Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 208 Is the Goddess really that pathetic?

Having finished speaking, Peach Blossom lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and awaited the judgment of the nobles in the hall.

Because of Mei Xingyue's stupidity, the food that could have lasted a month was squandered in less than seven days.

Now it has even sparked riots by displaced people, and all of this is an undeniable fact!

Even if Mei Xingyue tried to argue, the palace servants in the Eastern Palace had all the necessary accounts and records.

The prince not only felt ashamed, but also felt completely exhausted.

He couldn't understand why the woman he had admired for so many years would act this way, so stupidly that it was unbearable to look at her.

Has Xingyue changed, or has he never truly seen her at all?

The crown prince was utterly bewildered, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Mei Xingyue felt an immense fear, as if she were losing something important.

She gripped the prince's hand tightly, her foxy allure bursting forth in full force due to the tension, causing the prince to become somewhat dazed.

When he came to his senses after a while, the disgust in his eyes for Mei Xingyue faded a bit.

The Crown Prince grasped Mei Xingyue's hand in return, saying, "With me here, there is no need to worry."

The fact that the Crown Prince could still offer words of comfort made Mei Xingyue breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as the Crown Prince still cares about her, she will not lose her position as Crown Princess!

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and suddenly seemed to remember something.

She addressed the crowd, saying, "There's something I almost forgot. Now that all the court officials are here for the grand court assembly, I'll take this opportunity to inform you all."

Upon hearing this, all the officials looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, wondering what this Imperial Noble Consort was up to now.

She said, "The eldest princess has always been the Grand Clan Head, but since His Majesty bestowed the title, she has not been in charge of any affairs of the Imperial Clan Court."

"However, I recently heard that the eldest princess, in the name of the Grand Clan Order, issued a proclamation to all members of the imperial clan and concubines."

"It is said that the goddess Mei Xingyue is unworthy of her position, ugly in appearance, and crippled in both legs, and therefore cannot be the crown princess, much less marry into the Eastern Palace."

"They even said there would never be a place for her in the royal genealogy! Yue Li, is that true?"

Jiang Yueli stood before the officials and nodded slightly: "Indeed, it was my order."

Upon hearing this, Li An glanced gratefully at the princess.

The relationship between Mei Xingyue and the Crown Prince was an open secret throughout the court.

But Ang Lee could not accept that the murderer who killed his daughter would enter the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Princess!

Jiang Yueli, by using the Grand Clan Order to forbid Mei Xingyue from being listed in the Imperial Jade Tablet, fundamentally cut off her path to becoming the Crown Princess.

Mei Xingyue trembled with rage when the Imperial Noble Consort spoke of such a humiliating matter in front of the court officials in the Fengtian Hall.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at the eldest princess was filled with venom!

She held the prince's hand tightly, still clinging to hope.

The Crown Prince said that even he, the heir apparent, could not disobey the title of Grand Clan Chief, but once he ascended the throne, he could remove Jiang Yueli's title of Grand Clan Chief and reject her orders.

Even if Mei Xingyue doesn't become the Crown Princess, she can still become the Empress!

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Yue Li, I have a question. If the Crown Prince is no longer the heir apparent and is only a prince, would you be willing to let Mei Xingyue marry into the royal family?"

"I know that you, Yue Li, are wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Zhou royal family. After all, the Crown Princess is the future Empress. The Goddess has neither beauty nor talent, and is indeed unworthy to be the Crown Princess."

"But I see that the Crown Prince seems to be deeply in love with the Goddess. If the Crown Prince were to give up his position as heir apparent, could Yue Li make an exception and allow the Goddess to marry him?"

Jiang Yueli was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but after a moment's thought, she understood Bai Xiaoxiao's plan.

Zhou Wei was somewhat surprised to be standing at the end of the line.

The Imperial Noble Consort's previous actions were truly perplexing, making her seem like an enemy rather than a friend.

But those words just now made Zhou Wei and Jiang Yueli realize that this woman really intended to kill the Crown Prince!

Not only should Jiang Yueshan's position as crown prince be completely severed regarding the seven-day agreement, but the matter itself should also be taken seriously.

He even planned to sow discord among the women he loved!

Zhou Wei sighed inwardly: "Isn't what the Imperial Noble Consort meant by this? She just wants to use the princess to force Mei Xingyue to turn against the Crown Prince! If the princess gives in and the Crown Prince voluntarily gives up his position as heir apparent, then Mei Xingyue will still have a chance to marry into the royal family. Otherwise, she will never have a title in this lifetime."

Zhou Wei sneered inwardly; she was quite eager to see the main couple turn against each other.

However, the eldest princess and she had other plans for this matter.

Although they share the same goal as Bai Xiaoxiao, Zhou Wei and Jiang Yueli do not fight battles they are not confident of winning, nor do they place all their hopes on Bai Xiaoxiao.

The eldest princess naturally wouldn't answer in the same way as Bai Xiaoxiao.

"If the Crown Prince relinquishes his position as heir apparent..." The Eldest Princess glanced deeply at the Crown Prince and Mei Xingyue, "I will not allow Mei Xingyue to marry into the royal family!"

The eldest princess's clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the Fengtian Hall.

The Crown Prince and Mei Xingyue both glared at her angrily, while Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned and somewhat dazed.

He was clearly surprised that the eldest princess did not cooperate with him.

"Really? Does Yue Li think that the goddess Mei Xingyue is so worthless?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked.

“That’s right!” Jiang Yueli answered without hesitation. “Mei Xingyue is not only talentless and immoral, but also vicious. She doesn’t even care about propriety and shame. She had an affair with the Crown Prince and gave birth to three children.”

"Those three children, without any official status, are actually living with her in the Eastern Palace. Tell me, fellow courtiers, is there any justice in this world?"

"Let alone the royal family, even ordinary people have to consider their reputation and face. But my brother, along with that vixen Mei Xingyue, has no shame at all."

"Fortunately, only the officials in the court know about this. If the common people of the world knew, who knows how they would laugh at my Great Zhou Jiang Clan!"

"Does the Imperial Noble Consort believe that such a woman is fit to marry into the royal family of our Great Zhou?"

Mei Xingyue blushed red after being scolded by Jiang Yueli, and countless vicious words floated through her mind.

These were all the tricks she used in the village before she transmigrated, all of them targeting the lowest of the low!

Mei Xingyue assured that as long as she uttered those insults, Jiang Yueli, this unmarried woman, would be no match for her.

But her hand, hidden in her sleeve, was pinching her thigh hard, a reminder not to swear.

She is now a goddess and the prince's beloved. She must change her old habits from the village!

Mei Xingyue dared not utter a word of rebuttal, but the eldest princess had no intention of letting her off so easily.

"Besides these, this woman also spoiled and doted on her three children with the Crown Prince, raising them to be extremely wicked and evil people."

"His daughter, Jiang Nianmei, was vicious at a young age. She couldn't stand women who were more beautiful than her. She and her brothers, Jiang Nianyue and Jiang Nianxing, repeatedly committed atrocities against women and children."

"The two were cruel, and the people they tortured to death died in gruesome ways that were unbearable to look at."
