Great, someone's here!
Zi Tong's eyes flickered, a sinister smile flashing across her lips. She immediately knelt down and used her only remaining hand to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain from the ground: "Your Highness, this servant is truly here to apologize on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress. Please don't be angry."
"Besides, even if you're angry, you can't smash the porcelain vase that the Emperor bestowed upon you! Let me pick it up for you... Ahhh!"
The next moment, Zi Tong lost all interest in acting, her affected words came to an abrupt end, and only a scream remained.
Because Si Jin had already stood up, silently approached her, and stepped directly into the broken porcelain shards, crushing her hand mercilessly.
The pain of her severed hand, combined with fear, surged into her heart once again. Zi Tong's lips turned pale, and she screamed like a madwoman, hoping that someone outside the door would come and rescue her.
Sure enough, soon the black official boots of the Changning Division came into view, and looking up, it was Shao Linyuan!
In that instant, Zitong almost burst into tears of excitement. Thank goodness, her savior had arrived!
These past few days, rumors have been circulating in the palace that Commander Shao has been training the fox so harshly that he has almost killed the fox demon.
Now she's got something on her, hasn't she?
"Commander Shao!" Zitong shouted, "The wild fox has gone mad! Arrest him! Help me!"
But the next moment, the "mad" fox demon walked up to Shao Linyuan, took the berries, and pointed at the kneeling woman with a self-righteous air.
He squeezed out a long, mournful "ooh" from his throat.
It's as if it's saying, "I've been bullied."
Zitong: ...
She was speechless at Si Jin's reaction, but it didn't matter. This thing couldn't talk, and as long as it couldn't talk, she had a chance of winning.
Zitong gritted her teeth: "Commander Shao, the fox broke the vase bestowed by the Emperor and even stepped on my hand into the shards of porcelain, look..."
"Oh?" To everyone's surprise, Shao Linyuan was not annoyed at all. Instead, he seemed to have heard some great news and turned to ask Si Jin, "You broke it?"
The little fox shook its head and pointed at the woman on the ground again.
Shao Linyuan's face fell immediately. He ordered the guards to drag Zitong out and sternly instructed, "Tell the Emperor that the Empress sent her to break the vase in an attempt to frame the fox. Let the Emperor see if she is still worthy of being the Empress!"
"No, no! I won't go!" Zi Tong cried out in despair as she was dragged away.
In this era, she was considered a favored daughter of heaven, so how did she end up like this after meeting a little fox demon?
She was unwilling to accept it, so unwilling!
"My lord, my lord!" Little Yao's eyes widened, her tiger claws flaring: "Zitong's been dragged away again!"
"Yes." Si Jin replied through divine sense while biting into a strawberry: "This is enough to completely shatter her relationship with the Empress. Our counterattack plan can begin."
"Aww." As she spoke, Shao Linyuan brought her another berry. Si Jin opened her mouth and took a bite, then quickly pulled all the berries to her side, unwilling to share them or even look at the person opposite her.
Shao Linyuan: ?
When she was being slandered just now, wasn't she still whining and acting cute?
Now that Zitong is gone, it's...
Commander Shao, who always held absolute power, was stumped for the first time by a demon. He finally took a deep breath and murmured, "The world is cold and heartless. When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked."
The little fox seemed to understand, giving him a knowing look before eating all the berries and pushing the remaining green leaves to him.
"Waaah." (This is for you, you heartless man.)
