Jiang Qingqing's persistent questioning completely annoyed Han Qingyi.

She was moving among the crowd, and seeing that she couldn't avoid Jiang Qingqing's questioning, she simply stood firm, turned around and started cursing at Jiang Qingqing.

"Whether I get married or not, what does it have to do with you!? You haven't even found a husband for a long time? How dare you say this to me!?"

Han Qingyi took a step forward, pointed her finger at Jiang Qingqing's chest, and looked at her with eyes wide open.

Jiang Qingqing guessed that Han Qingyi's personality couldn't be that evasive.

"I have just reached the age of marriage, and I am in the prime of my life. I am not in a hurry to choose a good husband. What about you?"

"I!"

Han Qingyi was choked and she obviously hesitated for a moment.

The dispute between the two people quickly attracted everyone's attention.

As the head of the palace, Empress Xu was naturally the first to step forward to separate the two. She took a few quick steps, but before she could reach out to pull Han Qingyi away.

Suddenly, an orange shadow jumped out from between the two of them, accompanied by the sharp meow of a cat. The next second, Han Qingyi's tragic scream was heard, and Jiang Qingqing quickly pushed Han Qingyi away.

The orange cat ran so fast that in the blink of an eye, it first ran between Jiang Qingqing and Han Qingyi, and then jumped into the arms of Empress Xu, who was always afraid of cats.

The whole thing developed too quickly. Before anyone could react, the orange cat ran out of Kunning Palace meowing, and the whole scene in the yard began to become chaotic.

Empress Xu was startled and her steps softened. If the senior palace maid beside her had not quickly supported her, she would have made a fool of herself.

But things are not going well for Han Qingyi and Jiang Qingqing.

Han Qingyi was pushed to the ground by Jiang Qingqing in front of everyone. Han Qingyi, who was unable to stand, fell to the ground in a mess, covering the left side of his face with both hands, and his expression looked unnatural.

The action of pushing someone was still suspended in mid-air, and Jiang Qingqing stared blankly at Han Qingyi who had fallen to the ground.

The concubines and palace maids who reacted quickly gathered around Han Qingyi, and someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Then, everyone saw Han Qingyi let go of her hand, and three scratches appeared on her smooth and white cheek. The middle one looked the deepest, with the flesh turned out.

As the exclamations came one after another, Empress Xu hurriedly asked someone to call people from the Imperial Hospital over.

One group of people went to check whether Empress Xu was frightened, while another group of people went to check on Han Qingyi's injuries.

For a moment, everyone forgot about Jiang Qingqing's existence.

Jiang Qingqing saw the wound on Han Qingyi's face, and it was undeniable that she was indeed panicked. But when Concubine Zhao came to her side, Jiang Qingqing's panic calmed down.

"It's my fault for not asking the palace servants to keep a close eye on the wild cat. It ran out like this. It's my fault. Is Your Highness frightened?"

Jiang Qingqing turned her head to look at Concubine Zhao beside her, and the slightly panicked look on her face calmed down a bit when she looked at her.

Jiang Qingqing did not open her mouth to answer Concubine Zhao's words and remained silent from beginning to end.

The courtyard was suddenly in an uproar because of the wild cat.

More than one person was injured. Empress Xu was frightened and sat in the main seat in a state of uneasiness. Han Qingyi, who was sitting in the seat below and was surrounded by a group of people, looked extremely pale.

If only Empress Xu was frightened, this matter would still be an internal dispute of Tianqi. However, the person who was most seriously injured was not Tianqi's own people, but the envoy sent by Li State, who is now the eldest princess of Li State.

Emperor Qing, who rushed over after receiving the news, first saw Jiang Qingqing, who was sitting aside in the hall with only Concubine Zhao by her side.

He just took a quick glance and quickly shifted his gaze to Han Qingyi standing beside him.

Emperor Qing asked calmly, "What is the doctor's verdict?"

The imperial physician hurriedly stepped out of the crowd, bowed respectfully, and then said: "The wound on Princess Li's face is not poisonous at the moment, but it's just that a girl has been injured on her face. If she doesn't take good care of it, she will probably leave a scar."

After these words were spoken, the expressions of some people in the hall became complicated.

When Jiang Qingqing heard Emperor Qing's voice, she regained her composure and looked up at her cheap father.

"Someone, tell me everything that happened. What happened?"

Emperor Qing sat directly on the main seat, glanced at Empress Xu, patted her shoulder, and then turned to look at everyone in the hall.

Concubine Zhao thought for a moment, stood up, and walked to the center of the hall. She first said sincerely that the wild cat that scratched Princess Li was a kitten from her palace. Then she said that she saw the scene of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Princess Li arguing in the courtyard, and that Her Royal Highness the Princess pushed Princess Li to the ground and other related details.

As Jiang Qingqing listened to Concubine Zhao's story, she felt more and more strange, but every word Concubine Zhao said was true.

She just sat in her original seat, not saying anything or defending herself, looking straight at Emperor Qing who was sitting in the main seat.

Emperor Qing seemed a little surprised to hear Concubine Zhao's truthful report, but he quickly suppressed his surprise and cast his gaze heavily on Jiang Qingqing.

"Dun Ming, you hurt the friendly envoy sent by the Li Kingdom and injured his face. What crime should you be punished for?"

A loud scolding silenced everyone in Kunning Palace.

Emperor Qing has always been gentle to others. Even when he encountered something annoying in the previous dynasty, he never scolded others like this.

Empress Xu had been resting her forehead and closing her eyes to calm herself, but when she heard Emperor Qing's scolding, she quickly raised her head and saw Emperor Qing looking at Jiang Qingqing with a gloomy expression.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"This matter has nothing to do with Qingqing. Who knew that the wild cat would suddenly run out?" Queen Xu spoke to try to absolve Jiang Qingqing of some of the blame.

Jiang Qingqing pursed her lips as she listened to what Queen Xu said.

Emperor Qing looked at Empress Xu with his eyes wide open, and asked back: "Isn't this irrelevant? If she hadn't chased Princess Li, would she have disturbed the cat? Why did she push someone again!?"

Emperor Qing strictly refuted these arguments, but Empress Xu still wanted to explain that the wild cat was not Jiang Qingqing's.

At this moment, Jiang Qingqing took the initiative to step forward.

"It's my fault. I know I'm guilty." Jiang Qingqing lowered her head and blocked all the blame.

Concubine Zhao, who was watching the show on the side, originally wanted to see what kind of good old woman Empress Xu would be, but when she heard Jiang Qingqing's words, her eyebrows jumped.

"Your Highness! This cat..." Concubine Zhao spoke quickly.
