Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 906

Chapter 906: Chapter 906: Fearless with Backup_1

Jiang Ning lowered his head, not daring to utter a word.

Li Hongyuan then spoke: “Emperor Father, this matter is entirely due to Princess Ling’an’s imperious behavior; it has little to do with the Princess Consort.”

The Emperor scoffed coldly: “Just a few words of admonishment from me and you can’t bear it? Considering this, why did you throw Ling’an into the Crystal Clear Manor? Are you deliberately causing friction between the Princess of Ling’an and the Princess Consort? Crown Prince, have you lost your senses, or are you being malicious?”

Jiang Ning glanced at Li Hongyuan, thinking to herself that a father and son duo was still, in the end, a father and son duo.

The Emperor was able to guess the Crown Prince’s intentions with an accuracy of 80 to 90 percent, and the Crown Prince was also clear about the Emperor’s motive for forcing Ling’an into the East Palace.

No matter how overbearing Ling’an was, she was simply a young brat who could perform a few fancy martial arts moves, nothing worth their serious attention.

What they really cared about, was the person standing behind Princess Ling’an.

That person was the Prince of Wutong.

Both the father and son needed the Prince of Wutong, but they didn’t want him to become too domineering, so they planned to use the Prince of Wutong’s only daughter to restrain him.

If anyone in the Palace could possibly control Princess Ling’an, other than Princess Consort Jiang Ning, there was no one else.

The Princess Consort was from the Jiang Family, with her own father as the Senior Grand Secretary in the Imperial Court, and the support of a great general, she was the only one who didn’t have to yield to Princess Ling’an.

In short, their goal was for Jiang Ning to deal with Princess Ling’an.

Who knew that Jiang Ning simply wasn’t interested in playing along.

She had already understood, despite how angry the Emperor was or how fiercely he scolded, that couldn’t hide the true nature of the issue.

Princess Ling’an was nothing more than a pitiful pawn. Jiang Ning didn’t at all feel inclined to do anything to her.

Most importantly, she didn’t want to willingly be used by the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

However, unfortunately, Princess Ling’an was simplistic and infatuated with the Crown Prince. She was easily instigated by others, causing more trouble not long afterwards.

The Emperor’s pomposity didn’t faze Li Hongyuan, who remained calm: “Emperor Father, regarding this issue, we must first investigate who was the instigator behind Princess Ling’an’s actions, causing her to create a disturbance in the East Palace.”

The Emperor calmed down, but his face remained stern: “The East Palace treated her harshly, she’s used to being pampered, so it’s only normal for her to throw a fit. How can you be so sure that she was being manipulated?”

Li Hongyuan responded: “If we interrogate Shuihua, we will know.”

Ever since the Empress fainted, and the Emperor arrived, Princess Ling’an, who had been silent and shrunken in a corner, suddenly raised her head: “What if the confession is beaten out of her?”

Li Hongyuan said: “Ling’an, there is no need for you to be so nervous before an investigation.”

“Hmph.” Princess Ling’an pouted, “Do whatever you want, interrogate however you wish, I’ve done nothing wrong and I’m not scared. I was just angry for a moment and retaliated against Li Yuanyuan. Your Majesty, you can’t punish me over such a trivial matter, right?”

Her last few words carried a strong tone of acting like a spoiled child.

The Emperor grunted heavily, ignoring her.

War was imminent with Silla, Rouran and Great Sheng. Although Jiang Mubai had already set off, the Prince of Wutong still held some military power and needed to transfer troops from his command.

Although Princess Ling’an was foolish, she knew that the Imperial Court urgently needed her own father’s help, so neither the Emperor nor the Crown Prince dared to offend him.

This was the source of her audacious and willful behavior.

So what if she attacked your Side Concubine?

What could you do to me?

If my father doesn’t agree to send troops, no matter how capable Jiang Mubai is, without any soldiers to command, what kind of war could he fight?

Otherwise, why not just punish me directly, and instead investigate the alleged mastermind behind the scenes?

It was clear that they didn’t want to penalize her and were actually looking for excuses to pardon her.

With these thoughts in mind, Princess Ling’an became even more smug and confident.
