Ling Chi's ten blows were all it took, which was what Ximen Hao said was the forgiveness he got after he confessed obediently. Chen Fu, speechless, closed his eyes in despair and collapsed to the ground.
Everything was over. If he had known this, he should have stopped the queen. He should not have designed Su Ranhua so obviously. The queen was too eager to win, and he also wanted to deal with that hateful woman as soon as possible, which resulted in this situation.
result.
Chen Fu wanted to cry but had no tears. He should know that going against King Bei would not bring good results. Even if the Queen was standing behind him, he would not be able to withstand it. King Bei had no family affection in his eyes, only his own decision. The Queen could not control her.
This son's.
Chen Fu was dragged out of Chu Min Palace, while Bai Zhanfeng's body was still trembling slightly. Bai Yiyi, who was standing next to her, looked cautious, with her head lowered, but her eyelids were quietly raised.
Turning towards Bai Zhanfeng with disdain.
Is this the way to deal with Su Ranhua? If she had known that the Queen would join hands with Chen Fu to secretly exchange peonies for Buddha statues, she would have stopped it in advance. After Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao checked the contents of the box together,
If she continues to do this, she is simply pushing herself into the grave and tearing her relationship with Ximen Hao apart. I really don’t know how she, the queen, has been able to stay safe for so many years.
Chen Fu was dragged away, and there were Su Luocheng and Su Ranqing kneeling in the hall. Due to Chen Fu's confession, he had found someone to make the peonies, so Su Ranqing had lied.
Su Ranqing's body couldn't help but tremble when she came into contact with Ximen Xianchu's burning eyes.
Suddenly, Ximen Yi left his seat, walked quickly to Su Ranqing, picked her up with one hand, and slapped her hard on the face with the other.
Su Ranqing was caught off guard and stumbled to the side, and blood immediately flowed from the corners of her lips.
Everyone looked at the unexpected move of King Nan in shock. Just now King North was protecting Princess North, but at this time King South was teaching Princess Nan a lesson in public. The drama at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet today was going on one after another.
.
With nothing to worry about, Ximen Hao gently held Su Ranhua's hand and pulled her aside to avoid Ximen Yi's violent anger towards Su Ranqing.
With her hand held in a wide, rough calloused palm, Su Ranhua had never felt more at ease. From the beginning to the end, she rarely spoke. It was Ximen Hao who stood up and made the decision for her, hiding her behind him and watching.
The broad back in front of her was like a strong barrier, protecting her from wind and rain.
Su Ranhua raised her eyelids and smiled at Ximen Hao. This smile was full of affection, and the smile entered Ximen Hao's heart, making his heart skip a beat.
It feels good to have someone protecting you.
Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao held hands and stood side by side. At that moment, she felt that she could be an ordinary woman, being cared for like a bird, enjoying the sweetness, and everything was perfect.
Don't let her take action again.
She is not a woman who is willing to rely on men, but it is indeed very happy to be favored by her beloved at the right time and hide in his arms. Such happiness is not dependence, but spiritual sustenance and reliance.
"Prince?" Su Ranqing covered her face that was red and swollen from being beaten, and looked at Ximen Yi in front of her with horror and aggrievement. He turned from scolding himself to taking action.
"Chen Fu framed Princess Bei, why are you joining in the fun?" Ximen Yi asked coldly. There was no tenderness in his charming eyes, as if he was like the beautiful Yama from hell.
"I, I..." Su Ranqing trembled and glanced at Su Luocheng, who was kneeling on one side, and said, "I have really seen root-carved peonies in the courtyard."
She couldn't deny this at this time. Anyway, Su Luocheng had already admitted it before. Su Ranqing thought that Su Luocheng would definitely help her. Her father was so capable that he would never ignore her safety.
"Back then, the emperor ordered the whole city to destroy all peony-related carvings. Wei Chen did send one of them to Yang Ruoqing, but Wei Chen never saw it after that. It was difficult to disobey the emperor's order. Wei Chen thought that Yang Ruoqing must have already destroyed it.
The peony is ruined." Su Luocheng said to the superior Ximen Xianchu, "Maybe Princess Nan was deeply impressed when she was young, so she suddenly said it."
"Yes, yes, I remember it very clearly." Su Ranqing nodded to Ximen Yi repeatedly to prove that she was not lying, "This peony is very similar to the one from back then. I made a mistake."
"I'm not sure yet. Why are you causing trouble by standing up? She's your sister. What do you mean by being so eager to add insult to injury?" Ximen Yi walked up to Su Ranqing and picked her up. He was already getting more and more worried.
This vulgar woman is not pleasing to the eyes. Today is an opportunity for him to take action clearly, dragging Suluo City into trouble and embarrassing the Nanwang Palace. It is expected that Suluo City will not dare to say anything.
"Your Highness...ahem..." Su Ranqing was grabbed by Ximen Yi's collar, suffocating her neck, and her delicate makeup was distorted and changed color.
"Yi'er, stop!"
Concubine Shu stood up and scolded, "The play in Jinhua Garden has not ended yet, and the play in Yunxiao Garden has begun again. Are the emperor, the queen, the prince and the princess all actors? Ximen Yi does not have any respect for himself."
Ximen Yi threw Su Ranqing away and stumbled to the ground, his forehead turning blood red from the impact.
"Yes, she is my sister, but she caused my mother to be injured. I just want to deal with her! Avenge my mother!" Su Ranqing got up and shouted loudly regardless of her style. Her clothes were messy,
With a miserable face, the image of the most beautiful woman has been completely wiped out, and she screams like a street shrew.
Su Ranhua couldn't help but want to laugh. This Su Ranqing's brain was not too slow, and she actually thought of transferring her jealousy to the second lady. It seemed that when the danger was extreme, people's potential could be stimulated.
"What does your mother's injury have to do with the emperor's sister-in-law?" Ximen Yi shouted.
Su Ranqing turned to Ximen Xianchu, who was watching coldly, and knelt down in tears, "Father, if it weren't for Su Ranhua being frightened while riding, everyone would be guarding in front of my mother's coffin, and it would not be my mother's turn to detonate explosives to deal with it.
Wu Shan, now that my mother is seriously injured and her face is ruined, I really can’t swallow this feeling in my heart, so I deliberately targeted Su Ranhua. I am willing to be punished for what I have done!"
"She couldn't help the dyed painting horse being frightened. If we investigate carefully, should I be blamed for not controlling the horse well and protecting the dyeing painting?" Ximen Hao burst into tears after hearing Su Ranqing's words.
, said coldly.
"My sister-in-law doesn't dare." Su Ranqing lowered her head and said. At this point, Ximen Yi not only refused to help her, but also beat her. She could only blame the second lady's injuries and use her "filial piety" to plead with Ximen Xianchu.
It can be regarded as a desperate attempt with no other options.
