Ling Qingrui stiffened her whole body, waiting for the pain to come, who knew that she just felt a sinking on her head, it turned out that the hat with the extra cloak was directly rolled by Ye Zhanli's whip and covered Ling Qingrui's head.

Ling Qingrui was very surprised to look at Ye Zhanli not far from him, his face was so white that it made people feel pale, hidden in the shadows of the pavilion on the side, and his eyes under the thick eyebrows seemed to be angry, making it impossible to see his true thoughts at all.

His actions gave Ling Qingrui an illusion, as if Ye Zhanli didn't want Prince De to see her, but why was this? Perhaps, this is really just her delusion.

Thinking to herself, Ling Qingrui turned her eyes and saw that not far away, a man dressed in princely clothes strode over, a handsome face looked very young, under the flying Yanyue eyebrows, a pair of eyes were unusually deep, flowing with a vague smile, a long body of jade trees, and a kind of luxurious aura seemed to linger around his body.

This Prince Jing Chenyao is the youngest son of the emperor, and when the emperor is still a prince, he often takes Jing Chenyao to play, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he personally sealed Jing Chenyao, who was only six years old at the time, as the Prince of De, and then the emperor treated this Prince of Germany well, even a few princes could not compare.

And Prince De is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and is not arrogant because of the emperor's favor, he is easy-going and diligent and fair, whether it is an official in the court or an ordinary person, everyone knows that Prince De has both ability and political integrity as his title, and he is highly praised.

It is reported that Prince De has always doted on the niece of the Seventh Princess, and it is not surprising that Prince De came in person when he heard that something happened to the Seventh Princess.

"This king just went down to the court and heard that something happened to Xiao Qi, what about Xiao Qi? How is she? ”

In the face of the person kneeling on the ground, although Prince De was worried, he still let everyone be exempt first, and then asked how the seventh princess was, his voice was deep but not rude, and he still had a smile when he spoke, which made people very easy to have a good impression.

It's just that Ling Qingrui suddenly frowned slightly when she looked at this scene, and suddenly she remembered the fifth prince Jing Mofeng again, it was because the seventh princess's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Jing Mofeng that Ling Qingrui would rescue her.

At this time, Prince De's face was obviously smiling, which should be almost the same as Jing Mofeng's usual gentle smile, but for some reason Ling Qingrui had an inexplicable feeling, it seemed that Jing Mofeng's gentleness was integrated into his temperament and came from the heart, and Prince De's affinity seemed to be a little deliberate.

Looking at the commonplace reactions of everyone around her, it should be that Prince De has indeed always been easy-going, maybe she thinks too much, Ling Qingrui shook her head slightly.

When Ling Qingrui was secretly thinking to herself, Shen Chengyun hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, the seventh princess should be fine in the warm pavilion, but in Weichen's house, the seventh princess accidentally fell into the water, and also alarmed the prince, it is really the crime of Weichen, please punish the prince." ”

Hearing that the Seventh Princess was fine, Prince De was obviously relieved, waved his hand slightly, and said: "It's Xiao Qi who is greedy for playing nonsense, and ran out of the palace privately, it's no wonder Lord Shen, Lord Shen doesn't have to take it to heart, as long as she is fine." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the prince, please here."

Just when Shen Chengyun was about to invite Prince De into the warm pavilion, a voice suddenly said: "The seventh princess didn't accidentally fall into the water by playing, it was obviously Tang Mooning who knocked the seventh princess into the water." ”

Prince De's footsteps paused slightly, and the sweat on Shen Chengyun's forehead came down with a "swish", he didn't expect that someone would say this in front of Prince De, isn't this making trouble for their Shen family, and he turned around and reprimanded at the moment: "Who is talking nonsense, can you afford to disturb the prince?" ”

The person who said this was the person who was wearing a rose-red dress and pointing to a woman in Tsing Yi with a pale face, she saw Prince De looking at her, and quickly knelt on the ground and said: "The courtiers are not talking nonsense, several young ladies here have seen it with their own eyes, it was Tang Mooning who bumped into the seventh princess, and the seventh princess fell into the water." ”

Seeing that no one echoed her at all, she suddenly became anxious and shouted, "Miss Chen, Miss Lin, you were by the side of the Seventh Princess at the time, and you must have seen it, why don't you speak?" ”

The two young ladies of Chen Lin, who were named, glanced at each other helplessly, and also knelt on the ground and said: "The prince forgives the sin, the courtiers and others are indeed as Miss Zhang said, they were near the seventh princess at that time." ”

Actually, these two young ladies said this very subtlely, they only said that they were indeed near the seventh princess, but they did not say that they saw the seventh princess being knocked into the water by Tang Muning.

Prince De turned around and said, "Rise up first and tell the king what is going on." ”

Without waiting for those people to say anything, the pale woman in Tsing Yi before, that is, Tang Muning, who they had always identified, stepped forward and knelt in front of Prince De, and said: "It is true that the courtiers accidentally knocked the seventh princess into the water, please ask the prince to condemn the crime, just ask the prince to read the courtiers only because they did not stand firm because of dizziness for a while, so they will hurt the seventh princess, don't implicate the father of the courtiers, the courtiers are here to thank the prince for his great kindness." ”

Tang Muning's face was still pale, looking even more ugly than Ye Zhanli's face, but kneeling there, her back was straight, and her voice and eyebrows were a little heroic that women rarely had.

The young lady surnamed Zhang didn't know if she had a dislike for Tang Muning, but when she heard Tang Muning admit it, she still said unrelentingly: "The prince is not going to be deceived by Tang Muning, she has always danced with knives and guns, how can she ever be dizzy, why did she get dizzy when she walked to the seventh princess?" How can there be such a coincidence in the world, Tang Mu Ning is clearly deliberate! ”

Tang Mooning turned her head to look at Miss Zhang, and said in a calm tone: "Miss Zhang is not me, how do you know that I am not dizzy?" Besides, I have admitted that I accidentally knocked the princess into the water, why is Miss Zhang still so aggressive? ”

"I don't have ......"

As soon as Miss Zhang was in a hurry, her voice was sharp and high, and Ye Zhanli, who seemed to have no sense of existence, frowned slightly, and the long whip in her hand was thrown out with a "snap", and went straight to Miss Zhang's cheek, if it hits this time, I'm afraid that this Miss Zhang will be disfigured if she is not seriously injured!

"Be merciful to the departed son." Prince De seemed to have just seen Ye Zhanli at this time, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes, but he opened his mouth to intercede for that young lady.

Ye Zhanli's wrist shook slightly, and the long whip swept past Miss Zhang's cheek, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding", but it turned out to be the earrings worn by Miss Zhang, which fell to the ground.

Miss Zhang was so frightened that she almost fainted, trembling but unexplained looking at Ye Zhanli, she was about to scream when she opened her mouth, the guards around Ye Zhanli were quick to move, and she took a silk handkerchief out of nowhere, and stuffed it directly into Miss Zhang's mouth, that Miss Zhang seemed to be choked, "woo" twice, and fainted directly with a roll of her eyes.

The guard who was at night Zhanli pulled out the silk handkerchief with two fingers in disgust, and said: "I have already said it, my family is the most annoying to others to make noise, why don't you listen." ”

"Zuo Leyu." Prince De shouted.

The guard replied with a smile: "The little one is here, what does the prince command?" ”

It seemed that he was a little helpless about this guard named Zuo Leyu, Prince De shook his head slightly with a smile and said: "Don't mess around, the body of the departed son can't stand the cold, let's let the departed son go into the warm pavilion to rest first." ”

"The prince also knows that the prince has always disliked places like Nuan Pavilion."

Prince De's eyes fell on Ye Zhanli's body, nodded, and said: "It is difficult for the departed son to come out and walk around, fortunately, it is still warm today, and the clothes worn by the departed son are not thin, and it is okay to walk around at will, but there should be another cloak." ”

Saying that, the guards beside Prince De gave him a cloak, and Prince De took a few steps forward, but he didn't personally put the cloak on Ye Zhanli, but handed it to Zuo Leyu, and advised: "Don't suffer from the wind and cold." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zuo Leyu thanked Prince De and stood beside Ye Zhanli, but the cloak was still in his hand, and he didn't have the slightest intention of putting it on Ye Zhanli.

Such an act is almost contempt for Prince De, even Ling Qingrui couldn't help but glance at Zuo Leyu a few more times, but Prince De smiled and said: "The departed son is still so true temperament, he doesn't like to be touched by others, nor does he like to touch people or things next to him, it's just that." ”

Prince De's words made everyone immediately understand why Prince De just handed over the cloak in person, but did not put it on Ye Zhanli, all of this also made Ye Zhanli even more arrogant and rude, but everyone only dared to slander in their hearts but did not dare to say it, Ling Qingrui's gaze quietly swept over Ye Zhanli's body, but he saw that his face was expressionless, as if his thoughts had long been lost.

At this moment, Ling Qingrui smelled a very faint fishy smell again, she had smelled it before, but it was normal for the seventh princess to fall into the water and have a fishy smell, and she didn't think much about it, but at this time, this fishy smell came again, it seemed to be from the ......

Ling Qingrui's gaze fell on Tang Muning, who was kneeling on the ground.

Prince De sat in the gazebo on the side in a very casual but elegant robe, and asked with a smile in his voice: "Miss Tang, can you tell this king what happened just now?" ”

That Tang Mu Ning's face was a little paler because of the cold, but her words were unusually firm, and she said: "Back to the prince, the courtiers suddenly felt dizzy while walking, and they bumped into a person next to them when they couldn't stabilize their body, and they didn't want to knock her into the water, until someone shouted that the seventh princess fell into the water, and the courtiers knew that the person who fell into the water was the seventh princess." The courtier didn't want to quibble to get away with the crime, but just stated the whole thing, and asked the prince to punish only one of the courtiers, and the courtiers thanked the prince here. ”

Although her frightened body trembled slightly, Tang Muning still spoke clearly, bravely admitted her mistakes, and did not have a word of prevarication.

In front of everyone's eyes, no matter what the reason is, Tang Mooning's collision of the seventh princess into the water is indeed a fact, and there is no way to deny it, and not punishing it is naturally not enough to show the majesty of the royal family, Prince De groaned slightly.

At this time, a voice came: "If the seventh princess fell into the water not by accident, but someone deliberately calculated Miss Tang, can the prince fall lightly?" ”
