A sneer flashed in Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes.
Fu Yunqiu's face was full of panic, and he covered the bleeding place on Fu Yunzhi's face with a handkerchief.
"Hurry up and tell the Queen that someone is making trouble in the palace!" Fu Yunqiu's maid Ningxiang immediately said to the palace maid next to her.
Fu Yunzhi grimaced in pain, sobbing and angrily scolding Shen Dingzhu.
"You are so cruel. I am about to get engaged to General Zhou. Why did you ruin my face at this time?"
Before Shen Dingzhu spoke, Fu Yunqiu frowned.
She said: "Miss Shen, no matter how hard you usually deal with my third sister, you can't be so cruel and jealous. If you push her down, how can she go out to meet people?"
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were dark, and standing in a position away from the light, she looked even more dignified, with a pointed chin and fair and delicate cheeks.
"It's strange. You two kept saying that it was me who pushed her, but I just turned around to leave. Could it be that I had an extra hand behind my back to push Miss Fu San down?"
Fu Yunzhi's expression changed, his expression twisted, and he looked slightly ferocious.
"Don't try to quibble. So many of us saw you pushing me. We'll go to the Queen later to see what you do."
Shen Dingzhu was calm and relaxed.
She raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, her delicate body shook: "My head hurts."
Ningxiang was anxious: "You are still pretending to be uncomfortable, but our third lady is the one who suffered the most from you!"
Shen Dingzhu supported the wall and looked shaky: "I'm going to faint."
Fu Yunqiu frowned, which really made Shen Dingzhu faint in advance, and the situation was not conducive to them.
When Shen Dingzhu was about to pretend to fall down, unexpectedly, a cold, broad hand firmly stabilized her.
Xiao Langyan's voice came: "Where does it hurt?"
Shen Dingzhu was stunned for a moment, then opened his watery eyes and looked at the man who suddenly appeared next to him in surprise.
Why is he here?
Turning around again, he saw that Xiao Langyan was not only coming, but also followed by several officials, including Zhou Luli.
Judging from their direction, they were probably going to Qinzheng Hall from His Highness Jinluan in the morning.
Shen Dingzhu felt a little hard to continue acting. She licked her pink lips and leaned directly into Xiao Langyan's arms: "Miss Fu San insists on slandering me. I am in a hurry to explain, and my head hurts."
Fu Yunzhi's eyes widened, how dare he hit Shen Dingzhu!
None of them expected Xiao Langyan to show up. What made Fu Yunzhi even more panicked was, why was Zhou Luli also there?
At this moment, his eyes were looking at her coldly, as if he was disgusted.
Fu Yunzhi thought that his face was covered in blood and must be very ugly, and he burst into tears: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it was your concubine who pushed the maid down when she disagreed with her. So many maids saw it, and she even wanted to pretend to be sick and threaten her."
Even Fu Yunqiu said, "It's also my fault. When Miss Shen was upset just now, I didn't comfort her in time, which made her quarrel with Third Sister."
Her voice was soft, as if magnanimous: "But I don't think Miss Shen did it on purpose. Today's conflict was all a misunderstanding. I was just going to say that Miss Shen should apologize to my third sister and let this matter go."
These words distorted the facts and described Shen Dingzhu as the arrogant and domineering culprit who caused injuries to others.
Shen Dingzhu leaned in Xiao Langyan's arms, with a gloomy look in his eyes, like an impatient cat.
With so many people present, she didn't bother to speak anymore, because she knew that with Fu Yunqiu here, Xiao Langyan might not embarrass her too much.
However, Xiao Langyan lowered his head and asked her proactively: "Is this really the case?"
Shen Dingzhu raised her beautiful eyes and met his eyes, with an innocent look on her pretty face like porcelain.
"I didn't push her. I turned around and wanted to leave. I don't know why Miss Fu San rushed at me and fell at my feet. Then they kept saying that I pushed them."
Fu Yunzhi was anxious: "How dare you lie!"
At this moment, Xiao Langyan shouted sharply: "That's enough."
Facing his harsh words, Fu Yunzhi flinched and carefully hid behind Fu Yunqiu.
"There are so many of you, but Shen Dingzhu is the only one. If she says she recommends Fu Yunzhi, I won't believe it."
After he said this, Fu Yunqiu's face turned pale.
Xiao Langyan actually protected Shen Dingzhu like this!
Fu Yunqiu's voice was forced to be calm and he asked: "Does the prince insist on showing favoritism and disregarding the facts?"
Xiao Langyan sneered.
He hugged Shen Dingzhu's slender waist tightly and said in a cold voice in front of the officials behind him: "Shen Dingzhu is my king's person. Unconditional trust in her is a privilege that I should give her. What does it have to do with you?" "
Fu Yunqiu's face suddenly became embarrassed, as if he had been slapped.
Shen Dingzhu leaned in Xiao Langyan's arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and her slender fingertips couldn't help but curl up twice.
This was the first time that she was defended by Xiao Langyan like this in front of everyone.
You know, when she was treated like this in her previous life, she was already Xiao Langyan's beloved concubine.
Before becoming his favorite concubine, Xiao Langyan didn't care about her emotions or whether she was wronged. He just liked to treat her like a pet, play with her and tease her, and leave her alone when she was not needed.
At this time, a voice came from the side.
"This princess can testify that it was Miss Fu San who tried to push Aunt Shen, but she fell down."
Princess Puyue and two palace attendants came from the corner of the palace road not far away.
Fu Yunzhi's eyes flashed with fear, and he lowered his head, leaning closely on Fu Yunqiu's side, waiting for her to make up her mind.
Fu Yunqiu calmed down: "Your Highness, please forgive me. It's not that I doubted you, but that there was no one around the palace just now. Where did the princess see you?"
Princess Puyue pointed to the distance: "Zhaixing Tower."
Everyone looked along, and sure enough, the three-story Star-Zhaing Tower was facing here. If they had just stood on it and looked far away, they would have been able to see the situation here clearly.
"If Miss Fu doesn't believe me, you can ask the guards at Zhaixing Tower whether I was really looking out from above just now."
Fu Yunqiu quickly lowered his head: "I have no doubts about Her Royal Highness the Princess' intentions. Third sister is also confused for a moment, and she has absolutely no malice."
Zhou Luli couldn't help but said coldly: "It's not malicious, why would you blame her own fault on someone else? This can be called vicious."
Fu Yunzhi's face turned pale. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Luli blankly, only to find that the way he looked at her was full of disgust.
Her heart felt cold and she kept crying: "I really didn't mean it. It was Shen Dingzhu who spoke rudely to me first. I...I just wanted to teach her a little lesson."
"A lesson?" Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows, "Are you worthy?"
When Fu Yunqiu saw how the situation had evolved, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she scolded Fu Yunzhi: "Third sister, why don't you quickly apologize to Miss Shen?"
