The prince didn't expect to see such a farce, and his face suddenly darkened, showing no signs of anger.
He grew up in the palace and had never seen any dirty tricks. He could see through the thoughts of these ladies at a glance.
At first glance, this group of people was headed by Sheng Xiuran. How could such a jealous and vicious young lady be qualified to be his crown princess!
Moreover, in order to get Miss Xiao, the husband of the Sheng family dared to lie in front of him and slander the reputation of an innocent young lady with his mouth open. How abominable!
"Sheng family..."
The prince murmured softly, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth coldly.
The tutors in the Sheng family are really "excellent".
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard the prince's murmur, her eyes lit up.
[The prince is dissatisfied with the Sheng family! If the Chunwei fraud case is made public again, the Qingguo Palace will really be in trouble! 】
Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing's eyes instantly ignited with fighting spirit.
Soon! The results will be released next month. If Qing Guo Gong seeks death on his own, Dad will never show mercy!
Meng Guxue was lying on the ground at this time, shaking into a sieve.
Although it's not a winter day in March, it's really freezing cold when the wind blows.
Meng Guxue sneezed several times in succession, feeling resentful in her heart.
Can't the Xiao sisters help others to the end and find her a set of dry clothes as soon as possible?
And the prince, who praised her at the poetry gathering in the morning, turned a blind eye to her suffering now. Are the royal people really so heartless?
Meng Guxue resented others endlessly, but she couldn't bear to find problems in herself.
Sheng Xiuran knelt at the front of the ladies, feeling uneasy in her heart at this time.
She had always carefully maintained her dignified, noble, and courteous image in front of outsiders, but now she was shattered by the prince himself!
It's all because Meng Guxue had such a loud voice, but he just pushed her into the water and taught her a lesson. I really want to shout at Po Tian!
Meng Guxue really couldn't hold on any longer. She was already feeling dizzy, and the wind blowing from the river felt like it was getting into the seams of her bones.
I heard that in ancient times, a cold wind could kill someone!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue suddenly trembled and begged for help: "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me! Please help me quickly, I'm so cold!"
"Your Highness, Sheng Xiuran invited me to the river embankment in your name. I went to the appointment with great joy. However, she stayed here with many ladies, and then ordered the evil slave to push me into the water!"
"Your Highness, you must seek justice for me!"
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
[Why should we emphasize going to appointments with joy...]
[And if you think about it a little, how could the prince disregard etiquette and ask a boudoir lady to meet alone in private? 】
When the prince heard this, his expression became darker.
"Ms. Sheng, do you mean what Ms. Meng said?"
Sheng Xiuran was frightened, and immediately kowtowed and denied, "If I go back to His Highness the Crown Prince, I would give my daughter a hundred courages, and I would not dare to act in your name, Your Highness!"
"I do have some grudges with this Miss Meng. My daughter pushed her into the river. This joke was really too much. If Your Highness wants to pursue it, I will definitely accept the punishment."
"But Miss Meng used such a heart-wrenching excuse to slander my daughter, my daughter will never admit it!"
When Meng Guxue heard this, she was instantly filled with anger.
"Sheng Xiuran, how dare you quibble! It was obviously you who asked a maid to come over and deliver a message to me——"
"Ms. Meng, you are talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence? Maid? Can you point out which maid to me? Or do you have any other witnesses?"
Sheng Xiuran turned around and interrupted Meng Guxue's words.
Meng Guxue was startled when she heard this and froze on the spot.
The maid who conveyed the message was sent by Sheng Xiuran. She must have sent that maid far away long ago.
As soon as she heard the word "Prince", she hurriedly sent the maids around her away.
There is no evidence, she has no evidence at all...
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue felt a chill in her heart. She raised her head and met Sheng Xiuran's proud and contemptuous eyes, as if to say:
Meng Guxue, how can you fight with me?
As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao saw Meng Guxue's speechless look, she knew that she had been carefully plotted by Sheng Xiuran.
[Look, that clear stupidity has come out again. If it weren’t for the aura of the heroine, with Meng Guxue’s current acting style, it would be difficult for her to survive to the finale, right? 】
[I guess you don’t have to wait until I grow up before taking action. Meng Guxue has already tried to kill himself. 】
[Well, I feel like my life has been pretty smooth so far...]
Qiao Tianjing couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Of course, little sister, you think it went smoothly because our whole family is working behind the scenes!
And don't say such vicissitudes of life, you were only born half a year ago...
On the other side, Meng Guxue murmured for a long time, unable to find any favorable evidence at all, so she could only keep repeating:
"Your Highness, I'm not lying! I swear! It's Sheng Xiuran who is doing the trick!"
The prince looked impatient. He had seen too much in the palace, so he was very tired of this kind of intrigue.
"alright."
The prince spoke solemnly. When Meng Guxue faced this majestic face, her throat suddenly choked and she was speechless.
"Miss Sheng, since you have admitted that you ordered your servants to push Miss Meng into the river, apologize and then put Miss Meng in a good place."
Although Sheng Xiuran was unwilling to accept it, she also knew that this was the lightest punishment.
She was actually a little proud in her heart.
Look, their Duke of Qing is the most prominent one in the capital, and she is also her grandfather's favorite granddaughter. Now even the prince is not willing to punish her!
Thinking of this, she responded happily, and then pretended to apologize to Meng Guxue.
"Ms. Meng, it is true that I went too far this time, and I will apologize to you here."
"Come here, give Miss Meng some clean clothes!"
Meng Guxue's teeth kept chattering, and her little face turned snow-white from the cold.
She looked at the prince not far away in disbelief, full of resentment and unwillingness.
that's all?
Is it enough to just apologize lightly like this? Sheng Xiuran almost killed her!
Why! Just because Sheng Xiuran is beautiful, just because Sheng Xiuran has a high family status?
The prince did not look at Meng Guxue again.
The maid hurriedly sent the clothes to Meng Guxue. When the prince saw Xiao Qianlan taking back her cloak, she turned and left.
Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing and others also left closely behind.
Meng Guxue lay on the ground, letting Sheng Xiuran's maid roughly put clothes on her, her eyes still fixed on the prince's leaving back.
At this moment, she couldn't help but dig her fingers into the grass beneath her.
She will never forget the humiliation of this day. One day, she will become a master!
And everyone present today will be crushed under her feet.
Including the prince!
