The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Seeing that everyone was pointing their fingers at him, the beggar man guessed that he was blackmailing her, and he argued angrily, "You are talking nonsense. You just wanted to curry favor with her because she is the Crown Princess and has a high position. You said I was blackmailing her? Did I ask her for money? Who has the guts to blackmail someone knowing that this is the Crown Prince's carriage?"

At this time, a passerby who had witnessed the whole incident could no longer hold back his indignation and stood up to refute loudly, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense! You didn't get any money from the Crown Princess because she is so smart and unmoved, and didn't pay any attention to you, a troublemaker? It's not that you didn't want to extort money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of echoes from all around.

"That's absolutely right! Who said that no one dares to blackmail the carriage of the Prince's Mansion? In my opinion, if you really want to blackmail, you have to target those who are powerful and famous. They may be in a hurry to get on the road and have no time and energy to get entangled with scoundrels like you. You just took the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price! You are really greedy!"

Hearing the accusations from everyone, the originally aggressive beggar suddenly turned blue with anger and trembled all over. He muttered to himself: Isn't it said that the Crown Princess has a bad reputation and a bad reputation? Why are all these people now speaking in her favor?

Could it be that this beggar man could not see through the tricks? You know, it might be okay to discuss the Crown Princess in private, but at this moment, in front of her, who would dare to confront her openly? Unless they are tired of living and don't want to continue to mix in this world! What's more, from beginning to end, every word of the Crown Princess was clear and logical, and she didn't mean to bully others at all.

Facing the quarrels and questions from these people, the beggar was obviously furious. He suddenly stretched out his hand and forcefully lifted up his right trouser leg. In an instant, the people around him exclaimed.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the beggar's right leg bone was completely broken in the middle! The wound was bleeding and the flesh was turned outward. It looked horrible and made people gasp. For a moment, everyone was so shocked by the scene that they were speechless.

The beggar man questioned everyone present with an angry face: "Who among you would mess up your legs like this just to extort a little money?" His voice was full of grief and despair, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and pain in his heart.

Even Lu Lingxi, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but gasp after seeing this scene. She knew that the mastermind behind this was going to any lengths to ruin her reputation. With such a serious injury, it was likely that the beggar's right leg would never recover in this lifetime.

Those who had just been vehemently refuting the beggar man now looked at each other in silence. After all, human nature is compassionate, and when they saw such a miserable scene with their own eyes, their previous doubts and accusations instantly disappeared.

However, although Lu Lingxi had a little sympathy for the poor beggar man in her heart, the reality made it difficult for her to change her position. Because at this moment, the beggar man was in opposition to her. So, Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then stared at the beggar man with sharp eyes, and asked coldly: "According to you, your leg was broken by my carriage? But why can't I see any traces of ruts or blood on your trouser legs?"

The beggar said in horror: "When the wheels rolled over me just now, my trouser legs were rolled up for some reason. That's why there are no traces."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi frowned slightly, and then asked: "According to what you said, could it be that the wheel of the carriage directly pressed on your leg? If so, then go and check if there is any blood on the wheels of the carriage I'm riding in. Of course, everyone present can also come forward and take a look." After saying that, she raised her jade hand lightly, pointed to the head of the palace soldiers standing beside her, and motioned him to go and check.

After receiving the order, the head of the palace soldiers hurriedly walked to the front of the carriage, squatted down and carefully examined the wheels. After a moment, he stood up and returned to Lu Lingxi, and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I have checked it, and I did not find any blood on the wheel."

At this time, the beggar still refused to give up and continued to argue: "Maybe the bloodstains were rubbed off in the chaos."

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, and asked back: "Scraped off? Are you sure? You know, since you fell to the ground, neither I nor my carriage has moved at all! How can you wipe off the bloodstains in front of everyone?"

Before the beggar could answer, someone behind him exclaimed, "Why is there blood here?"

That was in front of him, where the carriage had not yet entered the road, and it was also the direction the beggar had just come from. Was the beggar shocked? The bloodstain was not wiped clean? Impossible.

In order to divert everyone's attention, the beggar immediately hugged his injured leg and cried, "Oh! My leg hurts so much, the blood is almost drained out. The Crown Princess is just torturing me here, she wants me to bleed to death, so that there will be no evidence. She has delayed for nearly an hour, she is trying to kill me."

The bloodstains behind this person were certainly not left unwiped, but were done by the secret guards who followed Lu Lingxi. It was a time of trouble recently, how could she not have a single guard around her? There were only Chunhong, Liulv and a groom. Even when there was nothing going on, Nan Wangyu would have sent secret guards to protect her. When Lu Lingxi mentioned the bloodstains when arguing with the beggar, the secret guards took action immediately.

Unexpectedly, when the beggar saw that he was about to be exposed, he immediately started talking nonsense again.

At this time, a soft-hearted old lady began to chant: "Amitabha, this is a human life after all, how can it be wasted here like this?"

Chunhong stepped forward and handed Lu Lingxi a porcelain bottle, and replied: "This servant has golden wound medicine, which can stop the bleeding first."

When the beggar heard that there was medicine, he shouted: "I don't want your medicine. Who knows if you will take the opportunity to poison me?"

Lu Lingxi knew that the beggar man would not let her explain the matter clearly and clear her name, so she did not reply to him. She only said to the head of the palace soldiers beside her: "Send someone to invite the doctor from the nearest clinic."
