"I heard that Princess Chen has over eighty sets of skincare products. It's impossible that they were all taken away by someone else. There should be one or two sets left, right?"
"How could that be? I make as many as people ask for, so I really don't have any extra. From Concubine Zhong's tone, it seems that you really like my products. If you want them, you can place an order now, because we are rushing to make the second batch. As for the cost, I have already discussed it with Miss Shui'er. I think Miss Shui'er should have told you, Concubine Zhong, right?"
“…”
Zhong Lihua didn't expect that she would be rejected in person after asking for skin care products in person. She was very angry.
Looking at the unmelted ice in the pond, Zhong Lihua suddenly had an evil thought. She said to Shu Jiaying, "Princess Chen, look, doesn't that floating ice over there look like a cute little white rabbit? Look...it's already floating towards us."
"Where?"
Shu Jiaying wanted to take a step forward to take a look, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a rabbit actually jumped out of the grass.
In a playful mood, Shu Jiaying immediately ran sideways to catch the rabbit, but Zhong Lihua, who had been standing behind her, had never expected her to do such a thing.
Zhong Lihua, who originally wanted to push Shu Jiaying into the pond, missed her with her hands and fell into the pond with a splash.
Shui'er, who was standing by, was stunned. After a long pause, she finally cried out, "Oh no... Oh no, the Imperial Concubine has fallen into the water. Someone, come and help!"
The guards not far away heard the cry for help, and they jumped into the pond at an extremely fast speed. Soon they rescued Zhong Lihua to the shore.
Shu Jiaying didn't expect that she just went to catch a rabbit, but Zhong Lihua would fall into the water. She ran to Zhong Lihua with the little white rabbit in her arms.
Looking at Zhong Lihua, who looked like a drowned rat, Shu Jiaying asked with concern: "Concubine Zhong, are you okay?"
"Someone... hurry up and catch her! She's the one who kicked me into the pond! She's trying to murder me!"
“…”
"Who are you? Who is so bold as to want to murder my beloved concubine?"
Before Shu Jiaying had the time to defend herself, Yu Jianxuan's voice, as cold as ice, reached her ears. Although he did not give any orders, the guards next to him quickly tied Shu Jiaying up and stuffed a piece of white cloth into her mouth.
Shu Jiaying looked down at the little white rabbit in her arms who was also tied up. She could only curse MMP countless times in her heart. She didn't expect that Zhong Lihua had wrongly accused her, but the emperor didn't even ask clearly at the beginning, and he actually let his guards tie him up?
Just when she wanted to ask Xiaoxue for help, when she looked around, Shu Jiaying found that Xiaoxue was gone.
Knowing that Xiaoxue would take the opportunity to run to find a savior, Shu Jiaying was not so worried. She remained in the tied-up posture holding the rabbit and looked at Yu Jianxuan fearlessly.
Yu Jianxuan was somewhat surprised by Shu Jiaying's calmness. He asked, "You attempted to murder Concubine Zhong, which is a capital crime. I ask you now, do you plead guilty?"
“Mmmmm (not guilty)!”
"Alright, since you're silent, that means you agree. Now that we have all the evidence, I will sentence you to death immediately. Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death."
(Mad…giving someone the death penalty like this is a bit far-fetched, isn’t it?)
