Shen Xingwan stood there without daring to move or look back, but just blinked in confusion.
The loss of the horse was too unexpected. Did you agree to hide your identity?
Fu Jingchao casually walked over and stepped on the peacock hairpin, "Why did I faintly hear what hairpin you were talking about?"
Min Xizhao couldn't help but frown, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He tried to control his anger and said, "The peacock hairpin given by the Queen Mother last year."
"Now at your feet." Shen Xingwan added subconsciously.
There was silence...
Fu Jingyan looked at her pretending to be cold, and then Shen Xingwan looked up at him and realized that Fu Jingchao was different today.
She is not as weak as when she is injured, nor is she as beautiful as when she is dressed as a woman.
Wearing a black brocade dress, the cuffs and hem are embroidered with lifelike patterns using fine gold threads used in the palace.
Eyes as cold as cold stars, slender and long single phoenix eyes, lips that look cool and kissable, the whole person exudes a cold and light aura, standing there with a sense of dignity.
Shen Xingwan, who has always been an eye-catcher all his life, could not take his eyes back after just one glance.
Under the gaze of everyone in the observation deck, Fu Jingchao calmly raised his feet. The luxurious and beautiful peacock hairpin had been broken into pieces.
"I accidentally stepped on it, I'm really sorry."
Min Xizhao looked up at Fu Jingchao unwillingly, "I don't blame His Highness, it's just that it's hard to explain to the Queen Mother when asked."
He looked at Shen Xingwan again, "I kindly showed the hairpin to Miss Shen. Why was she so careless that her hand slipped and fell?"
This means that no matter what, I want Shen Xingwan to take the blame and punish her.
"Did the Queen Mother give it to you?" Fu Jingchao said in a cool tone, "It's just a hairpin. I'll go talk to the Queen Mother and ask her to reward you with ten hairpins. Is this compensation enough?"
The more Fu Jingchao showed an indifferent attitude, the more he proved how favored he was in Shengjing, and he was worthy of being the emperor's favorite confidant entrusted with important responsibilities.
How could Min Xizhao dare to accept his words? If she really brought it to the attention of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would only think that she was dull and ignorant.
Not to mention stepping on the hairpin given to him by the Queen Mother, Fu Jingchao "accidentally" stepped on the hairpin of the Queen Mother herself. Considering how much the Queen Mother liked him, she might not blame him.
What Min Xizhao could say was that he could only smile and say, "Don't bother me. The Queen Mother is kind and I will not take a hairpin to heart."
"Miss Min has thought about it carefully. If she mentions this matter outside this pavilion, I will not admit it." Fu Jingchao said in a serious tone.
This is a warning to her not to make compensation now and not to make trouble about this matter later.
"It's just a hairpin. I can still afford to break it into pieces. Just treat it as a welcome to His Royal Highness."
Min Xizhao quickly changed his words and talked about the matter with a sweet smile. His beautiful eyes looked back and forth at Shen Xingwan and Fu Jingchao.
Do the two of them know each other? They shouldn't. Their identities are too different and there is no chance.
But how could Fu Jingchao come by such a coincidence? Just when she was about to punish Shen Xingwan, he just happened to resolve everything.
Is it really just a coincidence?
Fu Jingchao looked at her calmly and didn't even look at Shen Xingwan, as if she was a strange girl he didn't know.
"Miss Min, won't you invite me to sit down?" Fu Jingchao took the initiative.
"His Royal Highness, sit here."
"Why don't you serve some good tea to His Royal Highness?"
Min Xizhao greeted her warmly, and the girls in the pavilion did not dare to express their anger. It would have been difficult for Miss Min to deal with her, but here came the prince who was rumored to be extremely noble.
Shen Xingwan was still fighting there alone, Qi Zhiwei took the opportunity to wave to her, "Miss Shen, come over here and sit down."
Fu Jingchao was here, and Min Xizhao had no mood or energy to trouble her, and just pretended not to hear. Shen Xingwan held up the hem of her skirt and walked to sit next to Qi Zhiwei. Qi Zhiwei's worries were relieved.
"Why did His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appear here?" Min Xizhao said curiously, "I never heard that His Highness the Crown Prince came to Jiangnan."
Fu Jingchao took a sip of tea and looked at Min Xizhao with cold eyes, "Whatever Miss Min is here for, I am here for."
The expression on Min Xizhao's face froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he could only smile and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness, I don't quite understand."
Shen Xingwan looked down at his fingers. Power is really a good thing. In a short period of time, the domineering Miss Min seemed to have changed into a different person.
Fu Jingchao said calmly, "Speaking of which, on the day Zhou Meidai was assassinated, Miss Min was also at Shengshi Academy. I heard that the Min family's dead men were very famous."
After just two words, Min Xi broke out in sweat. She had to get the account book, but she didn't want to be targeted by Fu Jingchao.
Who knows why Fu Jingchao suddenly appeared in Jiangnan.
Min Xizhao explained calmly, "I went to Shengshi College to visit friends. As for the Min family's affairs, my daughter is not very clear about it, and she usually doesn't interfere in family affairs."
Fu Jingchao didn't know whether he believed it or not, but said softly, "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask."
Min Xizhao clenched the tea cup in his hand, took a deep breath and asked, "Why did His Highness the Crown Prince come to see me suddenly?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Xingwan meaningfully, "Or are you actually here for someone else?"
Shen Xingwan continued to remain silent. Since Fu Jingchao came over on his own, he should have his plans.
"Of course I have something to ask Miss Min for help." Fu Jingchao said with a serious face, "Zhou Meidai was attacked just now while she was changing clothes in the guest room, and she was seriously injured."
"I'm afraid I can't be of much help here."
"When Zhou Meidai was discovered, her mouth was being opened and something was forced into her mouth. The person who did this was really arrogant."
When Fu Jingchao said this, his momentum was overwhelming, his whole body was full of hostility, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed tense.
Min Xizhao lowered his eyes, showing an expression of pity, "Sister Zhou has suffered a lot, I hope she is safe and sound."
"The doctor said that the poison in her seemed to come from southern Fujian." Fu Jingchao looked at Min Xizhao oppressively, "The Min family should be very good at understanding this aspect."
Min Xizhao's expression changed uncontrollably, and he stood up immediately, and retorted angrily and righteously, "Your Highness, there is no excuse for arbitrarily committing crimes. There are certain things you should not say nonsense!"
Fu Jingchao's eyes darkened, "Don't get excited, Miss Min. I just want to lend it to your doctor. He should be better at this kind of poison."
During the time when Fu Jingchao arrived, Min Xizhao's heart had gone up and down several times. He suppressed his unhappiness and said, "It is an honor for the Min family to serve His Royal Highness."
Fu Jingchao stood up and said, "You guys should take your time and play, it was my highness who interrupted you."
It seemed that he really came here to borrow a doctor, and then left after saying that.
Min Xizhao's palms were covered with cold sweat and he just breathed a sigh of relief when Fu Jingchao suddenly turned around and said, "Miss Min was so excited just now."
