He was stunned at first, and then his eyes almost popped out of his head in fright, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, you..." Hu Hongzhi was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.
Obviously, he recognized the face of "Shen Wan".
But Xiao Lingyue had never seen him.
This is very interesting.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes coldly and sneered: "It seems that you really know me. Has someone shown you my portrait? Or described my appearance to you? Did the other party still give you instructions? If something happened If you are exposed, you will put all the blame on me, and you can pretend to be a victim who was taken advantage of and get away with nothing?"
Hu Hongzhi's face was blue and red, his pupils were trembling with fear, and he could not pronounce a single syllable.
Xiao Lingyue stepped on his knee hard, with such force that the kneecap under his feet made a crisp sound, as if the bones were cracked.
"Ah..." Hu Hongzhi suddenly screamed in pain.
Xiao Lingyue simply stuffed her handkerchief into his mouth to muffle his screams, and stepped on both of his legs without ceremony.
"Uh-huh!!!" Hu Hongzhi was in pain like a dehydrated fish. He was twitching and rolling all over the floor. His face was covered in cold sweat and his nose was dripping with runny eyes. He looked ashen and extremely embarrassed.
Xiao Lingyue looked at him with relief, and then she felt that the anger in her heart was relieved a little.
No one likes to be plotted.
Especially Xiao Lingyue, she hated those dirty tricks the most.
Although it is unclear who instigated Hu Hongzhi, Hu Hongzhi was obviously cooperating with the other party's plan and had the intention of forcibly tainting the eighth princess. He was also fully prepared to put the blame on Xiao Lingyue.
This plan is crude but practical, vicious yet miraculous.
Once their plan succeeds.
The first unlucky one is the eighth princess.
Even if the folk customs of Northern Qin were open and she was a princess, once she was tarnished and her reputation was ruined, the Eighth Princess would have to face two choices.
Either leave the royal family, become a nun in a temple, and live a lonely life.
Either she was forced to marry and commit to Hu Hongzhi. Even if they could reconcile in the future, the tarnished reputation would follow her for life.
What's more, the eighth princess herself is engaged.
She and Wen Shaoqing, the eldest son of the Wen family, have a deep relationship with each other since they were childhood sweethearts. They have already decided to get married next year. If she is really ruined by Hu Hongzhi's plan, the marriage will definitely be ruined.
There is no telling what the Eighth Princess will do in her grief and anger.
The next person who will be unlucky is Xiao Lingyue.
The person who instigated Hu Hongzhi had made arrangements a long time ago, and even confessed to Hu Hongzhi that it was Xiao Lingyue who ordered him to bite him to death.
If Xiao Lingyue hadn't been very vigilant from the beginning and cautious at every step. When the matter came to light, Hu Hongzhi came prepared and had multiple "evidences" to testify. How could it have been so easy for her to clear out the suspicion? ?
If you cannot prove your innocence, you will be blamed.
He plotted against the princess, colluded with the foreign man, caused a scandal at the concubine's birthday party, and brought banned drugs into the palace...
With so many crimes being slapped together and punished at the same time, is there any need to say what will happen to Xiao Lingyue?
