Chapter 284: The Self-Torture Scheme Exposed



The broken porcelain shattered on the ground, and some fragments also splashed onto the hem of Gong Yunfei's clothes. The thick tea stains stained the snow-white brocade, as if confirming Zong Zheng Xiaoting's guilt.

She had never expected that Zong Zheng Xiaoting would be so cold-hearted. For a moment, everyone was stunned. Gong Yunfei felt very aggrieved, biting her lips, her eyes slightly red, but secretly happy in her heart. Zong Zheng Xiaoting's disrespect for others was the best result for her. In this way, whether it was Brother Xunxiao or the Queen Mother, everyone would think that she, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, was looking for trouble. Originally, today, she wanted to let the Queen Mother know that Zong Zheng Xiaoting was the kind of person who could not get the message she liked even if she compromised.

The more she lowered her posture, the more she could highlight Zong Zheng Xiao Ting's arrogance. She originally needed to complain about her grievances and use Gong Yunluo to achieve her goals, but now she no longer needed to do so. These tea stains and fragments could well reflect the facts in front of people.

With a calculating gleam in her eyes, Gong Yunfei deliberately cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes, and covered her ankle. Naturally, when she bent down, relying on her martial arts skills, she picked up the fragments at lightning speed and pressed them against her ankle, and the blood gradually dyed her dress red.

The maid's face was pale and she hurried, "Princess, I will go get the imperial physician."

Seeing her master injured, the maid ran out of Yunxiao Courtyard in a hurry. Zongzheng Xiaoting sneered at this sudden situation, "The torture trick is really good."

Gong Yunfei's face was pale with rage, and he felt very aggrieved. "Princess, why are you so cruel? Why can't you tolerate me?"

"There are so many innocent souls inside and outside Prince Zhan's mansion. Who knows whether they were killed by Princess Yunluo or by you?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting sneered, looking at Gong Yunfei's face, which no longer had the smile on it.

"Why is the princess so aggressive?" Gong Yunfei couldn't help sobbing, "Does it mean that in Luozha Country, ordinary people can be on an equal footing with the royal family?"

"What a pity. For me, this family doesn't need too much etiquette. I even forgot to tell the princess. If the princess wants to talk about etiquette, as far as I can see now, Xiang Bichi is very popular with the prince. Even if you really enter the palace, you may not be the only concubine. I believe you also understand that in the harem, the status of concubines and the power of the mother's family are not the determining factors of status. As long as the concubine is favored, she often dominates others. The princess knows this principle no less than I do." Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up and looked down at Gong Yunfei. "Since this is the case, the princess should understand it even more. In the Zhan Wang Mansion, it is even more so. There is a difference between concubines who are equally favored and those who get in by swindling."

Hearing this, Xiang Bichi's playful smile deepened. She looked at Gong Yunfei with a hint of provocation. She stood up and took a few steps closer, saying to Gong Yunfei, "Princess, why is the princess bleeding more and more? We should leave the palace, so as not to cause any unpleasantness and embarrass the prince!"

Xiang Bichi quickly squatted down and helped Gong Yunfei up. Yin Yu, who was standing beside him, also hurriedly picked up the fragments. Although he knew that Xiang Bichi had a provocation in her eyes, he had to suppress his displeasure and let her get close to him.

On this side, Xiang Bi Chi helped herself up, and on the other side, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was arrogant and unmoved. As Gong Yunfei expected, the maid really brought Situ Xunxiao and Chen Xianzhi to Yunxiao Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the hall, Situ Xunxiao frowned, "What's going on?"

"I've met the prince!"

"Brother Xunxiao!"

There were several voices, all of which were filled with surprise. Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Situ Xunxiao walking in, his face clearly showing some displeasure.

"Let the princess see it first." Situ Xunxiao frowned, looked at Chen Xianzhi, strode to the main seat and sat down, and said, "Everyone, get up."

"yes!"

Xiang Bichi and others stood up and sat down one after another. Chen Xianzhi also hurriedly helped Gong Yunfei to the side and took out the medicine box to check her.

Situ Xunxiao glanced at the ground, frowned and said, "Even if the princess is angry, she shouldn't lose her manners."

"Yun Fei was accidentally affected by the debris. Don't worry, Brother Xunxiao." Gong Yun Fei had a kind face and a smile that was as gentle as it could be.

However, when he saw the injury on Gong Yunfei's ankle, he frowned. This injury was definitely not caused by contagion. Although it was not visible from the outside, it was very clear to him whether it was man-made or accidental. Coupled with what Gong Yunfei had just said to Situ Xunxiao, Chen Xianzhi understood even more that this was definitely a self-torture trick by his junior sister.

"Doctor Chen, what's the situation?" Situ Xunxiao couldn't help but ask when he saw Prophet Chen frowning.

"In reply to your Highness, the princess's injury is not unexpected. However, in my opinion, it was indeed the princess who accidentally crushed the fragments." After Chen Xianzhi said this, Gong Yunfei's face looked a little ugly. What she just said was that she was accidentally affected, but she did not explain it in detail. In other words, this ambiguous statement depends on how the people who understand it look at it. Under normal circumstances, everyone naturally thinks that Zong Zheng Xiaoting smashed the porcelain because he was too angry, and the fragments shattered and flew around, affecting herself.

But, what about now? Once Chen the Prophet's words came out, everyone would change their direction again. Everyone would unanimously think that after the fragments fell to the ground, they accidentally picked up the fragments. But if it was just that, it would be fine. Unfortunately, everyone present knew that Gong Yunfei had not moved a step at all. What about Brother Xunxiao? If it was said that she accidentally picked it up, the wound would only be on the sole of the foot and not on the ankle. But if the wound was on the ankle, it must be that she accidentally fell, and how could the wound from falling only be on the ankle!

Prophet Chen's words did her no good but only harm!

Sure enough, Xiang Bichi and the others looked at her with some fear and vigilance, while Situ Xunxiao, who was originally concerned, looked at her with a gaze that gradually turned a little colder.

Zongzheng Xiaoting sat next to Situ Xunxiao and laughed softly, "Haha, I am really lucky to have the imperial physician's sharp eyes, otherwise I would have to suffer some humiliation now."

If everyone just had doubts in their hearts, then now, what Zong Zheng Xiaoting said was to sentence Gong Yunfei to death.
