To complain
This action almost caused Ji Muqing's tears to fall from her eyes in anger.
Her hands gripped the bedsheets tightly, but no matter how angry she was, her rationality still suppressed her impulsiveness. She knew that she was now a Princess. Who knows how many people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself? And the person who wanted to see her make a fool of herself the most was this woman in front of her.
No!
She had to endure.
Thus, she slowly suppressed the anger in her belly, restrained her tone, and said, "You've seen it now. This consort is fine, you can go."
This change in attitude was too fast.
Chen Xiang seemed to be plotting something in her heart. She said, "But Cailan said that Younger Sister had a fall, and this fall can be light or heavy. No matter what, we have to get a doctor to take a good look at you."
"No need."
"It's safer to take a look, just in case …"
"I already said there's no need!" Ji Yunshu's tone became heavier as she pointed at the door. "Hurry up and leave."
"Sister, why are you so stubborn? Being injured isn't something shameful. Don't worry, if I fall and ruin my face, I won't tell Wangye, and I won't tell anyone. "
"Aren't you annoying?" Ji Muqing was truly impatient. She threw off the blanket and got out of bed. She stomped a few times on the ground and said to Chen Xiang, "You saw it, I'm fine."
Chen Xiang couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her. This woman really wasn't fit to be Prince Yi's Consort. Compared to herself, she was a far cry.
No, it wasn't that they were too far apart. They simply didn't have the qualifications to be compared with her.
He was clearly a fool.
She used a handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth, hiding her smile, and then said, "It's good that Younger Sister is fine."
"Then you can go."
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb little sister's rest."
Ji Muqing glared at her fiercely and prepared to go back to bed. She didn't expect that Chen Xiang would sneakily stretch out a leg and trip her.
"Ah!"
As she screamed, her body fell forward. She had nothing to support herself with, so she could only fall head-first.
"Dong!"
His head knocked heavily on the bedpost, and his knees fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.
Chen Xiang, who was closest to her, hurriedly helped her up, but she only managed to help her halfway up when she let go of her hand.
This time, her shoulder hit the side of the bed. Even the sound of her bones cracking could be heard.
Not to mention looking at it, just hearing that voice was enough to make one's heart tremble.
All the maidservants in the room were stunned. They stood at the side and watched their master fall down twice.
"Ah!" Ji Muqing sat on the ground, her eyes red from the pain.
The maidservants regained their senses and hurriedly helped her up from the ground.
He asked, "Princess, are you alright?"
She was dizzy from the blow to her head, stars were in her eyes, and her legs were too weak to stand up straight.
Then —
He fainted.
He lost consciousness.
All the maidservants in the room were terrified.
But —
Chen Xiang, on the other hand, laughed sinisterly in secret.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the estate. Several physicians were invited to examine her injuries, prescribing a lot of medicine and pouring bowl after bowl of it into her mouth.
This incident naturally alerted Jing Yi. He didn't want to go, but the entire estate knew about it. It would be inappropriate if he didn't go and take a look.
Then, he dragged his feet and walked over slowly.
The moment he entered the room, he saw Chen Xiang guarding the bedside, looking worriedly at the unconscious Ji Muqing.
Seeing him, Chen Xiang hurried forward. "Your Highness, Younger Sister is so pitiful. She fell and injured herself, but she still had to get off the bed. She lost her balance and became like this. Fortunately, the physician said she's fine. Otherwise, what would we do?"
Jing Yi glanced at the person on the bed and said coldly, "It's fine as long as she doesn't die."
Of course, it would be best if she didn't die.
Otherwise, how could he make use of the Ji brothers?
Chen Xiang tugged at him. "Your Highness, why don't you stay? If Younger Sister sees you first when she wakes up, she'll definitely be very happy."
He was only here to go through the motions. He didn't have the leisure to accompany this kind of woman. Just as he was about to reject her —
Ji Muqing had actually woken up!
"It hurts!" She frowned and touched her forehead with one hand. She discovered that it was bandaged, but her other hand couldn't move.
Chen Xiang hurried forward. "Younger Sister, you're awake?"
"You … Go away!" Ji Muqing looked as if she had seen her father's murderer. She turned her head and saw Jing Yi standing by her bedside. It was as if she had found a life-saving straw. "Your Highness, you have to help this concubine."
She cried pitifully and struggled to sit up on the bed.
Jing Yi could only ask, "Is Princess Consort alright?"
"Your Highness, it was this vicious woman who tripped me." She pointed a finger viciously at Chen Xiang, who was sitting by the bedside.
Chen Xiang was stunned. Her slender and long brows were tightly knitted together as if she had been wronged. She leaned back, her face full of shock. "Younger Sister, what are you saying? How did I push you? "
"You were the one who stretched out your leg and tripped me."
"How can you maliciously accuse me? I even reached out to help you when you fell just now. "
"Help me? You clearly wanted to harm me!" She looked at Jing Yi and said, "Your Highness, this concubine's words are all true. You have to help me!"
Chen Xiang was also crying. She lowered her head and sobbed delicately. She used a handkerchief to secretly wipe her tears. Her appearance was like the color of a Xizi.
Jing Yi's face was expressionless. He couldn't side with anyone. After all, they were in public.
He asked Ji Muqing, "Do you have any proof?"
"Cailan saw it." She looked at Cailan, who was standing nearby. "You must have seen it. Tell His Highness that it was this woman who stretched out her leg and tripped me."
She was implicated even though she was lying down!
Cailan trembled as she stepped forward. She raised her panicked eyes and glanced at her consort, then at Chen Xiang, who was wiping away her tears with her head lowered.
She didn't speak for a long time.
Ji Muqing was anxious. "Tell me! Tell me that you saw it. She was the one who tripped me. "
Jing Rong also said, "Tell me, what happened at that time?"
"This servant …"
At this moment, Cailan thought of many things. At that time, she was the closest and had indeed seen Chen Xiang stretch out her leg to trip Ji Muqing. However, if she said that she saw it, she would offend the side consort. If she said that she didn't see it, she would offend the consort.
She couldn't afford to offend either of these two!
However, she thought about it from another perspective. On the way back, Chen Xiang had held her hand intimately. It was much better than Ji Muqing slapping herself.
With this thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, this servant didn't see it at that time!"
Ah!
Ji Muqing was shocked. She looked at her personal maid in disbelief. This was the maid she had raised since she was young. She had brought her from Jinjiang to the capital, then from the General's Estate to Prince Yi's Estate. Even if she really didn't see it, she should at least say that she did.
This lass, she's courting death!
"Cailan, what did you say? You clearly saw it at that time. "
"Your Highness, this servant didn't see it. I only saw you fall. The side consort reached out to help you, but you pushed her away and fell again." Cailan's words flowed smoothly.
