The main room was in a mess. When Shao Wanru followed Chu Liuchen into the room, the first thing she saw was a mess of tables and chairs.
Then she saw two people stopped by the guards.
Prince Yue, Chu Liuyue, was cold and dignified. He behaved properly in front of others, full of the dignity of the royal family’s disciples.
Prince Zhou, Chu Liuzhou, was noble and brave. His identity as the legitimate son of the Empress made him more honorable in front of people.
But were the two people who were in a fight really them?
Not to mention the bruises on their faces, their clothes were in tatters. They rolled on the ground and panted heavily. They no longer looked as dignified as before.
Shao Yanru laid in the arms of Shuqi and did not move at all. She did not look like a daughter of an aristocratic family at all. Shuqi held the fainted Shao Yanru in her arms and did not dare to move, for fear of annoying the two masters. At that time, she would lose her life.
Even her Miss could not handle the current situation, not to mention a little servant girl like her.
“Big brother, second brother?” Chu Liuchen stepped in and looked at them, signaling the guards to let them go.
Seeing Chu Liuchen coming with his people, they couldn’t fight no matter how impulsive they were.
Chu Liuyue stood up with the help of the half-crush chair and gritted his teeth hard. He didn’t know if he had pulled something painful, so he couldn’t help but sneer.
“If you want this woman, you don’t have to frame me with her.” After saying that, Chu Liuyue looked at Shao Yanru with disdain, straightened his crown, and was about to leave.
Chu Liuzhou was also lifted up by several people, and his eyes were cold. His feet happened to be around Shao Yanru’s foot. So he kicked her feet away mercilessly. “I think it was you who framed me with her. My mansion can’t afford such a person too!”
“Eldest brother, second brother, let’s go. The uncle Emperor and the Empress are waiting for you!” Chu Liuchen looked at this and then looked at the other one. His face was gentle and indifferent, as if he hadn’t seen the two people in a mess.
“Go!” Chu Liuyue said coldly. He waved his sleeves and walked out.
Chu Liuzhou was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly. He didn’t even look at Shao Yanru, who almost fainted on the ground. He sat in the wheelchair and got someone to push him away.
“Fifth Miss, please come with me!” Chu Liuchen said to Shao Wanru with a smile.
It seemed that he was going to investigate the matter clearly. Shao Wanru nodded and said, “Your Highness, please go first. I will help my eldest sister to the bed.”
“No, she will go with us!” Chu Liuchen glanced at Shao Yanru coldly and said, “Come on, help First Miss Shao into the soft sedan.”
“Yes!” Someone answered quickly and went to prepare.
The other two Misses also woke up at this time. When they heard that something had happened and that the Emperor and the Empress were going to interrogate them in person, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. Looking at them, Chu Liuchen asked someone to prepare more sedans.
Shao Wanru got on the soft sedan with the other two Misses. The four sedans followed Chu Liuchen’s sedan and went to the Phoenix Palace where the Empress lived.
When they arrived at the Phoenix Palace, Shao Wanru and the others waited outside, and Chu Liuchen went in to report on his work.
“Miss…” Yujie finally found an opportunity. Seeing that the guard carrying the sedan had left, she called her softly.
The curtain of the sedan was lifted slightly. Shao Wanru shook her head at Yujie. This was the Empress’s Phonenix Palace. It seemed that no one was watching them, but in fact, someone was watching them.
Yujie understood and lowered her head, standing respectfully beside the soft sedan. She should just behave as a loyal servant girl.
Shao Wanru leaned in the soft sedan quietly with her watery eyes slightly closed. In the current situation, Shao Yanru was pushed to the forefront of the storm. Even if Shao Yanru didn’t die, she had to suffer. Not only her, but also Duke Xing’s Mansion behind her, couldn’t get any benefits.
How would her second uncle, who seemed to be loyal but was actually shrewd, deal with this matter?
How would Shao Yanru save herself?
Shao Yanru was never a person who waited for death. Shao Wanru never believed that she would admit her crime so obediently.
The sedan stopped in front of the gate of Phoenix Palace.
When she heard the noise outside, someone must have been sent to reply. When the people of the Phoenix Palace sent someone over, Shao Wanru leaned against the sedan and quietly guessed Shao Yanru’s next move. She must have woken up now. Just now, Chu Liuzhou’s strong kick must have wakened her up immediately.
Shao Wanru had been paying attention to Shao Yanru, so she saw that Shao Yanru’s eyelids were slightly lifted at that time, but she still leaned motionlessly, as if she had not woken up.
The kick was quite heavy. Chu Liuzhou had been trained, and he couldn’t show mercy in such an angry situation.
If he kicked another Miss, she would definitely scream. Shao Yanru could really bear it.
Along the way, there was no sound in her sedan, as if she had fainted. But how could there be no movement at this moment? Shao Yanru must be trying to save herself at this time. How could she save herself in this situation?
If she didn’t use a crucial move, she would definitely die.
What would Shao Yanru do? How would she act with her temperament?
Looking at the tall Palace through the window of the soft sedan, a eunuch came down in a hurry. He should come to call them in to inquire about it.
The eunuch came to the few soft sedans and said to them, “Please get out of the sedan, Miss. The Empress wants to see you!”
Several servant girls went to the front of the sedan curtain together, lifted the curtain, and wanted to help their Misses out.
“Ah, Miss!” Shuqi suddenly took a step back, sat on the ground, and screamed.
Shao Wanru had already come out. When she saw Shuqi, she frowned and walked to Shao Yanru’s soft sedan with Yujie. It seemed that Shao Yanru had made a move. She didn’t know what this move was! In this case, it was impossible for Shao Yanru to be merciful to herself. The two princes had lost face for her. If she wanted to live, she had to be more miserable.
As expected, Shao Yanru looked miserable. She was lying in a pool of blood with a hairpin in her chest, which she had worn before on her hair.
“Quickly, go and report it to the Empress!” Shao Wanru said to the eunuch who was also shocked. Her eyes fell on a handkerchief in front of her. There were blood words on the handkerchief. The words written with blood were written by Shao Yanru. Along the way, Shao Yanru broke her fingers and wrote these blood words.
She used the letter to show her determination to die for the crime of making the two princes embarrassed for her. Of course, the two princes would not want to bear the charge of having an affair with her. Such a crime could even make the emperor think that they had colluded with Duke Xing. It was not a matter of woman!
Shao Wanru smiled silently. This was a good plan. Shao Wanru also originally thought of this.
At present, Duke Xing’s Mansion could not fall down. She was very happy to see Shao Yanru use this method to save herself. Shao Yanru’s body had been hurt. Even if she could be saved this time, her body was basically destroyed. She would have to stay with the medicine pot for the rest of her life.
The Empress sent an imperial physician to carry Shao Yanru to the side hall for first aid and asked Shao Wanru and the other two Misses to enter the palace to see her.
The palace servants would naturally hand over Shao Yanru’s blood letter.
After making bows and kowtows, Shao Wanru knelt in the hall and told her what she saw today. In fact, it had nothing to do with her.
When this thing happened, she was not there. She rested in the courtyard outside. After the accident, she was not found as soon as possible. When she accompanied Shao Yanru, the imperial physician was treating Shao Yanru. Then, in order to quickly find the imperial physician’s prescription, she stayed outside the imperial physician’s room.
Later, Prince Yue and Prince Zhou inexplicably fought in the room. But she did not know anything.
She didn’t even know when Prince Zhou came. She only knew Prince Chen coming over and asking her. Then she followed Prince Chen to the main room. What she saw was what everyone saw.
The other two Misses’ words were a little different. One said that they were standing on the top and talking. They didn’t know why they suddenly fell down and why the fence would suddenly break.
It was an accident that Prince Yue and First Miss Shao fell down. They didn’t know what happened later.
What Chu Liuyue said before was that the two Misses deliberately bumped into them. He accidentally pulled Shao Yanru’s sleeves and pulled her down together.
The Empress did not comment on these different words. She turned to Shao Wanru with anger in her eyes and glared at Shao Wanru fiercely, which made Shao Wanru puzzled.
But she knew that she had been angered by the Empress. She lowered her head and was extremely respectful.
“Your Majesty, Duke Xing’s Mansion is so ambitious that they dare to do such a thing!” The Empress said angrily to the Emperor who was sitting aside.
How could she not be angry? Her son had been beaten by Chu Liuyue and it was for Shao Yanru. Although she used to be satisfied with Shao Yanru, she was very angry at this time. So she didn’t like the other people of Duke Xing’s Mansion here.
The Emperor’s eyes turned from his sons who had taken a shower to the women kneeling on the ground. His expression was not good. Although his sons had taken a shower and changed their clothes, the bruises on their faces could not be removed for a while. Thinking that he thought high of them, he could not vent his anger for a while.
He took a deep breath and focused on the blood handkerchief on the table in front of him.
“Tell me, what’s wrong with you? Does it have anything to do with the First Miss Shao?” The Emperor asked coldly.
“Father, I have nothing to do with First Miss Shao. Even if something like this happened today, First Miss Shao was implicated by me, so I comforted First Miss Shao. I didn’t expect Second Brother to hit me when he came in. He also said that I colluded with First Miss Shao. If it weren’t for what happened today, I wouldn’t be very familiar with First Miss Shao!”
Chu Liuyue looked at the Emperor seriously and replied with respect.
The charge that he had already colluded with Shao Yanru could not be afforded by him. It would only make the Empress unhappy and arouse the suspicion of his father.
“Prince Zhou, tell me, what’s going on? Why did you hit your big brother? In your heart, how can a woman compare with your brother?” The Emperor’s cold eyes fell on Chu Liuzhou.
Chu Liuzhou was about to die of anger at this time. Both of them pretended to be innocent. It was clear that he was the one who was wronged and the one who was plotted against.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He remembered what his mother asked the eunuch to tell him when he was changing clothes. He knew that he could not act on impulse at this time and he could not bear the blame.
“Father, I have my reasons for having done this!”
