“Jiajia, you just said you were disfigured, but your face is perfectly fine now. But even if you’re wronging me, I won’t blame you. I know you didn’t mean it.” Mu Yazhi sobbed a few times.
"you……"
Xue Jiajia couldn't help but want to curse, but Mu Chenshuang interrupted her, "Miss Xue's face has naturally been healed."
"Sister, what are you saying? Even if the medicine has extraordinary effects, it's impossible for it to leave no trace. Even the people of the Divine Doctor Sect probably don't have such ability. Sister, you've fabricated such a ridiculous lie just to slander me."
"You don't know, which only shows your shallowness. Besides..." His voice turned cold, and he lowered his eyes, his sharp, icy gaze falling on Mu Yazhi, making her heart tremble.
"I don't need such low methods to teach you a lesson. I will beat you so badly that you won't even recognize your own parents."
The sinister voice left no room for argument; as he spoke, he raised his hand and flexed his fingers.
This scene was so overwhelming that Mu Yazhi could hardly breathe.
"You really won't admit it? No problem. I've already sent someone to invite Cousin Ji over. Cousin Ji will definitely be able to see the problem with this pill. When that happens, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
Xue Jiajia said fiercely.
Xue Jiajia's words made Mu Yazhi's face turn pale. It was the Carefree Prince again. The Carefree Prince was not interested in women, and he was even indifferent to the royal princess and his own sister. But he was different with Xue Jiajia. What was so good about this Xue Jiajia? She was just a brainless, muscle-bound stupid woman.
Mu Yazhi suppressed her panicked emotions, putting on a look of heartbroken betrayal, "Jiajia, even if the Prince of Xiaoyao comes, I still have a clear conscience towards you."
Almost everyone was impressed by Mu Yazhi's acting skills, unconditionally believed her, and condemned Xue Jiajia.
"Xue Jiajia, don't go too far. Don't forget who protected you and spoke up for you when you beat up the Chen family's daughter."
"Exactly. With her arrogant and domineering manner, who would want to talk to her except for Yazhi? She really thinks the Prime Minister's residence is still the Prime Minister's residence of the past."
A few years ago, during the struggle for the Eastern Palace, the former Crown Prince was deposed, and the Prime Minister's Mansion's status plummeted. Now, it is merely a name without substance, relying entirely on Princess Jinhua's identity to support its precarious position.
Therefore, the young ladies of official families present were not afraid of Xue Jiajia at all.
"She thought Mu Chenshuang was helping her, but she was just taking advantage of her naivety and using her to frame others. She was being used without even realizing it."
"Your Highness, look how your wonderful flower-viewing banquet has been ruined by people with ulterior motives. The young master was beaten in the Prince of Cheng's mansion for no reason. If this gets out, people will really think that the Prince of Cheng's mansion is easy to bully."
Several daughters of officials chatted incessantly, one after another.
Hearing these comments, all of which were in defense of her, Mu Yazhi's eyes flashed with smugness.
She thought to herself with a vengeance: Xue Jiajia, this is the price you pay for betraying me. No one but me will side with you. You really are a fool to dare to confront me while following Mu Chenshuang.
She cautiously raised her eyes to glance at Mu Chenshuang. Unlike Xue Jiajia, whose face was almost contorted with rage, Mu Chenshuang was remarkably calm and composed, with a cool and collected expression, as if everything was under her control.
A moment of fear gripped her, but she quickly calmed down. No one would believe Mu Chenshuang's words now; Mu Chenshuang was merely feigning composure.
At this moment.
A cold gaze shot straight at her, and Mu Yazhi's heart trembled. She quickly lowered her eyes, and a tear squeezed out from the corner of her eye.
“Princess Consort, it was not our intention to disturb your flower-viewing banquet. After all, I had just stepped into the palace when I heard people gossiping behind my back. I am not the kind of person who would swallow my anger, so I think you know in your heart who is spreading rumors.”
As for the feud between Miss Xue and Mu Yazhi, it involves the laws of Tianzhao Kingdom—the plot to murder the Prime Minister's daughter. This matter awaits the judgment of Prince Xiaoyao, so that it can be settled in front of everyone.
Mu Chenshuang's words were clear and powerful, and this kind of aura belonging to a person in a high position made everyone tremble with fear.
It seems that as soon as she opens her mouth, all the noise stops abruptly, forcing people to listen attentively to what she has to say.
Looking at Mu Chenshuang, Mu Yazhi clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling slightly, whether from sobbing or anger.
Princess Consort remained silent, her face extremely pale, even though reason told her that Mu Chenshuang was the one worth trusting.
But some of the comments she made earlier still affected her.
Yun Qi had specifically instructed her before going to court to treat Mu Chenshuang well when she arrived, but now…
Just as she opened her mouth.
All that could be heard was the respectful voice of a guard, "Your Highness."
