As the voice came, Pei Zixuan's whole body stiffened, and she turned her head to look behind her with disbelief on her face.
It’s actually true?
This time, it’s actually true!
I saw a group of people slowly emerging from the forest on horseback.
Princess Xiyue looked down at him and hit him on the head.
And those following her were the Crown Prince, Prince Su, and the Crown Princess, weren't they?
Behind them was a large group of servants and guards, carrying a lot of prey in their hands.
When did so many people appear?
Why didn't anyone hear what they were doing just now!
Did they hear the whole story?
Pei Zixuan's expression changed slightly, and then she heard Princess Xiyue say happily, "Yo."
"Look, I saw a good show today."
"Lady Jing, you wouldn't do something as disgusting as stealing someone's prey just for the sake of your mother's red hairpin, would you?"
"When the fourth young lady of the Pei family was still in the boudoir, wasn't she famous for her gentleness, virtue, and kindness?"
"This kind of mean behavior is really unworthy of you."
They heard it!
He actually heard it from the moment she tried to take the hunted deer!
Pei Zixuan's face turned completely pale.
She looked at the Crown Princess.
He looked at the prince in panic again.
At this moment, she felt like a rat in a gutter, caught and completely exposed to the scorching sun.
The most shameful secret in her heart...
All the lovesickness that the girl once felt was now exposed to everyone.
What made her most ashamed was that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were also here!
How will they view themselves?
Will the Pei family be implicated because of his own mistakes?
Pei Zixuan couldn't help but look at the servants and saw the way they were staring at her.
dislike.
nausea.
disgust……
hatred……
These gazes nailed her to the pillar of shame like nails.
"Xi, Xiyue, you misunderstood."
"I was just joking with them. How could I really do such a thing?"
"There are so many people, and I don't have the ability to shut them all up."
She explained with a weak smile.
But few people present would believe his pale words and expression.
Princess Xiyue bluntly exposed her disguise: "Noble Lady Jing, are you still obsessed with the Crown Prince?"
"Otherwise, why would you keep targeting the eldest daughter of the Pan family?"
"Could it be... that you are jealous of her?"
Xiyue stared at Pei Zixuan with a smile.
"When you were still unmarried, your Pei family's plan...wasn't to have you enter the palace and become your father's concubine, right?"
Pei Zixuan trembled all over and was on the verge of collapse.
Although she tried her best to hold herself together, her panic-stricken face still exposed her.
"I don't……"
Crown Prince Duan Rongyin frowned and said, "Eldest sister, this is not a joke."
Although he had long understood that the Pei family had kept Pei Si Niang in order to give her to him.
But now she is a member of his father's concubine, and the prince has no fantasies about her.
Moreover, if this matter were to be brought to the attention of the emperor, it would surely create a rift between them.
The prince was so anxious to avoid such a loss-making thing that he just wanted to get over it as soon as possible.
But the look he gave Pei Zixuan was filled with a hint of disgust.
Nan Ping, with sharp eyes, suddenly pointed at something on the ground and asked, "Huh? What is this?"
She rushed forward like an arrow and picked up something that fell at Pei Zixuan's feet.
A completely white hollow crescent jade pendant.
The Crown Princess's expression changed immediately.
“Your Highness, you…!”
Others may not recognize it, but the Crown Princess and Prince Su will definitely recognize it!
This is a token of trust that Emperor Yan gave to the prince at a family banquet a few years ago. Only those close to him can receive it!
But if it is something so close to us, how could it be in Pei Zixuan's hands?
The Crown Princess immediately thought that the Crown Prince and Concubine Jing were really having an affair.
The confusion and disappointment in her eyes made the prince feel suffocated.
"I don't know what's going on! Princess, you have to believe me!"
The prince's explanation only earned him the princess's repeated disappointment and shake of her head.
When Pei Zixuan saw this thing, her face was filled with horror.
"No... Impossible..."
She didn't understand why this thing was on her body?
Cui Shiyi Niang: "This... isn't this what Pan Li and Princess Qinyu fought over by the lake that night?"
"Why is it..."
Cui Jiuniang covered Cui Shiyiniang's mouth tightly with her hands.
In an instant, the expressions of everyone who heard this changed completely.
Including the prince.
The Crown Princess, Princess Xiyue.
Only Prince Su's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Li Qingluo, who was still kneeling on the ground and had not stood up.
As for the jade pendant they were fighting over, he seemed to be unconcerned.
But the prince was extremely panicked at this moment.
This item was indeed the token of love he gave to Qinyu.
It turned out that Qinyu lost this thing?
That would be fine, but how could it be found on my father’s woman in the end?
The prince was naturally very angry.
If this matter continues, I'm afraid that there will be no way to talk it out between me and this noble lady Jing.
In order to prevent the misunderstanding from spreading further, the prince's face fell on the spot.
He said in a firm tone, disgust in his eyes, "Come here! Lady Jing is a concubine of the harem, how can you run around in this hunting ground?"
