Chapter 86: Don't be afraid
Shen Muzhou pulled Lin Yanxi behind him, and as soon as the noble girl kneeling on the ground finished speaking, Shen Muzhou stepped on her fingers.
His voice was full of murderous aura: "This princess, you dare to frame it."
The queen glanced at him, princess? Could it be that in his heart, he still wants Lin Yanxi to be the concubine?
The noble girl was so painful that she couldn't speak, and she trembled and begged for mercy, "The ninth prince spares his life, what the courtiers said is true, prince, spare your life."
Shen Muzhou's gaze kept falling on the calm lake in the distance, as if he hadn't heard the woman's wail, and there was no expression on his face at all.
Until the queen couldn't stand it, she shouted with a calm face: "Nine Princes."
Shen Muzhou's gaze retracted, he glanced at the woman lying on his stomach at his feet and asked, "Which house are you from?"
The noble lady said, "Courtier, the courtier is the daughter of the six servants, Wang Jingjing."
Shen Muzhou withdrew his legs, fell to the ground, and said casually, "Liubu Squire, hehe."
"The daughter of the little Liubu squire, being able to enter the palace is already the queen's favorite, and you dare to slander the king, don't you want to live? Or do you want to kill the entire Six Squire Mansion?"
Wang Jingjing shrank down, she knew that her father's official position was not high, and she wanted to take advantage of this to step on Lin Yanxi, so as to cling to the power of the third princess, but she didn't expect to cause trouble for herself.
With tears in her eyes, she said urgently, "I didn't just see it, they saw it too!"
After speaking, she pointed to the other two noble daughters of the family who came with Shen Huayun to trouble Lin Yanxi.
Shen Muzhou looked over coldly and asked, "You also saw it?"
The two noble ladies hurriedly shook their heads and said, "No, I didn't see it."
The former close friend of the boudoir did not dare to stand up and speak out because he was afraid of the Nine Princes.
Wang Jingjing glared at them angrily and stopped talking.
The atmosphere was momentarily awkward, and the little eunuch broke the tense atmosphere with a single message.
"The county lord of Chaoyang has arrived."
Luo Jingxin walked in front, Luo Wanwan followed behind her, she entered the imperial garden for the first time, and after walking a few steps, she saw a dark man protecting a petite girl behind her, a woman kneeling in front of him, and another woman in a more gorgeous dress curled up miserably on the ground.
After she got closer and saw clearly, she smiled and said, "Lin Yanxi, you are here."
Lin Yanxi was also surprised to see her, and then looked at Luo Jingxin and understood, they were all surnamed Luo, and they also said that they came to find their sister when they entered the capital.
She rejoiced, "Evening." qs
Luo Jingxin knew the woman in front of him, and asked directly, "Jingjing, what's wrong?"
Wang Jingjing bit the bullet as if she saw a life-saving straw and said, "I, I told the fact that Miss Lin Er had an affair with Proton, and I was threatened by the prince."
Luo Jingxin turned his head to look at Lin Yanxi, who was hiding behind Shen Muzhou, then looked at the third princess and asked, "What's wrong with the third princess."
The third princess fell to the ground, almost fainted in pain, her broken shoulder fell to the ground, and her other hand was raised with difficulty, pointing at Lin Yanxi, her eyes glared at Lin Yanxi resentfully, and when she saw the proton who was always standing aside and looking at her coldly, she subconsciously buried her face, not wanting him to see her embarrassed scene.
Wang Jingjing had no way out, and said like crazy, "She, it was she who beat the third princess in the imperial garden."
Luo Jingxin and the queen's eyes fell on Lin Yanxi, Lin Yanxi dodged behind Shen Muzhou, and said in a soft and innocent voice, "It's terrifying."
Shen Muzhou took another step forward, isolating everyone's gaze, and Luo Jingxin lowered his eyes.
The queen opened her mouth and said, "Lord, it's better to find out, the third princess is also a member of my royal family, and she should be given an explanation if she is so humiliated." Jingxin, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate."
Shen Muzhou turned to look at Lin Yanxi and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He has always been cold and indifferent to everyone, but now that Luo Jingxin saw the temperature in his eyes for the first time, she knew that Shen Muzhou really cared about Lin Yanxi.
Luo Jingxin has a business-like attitude
asked, "Wang Jingjing, you said that she had an affair, but there is evidence."
Wang Jingjing knelt on the ground and replied truthfully: "It was the maidservant next to the third princess who said that she saw the prince of Dongyang waiting for Lin Yanxi on the path, and then the two said a few words, and the prince of Dongyang gave her a handkerchief."
Luo Jingxin snorted coldly, "Body search."
The palace maid hesitated and asked, "Do you want to take Miss Lin to the side hall to search?"
Luo Jingxin glared at her impatiently and repeated, "Search your body in public to show your innocence."
Public body search? A woman who has not left the cabinet was stripped of her clothes and searched in public in the imperial garden, which is to show her innocence, and she clearly wants to destroy her.
Everyone was shocked in place, but when they thought that a woman with a noble birth and the protection of the prince would be humiliated like this, there was a faint expectation in their eyes.
Only Luo Wanwan whispered behind Luo Jingxin, "Sister, this ......"
Before she finished her words, Luo Jingxin slapped her eyes past, and she completely shut up.
Lin Yanxi knew in her heart that she was now a thorn in Luo Jingxin's eyes, and the queen was giving her a chance to humiliate herself.
But she knows better how to make Luo Jing's heart hurt more.
She grabbed Shen Muzhou's arm tightly, like a frightened rabbit, harmlessly burrowed into his arms, and said softly and weakly, "Brother Azhou, they bullied me."
A pair of clear eyes are pure and harmless, and they are completely two people from the violence of the third princess just now.
Sure enough, when she hugged Shen Muzhou, Luo Jingxin's eyes could no longer suppress the anger, and glanced at her viciously, her hands trembling with anger.
Shen Muzhou's heart tightened, he knew that Lin Yanxi usually called himself by name and surname, and when he asked for himself, he would also call the Nine Princes, when did he call him so affectionately.
She was deliberately using herself to take revenge on Luo Jingxin and the queen.
Lin Yanxi's careful thinking, he can see it clearly, but he is still distressed, when she calls herself "Brother Azhou", he wraps the person in his arms with a big coat and looks at her lovingly.
When he looked at Luo Jingxin, the temperature in his eyes dissipated, and he said coldly, "The county lord of Chaoyang is really vicious."
Luo Jingxin looked at him aggrievedly, his feet were unstable for a while, he took half a step back, and almost stumbled and fell.
Malevolent? She's vicious?
The coldness in his eyes stung her heart, and soon she understood that this was a trick for this ***.
He explained with a relieved expression: "No, Mu Zhou, I just scared her and wanted her to tell the truth, how could I let a woman who has not left the cabinet be searched in public? Besides, she's still the daughter of Taifu."
Lin Yanxi's eyes showed a hint of cunning, Luo Jing was flustered, and he was also disgusted by the people he cared about, can he not panic?
She looked at Luo Jingxin defiantly, revealing a sneer, and that smug look made Luo Jingxin's last trace of reason collapse.
She pointed at Lin Yanxi and hurriedly said, "She's laughing, Mu Zhou, you see that she did it on purpose, she wants to separate your feelings from me."
The queen opened her mouth and said, "Xin'er."
Luo Jingxin immediately calmed down and looked at the people around her who cast a kind of pity and mockery at her.
Shen Muzhou didn't bother to pay attention to her, just glanced at her with detached eyes, and there was still some disgust in his eyes.
When the beloved looked at Luo Jingxin with such eyes, a thousand words were choked in his throat, this kind of look was more uncomfortable than killing her, and all of this was caused by Lin Yanxi!
Looking at her pretentious appearance in his arms, Luo Jingxin couldn't wait to eat her alive, and he couldn't understand the hatred in his heart.
She endured and endured it, and only then did she barely show a smile that looked decent, and said, "I lost my temper, I didn't think about this matter, so please ask the prince to present the handkerchief and wash away the grievances for my sister."
He lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms, and his voice was extremely gentle, for fear of scaring her, "Obedient, give me a handkerchief."
The little girl was very well-behaved, she nodded heavily, and took out the handkerchief from her bosom.
The handkerchief was opened in his hand and looked at it, and the word "Xi" was clearly embroidered on the lower corner.
Luo Qizhen is also suitable
"This is Miss Lin's handkerchief, on the day of the hairpin, she dropped the handkerchief on the ground, I picked it up inadvertently, and saw the embroidered words on it, so people inquired, the noble girl who entered the palace that day only had the word "Xi" in Miss Lin's name, so I deliberately waited here and wanted to return to the original owner. That's all."
After speaking, he saluted and said, "I've caused trouble for Miss Lin Er."
Shen Muzhou stretched out his hand to hold his arm, "I can't help it, it's just a misunderstanding."
The third princess knows Luo Qizhen's temperament the most, and she refuses to look at her more than once on weekdays, but now she is so kind and waiting to return a handkerchief? Their friendship definitely doesn't stop there!
"Then is it over if she beats me? I am Princess Nanmin, she beat me, she just didn't take the royal family in her eyes, Sister Jingxin, the queen's mother, make the decision for me." She fell to the ground and wept bitterly.
Luo Jingxin hurriedly echoed: "Yes, even if it is a misunderstanding, there is no reason to beat the third princess like this, she has no human appearance, and it looks strange and pitiful. If the prince insists on covering up, this ...... Alas."
She pretended to be distressed and looked at everyone in embarrassment.
The queen said leisurely: "Xiao Jiu, you don't have to be embarrassed, she has always loved and respected you, so when she sees that you don't like it, she doesn't dare to say anything even if she is wronged."
"But this happened in the palace, and at the flower banquet in the palace, daring to beat the princess at will is a capital crime! Even if Taifu comes, he won't be able to protect her."
The little girl in Shen Muzhou's arms whispered, "It's not random. It's going to hit her."
As soon as these words came out, the queen became even more angry, and raised her voice and said, "Presumptuous! How daring! With Xiao Jiu here, you're lawless, aren't you?"
The little girl shrank in fright, shook her little head aggrievedly, and said in a voice dyed with some crying, "No."
He frowned and said, "Queen Mother, what can you say slowly, you scared her."
The queen's face suddenly froze, scared her? She hurt so many people, and now she is very good at pretending to be innocent, no wonder Xiao Jiu makes her confused about right and wrong.
After all, he should have killed him earlier, let him go underground to accompany that short-lived ghost, why wait until now to become a problem.
Shen Muzhou asked, "Yan Xi, don't worry, with me, no one dares to embarrass you."
