Fu Yurou was extremely nervous and quickly looked at the maid Caiwei beside her and signaled her with her eyes.
Caiwei was also scared to death. She didn't expect that the secret would be exposed and she was caught by King Mo. She was really finished now.
Jing Yan'er, however, looked very proud. As long as this person said that it was Fu Yurou who ordered it, Fu Yurou would be dead.
Cang Tingchen also noticed Fu Yurou's expression. She looked pale, her eyes flickered, and she didn't even dare to look at that man. It was obvious that she was guilty.
Could it really be Rouer's doing?
Just as the man was about to say it, he suddenly opened his mouth, eyes widened, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and died on the spot.
Cang Tingchen ran over and touched the man's neck: "He is indeed dead."
"How could this happen?" Jing Yan'er was annoyed: "Fu Yurou, you actually killed someone to silence him?"
Fu Yurou watched the man die and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But when she heard Jing Yaner's words, she suddenly became furious.
"Miss Jing, you have framed me again and again. What is your intention? If you have the guts, just produce the evidence. Your Majesty, you have to stand up for Rouer. Rouer is your concubine. Miss Jing is slandering Rouer like this. Doesn't she take you seriously?" Fu Yurou said aggrievedly.
Cang Tingchen's face also looked a little ugly. After all, this man was dead and there was no evidence.
"Fu Yurou, you are so vicious. You kill people to silence them and yet you pretend to be pitiful. How hypocritical!" Jing Yan'er snorted coldly.
"It's not me. I have never done such a thing. I have been with the prince tonight." Fu Yurou retorted.
Listening to their quarrel, Cang Tingchen's face showed a little more impatience: "Enough! Since there is no evidence, today's matter ends here!"
Seeing that King Mo was angry, Jing Yan'er didn't want to argue any further: "Since King Mo has spoken, I won't pursue it. But it's getting dark now, and it's really not safe for Yan'er to go back alone. Can you please ask King Mo to take me back?"
"Let's go." Cang Tingchen snorted.
"Thank you, King Mo." Jing Yan'er hugged the maid and walked back.
Fu Yurou watched Prince Mo send Jing Yan'er away, and she felt even more angry, but she didn't dare to say anything and could only follow him.
Jing Yaner returned to the yard and thanked King Mo. King Mo turned and left without even looking at Fu Yurou.
Fu Yurou saw that Prince Mo was unhappy, and her heart suddenly felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the prince discovered something?
That shouldn’t be the case. That person never said it was him.
Back in the house, Cang Tingchen looked at Fu Yurou coldly with eyes as sharp as a blade: "Who was it you ordered to do today?"
Fu Yurou's heart skipped a beat, but she tried to remain calm: "Your Highness, are you doubting Rouer? It's really not Rouer, Rouer doesn't know that person at all.
Rouer felt very sympathetic when Miss Jing got into trouble, but she did frame Rouer, and Rouer had no idea that she had gone to the pavilion.
If the prince doesn't believe me, Rou'er is willing to die to prove her innocence. Rou'er has no grudge against her, so why would you want to harm her?"
Seeing that King Mo's expression was still extremely cold, Fu Yurou hardened her heart and rushed towards the wall.
Cang Tingchen didn't expect Fu Yurou to really bang her head against the wall: "Rou'er!"
He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Fu Yurou's head hit the wall, and a big bump instantly appeared on her forehead, with blood oozing out. Cang Tingchen felt so distressed when he saw it.
Cang Tingchen grabbed her and said, "Why are you so stupid? If something happens to you, what should I do?"
Fu Yurou felt dizzy and said weakly with blood on her forehead: "Your Highness doesn't believe Rouer, but I am willing to die to prove my innocence. I really didn't frame Miss Jing, please believe me, Your Highness."
She would not tell King Mo that she deliberately controlled the strength when she was about to hit the wall, so it was only a superficial injury and no bones were hurt.
"Silly girl, I believe you. Don't do stupid things again." Cang Tingchen was so distressed. Looking at the bright red blood on Fu Yurou's fair little face, his heart tightened.
"Someone, go find a doctor immediately."
Caiwei outside the door didn't expect that the concubine would actually do it. Now the prince not only did not doubt the concubine, but felt sorry for her instead. This was really smart.
"yes."
After a while, the doctor arrived.
"Bandage Rouer immediately and don't let any scars be left." Cang Tingchen ordered.
"Yes." The doctor immediately helped Fu Yurou treat the wound and bandaged it. He also prescribed some wound medicine, hemostatic medicine, and scar removal medicine before leaving.
"Your Highness, please don't leave Rou'er, okay? Rou'er can't live without you." Fu Yurou said pitifully with her pale face.
How could Cang Tingchen refuse? "I won't leave. I will stay here with Rou'er."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Here, Jing Yan'er returned to the yard, watched King Mo leave, and angrily threw all the tea sets on the table to the ground.
"Damn Fu Yurou, she actually dared to plot against me. I will remember this grudge and I will never let her go!" Jing Yan'er said angrily.
If Ye Xingchen hadn't reminded him, he would have really been tricked.
In the past, he had been scheming in front of Ye Xingchen and slandering her, but he didn't expect that it was she who saved him at the critical moment.
When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely thank her.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen was walking back with Ajiu. She knew exactly what had happened in the back mountain because she and Ajiu had gone to see a play.
"Ms. Ye, the show just now was really exciting, but why did you let me suddenly attack and injure that man with a hidden weapon, making him fake his death?" Ajiu asked puzzledly.
"If Jing Yan'er were to overthrow Fu Yurou right away, there would be no more drama. Fu Yurou and Jing Yan'er have a feud today.
If Fu Yurou finds out that the man is not dead, what will she do? What will Jing Yaner do? A good play needs to be sung slowly to be interesting. "Ye Xingchen explained.
Ah Jiu was full of admiration: "Miss Ye is really amazing, this trick is really bad!"
Ye Xingchen glanced at him and said, "I'll take that as a compliment."
"Of course you do that. Your method is really clever." Ajiu replied.
Early the next morning, Jing Yaner heard another maid report: "Miss, Prince Mo stayed in Fu Yurou's yard last night and accompanied her all night. I heard that she hit her head and even invited a doctor."
Jing Yaner's face turned black with anger: "Fu Yurou is such a shameless person. She almost caused my innocence to be tarnished. She even used the self-torture trick to get Prince Mo's sympathy. How despicable."
"I think you can be good friends with Miss Ye. Although Miss Ye is arrogant and domineering, she always does things in the open and never plays tricks behind the scenes. In this respect, she is much better than Fu Yurou." The maid Xinwen said in a low voice.
"You're right. Ye Xingchen is much more upright than her. I will deal with Fu Yurou, this despicable woman, sooner or later." Jing Yan'er said and went out.
As for Ye Xingchen, she slept until almost noon before going out. As a result, when she opened the door, she saw Su Ruoan and Zhan Bai standing on the left and right of the door, with somewhat aggrieved expressions.
"Why do you two have such expressions? Did something happen to the Regent?" Ye Xingchen asked subconsciously.
