Sheng He immediately pulled the corners of her lips, bowed respectfully, and said with a fake smile, "It seems that Miss Cheng has doubts about what our princess said?"
When they heard Sheng He's words, their expressions changed again instantly.
After all, if Chu Ci didn't say anything, based on their understanding of the princess, she would not hold a grudge. But if Sheng He spoke, it would mean that the concubines in the palace and the families behind those concubines would all know about this matter.
Then this matter is serious. What's more, they are not blind, so they can naturally see that Chu Ci didn't use much force when she whipped her, and it was just a superficial injury, while Su Yu was hit hard.
Originally, if this matter was just that of Prince Xiao, even if it got out of hand, it wouldn't have caused so much panic among the people, but Chu Ci was involved.
This is simply a fatal question.
Chu Ci ignored what the people behind her were saying. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at the young boy in front of her, her hand still outstretched. However, the boy showed no intention of paying attention to her. He just kept his eyes down, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Isn't the ground cold? You'll get sick if you sit here when you're so thin."
Su Yu pursed his lips tightly, raised his eyes, and looked straight at Chu Ci with his dark eyes that were filled with a hint of inquiry, as if he wanted to see Chu Ci's true intentions from her actions.
But those eyes were too clean and pure, so he couldn't see anything. The fiery-colored skirt fell to the ground and was slightly stained, but it still couldn't cover up the clarity between her eyebrows.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, he paused slightly, suppressed his emotions, and finally raised his hand and extended his slightly trembling hand.
His fingertips were stained with mud, and his palms were scratched by the rough ground, bleeding.
It was in stark contrast to the tender little white hand. Su Yu paused and a drop of blood slid down from his fingertips, landing right on the palm of Chu Ci's hand. His pupils shrank slightly and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed.
Chu Ci frowned, and without waiting for the man to put his hand up, she directly held his hand and stood up.
He exerted force on his hands and pulled the man up.
Sheng He had basically handled the situation over there. After Young Master Cheng came to his senses, he quickly pulled Cheng Bi back. Cheng Bi turned pale when he realized that he had caused a big disaster. His originally domineering attitude disappeared instantly, and he just shrank behind a few people, trembling like a quail.
There was also a noble lady at the very front, who looked a little younger than Chu Ci. She was from the Liu family, the Empress's family, and her name was Liu Wanqing. She had said a few words to Young Master Cheng when he came up to take action. But unfortunately, not everyone in the harem liked Chu Ci, and the current Empress did not like Chu Ci very much.
So naturally, this noble lady from the Liu family was not as respectful and fearful as the others, but she was in the wrong after all, so she could only discuss a few words with Sheng He.
After all, making this kind of thing public is not good for anyone, so naturally there will be no results.
Chu Ci knew about it, but she had already taken action before. Seeing the blood on the man's forehead, her mood improved a little.
