Chapter 194
Lin Feilu looked at her pitifully, “Consort Mei, why did you take Yuyin away? She is a palace maid that was granted to me by my father, so please return her to me.”
Consort Mei responded cruelly, “I don’t know who you are talking about, and she is not here either!”
Lin Feilu’s eyes were tearing up, choking back sobs as she said, “I saw it all. They took her away.”
She pointed at the two eunuchs next to her.
The two eunuchs trembled and lowered their heads with a guilty conscience.
Consort Mei responded coldly, “You are mistaken. This Consort needs to rest, so please go back, Fifth Princess.”
Lin Feilu looked like she was about to cry, and Consort Mei became more livid as she looked at her. She really wanted to tear off the face of the little brat who knew how to fake a drama. She turned around and took two deep breaths before she said in a hashly sinister tone, “Xixiang, send off the guest!”
Xixiang just walked two steps forward when Lin Feilu, who was standing in the courtyard, suddenly ran forward. She ran to the feet of Concubine Mei and hugged her leg, not willing to leave, “Give her back to me! Return Yuyin back to me! Why did you take my palace maid! You bad woman!”
Consort Mei was so angry that she no longer had a firm grasp of reasoning. She just kicked the little girl over without even thinking about it.
In fact, it was not really a kick. She just swatted her leg, trying to make her lose her balance.
Unexpectedly, the little girl fell to the ground with a yelp, before she curled up her body and started to cry.
Consort Mei hadn’t even reacted when she heard an enraged tone from the courtyard, “Presumptuous!”
Consort Mei looked up and when she saw Emperor Lin, who was approaching quickly, her legs softened and she knelt down immediately. The surrounding people of the Yinshuang Palace all knelt tremblingly, whereas Emperor Lin rushed straight to Lin Feilu who had fallen on the ground. When he picked her up, he found her sweaty and pale, where she looked scared and uncomfortable.
Emperor Lin was really angry and distressed. He turned his head and looked at Consort Mei, who was kneeling on the side. When he saw the terrible scar on her face, he shuddered and looked away.
The Little Fifth Princess cried in the Emperor’s arms as she trembled and weeped, “Father, can you ask Consort Mei to return Yuyin to me?”
Qingyan had already explained the matter when she went to invite Emperor Lin. He was informed that the servants of Consort Mei took away the palace maid of the Mingyue Palace. This palace maid had a good relationship with the Fifth Princess, so the Fifth Princess had gone over to get her maid back.
Listening to her at this moment, he immediately asked, “Where is the maid? Hand her over now!”
Consort Mei trembled and refused to admit anything, “This Consort doesn’t know who the Princess is talking about. I haven’t seen her either!”
The words uttered by children were naturally more trustworthy than that of adults.
Emperor Lin stood up as he held the small girl, coldly ordering the guards who arrived together as his entourage, “Search this place for me! If she’s alive, I want to see her found; if she’s dead, I demand to see her corpse!”
After hearing this, Consort Mei’s body lost her strength and she was immediately paralyzed.
Emperor Lin gave her a cold glare before he walked out of the Yinshuang Palace in large strides, all the while carrying the Little Fifth Princess.
He directly took the girl to the Yangxin Palace, summoning the Imperial doctor for Lin Feilu to be treated. Fortunately, the Little Fifth Princess was only frightened and in a state of shock. Otherwise, nothing serious happened to her.
