Chapter 503: This King Helps You (4)

This was the Qin residence. Princess Ming'an's servants had already brought her a cloak to cover her dripping wet body. But Shen Miao didn't have any. The lilac cloak she had worn when she arrived was already soaking wet, practically sticking to her body. Even Jingzhe and Guyu couldn't use their bodies to shield her. Huangfu Hao stared at Shen Miao, but he was a little presumptuous.

At this moment, King Rui chuckled and suddenly took off his dark cloak, throwing it lightly on Shen Miao, covering her completely. This action made everyone around him stunned. King Rui of Daliang had been a loner since he came to Dingjing. He had no friendship with Mingqi and did not deliberately make friends with Qin. It was inexplicable that he would come to Shen Miao's rescue.

Huangfu Hao looked at Shen Miao with a thoughtful look, but Princess Ming'an bit her lip in jealousy.

Jingzhe and Guyu helped Shen Miao stand up. Princess Ming'an could no longer contain her excitement and said, "It was clearly you who pushed me down. If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen into the lake without any reason? Could it be that one of my servants pushed me?"

Shen Miao smiled. Although her hair was also completely soaked, her calm and open expression made her look much more dignified than the now furious Princess Ming An. She said, "My servant has already explained it for me. I fell into the water first, so how could I push Her Highness? Perhaps Her Highness accidentally slipped herself."

Princess Ming'an angrily said, "If I had slipped, how could I have fallen into the middle of the pond?"

“That’s a coincidence,” Shen Miao said indifferently, “This servant is not a warrior with infinite strength, so I really can’t push the princess so far to the middle of the pond.”

A light laugh suddenly escaped, and everyone looked up, only to see that King Rui curled his lips. However, although he was smiling, no one could see his expression under the mask, which made people feel a little unpredictable.

Princess Ming An gritted her teeth and looked at Prince Rui: "Since Your Highness is here, and you are neither from Mingqi nor Qin, please come and administer justice and see who is lying between me and Shen Miao?"

By the time Huangfu Hao tried to stop Princess Ming'an, it was too late. He was fuming. Princess Ming'an was spoiled, yet clueless. Although he knew she was targeting Shen Miao, he hadn't expected her to resort to such a foolish scheme. If things went wrong, Shen Miao would resort to a self-torture scheme, and Princess Ming'an wouldn't be in any good shape either. Even more coincidentally, Prince Rui of Daliang had unexpectedly come to visit today, and upon witnessing this chaotic scene, Huangfu Hao was practically ready to strangle Princess Ming'an to death.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes, while Princess Ming'an looked up at him with hope. Huangfu Hao's face showed some embarrassment. Prince Rui curled his lips and said, "Why should this prince care about these trivial matters?"

Princess Ming An was stunned, and Shen Miao secretly rolled her eyes.

"Your mansion is quite lively." It wasn't clear if Prince Rui's words were mocking or not, but the calm tone suddenly made Huangfu Hao feel a little unhappy. He glanced at Shen Miao, who was wearing Prince Rui's cloak, and suddenly smiled slightly. "Today was just a misunderstanding, but I didn't expect Miss Shen to be implicated by this. I apologize to Miss Shen on behalf of my sister. I hope Miss Shen doesn't mind."

“Brother Crown Prince!” Princess Ming’an had not expected Huangfu Hao to actually yield to Shen Miao. She was anxious and shouted in dissatisfaction. However, Huangfu Hao glared at her coldly and she dared not say anything else. She only looked at Shen Miao with a look of jealousy and hatred.

Shen Miao looked at Huangfu Hao and said calmly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, and I dare not disobey." These tolerant words were said reluctantly, as if they were extremely forced. This made Princess Ming An angry again. Huangfu Hao was also startled and looked at Shen Miao meaningfully.
