The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bright and beautiful woman in a red gauze dress. She was holding a jade flute in one hand and casually tapping it in the palm of the other hand, with light steps, like a fairy descending to earth.

What surprised everyone even more was that she was accompanied by her maid Gan Tang.

Chu Mohan was stunned. He must have lost his mind to believe the lies of that woman Shi Zhi, mistaking pearls for fish eyes and discarding the unpolished jade like a worn-out shoe.

Nan Xingchen took a few steps closer, put his arms behind his back, and asked crisply, "Who called me?"

Shi Zhi's body froze in place. The maid reported to her that Nan Xingchen, the bitch, had clearly entered the palace, so why did she come in from behind?

Seeing that no one responded, Nan Xingchen smiled and said, "It's so lively today. What good show did I miss?"

Among the women, there was a woman named Xihe. She couldn't stand Shi Zhi's pretentious face. She chuckled and said, "Xingchen, why did you come just now? Miss Shi Zhi and the fourth prince were having an affair in the side room just now."

"what?"

Nan Xingchen pretended to be surprised. She looked at Chu Mohan: "Shi Zhi was with the Second Prince... why is she with the Fourth Prince now? This, this..."

She gave him a sympathetic look, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Chu Mohan hurriedly distanced himself from Shi Zhi and said, "Xingchen, I have nothing to do with Miss Shi."

Nan Xingchen tapped the jade flute in her hand and said with a laugh, "Second Prince, we have broken off our engagement. Whoever you are with has nothing to do with me."

Chu Mohan's expression changed slightly, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

Shi Zhi's face became even uglier. Her plan was perfect, how could anything go wrong?

What’s even more infuriating is that Chu Mohan looked at her with disgust, but when he looked at that bitch Nan Xingchen, his eyes were full of sparkling love.

She looked around at the people around her, but no one spoke for her. Even Chu He, who was usually on good terms with her, turned his head away.

Chu He is not stupid. Today is her grandmother's birthday. The Fourth Prince called Shi Zhi's name in public, which shows that the relationship between the two must be unusual.

She doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

Shi Zhi's gaze finally fell on Gan Tang. She shouted, "Nan Xingchen, your maid Gan Tang was lying there just now. Everyone saw it."

Gan Tang angrily retorted: "You are talking nonsense. This servant has always been by my young lady's side and has never left her side for even a step."

Shi Zhi stepped forward and pointed at the person on the ground: "Look, this person is Nan Xingchen's maid."

She was obviously lacking in energy when she spoke.

I'm afraid she herself doesn't believe what she said.

Gan Tang took two steps forward, pointed at the person and said, "The person on the ground is not me at all. Everyone come and see who she is."

She bravely turned the person on the ground over. A few people who liked to join in the fun leaned over and looked at him carefully.

Xihe clicked her tongue twice and said with a smile, "This little maid looks unfamiliar. She is not Nan Xingchen's maid at all."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, her face was gloomy, and her eyes were full of ferocity. She asked Zhirou, "What's going on?"

With a thud, Zhirou knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please punish me, Queen Mother. I was bewildered for a moment and accepted a golden hairpin from Miss Shizhi. She asked me to accuse the woman on the ground of being the maid of Miss Nanwangfu. I don't even know what her maid looks like. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother flew into a rage, and her cold eyes were as chilling as a sword.

Shi Zhi had violated her biggest taboo by daring to bribe the people around her.

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Come here, drag Zhirou away and beat her to death with sticks, and throw Shizhi into the Heavenly Prison!"

What she hated most in her life was that someone was doing evil things in her territory and misleading the people.

Shi Zhi cried and shouted, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please spare my life."

She turned her head and looked at Chu He: "Wang Ji, Wang Ji, please plead for me..."

Chu He glanced at her helplessly. She had mistaken her for someone else. Why was Shi Zhi so stupid?

Shi Zhi was dragged by two guards. When she passed by Chu Mohan, she still did not give up: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Zhi'er is sincere to you, save Zhi'er."

Chu Mohan turned his head away without blinking.

Nan Xingchen secretly sighed, it really was true what the saying goes: The imperial family is the most ruthless!

That night, the two of them were still in love in the carriage, but now...

After Shi Zhi was dragged away, the Queen Mother ordered everyone to leave: "Today's banquet ends here, you all go."

The female members of the royal family did not want to stay in the palace any longer, so they bowed and prepared to leave.

Nan Xingchen also bowed to the Queen Mother and prepared to leave with Gan Tang.

As soon as he walked out of the palace, the second prince Chu Mohan chased out. He took a few quick steps and walked shoulder to shoulder with Nan Xingchen.

After a moment of silence, Chu Mohan said, "Xingchen, do you and I still have a chance?"

Nan Xingchen opened her red lips slightly and said calmly, "Nothing."

She was too lazy to say a word to this unfaithful man.

After seeing the true face of Shi Zhi, I remembered her good qualities again? ?

She doesn't want it!

Chu Mohan refused to give up: "Xingchen, I was deceived by that woman Shi Zhi. If I lower myself to pursue you, will you give me a chance?"

Nan Xingchen played with the jade flute in his hand and ignored her.

Gan Tang on the side said: "Second Prince, please let my lady go. My lady really can't afford such a big Buddha like you."

Chu Mohan was speechless for a moment: "You..."

Nan Xingchen said slowly, "I asked His Majesty to issue an edict to cancel the engagement that day. I have already made it clear that I will never regret it. Second Prince, why are you still pestering me?"

Chu Mohan still had some pride in him, and being rejected by a woman for the first time in his life was a heavy blow to him.

After Nan Xingchen led Gan Tang away, Gan Tang murmured, "Miss, you were really smart today. If you were a step later, Shi Zhi's evil plan would have succeeded."

Nan Xingchen rubbed her head and said with a smile: "You performed well today, you deserve a reward!"

Gan Tang leaned over and said, "Miss, what do you want to reward me with?"

Nan Xingchen pointed at the gift box in her hand and said, "How about this hairpin as a reward for you?"

Gan Tang said, "Miss, I dare not wear such an exquisite hairpin."

She was startled and said, "Miss, you are so powerful now that you even dared to cancel the Second Prince's marriage. Gan Tang really can't think of anyone in the world who is worthy of you."

Nan Xingchen pursed her lips.

Su Muwei's figure flashed in her mind unconsciously. This person was always elusive, coming and going without a trace, and no one knew what he was busy with?

As they approached the palace gate, Xue Quan, the chief of the guards beside King Xun of Chu, came over and said respectfully, "Miss Nan Xingchen, His Majesty invites you."

Nan Xingchen asked with a smile: "Guard Xue, do you know why His Majesty wants to see me?"

Xue Quan said: "How dare I guess the emperor's mind? Miss will know it when she goes there."

Nan Xingchen asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you know what happened tonight?"

Xue Quan's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he said, "Your Majesty already knows what happened just now."

Nan Xingchen frowned slightly. The palace was full of His Majesty's spies, so naturally nothing could be hidden from him.
