The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 267: Upset

Xie Qiao’s calm attitude made Xia Yayun’s eagerness shine brighter. Just by looking at her, one could feel that she was up to no good.

Xia Yayun was also panicking.

The Emperor and the Empress doted on the Crown Prince the most. Today, they specially selected the Princess Consort, which was why they invited so many talented women over. If someone here had already been privately engaged but still came for the selection, the Emperor and Empress would definitely be angry and she would have to be severely punished!

Even if she was not severely punished, Xie Qiao’s reputation would definitely be ruined!

Therefore, when she heard that Xie Qiao was coming, she had already prepared this true lover’s knot.

Who knew…

Xia Yayun knelt and looked a little flustered, “I… I was wronged. It was Sister Xie who wronged me…”

Xie Qiao lowered her eyebrows and looked like she was in no mood to argue.

However, anyone with eyes could tell that there was something wrong with Xia Yayun’s attitude.

Since she kept calling her Sister Xie, it meant that they were on good terms. However, if they were on good terms, why would she shout out loud when she saw the true lover’s knot?

If the thing really belonged to Xie Qiao and was discovered by her, then it was understandable for her to shout out loud. However, look at Xie Qiao’s body…

There was really no place for her to wear that.

“It’s just a true lover’s knot. Young Lady Xia, keep it. Next time, just don’t throw it away. Although you’re shocked, there’s no need to accuse others,” The Empress’ voice was lazy, and there was no doubt in her tone.

Xia Yayun wanted to say something more, but when she raised her head, she realized the meaning behind the Empress’ words.

Unless she had strong evidence that the thing belonged to Xie Qiao, she would have to bear the responsibility herself.

If she were to bear the responsibility, the Empress would not pursue the matter further.

However, she would not be able to get rid of the crime of already having a lover. Moreover, she had wronged Xie Qiao. It would be horrible if word got out.

However, if she were to continue saying that this thing belonged to Xie Qiao, the Empress would probably be angry as well.

Xia Yayun was very regretful. Why did she not take a closer look at Xie Qiao’s clothes?!

She only saw that she was wearing a bright red cloak on the outside that was really beautiful. She actually did not care about what was inside!

It was also Xie Qiao’s fault that she was too thin. That cloak was wrapped tightly around her, so how could she see what was hanging on her waist?!

Moreover, Xie Qiao’s attire was really strange. The safety buckle was fastened one after the other. It was extremely strange!

Xia Yayun bit her lips and lowered her head, “This humble one apologizes for her mistake…”

The Empress only nodded slightly and let her and Xie Qiao leave together.

Xia Yayun sat in her seat, feeling angry and stifled.

She felt that she had rushed out like a fool and wasted her efforts. Not only did she not manage to mess with Xie Qiao, she had also gotten herself into trouble!

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.

At that moment, she did not dare to attract any attention. However, when everyone’s attention turned to poetry, calligraphy, and painting, she took the thing in her hands and vented her anger.

She broke a plate directly.

She glared at the palace maid behind her, “What are you waiting for? Quickly take this away!”

The palace maid was very innocent. She had just changed some plates, but in the blink of an eye, one was broken again.

She could only lower her head and do her job.

“She bullied the little palace maid again!” Beside Xie Qiao’s ear, a ghoul grimaced, and one of her eyeballs fell out of anger, “She wronged others, so why should she vent her anger on us palace maids?”

“When I was still alive, the Master I met was just like her. I just used too much strength to comb the Master’s hair, and she slapped my lips! I was only a teenager at that time. My face was swollen, and I had to be laughed at by other palace maids…”

As the ghouls talked, they moved to Xia Yayun’s side.

Some stretched out their bright red nails and scratched Xia Yayun’s face, while others tried their best to strangle her.
