After seeing the man not far away, Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Why does the eldest prince appear in this place?
Ye Qing always had a dark face, especially after seeing the finger marks on Ye Ning's face, his face became even colder, with a stormy look in his eyes.
Ye Ning probably didn't expect Ye Qing to show up. She was stunned for a moment, then hid behind Shen Jinzhi, holding the corner of his clothes tightly.
The delicate little face was filled with nervousness.
"The eldest prince..."
Shen Ci bit her lip and bent down to salute.
Even though the eldest prince is not favored, he is still a prince after all.
When she saw it, she should not lose the proper etiquette.
"Did you inflict the injuries on her face?"
Ye Qing glanced at Shen Ci with cold eyes and asked expressionlessly.
Shen Ci was stunned. Her eyes turned from Ye Qing to Ye Ning. Her delicate face turned pale. Maybe she didn't understand why the eldest prince knew this little girl?
"This prince wants to ask you a question!"
Seeing that Shen Ci did not answer him, but kept looking at Ye Ning with a pair of malicious eyes, his face became darker and there was anger in his brows.
A pair of blood-red eyes, like a furious lion.
"I……"
Shen Ci panicked and stepped back, but suddenly stepped on the melon rind behind him and fell to the ground.
It hurt so much that she shed tears.
But more than the pain, I was still flustered.
She didn't understand why the eldest prince wanted to protect this girl?
Could it be that he has fallen in love with her?
Also, at such a young age, this little girl looks like a vixen. When she grows up, she will definitely be a monster that brings disaster to the country and the people.
The eldest prince has always been lustful, so it is normal for him to fall in love with her!
"Your Highness, the eldest prince," she stood up and raised her chin with a sarcastic smile on her lips, "I am Prime Minister Shen's niece. If you punish me for a wild girl, my uncle will not let it go. "
If it were any prince, she might not dare to say this.
However, the eldest prince has been out of favor for a long time, and the emperor doesn't like her, so what does she have to fear?
Ye Qing clenched his fists tightly, and his eyebrows were filled with blue veins.
He is so depressed that even a minister's niece dares to step on his head?
good very good!
"Then I would like to go to the palace and ask my father and the emperor's grandmother what the crime is if someone dares to attack the royal family's bloodline!"
He sneered and said in a cold voice.
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, making Shen Ci's body tremble and her eyes suddenly widen.
Royal blood?
This girl...
Suddenly, Shen Ci trembled all over.
She remembered that she seemed to have heard the maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion say before that the eldest prince had brought back a bastard from outside.
But because her heart was focused on Feng Lichen, she didn't pay much attention to the news and forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
Now it means that this bastard... is his illegitimate daughter outside?
Shen Ci bit her lip, her eyes filled with panic.
If this girl was only interested in the eldest prince, maybe it would be okay for her to say it.
After all, she is just a little girl with a shady background.
If it were the eldest prince’s biological daughter——
His Majesty will definitely be furious, and even Shen Ran will not be able to protect her!
It was only now that Shen Ci became panicked and stepped back. Her beautiful face was pale and colorless...
"I……"
She held it in for a long time before she uttered one word: "I didn't mean it, it was the little boy, yes, he provoked me first! I wanted to hit him, but this girl rushed up to block the slap, and I I hit the wrong person..."
