"Your Highness, you are right. I was careless. Your Highness, I am not the Princess yet. There is a difference between men and women! "
Murong Qiqi lowered her head and looked obedient. Yu Shishi felt better when she saw her like this. Anyway, she felt that Feng Cang was hugging Murong Qiqi. Her eyes hurt as if they were being pricked by needles.
Before Yu Shishi could enjoy herself for two seconds, Murong Qiqi fell into Feng Cang's arms again. "This is my family matter. There is no need for you to worry about it!"
A cold sentence directly fell over, piercing Yu Shishi's heart and making her feel pain. "Your Highness, I am doing this for your own good..."
Just as Yu Shishi's tears were about to fall, a gloomy voice came from behind her, "Beloved concubine, can't you put your concern for others on this consort's heart!"
"Your Highness!" Yu Shishi was shocked and her expression changed. Her previous grievance turned into a gentle and dignified one. Such a quick change made Murong Qiqi want to give him a thumbs up. Brilliant! What an expert! Changing faces faster than flipping a book!
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Yu Shishi turned around and was locked in Wanyan Hong's arms.
"I was worried about you!" Wanyan Hong glanced at Feng Cang and Wanyan Kang before his eyes fell on Yu Shishi's face. "Well, nothing is missing!"
These words made Yu Shishi extremely embarrassed. Murong Qiqi also saw the way this couple interacted with each other. However, Feng Cang did not say anything. Wanyan Kang was also looking at the ceiling and whistling a tune. Murong Qiqi simply continued to pretend to be a little rabbit.
When the Emperor, Empress, Concubine De and the rest arrived, Wanyan Baozhu and Mu Yudie had already changed into clean clothes. Their hair was neatly combed and they did not look as embarrassed as before.
"What's going on?"
Wanyan Lie looked at Yu Shishi. On the way here, Concubine De and Lin Kexin had already explained what happened. Now, it was Yu Shishi's turn to explain.
Yu Shishi briefly explained what happened and then said, "This daughter-in-law was far away and could not see clearly. Sunshine Princess is one of the parties involved. Father, you can ask her."
Looks like this woman really hates me! Hearing Yu Shishi's words, Murong Qiqi had already made a judgment on her. They pushed all the blame away, saying that they couldn't see clearly, and then they had nothing to do with it. Now, they pushed her out again. Did they really think that she was a pushover that anyone could bully?
"Qingqing, don't be afraid. Tell me what you saw." Feng Cang held Murong Qiqi's hand, seemingly cheering her on, but in reality, he was declaring to the crowd that he was on her side.
With Feng Cang's support, Murong Qiqi felt more confident. She pretended to recall what had just happened. Her face turned pale and her voice trembled. She pointed at Ning 'er, the palace maid beside Wanyan Baozhu. "Insects … so many insects … Then, I fell down. His Highness saved me."
It was truly impossible to guess the contents of this intermittent speech, and the listeners were even more baffled. They had no idea what this Zhao Yang Princess was trying to express. Wanyan Kang was the sharp-tongued one who translated Murong Qiqi's words.
"Imperial Father, it was this palace maid who threw the insects that were used to feed the fish at the Zhao Yang Princess. The Zhao Yang Princess was afraid and fell down when she retreated. As for how Miss Mu knocked my sister into the lake and how she was pulled into the water by my sister, I really don't know anything. "
Sly, so sly! Hearing Wanyan Kang's words, Murong Qiqi almost vomited blood. You already said that it was Mu Yudie who knocked Wanyan Baozhu into the water, and then she was pulled into the water by Wanyan Baozhu. In the end, you still say that you don't know anything? This Fifth Prince is really sly.
With Wanyan Kang's testimony, the truth of falling into the water was revealed. Wanyan Baozhu and Mu Yudie didn't say anything, and only glared at each other.
"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're safe!" Empress Li Bing tried to smooth things over. As long as this matter had nothing to do with Yu Shishi, she could rest assured. Empress Li Bing wanted to let this matter pass, but there was someone who was unwilling.
"Alas, this pitiful girl must have been scared to death!" Seeing Murong Qiqi's appearance, Lin Kexin's words were full of heartache, "Your Majesty, it's all this concubine's fault. This concubine's body is weak, and after a few breaths, I had a terrible headache. I could only let the Crown Princess take care of them, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen — —"
With one sentence, she pushed all the blame onto Yu Shishi. This Yu Shishi was the Crown Princess, the daughter-in-law of Empress Li Bing. How could Concubine De let her off easily?
Hearing Lin Kexin's words, Wanyan Lie nodded, "Crown Princess, you are also responsible for this matter. Go back and reflect on your mistakes for a month! As for the palace maid Ning 'er, since she offended her superiors, drag her out and beat her to death! "
"This concubine's wife understands." Yu Shishi's face turned pale and her body swayed. It clearly had nothing to do with her, so why was she the one being punished!
As for Ning 'er, he was even more miserable. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! This concubine knows she was wrong, please spare me! "
Seeing that her Imperial Father was going to execute Ning 'er, Wanyan Baozhu panicked, "Imperial Father, Ning' er didn't do it on purpose! This wasn't Ning 'er's fault, it was I who asked her to get the fish feed! Imperial Father, please spare me! Ning 'er has served me since I was young, I'm used to it. Imperial Father, please don't kill Ning' er! Imperial Father, please spare me! "
The Emperor's words carried enormous weight. Since he had opened his mouth, he naturally couldn't take it back. Thus, Wanyan Lie didn't soften his daughter's tears. Instead, the Empress and Concubine De pleaded for Wanyan Baozhu at the same time, which made Wanyan Lie's frown slightly loosen.
"Your Majesty, since this matter is related to the Sunshine Princess, why don't we listen to her opinion? What do you think?" Lin Kexin was Wanyan Lie's lover after all, so even the slightest movement of his was clearly seen through by Lin Kexin. Seeing that Wanyan Lie wanted to keep Ning 'er alive, but because he had already spoken, he couldn't go back on his word. Thus, Lin Kexin helped Wanyan Lie find a way out.
In the end, the ball was kicked back to Murong Qiqi. Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the better, Wanyan Baozhu hurriedly asked Ning 'er to beg Murong Qiqi.
Although Ning 'er's face was streaked with tears, Murong Qiqi didn't see a trace of remorse in her eyes. Even Wanyan Baozhu seemed to be relieved, thinking that she wouldn't dare to do anything to Ning' er.
