Jiang Jingyue's few words startled Consort De, leaving her completely stunned.
However, Jiang Jingyue was not going to let her off the hook and continued to speak.
"Your Highness, so far only you have seen me playing here. If this gets out, wouldn't it mean that it was Your Highness, the Virtuous Consort, who spread it?"
"I don't care, since I haven't done anything wrong. My only concern is that if Consort De doesn't keep her mouth shut, trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later."
After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking
He kept staring at Consort De, wanting to see how she would react.
Seeing the flickering in her eyes, Jiang Jingyue knew that her guess was right. Although she hadn't done anything here, if someone wanted to slander you, they could come up with a thousand and one reasons.
Jiang Jingyue realized that Consort De had this intention, so she thought of testing her, but she didn't expect that she would actually find out.
Seeing her guilty expression, Jiang Jingyue found it somewhat amusing.
At this moment, it is unknown what Consort De saw. Jiang Jingyue had been observing her, so it can be seen that her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she did something that Jiang Jingyue did not expect.
She quickly retreated, and after retreating a certain distance, she suddenly fell heavily into the flower bushes beside her.
But she probably didn't expect that there might be many unexpected surprises hidden among the flowers.
She screamed as soon as she fell.
Jiang Jingyue guessed that there might be some flower branches or something inside, and given the force with which she fell, she must have been pricked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it hurts so much!"
At first, Jiang Jingyue didn't quite understand why Consort De suddenly did this. But when she heard who Consort De was calling out to, a realization flashed in Jiang Jingyue's eyes.
She slowly looked back and, sure enough, saw Mo Yuhan walking towards her. Because she had her back to him, she had no idea.
Consort De, who was directly opposite her, could see everything clearly.
No wonder she suddenly did that, but seeing how messy she looked after falling, Jiang Jingyue suddenly found it quite funny.
Just as Jiang Jingyue was in a daze, Mo Yuhan had already arrived beside her.
He approached Jiang Jingyue and immediately looked her up and down. Only after confirming that Jiang Jingyue was alright did the worried expression on Mo Yuhan's face return to calm.
He had just seen Jiang Jingyue standing not far away and was about to walk over when he saw the person standing next to her suddenly fall backward, which really startled him.
He rushed over as quickly as possible, and when he saw that Jiang Jingyue was alright, Mo Yuhan was truly relieved.
Consort De, who was lying on the ground crying in pain, was initially overjoyed when she saw the Emperor rushing over. However, when she saw that the Emperor's eyes were filled with Consort Jing, Consort De was on the verge of collapse.
"Your Majesty, I am in so much pain! Could you please help me up?"
There was no other way for Consort De to do this but play the victim and see if the Emperor would take care of her.
Consort De's shout finally drew Mo Yuhan's attention.
However, when Mo Yuhan looked at her lying there, there was not a trace of pity in his eyes, but rather disgust.
When Consort De saw the look in Mo Yuhan's eyes, her arm, which she had been forcing to stand up, suddenly collapsed.
He collapsed there, his body completely drained of strength in that instant.
“Su Changde, take Consort De back. She’s such a grown woman, and it’s one thing for her to not care about her image at all, but to lie here like this is simply unbecoming.”
Consort De had been lying there, feeling utterly hopeless, because the Emperor's gaze had just pierced her heart.
The moment Su Changde helped her up, she looked at Consort Jing, who was being embraced by the Emperor.
A surge of resentment welled up inside her.
Consort De pushed Su Changde away abruptly, ignoring the pain beneath her, and immediately threw herself at Mo Yuhan's feet.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must do justice for me! The reason I am in this state is all because of Consort Jing. If Consort Jing hadn't suddenly pushed me, I wouldn't be like this at all. I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me and give me a fair trial."
Hearing her say that, Mo Yuhan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the little woman in his arms, and asked with a smile.
"Yueyue, what Consort De said, do you have anything to say? I will believe whatever you say."
Mo Yuhan looked at Jiang Jingyue with eyes full of doting affection. This woman truly hurt him deeply, though he couldn't explain why.
Perhaps Jiang Jingyue just happens to be his type, just right for him, just right to stir his heart.
These are the only reasons that Mo Yuhan can think of; there are simply no other possibilities.
Mo Yuhan's words shattered Consort De's illusions.
Upon hearing Mo Yuhan's words, Jiang Jingyue's bright eyes darted around as if she were plotting something mischievous.
Looking at Jiang Jingyue like this, Mo Yuhan did not think she was scheming. On the contrary, he found her lively and cute.
"Your Majesty, I did not push Consort De. Consort De suddenly retreated like a madwoman and then fell into the flower bushes. Your Majesty, why did Consort De suddenly act like this? Could she be suffering from some kind of madness?"
After saying that, Jiang Jingyue immediately burrowed into Mo Yuhan's arms, as if she was very scared.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid."
Mo Yuhan instinctively hugged her back and patted her back, silently comforting Jiang Jingyue.
Seeing what was happening in front of her, Consort De was so angry that she was trembling all over. Her anger kept rising, and her throat tasted bloody. If she hadn't tried her best to control herself, she might have vomited blood from anger.
She thought she had done everything perfectly, that she had discovered the Emperor's presence immediately, and that her mind had been racing ever since.
However, time was limited, and this was the only method she could think of. The moment she thought of it, she immediately put it into action. Unexpectedly, the Emperor did not listen to what she had to say at all. Instead, he said that he would believe whatever Consort Jing said.
At this moment, in Consort De's eyes, Jiang Jingyue was a wicked concubine and a scourge to the world. In her current state, this woman could not be allowed to live.
