The crowd following behind held their breath; one was a princess, and the other was the eldest granddaughter of a duke's family, both of whom were of very noble status.
They couldn't possibly interrupt a battle between immortals, but they were all watching with shining eyes and great interest!
Qin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, stretched out an arm, and looked languid.
Yingnuo, the maidservant by the bed, immediately stepped forward and helped her to her feet.
Qin Zhaoyue swayed gracefully as she slowly walked up to Miss Zheng. "What do you mean? Are you trying to slander me for having an affair with another man?"
"You!" Zheng Huiyin was startled, never expecting the other party to be so outspoken.
Snap!
The next moment, a slap landed hard on her face, the force and suddenness of the movement sending her sprawling to the ground.
Zheng Huiyin was stunned. Bright red finger marks immediately appeared on her delicate face, but after a few breaths she was overwhelmed by overwhelming anger.
The people behind him all took a step back. This Sixth Prince... was so reckless!
Today is Zheng Huiyin's birthday, and this is her Zheng Guogong Mansion. Yet, she took action based on a mere rumor.
However, considering this person's reputation, while I was terrified, it wasn't too surprising.
"You dare hit me...you dare hit me!"
Zheng Huiyin was furious, but then she froze on the spot.
Because she was knocked down, she could see under the bed, but there was no one hiding there, and Pei Xueqiao was nowhere to be seen!
What's going on... this shouldn't be happening...
While she was still in a daze, Qin Zhaoyue swept her sleeves, her face full of frost.
"Hit you? How dare you openly slander this prince? Hitting you would be too lenient."
I wonder how the Duke of Zheng's family has taught their descendants. They have lost all respect for the imperial family.
The old Duke was loyal his whole life; don't let him ruin his century-old reputation by coming to you.
"What is the relationship between ruler and subject? The old Duke didn't teach you, so I'll teach him a lesson on his behalf."
The entire room fell into a deathly silence; everyone was terrified and dared not utter a sound.
Yes, no matter how incompetent the Sixth Princess may be, she is still a member of the royal family.
He was the emperor, and she was his subject. With such a heavy label attached to her, even if this matter were brought to the emperor's court, Zheng Huiyin would have no grounds for complaint.
But everyone couldn't help but marvel.
It's understandable that she might hit someone over a disagreement; that's just her nature.
But this explanation completely shut Zheng Huiyin down. Was this still the same uneducated sixth princess?
"What a disappointment, let's go!"
Qin Zhaoyue was pleased with herself and, not wanting to linger in this troublesome place, quickly led her two maids out.
The crowd was stunned and quickly made way for them, bowing respectfully. No one dared to speak, for fear of hurting them.
After quickly moving a distance away, Qin Zhaoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I've watched a lot of period dramas, and more importantly, I have a high social status. I managed to break the deadlock with a flurry of punches.
However, the crisis is not completely over; there are still many flaws, and it's not time to celebrate halfway through.
"Gentle breeze, gentle breeze!"
She gave two low shouts, and sure enough, a gust of wind came, and the bodyguard Qingfeng appeared before her.
"Get out of here quickly and quietly take that Pei family member away without letting anyone find out."
"Your Highness, where are we taking him?"
"Princess's Residence".
Qingfeng: ...
Are they still not going to let it go? I dared not say anything, and immediately climbed over the wall and left.
Before long, he circled back to the base of the wall, while that Young Master Pei... was still writhing on the ground, it was simply unbearable to look at!
A gentle pat on the back of his head calmed Pei Xueqiao down instantly.
Qingfeng cautiously checked and, after confirming that the man was unconscious, he reluctantly picked him up and quickly left.
