Chapter Sixteen She Stands Up
When asked by Concubine Wan, Li Youyou hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Replying to your Majesty, as soon as Princess You came in, Siyu and Sitian didn't recognize her, and they said something that made Princess You angry. Youyou immediately intervened, and even said something to Princess You.
I drank to apologize, thinking that the matter was over, but I didn't expect that as soon as I left,..."
Wanbi's beautiful eyes widened, "Well, you Yun Ruyue, Sitian Siyu are still young, but you just said a few wrong words, and you actually want to kill them? What a cruel heart! Come here! Get it for me.
Get rid of this murderer!"
Li Youyou knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
It's almost effortless to please the Crown Princess.
"How can you call someone a murderer when he's not dead?" Yun Ruyue stood there with her hands behind her back, arranging her hair that was blown by the wind. "Besides, it wasn't me who started the trouble, and it wasn't Ye who made the first move.
I, your Majesty, are you trying to use your status and authority to force me to plead guilty and be punished?"
Here are all the daughters of the nobles in the court, and there are also relatives from the harem.
If Concubine Wan really abused her power to punish people to death, she would surely be exposed and spread to the ears of the emperor, and she would not be able to protect herself.
"Hmph, we, Daxia, are a country ruled by law. Naturally, I will speak according to the facts and be impartial. But with so many pairs of eyes, I and the old lady of the Hou Mansion saw you commit the crime, and there is also Li Youyou's testimony. What else do you have?
So quibly?"
Yun Ruyue twisted a few strands of hair in her hand, "I did take action. I don't deny this, but I just said that I was not the one who provoked him first, nor was I the one who made the first move.
At the beginning of the verbal dispute, I also said that those who don’t know are not guilty, but later, Sister Gu Sixian bluntly said in front of me that King You is disabled, and the dirty words were unbearable!
How could I endure insulting my husband? So I stepped forward to argue, but Gu Sixian couldn't argue with her, so she took action. I was just protecting myself..."
Wu Lin, who was once furious and about to go crazy in his sleeves, gradually calmed down after hearing Yun Ruyue's words.
The master's bragging skills are still as good as before.
In a fit of rage, he becomes...Lan Yan?
It takes the simple fight between women to a new level!
Hearing this, Concubine Wan lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Sitian in her arms.
If this incident was provoked because of insulting King You, then the matter would be serious.
King You is in danger now, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him. If something like this happens again, it will simply add fuel to the fire.
A trace of panic flashed in Gu Sitian's eyes, and she suppressed the burning pain in her throat and said loudly, "Yun Ruyue! Don't talk nonsense! I only said that you didn't say King You!"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Siyu felt something was wrong and quickly covered her sister's mouth.
Yun Ruyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Is your Majesty listening clearly? Your good niece admitted it."
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Ping An and the old lady looked at each other subconsciously.
This cloud is like the moon, completely inconsistent with the rumors...
They even had some doubts. Was it the right decision to deal with her to please the Crown Princess?
Gu Sitian's eyes were full of horror. She pushed away her sister's hand covering her mouth and said urgently, "Aunt, don't listen to her nonsense. She deliberately tricked me into saying the wrong thing. If I didn't make a move first, she was the one who did!"
"Shut up!"
Wanbi fluffed her sleeves and stood up, her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the clouds opposite her like the moon.
She had suffered a lot of aggrievedness in the harem, and now if she was refuted by a useless loser like Yun Ruyue, and the news came back to the harem, wouldn't she be caught by those monsters and snake gods again and become a laughing matter?
She won't be able to hold her head up for the next six months!
"A dispute of words should not end up taking people's lives at every turn!" She glanced at the noble ladies present with her beautiful eyes, "You were all here just now, but can you see clearly, who made the move first?"
Between a favored concubine and a helpless good-for-nothing Yun Ruyue, there is no need to guess what these noble ladies will choose.
"Just now...it was Yun Ruyue who made the first move."
"Yes, yes, I saw it too, it was Yun Ruyue who moved first..."
Wanbi raised her eyebrows high, showing a bit of pride, and raised her chin slightly towards Yun Ruyue, "With so many people testifying, what else do you have to say? Someone..."
"My young lady was wrongly accused! It was the eldest lady of the Gu family who took action first! Please be more careful!"
Yun Ruyue felt a figure rush past her, and then she saw Zhao Zhao kneeling on the ground shivering, not daring to raise his head, and begging for mercy for her while speaking incomplete words.
Concubine Wan chuckled softly, "Ha... you and your master are of the same mind, so naturally you talk to your master, and you can't do anything else. If you step back, I will hold your young lady to account."
The guards on the left and right gathered around again, but Yun Ruyue remained unhurried. She reached into her sleeves with one hand, fumbled for a purse, and threw the hair she was twisting and playing with in her hand.
Just as he was about to bite his finger and drop a drop of blood into it, a loud shout suddenly broke out from the crowd behind him.
"Damn it, I've had enough!"
It was clearly a woman's voice, but the words she spoke were rough and vulgar.
"Who? Who is talking?" The old lady looked around for the person, and the ladies subconsciously divided into two sides, revealing the person who had just spoken.
She is wearing a long rosy dress, black hair and shawl, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and small red lips.
Yun Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, it was actually Liluo...
That ape-like sound just now... was actually made by that little cherry mouth???
"Miss Li?" Mrs. Houfu stuttered in surprise and looked at her in surprise.
"My aunt's name is Liluo, not Lili!"
Li Luo strode out of the crowd, walking, with a posture that could be described as a dragon walking like a tiger walking. He rolled up his sleeves as he walked, like a rough man who has been marching and fighting all year round.
The eyes of those noble ladies almost bulged out of their sockets, they couldn't believe what they saw.
"Miss Liluo, why are you talking like this! You are so uneducated!" Mrs. Houfu was so angry that her head was spinning, but Liluo didn't buy it at all.
"My aunt always talks like this. I like to listen! If you don't listen, get out!"
She actually told Madam Hou Fu to get out...
Yun Ruyue stared at the woman who walked out of the crowd, her personality was completely opposite to the one she had when they first met her.
"Li Luo, how dare you talk to my mother like this, you..."
"You get out too!"
Li Luo strode to the front of the crowd and pointed at the noble girls one by one, "You're just a bunch of idiots who dare not tell the truth. Damn you! If you don't tell me, my aunt will tell you!"
She turned her head and said to Wan Bin, "They don't dare to testify. I will testify. It's you, a good niece, who scolded others that they deserved to die, and then started to beat them. But in the end, she was not as good as the others and was beaten instead!"
