Chapter 51: Will Never Be Forgiven Lightly

Will Never Be Forgiven Lightly

Zhang Guifei and Yin Fengzhan's birth mother, Noble Consort Ning, were cousins. After Noble Consort Ning passed away from illness, the three-year-old Yin Fengzhan was sent to Yongxin Palace. Therefore, rather than saying Zhang Guifei was Yin Fengzhan's aunt, in Yin Fengzhan's heart, she was more like a mother than Noble Consort Ning had been. Thus, Yin Fengzhan held Zhang Guifei in exceptionally high regard.

Thinking of this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but frown, then raised her eyes to glare at the man before her.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I haven't prepared anything!"

Zhang Guifei's birthday banquet—this matter was neither big nor small, but as a junior, one always had to prepare some gifts! But now, already sitting in the carriage to the Imperial Palace, Nie Jinxuan only just learned of this. Where was she supposed to find a gift? Rather than going empty-handed, it would be better not to go at all!

Nie Jinxuan was fuming, but hearing this, Yin Fengzhan didn't even look at her as he said directly:

"This Prince has already prepared everything!"

"You... then why did you make me come?"

It would have been better if Yin Fengzhan hadn't spoken; saying this made Nie Jinxuan's face flush red with anger! Only then did Yin Fengzhan slowly raise his eyes, meeting Nie Jinxuan's gaze directly.

"Aunt wants to see you!"

With one sentence, Yin Fengzhan answered all of Nie Jinxuan's questions. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, whose face had been flushed red with anger, couldn't help but be stunned.

"... Why?"

Zhang Guifei wanted to see her?! If Nie Jinxuan remembered correctly, when she first married into the Chen Wangfu, Yin Fengzhan hadn't even taken her into the palace. Now, half a year later, and at a time when their relationship was not very good, why would Zhang Guifei suddenly want to see her?!

And what kind of matter could stir Zhang Guifei, who was in the inner palace, to personally have Yin Fengzhan bring her over?

Could it be about Yin Fengzhan?

Instantly, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but frown as she looked at Yin Fengzhan. But Yin Fengzhan said nothing. After watching her quietly for a long while, he suddenly said coldly:

"You don't need to worry about the reason. But this Prince warns you: the Imperial Palace is not like the Wangfu, so you had best put away your temper. At the same time, you are not allowed to contradict Aunt by even half a sentence, otherwise, this Prince will never forgive you lightly!"

"Never forgive lightly? Then may I ask, Prince, do you intend to strangle me this time, or break my legs?"

Yin Fengzhan's words carried threats and warnings. But as soon as this was said, Nie Jinxuan's anger, which had slightly subsided, was instantly ignited again. Nie Jinxuan narrowed her eyes, gave Yin Fengzhan an angry and disdainful look, and then called out loudly to the outside:

"Stop the carriage, I want to get off!"

As she spoke, Nie Jinxuan actually made a move to rise from her seat, but the moment she rose, she was pulled back by Yin Fengzhan.

"Nie Jinxuan, get back here!"

Yin Fengzhan issued another warning, then leaned over and pressed her down.

"Do not think this Prince has no way to deal with you. I haven't moved against you before because you still have your uses! But this Prince's patience is limited!"

Pressing Nie Jinxuan between himself and the carriage's soft couch, Yin Fengzhan spoke word by word. The proximity allowed Nie Jinxuan to clearly hear his low voice while feeling the provocative hot breath blowing against her cheek. Instantly, Nie Jinxuan reflexively wanted to struggle, but was instead pressed even tighter by Yin Fengzhan.

"And this time entering the palace, if you dare to do anything disrespectful to Aunt, don't blame this Prince for not warning you!"

Eye to eye, Yin Fengzhan's voice was as cold as it could be. Having said this, he didn't wait for Nie Jinxuan to say anything; he sat up, lifted the carriage curtain, and stepped out.

"Get down, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace!" ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
