The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Zhao Mianmian was not the only one who discovered that something was wrong with the "Colorful Spirit Beast".

As soon as Princess Jingyang lifted the black cloth covering the cage, a lady standing next to Zhao Mianmian lowered her voice and whispered to the people next to her:

"Why does that colorful beast look so listless?"

Someone immediately replied to her:

"Don't mention you. I think so too. I hope you don't have any plague."

Because they were standing far away and behind the female relatives, they did not attract the attention of Princess Jingyang, but Zhao Mianmian heard every word.

"Logically, this shouldn't happen. The things sent out from the palace are sent directly to Prince Ning's Mansion and Princess Jingyang. They should be carefully checked before leaving the palace."

"Could it be that someone is jealous of Princess Jingyang and did something to this colorful spirit beast? This colorful spirit beast was carried to Prince Ning's mansion as soon as it left the palace, but it didn't go anywhere. Could it be that the servants of Prince Ning's mansion didn't take good care of it and let someone take advantage of it?"

"If you ask me, it's not impossible. Think about it, there are people everywhere in Prince Ning's mansion today. Who knows, someone might have some bad intentions and do something bad secretly!

As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Don't underestimate the abilities of those people!"

The one who spoke was the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

As the lady said this, she squinted her eyes and looked at the women behind her on the right with contempt. It was obvious that she was making a veiled criticism, which made the women angry but unable to speak, with a look of excitement on their faces.

Zhao Mianmian was small and had no say, so she just hid behind others and watched the show in silence.

But as I ate the melon, something felt wrong...

Everyone saw that something was wrong with the colorful spirit beast, but they didn't dare to say anything and could only murmur in private.

Only one person did not retreat but advanced, walked forward leisurely, and stood beside Princess Jingyang with a proud look on his face.

"Princess, I think there's something wrong with this colorful spirit beast. Why is it so... listless?"

The person who spoke was Su Yingyue, who had previously been scheming and scheming against He Xulan.

Su Yingyue's voice was neither loud nor soft, and her words showed her familiarity with Princess Jingyang, giving people a feeling of superiority.

However, as soon as Su Yingyue finished speaking, the originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Some had serious looks in their eyes, some seemed to be smiling, but all of them were waiting for Su Yingyue's performance with the mentality of watching a good show.

Mrs. Su was shocked when she saw this, thinking that something bad was going to happen, and she quickly rushed out of the crowd, trying to take her daughter away.

Unfortunately, these words had already fallen into the ears of Eunuch Sun who had not yet left.

Eunuch Sun's face froze. He raised one hand and stopped Madam Su behind him.

He looked at Su Yingyue deeply and said unhappily:

"Miss Su, please don't say such nonsense. The emperor saw this colorful spirit beast coming out of the palace with his own eyes. It was so lively that it couldn't be more lively.

You're saying it's not right now, does that mean we, the dozen or so servants, didn't take good care of it on the way?"

Although it is a birthday gift, it is after all a gift from His Majesty the Emperor.

According to the rules, if anything goes wrong with this "gift" from the palace before it is delivered, the person responsible for escorting it will be held responsible.

Su Yingyue's words seemed to be just a simple statement of facts, but if you really want to be serious, the death of one or two servants would be the lightest punishment.

So when Eunuch Sun said this, no one dared to breathe.

Su Yingyue also realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends for herself.

She lowered her head, and her peripheral vision swept across the people in the courtyard, then landed on He Xulan who was standing alone in the corner.

Su Yingyue originally wanted to drag He Xulan into the water, but she had lost face at the hands of He Xulan before, and if she continued to bite him now, she would inevitably be accused of personal revenge.

So Su Yingyue's eyes flashed, and she turned her attention to Zhao Mianmian brought by He Xulan.

Oh, if I can't handle you, He Xulan, how can I handle a helpless little girl? !

Su Yingyue gritted her teeth, walked quickly to Eunuch Sun, and bowed to him calmly.

"Father-in-law, you misunderstood. Yingyue didn't mean that."

"What Yingyue wanted to say was that she saw someone approaching the colorful beast in the garden before, and she wanted to stop them. But she thought that she was also a guest, and it would be inappropriate to say something like that. She was also afraid of alienating the friendship between the sisters, so she kept silent."

"But now that I see the colorful spirit beast in a state of depression, I am very worried. I am worried that the man's actions will ruin the princess' birthday banquet and cause several eunuchs to be punished, so I rashly brought it up.

I was thinking if I could find a veterinarian to take a look at this spirit beast first, so that we wouldn't be burdened by others."

Su Yingyue's words were sincere and well-reasoned, showing her self-discipline, courtesy and moderation.

However, she forgot that those present were all veterans who had seen a lot of ups and downs in the backyard. They could figure out the meaning behind her words as soon as they thought about it, and they couldn't help but cast strange looks at Su An, who was not good at teaching her daughter.

The women present did not say anything, just waiting to see how Su Yingyue would perform.

Except for the person involved, Princess Jingyang.

When Princess Jingyang heard this, she immediately felt a surge of anger rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

This is in Prince Ning's Mansion! This is her birthday party!!!

Who dares to attack her spirit beast in her place? Do they really not take Liang Yufu seriously?

Besides, His Majesty personally ordered people to find this colorful beast. There is no other one like it in the world. If the colorful beast is destroyed in Prince Ning's mansion, what's the difference between this and slapping her in the face in front of everyone? ?

Thinking of Liang Yufu made me so angry.

She pulled out the whip she carried with her, pointed it at Su Yingyue, and forced her to tell her the man's name.

"Who?! Who is so daring? I'll chop her hands off!"

Eunuch Sun frowned when he heard this. He took a step forward and was about to say something.

Then he saw the man standing in the distance shaking his head at him, and then he calmly took back the foot he had stepped forward...

Su Yingyue paused and did not speak immediately. Instead, she curled the corners of her mouth and glanced at He Xulan with a smug look, which frightened both Qin Shuyu and He Xulan.

Then everyone saw her raise her finger, lightly passing over Qin Shuyu and He Xulan, pointing at the person standing behind them... Zhao Mianmian.

"It's her!! It's the little girl that He Xulan brought with her!!"
