Chapter 74 (2/2)

“Teapot? What’s the matter with the teapot?” Xiao Ye frowned, he stared at Fu RuoQing and asked.

“This concubine doesn’t know ah.” Fu RuoQing raised her gaze to stare at Xiao Ye and spoke.

“Heng (humph), Consort G.o.ddess’ mouth was saying ‘to guide’ but she secretly told people to take out the iron teapot for me to serve the tea. The Consort G.o.ddess wanted me to pour the tea, and then she also wanted me to have a steady grasp on the teapot, the tea must not be spilled over. Consort G.o.ddess, you really guided me well.” Jing Yue sneered while watching Fu RuoQing pretending to be a fool.

“What?” Xiao Ye’s expression sank. He stared at Fu RuoQing.

“The scalded hand is here, whether or not I am speaking nonsense, take a look and you’d know.” Jing Yue nonchalantly showed her right hand. The scalds on that tiny hand were far more severe than the scald on Fu RuoQing’s face. Some of those white swollen blisters had already burst; those must have been really painful ah.

Xiao Ye was also scared because of those scalds. He abruptly turned his gaze towards Fu RuoQing and furiously said, “Fu RuoQing!”

“What? Iron teapot? Your Imperial Majesty, this concubine obviously used a porcelain teapot ah!” Fu RuoQing stared at Jing Yue’s hand with a shocked expression on her face, looking bewildered and astonished before she then stared at Xiao Ye and abruptly said those words.

“Then, what about the scalds on Jing Yue’s hand? Did she do it herself?” Xiao Ye brandished his hand to pull his robe from Fu RuoQing’s hold and furiously spoke.

“It must have been taken by mistake! It must have been a maid who didn’t pay attention and took it by mistake! This concubine really didn’t know anything ah.” Fu RuoQing hung her head down looking like she was very wronged and was going to cry.

“Call that maid over.” Xiao Ye waved his hand and spoke with a calm face.

Jing Yue hung her head down and pulled her hand back. From the beginning, Xiao Chen had been standing at the side, his presence at this moment could be said to be extremely low. If it wasn’t because Jing Yue had prevented him from talking, he would have ignored these people and carried Jing Yue away. No wonder she had kept her hand behind his nape all along.
