Ni Yueshan was not overly respectful, but spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Although he was clearly kneeling, he gave people a feeling of coldness and arrogance.
"Go down!"
"I'm leaving!"
Ni Yueshan never made eye contact with Jing Yuchen from beginning to end, but the two of them helped each other. Ni Yueshan knew when to advance and retreat, which the queen admired very much.
It is really puzzling that such a person like Ni Yueshan was divorced.
The Imperial Concubine looked at Ni Yueshan's leaving figure with displeasure. Since the first time she met Ni Yueshan, she had not succeeded in bringing her down. This Ni Yueshan was no ordinary person!
Concubine Wan breathed a sigh of relief silently. Fortunately, the Queen would be more satisfied with Ni Yueshan because of this.
"Father, today General Zou and Miss Ni made a bet to see who could hunt more prey. But Miss Ni followed General Zou and fell into a trap. General Zou escaped without offering any assistance. Father, this... General Zou was eager to win, but doesn't it seem a bit unfair?"
Jing Yuchen’s problem has just been solved, and now you’re worrying about Ni Yueshan’s problem?
"Father, General Zou may not have realized that Miss Ni had fallen into a trap! And although Miss Ni fell into a trap and could not hunt, that doesn't mean Miss Ni didn't lose, right?"
"Although gambling isn't a good idea, every time there's an annual hunt, there are always those who are curious about who will win and who will lose, and they place bets. Having stakes can motivate participants to be more motivated! Father, please make your decision!"
Don’t let Ni Yueshan’s misfortune ruin everyone’s fun!
Ni Yueshan protected Jing Yuchen? Jing Yuchen wanted to protect Ni Yueshan?
He just won't let people have their way!
"I don't want to get involved in the fun of you young people playing around!"
Jing Yuchen frowned and looked at Jing Chengzhi with displeasure. He looked as if he had suddenly thought of something and asked:
"I forgot to ask just now, Fourth Brother, did you really hear me swearing? And Miss Yang begging for mercy?"
Jing Chengzhi made him unhappy, so he retaliated!
Jing Chengzhi frowned and replied with a smile: "At that time, the bottom of the cave was quite a distance from the ground. I heard voices talking below. Now that I think about it, I'm beginning to doubt that I heard it wrongly!"
"Then Fourth Brother, be careful what you say next time, otherwise it will be considered a false accusation!"
Jing Yuchen warned him, and although Jing Chengzhi was unhappy, he could not refute it. He responded guiltily: "Second brother is right, fourth brother will remember your teachings!"
At this time, the palace maid who had followed Yang Wanqing in came out. She bowed respectfully to the Emperor and Empress before reporting, "Your Majesty, Empress, after examination, there is no blood on Miss Yang's body!"
There was no trace of Ni Yueshan's blood on Yang Wanqing's body, which meant that Jing Yuchen had not raped Yang Wanqing, so Yang Wanqing made a false accusation!
Jing Yuchen immediately pleaded, "Father, this woman is sinister and vicious, and she wants to destroy my reputation. If she succeeds, I will be cursed behind my back for the rest of my life. Please, Father, help me!"
The emperor looked serious and said majestically: "Bring the person here!"
When Yang Wanqing came out, her steps were weak, her face was pale, and she knelt down on the ground, "Your servant deserves to die, your servant deserves to die!"
She knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, so she naturally had to beg for mercy.
"Tell me, why did you falsely accuse the Second Prince? Were you instructed to do so? What was your purpose?"
The emperor's eyes were sinister as he stared at Yang Wanqing, making her feel uneasy and under great pressure.
She shrank back, lowered her head, and glanced at Jing Chengzhi beside her.
Jing Chengzhi felt her gaze and his face darkened. He wanted to give her a hint, but he was afraid that the emperor was too wise, so he held back and kept silent.
"explain!"
The emperor's tone became increasingly cold, and Yang Wanqing's face paled even more. "Your Highness, your Highness... your Highness is guilty. Actually, it's because I admire the Second Prince, but he has never even looked at me. That's why I resorted to this desperate measure! If this gets out, my reputation will be ruined! I beg Your Highness for your mercy!"
Giving Jing Chengzhi away would only implicate him, but wouldn't help her. Instead, it would make him dislike her and turn him against her. However, if she held on to Jing Yuchen, she still had a chance to become Jing Chengzhi's man and work undercover for him! Get rid of Jing Yuchen!
"Before, you said you admired the Fourth Prince, and now he's the Second Prince. Which of your words are true?" Concubine Wan scolded. Yang Wanqing still wants to take Ni Yueshan's position? Delusion!
Yang Wanqing seemed not to have heard Concubine Wan's words, and only insisted: "Your Majesty, what this servant said is absolutely true. If this servant cannot enter the Second Prince's residence this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a husband's family to accept me in the future!"
Then she prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed hard, feeling extremely aggrieved!
