Princess Huan said anxiously: "You are obviously lying. You are plotting to kill the prince. How dare you make such sophistry?"
Qian Qiyue raised her eyes: "When should I quibble? Did Princess Huan see the scene with her own eyes, or heard what the prince said with her own ears?"
"I…"
"you shut up!"
The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Huan.
Qian Qiyue did not argue with Princess Huan. When Tang Ning's worried eyes were touched, Qian Qiyue said to the Queen Mother:
"After the Queen Mother left today's banquet, Concubine Xian has been giving Tang Ning a hard time. I was a little unhappy, and I was afraid that I would lose my temper and offend Concubine Xian and cause trouble in the palace. When I saw Mrs. Wenxin Hou going out, I simply went out. I want to go to the toilet to relieve myself and calm down."
"The people outside the palace pointed the way, but I was confused and took the wrong route. When I went around the boss and arrived near Baoxia, I heard the voice of Mrs. Wenxinhou scolding me."
Qian Qiyue had sweat on her forehead and looked unhappy, but she spoke very clearly.
"I was standing far away and saw Mrs. Wenxinhou and Mrs. Zhou having an argument with two eunuch-looking people. I don't know what was said. The two people actually pushed her and Sister Zhou."
"Since I have a good relationship with Sister Zhou, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. After I hurried over and knocked the person unconscious, Mrs. Wen Xinhou said that Sister Fu was dragged into Baoxia by the prince."
"I was shocked when I heard that. I didn't dare to delay. After I broke in, I heard the prince forcing Sister Fu from behind the partition door. Sister Fu asked for help. I wanted to save her immediately, but I didn't expect that there was actually someone inside the Baoxia building. There was also a highly skilled eunuch hiding, and I was almost injured by his sneak attack and almost died, but Mrs. Wenxinhou blocked it for me."
Qian Qiyue seemed to be in some pain and tilted her body, and everyone saw her bloody arm.
Her clothes were torn and stained red with blood.
No one had noticed it before, but now many people gasped when they saw the wound.
Qian Qiyue said: "At that time, Mrs. Wen Xinhou was injured and fell unconscious. I fought with the man and finally subdued him, but found that I felt as if I had been drugged and was weak."
"The prince was ungrateful and rushed towards him with red eyes and wanted to do something evil. I fought hard to fight him off. Maybe he woke up after being injured. The prince wanted to escape. How could I let him leave."
"I just wanted to keep the prince here so that he would not escape the blame, but the prince threatened him with what happened in Baosha, and also tried to ruin the reputation of the Qian family and the Fu family."
"I was also angered for a moment, and because the medicine in my body was still weak, I was afraid that I would not be able to keep the prince, so I accidentally knocked him down. I had no intention of harming the prince, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother to warn you."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Although Princess Huan was scolded by the Queen Mother, she did not want Qian Qiyue to escape. She said coldly:
"These are obviously sophistry. How can there be such a coincidence in this world? You guys just happened to arrive at Baoxia, and you happened to see the prince plotting something evil. Besides, as the prince of the East Palace, what kind of beauty does the prince want? Why bother? Forced on you?"
She glanced at Qian Qiyue up and down:
"I think there may be some people who are interested in the wealth of the East Palace, so they try to climb up to the top by any means, and then something unexpected happens, so they want to silence..."
"Then what Princess Huan means is that Mrs. Wenxinhou also covets the position in the prince's harem?" Concubine Zhaogui suddenly said.
"absurd!"
Tang Ning said coldly: "What kind of person is Marquis Wenxin? Mrs. Wenxinhou has been married to him for many years and has always been in love. How could she covet the prince? Besides, who planned for the prince to climb a high branch and bring so many people with him? It was all out of his mind. Is it waterlogged or is it crazy that you’re afraid it won’t be broken?”
"Princess Huan, Marquis Wenxin is currently leading troops to fight for the imperial court in the south, but you insult his wife and daughter like this. What are your intentions?!"
Princess Huan's face changed: "That's not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean?"
Tang Ning said coldly: "If Sister Qian is greedy for wealth and wants to climb high, the Queen Mother mentioned the election and wanted to keep her in the palace when she was asked to take charge of Fengqi Palace. She should have agreed immediately. Why should she sacrifice the near and far to pursue the crown prince."
"Besides, a woman's reputation is as high as the heavens. Who would play with her own reputation? The prince has not yet spoken out about whether he is forcing himself on others, so why are you anxious?"
"Or are you so familiar with the prince that you dare to vouch for the prince without knowing the truth or seeing it with your own eyes, and he has never done anything illegal?"
Princess Huan's face changed greatly: "Don't talk nonsense, when did the prince and I know each other?"
"If you're not familiar with it, then shut up!"
When Tang Ning raised his eyes, his eyes were dark, and he really had murderous intent towards Princess Huan. The coldness in his eyes made Princess Huan's scalp numb, while Tang Ning turned to look at the top:
"The Queen Mother just sits back and watches Princess Huan insult the wife and daughter of the hero?"
The Queen Mother took a deep look at Tang Ning, turned to Princess Huan and said, "If you don't shut up, the Ai family will have someone teach you how to be quiet."
Princess Huan felt cold all over: "Empress Dowager, I am also the one who was deceived by Qian Qiyue. She and the girl from the Fu family had a dispute today. The two even taunted each other in the front hall. She did not give Fu the slightest hint. My daughter-in-law has such a good face, how could she hurt the prince just to save her?"
Xuan Qiwen couldn't help but said: "Aunt, what Princess Huan said is true. Many of us saw Qian Qiyue mocking Fu Jinrou with our own eyes at that time. They had already turned their backs. Qian Qiyue was saying..."
She was about to say Qian Qiyue lied when she caught the Queen Mother's eyes that suddenly looked over.
Xuan Qiwen's face turned pale and she quickly shut up.
Qian Qiyue was particularly calm about the two people's accusations: "Sister Fu and I do have some conflicts, but the friendship in the past few months is not fake, and we are both women. Even if there is someone I don't know, I will definitely not see death." If we don’t save her, the girl raised by my Qian family won’t be so cold-blooded.”
Xuan Qiwen was immediately angry. Is Qian Qiyue scolding their Xuan family girls for being cold-blooded and ruthless? !
The Queen Mother also looked a little colder.
Qian Qiyue ignored Xuan Qiwen, who was facing her and her eyes were about to pop out. She just turned around and said to Fu Jinrou: "I did hurt the prince, but I also wanted to save people and protect myself. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can ask Sister Fu Sister, was she insulted by the prince?"
Fu Jinrou's face turned pale and she clutched her palms tightly.
Although she had some inappropriate things with the prince, she never thought that anyone would know about it. At least in her expectation, before she married into the East Palace, she was a pure and pure girl in everyone's eyes.
But now...
Fu Jinrou wanted to say no, wanted to say that it was not her who the prince had insulted, wanted to say that Qian Qiyue had lied, but she met Qian Qiyue's frightening black eyes, and there were people all over the palace looking at her.
Blood was drawn from her palms, and she swallowed all her thoughts with tears.
"The prince...insulted me..."
