C539 The dog bites the dog (1/2)
”Could it be that the person who admires Xiao Shan's talents is actually you, Princess Jianan? After all, Xiao Shan praised you time and time again during the poetry gathering, belittling Lian Yue. No matter what, it is not Lian Yue's turn to adore Xiao Shan.” The Third Princess said.
Xu Xianfei also never thought that this idiot, Xiao Rou, would pull out such a handkerchief in order to save Xiao Shan. She hurriedly said, ”Your majesty, Jian An has always been obedient and accompanied chenqie by her side. Naturally, she would not hand her handkerchief over to Xiao Rou.
”Then, if it has nothing to do with Princess Jianan, then Xiao Rou took Princess Jianan's handkerchief and wanted to frame me, but failed?” Lian Ru Yue looked at the pale-faced, trembling Xiao Rou and said, ”This Xiao Shan is still unable to dispel the suspicion that he killed Senior Servant Jin.”
”…” Xiao Zhen was so angry that he turned green. This daughter was really hot-headed. Before she had no confidence, she wanted to push the blame onto Lian Rue. In the end, Lian Rue had rebelled against the first general and left her in a dilemma.
Feng Qianyue's expression became even more unsightly. He sighed and said, ”Esteemed wangfei, with the matter at this point, you can no longer hide anything. You can say whatever you want to say.”
Xiao Rou suddenly cried loudly, ”Father, husband, it … it was I who wronged Lian Xiangyue in order to protect elder brother. This handkerchief, it was given to me by Princess Jianan. She did not tell me to pass it on to elder brother.”
”What did you say?” Wei Ru didn't expect Xiao Rou to change her tone so quickly. He pointed the spearhead at himself, angered to the point that his face turned green. ”Don't taint my innocence. How could I like Xiao Shan?”
”But you also praised Xiao Shan at the poetry gathering earlier. Why are you looking down on him now?” The Third Princess pouted and said.
Lian Ruyue secretly revealed a smile at the corner of her mouth. How dare Wei Ru let someone kill her? She really did not know her 'evil reputation'. After the matter with the handkerchief, the other princesses said that again. Even if she made it clear that the handkerchief was not her own initiative, her reputation would not be as great as she had imagined.
”This Xiao Rou is lying. Her words are truly not worthy of being trusted!” So don't be fooled by her, princesses. ” How could Xu Xianfei allow others to sully Wei Ru's good reputation if she wanted him to be her wife? She glared coldly at Third Young Master.
The third princess' mother was Feng Degui, and her status was even higher than that of Xu Xianfei. She had always been a domineering person, so how could she put Wei Rui in her eyes?
Wei You was so angry that her face turned green, and she clenched her fists tightly. She had wanted to gain a good reputation by marrying Ye gege as the eighth prince's consort, but now, she had been thrown into such a mess.
”Father, husband …” This is all because of the Concubine Xian. No one knows what went wrong with her, but she ended up putting Senior Servant Jin's life in this mess. Daughter guarantees, Big Brother definitely didn't kill Senior Servant Jin. ” Xiao Rou knelt on the ground and cried as she spoke. Feng Qianyue wanted her to speak truthfully, and this was the truth.
”Consort Xian?” The emperor was stunned. He slowly looked at Xu Xianfei with a heavy pressure that made her feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over.
She quickly kneeled down and said, ”Your Majesty, you should know that this Senior Servant Jin has been taking care of her ever since she was a concubine. She has a deep relationship with her concubine, like a relative of mine.
Xiao Rou, you said that Xiao Shan definitely didn't kill Senior Servant Jin. Do you mean that Senior Servant Jin's death was caused by me? Why did I kill my most loyal and devoted wet nurse?
I have yet to investigate why Senior Servant Jin died in front of Xiao Shan. All of you actually want to pin the crime of killing on my head! ”
”No, that's not the case. Your majesty, esteemed imperial concubine is lying.” Xiao Rou saw that Xu Xian Fei wanted to protect herself by blaming her big brother for killing someone, so she couldn't care less and said:
”The truth is like this, the Empress said that the Moon Concubine pestered eighth prince, while the Empress desired that the princess of Jian'an, Wei You, be the eighth prince's consort. In order to make the Moon Concubine give up on the eighth prince, the Empress drank some bewitching medicine for the Moon Conviction and then threw her in front of my elder brother. That way, the Moon Concubine would have no choice but to marry my elder brother, and she wouldn't be able to pester eighth prince anymore.”
