As soon as Yin Luzhu came in, Gu Tingfang grabbed the tea cup at hand and threw it heavily in front of her. The tea cup shattered, and the flying fragments scratched her cheek. In an instant, a streak appeared on her fair and delicate cheek.
There was a small opening, and glaring blood flowed out from inside.
Ji Yanshen's eyes tightened, and he tried to get up, but Yin Luzhu calmly held his shoulders.
Bai Zhixi was crying so hard that she didn't expect Gu Tingfang to have such a bad temper. She was slightly startled and then returned to normal.
There was silence in the huge Fengzao Palace.
Gu Tingfang stared at Yin Luzhu with a pair of evil black eyes. Seeing the wounds on her face oozing blood, he froze slightly.
The hands under his robe began to squeeze involuntarily.
"Yin Luzhu, this is the person in your house who dares to harass the imperial concubine!"
Lifting her eyes, Yin Luzhu looked at Gu Tingfang expressionlessly. She did not wipe the blood on her cheek, as if she had never noticed it.
"Your Majesty, Ji Yanchen is not that kind of person."
"You know him well?"
Gu Tingfang's sarcastic rhetorical question.
"Understood, he likes me, and he treats the imperial concubine like this..." Yin Luzhu glanced at Bai Zhixi on one side, and sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "He can't be hardened."
Ji Yanchen: "..."
The man knelt there, a slight blush appeared on the tips of his ears, and then became silent.
"Haha." Gu Tingfang suddenly laughed, but the voice was cold and there was a dark, cold light without warmth in her eyes.
An unknown fire suddenly rose in my heart. This fire came so suddenly that even I felt inexplicable, but I couldn't suppress it.
Gu Tingfang suddenly said: "Come here, Ji Yanchen broke into the harem without permission, trying to get his hands on the imperial concubine. Pull her down and give her a palace punishment."
"Your Majesty!"
Yin Luzhu roared, her voice was a bit loud, and she carried an aura that could not be resisted.
Gu Tingfang looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Yin Luzhu, do you want to resist the decree?"
"Your Majesty, it is clear that the noble concubine is the one who framed me. You are so reckless and want to punish the people around me. Could it be that the Chu Xiang Palace has made you dissatisfied and you want to get rid of it quickly?"
As soon as Yin Luzhu's words came out, not only Bai Zhixi, but also Ji Yanchen was stunned for a moment.
He raised his eyes to look at Yin Luzhu, and saw her standing there, looking directly at the king with neither humility nor arrogance, using the entire Chu Xiang Palace to protect herself...
There was an unspeakable sourness in my heart. This person really took himself to heart.
The last trace of smile on Gu Tingfang's face disappeared.
His whole body seemed to be shrouded in frost, and the cold penetrated into his bones. He slowly stood up and walked step by step to Yin Luzhu.
Before she could speak, he suddenly grabbed her neck with his big palm.
"You dare to threaten Gu?"
Yin Luzhu did not struggle, and a cold sneer appeared on his red lips, "I am just stating the facts. If your Majesty thinks this is a threat, then so be it!"
She bet that Gu Tingfang didn't dare to kill her, at least at this time, she was still useful.
"Yin Luzhu, when the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. There is no reason why he should be spared just because he is from your palace, Prince Xiang of Chu."
"What if I can prove his innocence?"
The hand holding Yin Luzhu's neck suddenly loosened. Yin Luzhu staggered back two steps, and then listened to Gu Tingfang's words.
"How do you prove it?"
Taking a deep breath, Yin Luzhu said: "During the banquet, a young eunuch came and said that on the order of the emperor, Xuan Ji Yan sank to Feng Zao Palace to nurse the imperial concubine's body."
