Chapter 54: Saint Girl Doesn’t Fall in Love 23

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. If someone died at the eldest princess' flower viewing party, today would not be a good ending.

When Xiao Che heard her voice, he trembled and raised his head suddenly, as if he had just come to his senses. He subconsciously reached out to grab Mingnan's hand.

Mingnan dodged without leaving a trace. The prince stepped forward and stood between the two men. With his back to everyone, he glanced at Xiao Yu with a warning, "Twelfth brother, what's going on?"

Xiao Zhe's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and it was chilling when he stared at someone.

The prince did not shy away, but let him look at him. He asked in a stern and businesslike tone:

"Why are you here instead of watching the show at the banquet? What happened to this maid? Why did she faint?"

Xiao Yu did not answer immediately. He raised his eyes and glanced back. When he met all kinds of curious and inquiring gazes, his vision went dark.

Today he really failed to gain anything while losing the rice. No matter what the final result is, he will definitely be hated by Princess Yao'an.

Damn it!

He had clearly planned everything, so how could Mingnan get away with it?

His gaze finally fell on Mingnan's face. He wished he could burn her veil with his eyes and burn two holes in her face!

Mingnan stood behind the prince, raised his eyes and smiled at him, with a hint of undisguised contempt and provocation.

There was a buzzing sound in Xiao Yu's head.

She knew, she knew everything, she had planned all of this!

His heart was burning with anger, and he suddenly pushed the prince away, curled his arms and was about to hit Mingnan.

The bystanders did not react either. They did not expect him to attack so suddenly. They were shocked by this sudden change and did not move.

Seeing that the slap was about to land on Mingnan's face, the prince stepped forward instinctively, "You dare?!"

Mingnan stopped him with his backhand, and firmly grasped Xiao Che's wrist with his other hand.

Her hands were so thin, much smaller than Xiao Jue's, but she was able to hold Xiao Jue so tightly that he couldn't move.

Everyone was surprised when they realized what had happened.

Xiao Yu blushed and tried to pull his hand away, but to no avail.

Mingnan, on the other hand, can be described as calm and composed.

There was a hint of smile in her eyes. "What are you doing, Your Highness? Even if you are angry and embarrassed, you can't hit me, right? Not to mention that it is shameful for a man like you to hit a woman, just considering my status, you can't just hit me casually."

"You are indeed a prince, but I am also a princess appointed by His Majesty. If you want to hit me, you must have a convincing reason. Otherwise, I will definitely seek justice from His Majesty. I would like to trouble everyone present to bear witness for me."

Mingnan shook off Xiao Yu's hand and said in a deep voice, "I just took the pulse of this maid, and His Majesty the Twelfth Prince wanted to beat me. How ridiculous is that?"

Xiao Jue was thrown back by her and stared at Ming Nan with red eyes.

The gentleness and tenderness that he had pretended to have before disappeared, leaving only naked hatred.

Mingnan looked at him nonchalantly, seeming to admire his desperate struggle.

[Hate me, the more you hate me, the happier I am. ]

205: [Hmm~ Host, you are a bit perverted. ]

"I think you have been drugged and have lost your mind. Come, help the twelfth prince to sober up and explain what happened today and this maidservant..."

He glanced at Mingnan inconspicuously.

Mingnan gave him a look, indicating that he should deal with it.

The prince said, "Take her away and find a doctor to see her."

"yes!"

Someone in the crowd immediately responded and stepped forward to pull Xiao Lu, but Xiao Lu dodged and said coldly, "I can walk by myself."

He said that without looking at anyone and walked straight out of the room. Soon, the maid was also carried down.

"If there is nothing else, please go away. The Saint and I will explain this matter to the Princess."

The prince turned around, his majesty evident without even being angry.

Everyone present was not a fool. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew that they couldn't stay here for long. There must be other tricks. They didn't want to get involved, so they all said goodbye.

When most of the people had left, the prince turned around and asked Mingnan, "Will the maid waking up be harmful to you?"

"Are you going to keep her mouth shut if it's not good for you?" Mingnan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "No need. No matter what she says, no one will believe it."

The prince was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Mingnan smiled as she stepped over the threshold. The bright sunlight fell on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She raised her hand and placed it on her brow bone, and said softly, "Because it's not equal. If she said that I framed her, what would I want? If she said that I wanted to harm Xiao Che, that would be even funnier. Do I need such a despicable method to harm him?"

"On the contrary, it is more believable." Mingnan glanced at him, "You know what your father is like. Do you think he is so easy to fool?"

"Does this count as being fearless?" The prince stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with her reflection.

Mingnan snorted softly: "Why don't you say that I am arrogant because of my favor?"

The prince walked up to her, tilted his head to look at her, and asked gently, "Aren't you being arrogant because of your favor?"

"Whose favor do I rely on? You?" Mingnan frowned.

The prince smiled without saying a word and walked down the steps gracefully.

Mingnan: “…”

…

Things turned out to be pretty much what Mingnan had expected.

After waking up, the maid said she knew nothing. When asked where the medicine came from, she said she didn't know. When asked what happened before she fell into a coma, she said she didn't know.

When asked how she fainted, she didn't know.

When she was pressed to answer, she started to yell and scream, went crazy, and cried loudly while hugging herself.

It looks like crazy.

Princess Anguo felt it was bad luck, so she asked Xiao Zhe again. Xiao Zhe said that he had drunk too much and felt a little dizzy. He saw a chamber and wanted to go in to rest. Unexpectedly, there was someone else inside. He saw that the maid was unconscious, so he knocked her out.

The two men's testimonies were connected.

The prince asked him why he attacked Mingnan, and Xiao Che said that he was drunk and a little annoyed when he saw so many people around, and he didn't really want to do anything to Mingnan.

After Princess Anguo finished listening, she scolded Xiao Zhe and said to the Crown Prince and Mingnan, "It is true that Xiao Twelve was wrong in this matter, but at least he didn't really do anything. Let him apologize to the princess and let it go."

She sighed and said, "I have been holding flower viewing banquets for several years, and this has never happened before. If today's incident gets out, what will people say about it?"

If the noise got out of hand, people would say that she was not strict enough in her administration and could not even manage a maid. Not only would she be embarrassed, but she would also be afraid that some gossipers would doubt whether the flower viewing banquet was conducted cleanly.

By then, she won't be the only one affected.

Mingnan and the prince were also aware of this truth. They did not intend to make a big deal out of it, but they could not just let it go so lightly.

The prince observed everyone's reactions calmly, then pretended to be angry and said, "If it weren't for the princess's great martial arts, the slap from my twelfth brother would have hurt the princess badly. Is it enough to just apologize?"

The princess felt a little guilty. She pursed her lips and looked at Mingnan: "What do you think, Princess?"
