Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Shi Qing acted so calm that Xuanyuan Heng was a little surprised. Only then did he realize Qingfeng was not there.

It seems that she is making preparations for both scenarios, which is good. At least she won't be bullied by anyone.

Shi Luoyi was sure that Shi Qing could not turn things around. When everyone was confused, Qingfeng came to the hall.

Shi Qing looked at him and asked, "Is the matter done?"

Qingfeng nodded and said, "To answer the young lady, it has been properly handled."

Shi Qing looked at Emperor Mingde and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, when I was resting just now, I ordered the guards to return to the pleasure boat and take a look, hoping to find any clues.

Indeed, a jade pendant was found at the place where the princess fell into the water. This jade pendant is a mandarin duck with twin petals. It must be the person who harmed the princess."

Shi Luoyi noticed that something was wrong, so he did not try to intervene. Instead, he observed the situation calmly and killed Shi Qing at the right time, leaving him no chance of making a comeback.

The ladies looked at each other, puzzled.

"Who dares to harm the princess? This is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan. It seems it's not Miss Shi. Could the murderer be among them?"

Jin Mi's face changed slightly, and she secretly felt around her waist, only to find that her jade pendant was missing.

She had been hiding it very deeply, but now her face was extremely uneasy and increasingly flustered, and it was obvious that she was hiding something.

"Miss Jin Mi, are you looking for this jade pendant?"

Jin Mi heard Qing Feng's voice, her body stiffened, and she replied stubbornly, "You're joking, I'm not looking for the jade pendant."

Shi Qing crossed his arms and said with a half-smile, "Miss Jin Mi is truly thoughtful. This scheme of borrowing a knife to kill someone is quite clever. Not only did she throw dirty water on me, but she also got rid of the princess."

Princess Yongning is usually quite intelligent, but even though she understood all of Shi Qing's words, she felt empty in her head when they were put together.

Could it be that what he meant was that the idiot Jin Mi wanted to harm him?

No, is Shi Qing sick?

Jin Mi is her lackey, working hard and never complaining, how could she possibly harm herself?

Moreover, although she is the daughter of the Dali Temple, she is a concubine's daughter and is not favored. If it were not for his care, how could Jin Mi have a good life?

"Jin Mi, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Princess Yongning frowned and asked, she really didn't believe it.

Jin Mi's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I didn't! Princess, you have to believe me!"

Qingfeng said slowly, "The railing of the pleasure boat was secretly broken by the girl, right?

Just now, it seemed like you were the one who instigated the princess to torture Miss Shi. Did you want to ruin the princess's marriage, or did you want to smear Miss Shi? Your methods are truly cruel!"

Jin Mi's tolerance was too poor. When she heard these words, her face turned extremely ugly. She was unwilling to admit it and felt very anxious.

*

Princess Yongning's gaze fell on Jin Mi. She looked at her with a scrutinizing look and spoke coldly.

"Jin Mi, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Of course Jin Mi would not admit it. The emperor and Concubine Yu were both there. If she admitted it, everything would be over.

She secretly thought in her heart that as long as she didn't want to, no one could force her to admit it.

Perhaps, Shi Qing was just guessing. She didn't believe there was any real evidence. If there was, why didn't she produce it when the princess first became suspicious?

She must be deceiving herself!

She plopped down on her knees and argued for herself.

"Princess, I have known you for many years. How could I harm you? Shi Qing is deliberately trying to frame me. Please, Princess, help me!"

Shi Qing curled his lips and asked Qingfeng to throw the jade pendant to Jin Mi, who snorted lightly.

"Perhaps your original target was the princess. You harmed her, framed me, and escaped unharmed. What a brilliant plan, Miss Jin Mi."

Jin Mi took the jade pendant and her face turned pale. She hid the jade pendant and glanced inadvertently at Cui Xu who was serving behind the princess, with tears flashing in her eyes.

Cui Xu supported the princess and looked up at Emperor Mingde and said.

"Father, the princess has been troubled. It would be better to drop this matter here, otherwise the wedding banquet cannot continue. Miss Shi saved the princess and meant no harm. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding."

Emperor Mingde had exactly this in mind. All those present were guests attending the wedding banquet. The affair between the princess and her husband had caused a sensation in the city, and he could not afford to lose face.

Just as he was about to speak, Xuanyuan Heng spoke before him.

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns my fiancée. If she is unjustly accused of murdering the princess, and someone proves her innocence, I will investigate this matter today. Once I find the person behind this, I will bring him back and have the Jinwu Guards interrogate him thoroughly."

Cui Xu clenched his hands beneath his wide sleeves and pursed his lips, saying, "Master Xuanyuan, a cup of tea has already passed. Have you found out who it is?"

Xuanyuan Heng calmly ordered someone to bring up a few maids, and then he came with a broken piece of golden nanmu wood in his hand, which looked a bit like the railing of the pleasure boat.

Shi Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at Xuanyuan Heng, thinking to herself, after all, he is the governor of the imperial city, and his idea is the same as hers. Fortunately, this key evidence was taken away by her own people.

When Jin Mi heard the words "Jinwu Guard", she suddenly felt weak in the knees and almost fell down. It was not until Xuanyuan Heng pointed the sword in his hand at her that her defenses collapsed and she defended herself harshly.

"It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. Is the Governor trying to use his authority to protect his fiancée?"

Shi Qing did not hold back and went straight to finish off the opponent.

"Qingfeng has just interrogated the maidservants on the pleasure boat. This pleasure boat is newly built, and the railings are reinforced. Besides, today is the princess's wedding banquet, so no one dares to make a mistake on such a matter."

"Besides the maidservant besides the princess, there is another person who sent people to tamper with the matter. She is Miss Jin's maidservant. The princess wanted to embarrass me, but I didn't get on the boat. Jin Mi wanted to harm me."

As soon as Shi Qing finished speaking, the Jinwu Guards came over with Jin Mi's maid.

Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, the maid had no choice but to confess the matter.

Jin Mi's body was trembling slightly. She knew that what she had done was afraid that it would be exposed. She thought that she could put the blame on Shi Qing, the bitch, to take the blame for her, but she didn't expect that she would end up implicating herself.

It is true that good fortune comes with misfortune, and misfortune comes with good fortune.

The noble lady who was eating melons was a little surprised and questioned, "Jin Mi and the princess have always been as close as sisters, how could she do such a thing?"

Shi Qing crossed his arms, glanced around, then looked at Cui Xu who was avoiding his gaze and spoke softly.

"Of course it's for... the current Prince Consort, Cui Xu."

Jin Mi's face turned pale. She just wanted the princess to learn a lesson. What had she done wrong?

She knelt on the ground, without defending herself, but with tears in her eyes.

"This is all caused by the evil intentions of this servant. It has nothing to do with the Prince Consort. I am jealous of the princess."

Princess Yongning never imagined that the mastermind behind the incident was actually her own good sister. She had always been willful and capricious, and this was the first time she was backstabbed by her own people and almost lost her life.

She raised her hand and slapped Jin Mi hard on the face with such force that Jin Mi's pretty cheek swelled up quickly.

“Bitch, this princess treats you as a sister, how can you treat me like this? In the past, I only wanted the good things given by my father.

I sent someone to give you a portion, and also ordered someone to send you some good fabrics, but you are such a heartless woman!"

Princess Yongning was shaking with anger. Did she raise an ungrateful person?

Not only did he not share her hatred for the enemy, but he actually wanted to kill her. She almost died in the lake just now...

But when did Cui Xu become involved with Jin Mi? Princess Yongning was a little confused.

Jin Mi knew that the truth would come out sooner or later, so she decided to just go out with him.

"The princess said she treated me like a sister, but I just felt like a dog she kept...

The princess snatched away what I liked without any thought, and then threw it away... How could I not feel resentment?"

Shi Qing calmly watched this dog-eat-dog farce and sneered, "Princess, why don't you ask the Prince Consort what the relationship between Jin Mi and him is?"

Several eyes fell on Cui Xu. Emperor Mingde stroked his forehead and said with a headache.

"Prince Consort, what is your relationship with the daughter of the Supreme Court Minister?"

Cui Xu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Jin Mi with a determined look. No one could stop him from achieving wealth and glory. Although the Cui family had a good reputation, they also needed power to stabilize their status.

Princess Yongning may be domineering, but she's the best candidate. As for Jin Mi...

What did her life or death have to do with him? It was just a fate that they had once had. Now he had his own way to wealth and fame, and Jin Mi was nothing to him.

"Your Majesty, I have never met Miss Jin before. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Jin Mi couldn't help but let the tears fall from her eyes. The past resurfaced in her mind. What was the promise he made to her under the moonlight before the Lantern Festival?

What a stranger! Although she knew Cui Xu's temperament, she couldn't help vomiting blood at this moment, and her eyes went black and she fainted.

Concubine Yu was furious and ordered her to be thrown into the Sky Prison, beaten with fifty boards, and not allowed to release her.

Fifty lashes...

Everyone was shocked. An ordinary woman could only receive ten strokes of the cane at most, and fifty strokes would be fatal!

Emperor Mingde finally issued an imperial edict, fining the salary of the Dali Temple Minister and demoting him, and the matter was finally over.

The emperor ordered that no one should spread rumors about what happened today. Everyone in the princess's mansion was trembling with fear. They naturally did not dare to reveal a single word. After all, ugly things should not be made public.

After such an ordeal, Concubine Yu was worried that something might happen, so she ordered people to dress up the princess, send her to pay homage to heaven and earth with her husband, and then send her to the bridal chamber.

Whether Princess Yongning is willing or not, the marriage is a done deal.

Shi Qing saw that the fun was over and turned around to leave.

Xuanyuan Heng, however, said to Emperor Mingde in public, "Your Majesty has always been clear about rewards and punishments. I would like to ask for mercy on your behalf."

When Xuanyuan Heng spoke, his voice was particularly magnetic, as if it were pure jade. He was really handsome, like a banished immortal who had strayed into the mortal world, very beautiful.

When he called her Qingqing, her cheeks turned slightly red and she actually felt a little numb in her heart.

It’s a foul, Governor Xuanyuan is flirting without knowing it!

Emperor Mingde looked at Xuanyuan Heng strangely. When he returned from the border, the emperor had wanted to give Xuanyuan Heng the position of a king or a marquis of a different surname.

Xuanyuan Heng has made great contributions and has protected Emperor Mingde all the way, so he deserves the high position.

However, Xuanyuan Heng refused all of them and chose the position of Governor of the Imperial City among all the positions.

He was a sharp sword placed in the court by Emperor Mingde to kill all villains.

Now, he came in person to ask for mercy, which made Emperor Mingde curious.

"Tell me, for whom are you asking for grace?"

Emperor Mingde looked at Xuanyuan Heng with great interest. It was the first time for him to ask for mercy for someone else, which was a rare thing.

"My humble fiancée risked her life to save Her Royal Highness, but was nearly slandered and defamed by the Princess. Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence, and I would like to ask for mercy for Shi Qing."

The guests who had not yet left the venue were all surprised to hear these words. They looked at Shi Qing and Xuanyuan Heng in surprise, and were even more amazed in their hearts that the two of them looked so well-matched.

Although Shi Qing was not of high birth, she was outstanding in appearance and was more than qualified to be a match for Xuanyuan Heng.

Emperor Mingde had exactly this in mind. The girl remained calm in the face of danger and defended herself, which was quite clever of her.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Qing, his gaze as sharp as a torch, and spoke in a low voice.

"Miss Shi sacrificed her life to save the princess. You are resolute and brave, and you are kind and virtuous. After you marry Lord Xuanyuan, I will confer upon you the title of Second Rank Consort."

Everyone was very surprised and at the same time envious of Shi Qing for being so highly regarded by the emperor. However, it was also because she was lucky, as the position of a second-rank imperial consort was not easily granted.

Even the mother of Concubine Yu in the palace was still only a second-rank lady, and her rank was limited to the first rank.

The chief eunuch beside Emperor Mingde said with a smile, "Miss Shi may be too happy. Why don't you come and thank the emperor for his grace?"

Shi Qing bowed to the emperor, which was the standard etiquette of a lady from a noble family.

"Your humble servant, Shi Qing, thanks the Lord for His great grace."

At the same time, the emperor also specifically instructed his personal eunuch to give Shi Qing some toys as a reward when he returned to the palace.

After the party, Xuanyuan Heng and Shi Qing left the princess's mansion together. As for the emperor's reward, everything was as they expected.

Back in the carriage, Xuanyuan Heng rode in the same carriage with her. Shi Qing glanced at the person next to her and said in a cheerful voice.

"Thank you, Ah Heng, for today."

Xuanyuan Heng's eyebrows were cold, and he said softly, "I was just passing by and wanted to help you out."

"Ah Heng treats me so well. When I return home, I will give Ah Heng something as a token of my appreciation."

The girl smiled and looked at the person beside her with burning eyes. Xuanyuan Heng looked a little unnatural, so he reminded her.

"What's the problem between you and Princess Xiaoyao? She seems to be targeting you in particular."

Shi Qing is good at playing straight forward. The tragic love between the original owner and Xuanyuan Heng was caused by not speaking out.

So, she said bluntly, "Your Majesty, you may not know that Princess Xiaoyao is my eldest sister, born to my father's second wife.

The Shi family's affairs were nothing more than a family misfortune. My elder sister slandered me for eloping with someone, but I didn't expect that her words would come true. She actually secretly got married to someone.

But she jumped into the river when she was getting married. My father sent many people to look for her. He thought my elder sister had disappeared, but he didn't expect that she had become the Princess of Xiaoyao.

Xuanyuan Heng knew everything about the Shi family. He had heard some of Shi Luoyi's past deeds, but the facts were slightly different from what Shi Qing said.

"So that's it."

Xuanyuan Heng only warned, "Stay away from her in the future."

Shi Qing was a little surprised. Xuanyuan Heng shouldn't have said those two sarcastic words to him. It seemed like he had changed his temperament.
