Soon, a scarred chambermaid was carried through the door.
This person was none other than the chamberlain who had just attempted to deceive Yu Qingwu in the imperial garden, and he was also Qiu Kui's confidant Xiao Dezi.
Xiao Dezi was beaten by Yu Qi and was frightened. As soon as he was carried in, he saw Xu Zian who was also covered in scars. He thought that Xie Jinyan was going to punish him again. Before Xie Jinyan could ask, he
He was so frightened that he cried and howled, and he explained all the ins and outs in his head.
It was said that today, Xu Zian and Qiu Shiniang had a private meeting in the cold palace. The two conspired to kill Yu Qingwu. Due to Yu Qingwu's identity, they did not dare to do it openly, so they thought of tricking Yu Qingwu out and slandering her for having an affair with a man.
At that time, they would take Xie Jinyan to catch the traitor. In this case, Yu Qingwu would be executed without them having to take action.
While Xiao Dezi was talking, he started to cry again, and repeatedly apologized to Yu Qingwu, "Crown Princess, I can't help myself. I am a little servant who has no power in the palace. Concubine Qiu is threatening me."
The little one said that if the little one doesn’t agree, he will take his life.”
"It doesn't matter if my little one dies, but I still have a widowed mother and a young brother who need to be taken care of. When I entered Gongyuan, I was thinking of getting some money so that my mother would have money to take medicine and my brother would have money to study. I'm a small person.
Zhongquan relies on the villain, so the villain dare not die, let alone disobey the concubine Qiu!"
"Otherwise, even if there were a hundred cowards, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing."
Xiao Dezi burst into tears, told half truths and half lies, and immediately put all the blame on Qiu Shiniang and Xu Zian.
When he heard that Xu Zian and Qiu Shiniang were still interacting with each other, Xie Ruizhi's expression suddenly changed.
Xu Zian naturally noticed it, and he quickly shook his head at her and explained repeatedly, "Sixth Princess, this little slave is talking nonsense. Weichen has never had any contact with that okra! Let alone framed the Crown Princess! Besides, Weichen
If you have no grievances against the Crown Princess, what reason is there to frame the Crown Princess?"
"Why are there no grievances? Didn't you just say that I bullied your sister?" When Xu Zian was shouting loudly, Yu Qingwu, who had been silent until now, spoke. She stood up slowly, unhurriedly
He walked to Xu Fengxia, looked down at her, and asked with a sneer, "
Mrs. Xu, when you were in Fengzao Palace, did you cry and say that I bullied you because I was unwilling to let you and your brother cheat to pass the test? After that, you still cursed and insulted me for being of low origin.
, insulting me and bullying others..."
"This matter... the sixth princess was also present..."
"Ruizhi, is that so?"
Yu Qingwu spoke softly and turned his eyes to look at Xie Ruizhi, who was standing aside.
The ends of the red eyes were outlined with a bit of pity, and a pair of watery eyes looked at Xie Ruizhi with a very gentle look.
Compared with Xie Jinyan's usual direct lessons, Yu Qingwu's gentleness made Xie Ruizhi unable to bear to refute even if he wanted to. Besides, what she said as the royal sister-in-law was also true.
When they were in Fengzao Palace earlier, the eldest sister of the Xu family really failed to get her along, so she insulted the emperor's sister-in-law.
Thinking about it again, it is not impossible that the eldest sister of the Xu family complained to the fourth brother Xu again.
Touching Yu Qingwu's eyes, Xie Rui felt a little guilty unconsciously.
She paused, took a deep look at Xu Zian, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, when we were at Fengzao Palace, the eldest sister of the Xu family wanted the emperor's sister-in-law to help Xu's fourth brother cheat and pass the mother-mother test, but the emperor's sister-in-law did not agree.
The eldest sister of the Xu family took advantage of the emperor's wife's humble background and made many insulting remarks."
"The emperor's sister-in-law didn't say anything about this. But the eldest sister of the Xu family later cried and complained when she met the fourth brother Xu in the imperial garden."
Xie Ruizhi's voice became lower and lower, and he did not dare to look into Xu Zian's eyes.
After all, Xu Zian is the person she has loved for many years and is also her savior, so she can't bear it to a certain extent.
But Xu Zian was shocked. He didn't expect Xie Ruizhi to speak for others.
He was stunned for a moment, with anger in his eyes, and asked her with dissatisfaction and disbelief, "Sixth Princess, what are you talking about? You...don't you believe Wei Chen?"
"Isn't that right? Sixth Princess, how can you speak for outsiders!" At that time, Xu Fengxia also intervened. It was probably because Xie Ruizhi had been too used to them in the past, and now she couldn't accept the sudden gap.
She stumbled up from the ground, glared at Xie Ruizhi angrily, and said sternly, "Sixth Princess, not to mention Zian is your future husband, even if he is not your future husband, he is still your savior, and this is how you treat you
The savior?"
"And His Royal Highness, this is how your royal family treats its savior!"
Xu Fengxia put her hands on her waist and looked confident.
It made it seem as if Xu Zian really saved Xie Ruizhi.
How shameless!
There was a hint of sarcasm in Xie Jinyan's eyes, and he couldn't help but sneered coldly, and lightly interrupted Xu Fengxia, "Mrs. Xu, are you sure that Xu Zian is really the savior of the Sixth Princess? Just because he is a weak scholar, but also as timid as a mouse, he is
How did you rescue the Sixth Princess from those bandits?"
To be honest, if it wasn't because Xu Zian went too far and reached out to Yu Qingwu, Xie Jinyan would not have exposed it. Firstly, even if Xie Ruizhi was exposed, he might not give up his love for Xu Zian. Secondly, because of
Xie Ruizhi’s honor and integrity.
But now...
His eyes were slightly cold, with a cold light in his phoenix eyes. He stared at Xu Zian with sharp eyes and said with a cold smile, "Xu Zian, tell me, you are a weak scholar with a body like a chicken and a weak willow.
How did you single-handedly snatch the Sixth Princess back from those gangsters without getting hurt?"
Xu Fengxia was originally quite confident, but when asked by Xie Jinyan like this, she immediately choked up and her eyes flickered.
Xie Ruizhi had never had any doubts before, but when he heard Xie Jinyan's question, he immediately became suspicious and looked at Xu Zian questioningly.
Xu Zian's face was full of guilt. He didn't dare to look at Xie Ruizhi at all. His eyes were wandering and he hesitated, "It's... it's been too long, I can't remember..."
"Can't you remember? How could Master Xu not remember such a thrilling experience?" At this time, a sarcastic laugh came from outside the door.
The next moment, two young men in their early twenties entered the hall one after another.
The visitors were Liang Xiuyuan, the eldest grandson of King Ning, and Xu Xingzhi, Xu Zian's eldest brother.
The moment she saw Xu Xingzhi, Xu Zian's face turned pale. Xu Fengxia became even more panicked. She pointed at Xu Xingzhi and yelled, "You bastard, why are you here?"
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you ask your good brother?" Liang Xiuyuan glanced at Yu Qingwu with complicated eyes, and soon fell on Xu Fengxia and Xu Zian. He slowly approached them and coldly snorted,
"Fourth Young Master Xu, you have defrauded the Sixth Princess of a lot of benefits for so many years by taking the credit from your eldest brother, right?"
