you—” She looked at Gu Jiao and then back at the mansion behind her, asking uncertainly, “Here for this place?”

Gu Jiao looked her up and down, clearly also wanting to ask why the crown princess was here.

The crown princess indifferently said, “I asked you a question.”

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “Must I answer because you asked?”

The crown princess, already frustrated from being snubbed by Long Yi and now ridiculed by Gu Jiao, couldn’t help but get angry, “Miss Gu, no doubt you have the love of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but how long will that last? Once the crown prince ascends to the throne, I will be the Empress. I have no intention of making things difficult for you, but don’t leave yourself without a way out.”

That familiar tone, those identical phrases.

Where had she heard them before?

Ah.

Prince Ning.

So, where in the world were there walls that didn’t let any wind through? Where could fire be wrapped in paper without being known?

When one person has an unclear and indescribable relationship with another, each word and action inadvertently permeates the other’s habits.

Yujin’s timely appearance broke the tense deadlock.

“Doctor Gu has arrived, please come inside and have a seat,” she said with a smile, then to the crown princess, “Doctor Gu is the physician I’ve invited from the Medical Hall to treat the princess’s illness.”

“I see,” said the crown princess, withdrawing her gaze from Gu Jiao’s face, “Then once the princess awakens, I’ll come to see her.”

With that, the crown princess crossed the threshold.

As she brushed past Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao asked subconsciously, “Does Xiao Liulang’s disappearance have anything to do with you?”

Gu Jiao asked casually.

Who would expect that the crown princess would stiffen so guiltily?

Gu Jiao keenly detected her anomaly, grabbed her arm and yanked her back, “Make it clear!”

The crown princess’s back hit the wall painfully, and what was more lethal was that this posture made her feel her status was offended. She said in a cold voice, “How presumptuous!”

Her guilty look didn’t escape Gu Jiao’s eyes.

Gu Jiao grabbed her by the collar with no courtesy and shoved her against the wall, her gaze icy as she looked at her, “I don’t care if you’re the crown princess or the Empress, don’t push me to take action.”

“You wouldn’t dare––––”

Slap!

Gu Jiao swung back her hand and slapped her to the ground!

Yujin inhaled sharply!

The accompanying guards from the East Palace rushed in but were kicked out by Gu Jiao!

Gu Jiao picked up the crown princess from the ground, “Who did it? Was it you, or is there an accomplice?”

The crown princess gritted her teeth, “I did nothing! Release me!”

Princess Xinyang was startled out by the loud commotion.

“Stop!”

Princess Xinyang came out with her hair disheveled, likely just having gotten out of bed, without having time to dress up.

But Gu Jiao was not going to stop. This wasn’t just a small mishap like scaring her husband with a cat; this was genuinely a matter of nearly costing her husband’s life.

She was furious! The consequences were severe!

Gu Jiao started banging the crown princess against the ground!

Princess Xinyang could never have dreamed that Xiao Hen would marry such a savage woman. She gasped, “I told you to stop! Didn’t you hear me? If you keep this up, I won’t be polite to you!”

Gu Jiao was also angry.

Hmph!

Do whatever!

This girl’s ability to infuriate without consequence was truly just like Long Yi’s!

Princess Xinyang clenched her fists and shouted loudly, “Long Yi, pull those two apart!”

Since Princess Xinyang gave the order, Long Yi had to intervene.

To prevent Long Yi from misinterpreting again, Princess Xinyang changed what she was originally going to say, “Long Yi, take action,” into separating them.
