Chapter 64: Reap the Sow
Xu Muhua stood in the back and was still thinking about who would suffer if the Princess Qingning and the princess bumped into each other? One is the daughter of the emperor, and the other is the daughter of the emperor's brother. They are closer than his own daughters. If they fight, will the emperor be embarrassed?
Xu Muhua never thought of being in the limelight, but she couldn't stand others not wanting to let her go!
"Who is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion? Stand up and let this princess take a look."
These words and the tone clearly treated Xu Muhua as a toy.
Xu Muhua knew it was all over when she heard this. Maybe the Princess Qingning wanted to take the opportunity to help Li Qingru vent her anger!
Alas, these people are so high and mighty that they don't care about the truth or whether others are innocent. They only care about whether they feel comfortable or not, and don't care whether others live or die.
This is an evil feudal society!
After being named, Xu Muhua certainly couldn't just hide behind as if she was deaf. Even if Pei Shaorong noticed that Princess Qingning was coming with bad intentions, she couldn't stand up to stop her at this time. If something goes wrong, both of them will suffer.
"I am honored to meet Princess Qingning. I wish you all the best."
Xu Muhua saluted Princess Qingning in a proper manner, half squatting.
But Princess Qingning did not let her stand up. She still sat on the horse, looking down at Xu Muhua from a high position, "Are you the so-called young lady who was adopted by the Chengguo Mansion since childhood?"
"Thanks to my grandfather's kindness and compassion, I was adopted by the Chengguo Mansion and grew up safely in the Chengguo Mansion."
"Raise your head so that this princess can see you."
Xu Muhua raised her head obediently, but her eyes did not look directly at Princess Qingning.
Seeing Xu Muhua's appearance clearly, Princess Qingning snorted lightly, and the displeasure in her eyes became stronger.
This Xu Muhua is pretty! If she whips him, will this face be destroyed?
Princess Qingning held the whip in her hand, and she was ready to move.
Xu Muhua's sight happened to fall on the horse's back, and she also saw the little movements of Princess Qingning.
Tsk, this Princess Qingning is indeed worthy of her reputation. It seems that she wants to whip her with a horsewhip?
That won't do!
She half lowered her eyes, and quickly glanced around with the corner of her eye. She saw a familiar shadow on a short branch opposite. Her heart settled down.
Before leaving today, she had agreed with Big Spot and Little Spot to let them help keep an eye on her, and if she encountered anything special, they would help her at the critical moment.
After all, according to her many years of experience in reading novels, some messy things often happen at this time. And she didn't know whether the Fifth Prince had made arrangements. She couldn't joke about her own safety and the heroine's safety!
Daban and Xiaoban said that there were many birds and beasts in the forest, so it was no problem for her to have fun. With the two brothers around, no one could hurt her.
These words moved her so much that she decided to treat them to a feast of honey when she returned!
Princess Qingning didn't say anything, and neither did the others. Just when a few girls couldn't hold back and the people on Pei Shaorong's side wanted to speak, Princess Qingning suddenly swung the whip in her hand and swung it at Xu Muhua!
Pei Shaorong's pupils shrank, and she took a breath and blurted out, "Muhua!"
A cold light flashed across Xu Muhua's eyes. She looked up in shock and saw the whip coming at her. She seemed to be scared silly, and didn't move, and didn't even blink.
Seeing that the whip was about to hit Xu Muhua's face, Princess Qingning showed a bloodthirsty smile on her face. She was not worried at all, and she was not afraid that she would whip the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion.
But when the whip was about to hit Xu Muhua, there was a cry in the sky, and then a black shadow swooped over!
No one could even see clearly what the black shadow was. They only felt a sharp wind blowing over their heads. Everyone instinctively hugged their heads and squatted on the ground, and then heard a scream! It
was not until they felt that the danger had passed that someone carefully let go of their hands and raised their heads. They first looked around, and finally set their sights in front of them - "Ah!"
A scream woke everyone up, and everyone looked different.
Princess Qingning, who had been riding on the horse with a high attitude before, had fallen off the horse. What was worse was that she seemed to have been attacked by something. Not only her body, but also her face had a bloody mark, and it was bleeding!
"Princess!"
After something like this happened, the first thing to do was to send Princess Qingning back to the tent to call the imperial physician! If something happened to her, she might be punished even if it had nothing to do with them!
In the panic, everyone forgot about Xu Muhua.
Princess Qingning's incident naturally alarmed the queen, and the queen even went to Princess Qingning's tent in person.
"What happened? Princess Qingning was injured? Didn't she have guards with her?"
Before the others could tell the whole story, a lady following Princess Qingning suddenly pointed at Xu Muhua and said loudly: "It's her, the Queen, she hurt the princess like this!"
When Princess Qingning's mother heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to rush over and hit Xu Muhua, "This little bastard, how dare you hurt my daughter, I must tear you into pieces and avenge my daughter!"
Fortunately, the nanny beside her stopped her in time.
The Queen is still here!
The Queen recognized Xu Muhua and frowned: "Miss Xu, what's going on? Why do you want to harm Princess Qingning?"
Pei Shaorong stood up and bowed to the Queen before saying: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Muhua. Princess Qingning seemed to be injured by a beast. At that time, a beast suddenly flew over, and only Princess Qingning was sitting on the horse, so..."
The Queen looked at the other ladies.
The other ladies nodded.
It was true, so many people saw it, it was impossible to lie!
The queen's face darkened, and she looked at the young lady who had just accused Xu Muhua, and said in a cold voice: "If that's the case, why did you accuse Miss Xu of harming Qingning just now? What exactly do you have in mind? Could it be that this matter has something to do with you, so you are in a hurry to push the responsibility and the crime onto others?"
The man's knees softened and he knelt on the ground, shaking his head with a pale face: "No, your majesty, no, it's not me..."
The imperial physician had just finished treating Princess Qingning's wounds, and came over to say, "Your Majesty, the wounds on Princess Qingning's body and face were indeed caused by a beast, and it seems to be an eagle's claws."
"Yes, yes, yes! The big bird that suddenly swooped over seemed to be an eagle! Its open wings seemed to cover the sky and the sun, and at that time we felt that the sunlight above our heads had disappeared! The wind it brought when it flew over blew our hair into a mess!"
