“Your Imperial Majesty, it would be better if I would be the one who will explain.” Jing Yue raised her gaze and stared indifferently at Xiao Ye, the Emperor. Jing Yue’s neither haughty nor humble manner as well as the fact that she didn’t evade made everyone’s eyes turn bright.
“Explain? Is there anything to be explained!?” Just as Jing Yue was about to open her mouth and speak, the inner room’s curtain was opened. Fu RuoQing had already changed her clothes. That wide gown made her seem particularly pet.i.te and aroused people’s pity. She had a veil on her face but it still couldn’t cover the small red scald on her forehead.
“Your Imperial Majesty, she has offended this concubine like this, severely damaged this concubine’s face; this kind of crime, shouldn’t it be punished?” Fu RuoQing’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. She stood weakly, supported by a maid. Looking at her appearance really could make Jing Yue feel pity.
“Consort G.o.ddess, did you really think if there wasn’t any problem, I would dare to pour boiling water on your face without any reason?” Jing Yue sneered. She stared at Fu RuoQing and said, “You used ‘guiding me’ as a reason to make things difficult for me, I could still endure. However, you stubbornly kept making things difficult for me in every aspect; do I have to continue and endure?”
Jing Yue sneered staring at Fu RuoQing and spoke, “I’m really sorry, clay figurines also have three points of earthly character, let alone I am a real living human.”
“Your Imperial Majesty, this concubine is wrongly accused ah!” Fu RuoQing continuously shed tears from her eyes. She dropped kneeling in front of Xiao Ye and said, “Ninth Huang Fei doesn’t understand etiquette, this concubine gave her directions, hoping that she could correct her manners, who knew after this concubine had just said a few words, Ninth Huang Fei would instantly become furious out of shame and pour the hot tea on this concubine’s face.”
Xiao Ye’s expression sank. He watched Jing Yue coldly and said, “Jing Yue, is this true?”
Jing Yue sneered. She stared at Fu RuoQing and said, “She (sigh)…… Your Imperial Majesty, you should first ask the Consort G.o.ddess, what’s the matter with the teapot.”
