"boom!"

A hidden weapon flew towards the golden hairpin in Feng Qingluan's hand and knocked it away.

Feng Qingluan looked at the thing on the ground. It was not a hidden weapon, but a broken branch.

She looked in the direction where the branch came from.

Crown Prince Xie Heng came over.

Feng Shuyao escaped the disaster, but she was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying. Suddenly she saw the prince, got up and stumbled towards him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me. This bold maid is trying to kill me."

In desperation, she rushed to the prince, wanting to throw herself into his arms for comfort.

Ye Feng stepped forward to stop Feng Shuyao:

"How dare you! You dare to offend the prince!"

Feng Shuyao then realized that she had lost her composure.

With outsiders present, she shouldn't treat the prince like this, so she stopped crying and complained:

"Your Highness, it's great that you're here. That slut wanted to use the golden hairpin to ruin my appearance. She committed a crime of insubordination. I beg Your Highness to punish her!"

Xie Heng said: "Catch her!"

Ye Feng walked towards Feng Qingluan.

At this time, Xie Yan was invited by Zhinan.

Seeing Feng Shuyao standing in front of the prince, with a look of fear on her face, crying, but her eyes drifting towards the prince from time to time, Xie Yan did not realize anything. He was just displeased to see Feng Shuyao getting too close to another man.

"Shuyao, why are you crying?"

Feng Shuyao finally got to see the prince and wanted to look at him a little longer, but was interrupted by Xie Yan who came rushing over. She was annoyed that he came so quickly, so she ran to him crying and said aggrievedly:

"My Lord, that maid tried to cut my face. I was so scared, wuwuwu..."

Xie Yan held her in his arms distressedly:

"Don't be afraid, Shuyao. No one dares to hurt you when I am here."

When Xie Heng saw Xie Yan hugging Feng Shuyao and the two of them were extremely close, disgust flashed in his eyes.

The thank you banquet came, Ye Feng stopped and looked at the prince.

Xie Heng said: "Since the King of Chu is here, you can handle this matter on your own."

Without even looking at Feng Shuyao again, he left.

Feng Shuyao's eyes were glued to Xie Heng's back. Seeing her like this, Xie Yan became even more displeased and hugged Feng Shuyao.

"Everyone has gone far away, what are you looking at him doing?"

Feng Shuyao came back to her senses and explained guiltily:

"Your Highness, when I almost ruined my face, it was the Crown Prince who helped me and broke the golden hairpin in her hand. Otherwise, my face would have been scratched with bloody marks. It was the Crown Prince who saved me."

Xie Yan's face was slightly angry:

"You mean to say that I am late, and you have fallen in love with the prince?"

Feng Shuyao quickly shook her head:

"No, no, no, I just want to thank His Royal Highness for saving my life. Please don't misunderstand me, Your Highness. I am your woman, how could I possibly like someone else?"

Xie Yan pursed his lips, not dwelling on this matter, and looked Feng Qingluan up and down.

"What's your name? Which servant are you from? How dare you hurt my woman?"

If it were someone else, after hearing Xie Yan's words, they would have become panicked and immediately knelt down.

However, the woman in front of him did not show any fear at all, and even looked a little sarcastic.

Feng Qingluan said, "I have always heard that the King of Chu favors Concubine Feng Shu. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved. Concubine Feng Shu is arrogant and domineering. I didn't go to massage her legs, but the master and servant came over and slapped me in the face. Is this the rule of the King of Chu's mansion?"

Feng Qingluan did not answer Xie Yan's question, but instead hit him right in the sore spot.

Ever since he favored his concubine and neglected his wife Feng Qingluan, causing her to divorce him, Xie Yan's reputation in the capital has plummeted.

He asked Feng Shuyao to be a little willful in the Prince Chu's Mansion, but to control her temper outside and not to act too pretentiously in front of others so as to make people think that she dared to act like this because he doted on her.

Unexpectedly, Feng Shuyao's temper did not change. She didn't even know who the other person was, and she asked someone to slap the other person.

Xie Yan's face looked a little ugly.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Whose servant are you?"

"She is from my palace. Is there something wrong with the King of Chu?"

Before Feng Qingluan answered, Xie Jin came over from the yard.

With him was Mi Tu, who was wearing a black robe and a mask.

Seeing him coming, Xie Yan said, "Nephew greets the Emperor's uncle. The Imperial Master is here too."

Xie Jin said, "I was talking to the Imperial Master about something, and I heard the King of Chu ordering my maid. What happened?"

Xie Yan said angrily, "Uncle, your maid threatened Shu Yao and wanted to disfigure her. A little maid acted so recklessly. I'm afraid she was relying on your power. She belongs to you. Please give your nephew an explanation."

Xie Jin looked at Feng Qingluan: "Is that so?"

Feng Qingluan said, "I obeyed the prince's orders and only served him. I dared not serve anyone else. Concubine Feng Shu asked me to massage her legs, but I refused. She and the maid came over and beat them, and I was forced to resist."

The corners of Xie Jin's mouth twitched slightly. What a good order he gave.

When did he give the order?

Feng Qingluan is so arrogant even as a maid. If the Emperor and the Empress ask her to serve them, will she also use her own orders to take the blame?

Thinking so, Xie Jin looked at Xie Yan and Feng Shuyao with a stern expression:

"Lian Xing is my maid, and she only serves me, Concubine Feng Shu. Do you want her to serve you?"

Xie Jin's voice suddenly became cold.

Feng Shuyao felt a chill down her spine.

Prince Rong meant that who the hell did she think she was that she dared to let his people serve her?

Thinking back to when Prince Rong almost cut her throat, he was definitely not a gentle and considerate man.

Feng Shuyao said, "Your Highness Prince Rong, I dare not. I did not know that she was your maid, and she would not tell me if I asked her. If I knew, I would definitely not dare to order her around. This matter is my fault, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Xie Yan hadn't expected that this maidservant had such a prominent background. When he looked at her again, there was a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

"Uncle, I've never heard of you having a maidservant before. Why did you bring a maid with you today?"

Not only is Xie Jin not interested in women, he never brings a maid with him when he travels.

But now he is following someone, which is really strange.

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Why, do I need to report my affairs to you?"

Xie Yan was speechless.

If he didn't know that Feng Qingluan stayed in the capital because of Madam Hou's accident, he would have suspected that Xie Jin was traveling with a woman and protecting her, and wondered if she was Feng Qingluan in disguise.

After all, everyone in the capital knew that Xie Jin had asked for permission to marry Feng Qingluan, so he must be very fond of Feng Qingluan.

While several people were talking, the national master Mi Tu next to them remained silent.

Mi Tu was wearing a mask, and although he was facing everyone, Feng Qingluan felt that his eyes under the mask were staring at her.

Mi Tu looked at Feng Qingluan, admiring her perfectly shaped head.

This was the most perfect head he had ever seen in many years, and he really wanted to take it down and play with it in his hands.
