Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Ye and Shen Yuan jogged out of the hall and saw Jiang Qingyan sitting on the ground rubbing her feet. They quickly went over to check on her injuries.

Mo Ting said coldly, "Did you throw those pastries out just now?"

Jiang Qingyan said with a pained expression, "My little darlings, what's wrong with you now?"

With a look of heartache, Shen Yuan took off Jiang Qingyan's shoes and socks. When he saw the bruise on the instep, he couldn't help but frown.

He turned his head and glanced inside the hall, then said coldly, "Mo Yan, come out and admit your mistake at once!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan also looked up into the hall, her face full of doubt. Why was Mo Yan here too?

At this moment, Mo Yan walked slowly out of the palace with her head down, looking at Jiang Qingyan with a pitiful expression, and choked out, "Your Majesty, perhaps I should leave the palace..."

Jiang Qingyan looked at the group with a blank expression, then waved to Mo Yan, signaling her to come over and talk.

Mo Yan walked up to Jiang Qingyan, slowly squatted down, and tears instantly streamed down her face, landing right on Jiang Qingyan's instep.

Jiang Qingyan quickly took Mo Yan's hand to comfort her, "Mo Yan, don't cry. What happened? Tell me! Did someone bully you?"

Mo Yan glanced cautiously at Chen Yuan and Xuan Ye, sobbing, her whole body trembling uncontrollably as if she were afraid.

She shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No...no...no one bullied me...I wanted to leave the palace myself..."

Jiang Qingyan glanced coldly at Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye, and said unhappily, "You two, tell me, what exactly happened? Did you bully Mo Yan again?"

Shen Yuan said speechlessly, "Who's bullying whom? She suddenly rushed in with a plate of pastries and headed straight for me. I just dodged, and she threw the plate of pastries away."

Xuan Ye quickly added, "Husband, I can testify! She deliberately ran into Shen Yuan's arms just now!"

Jiang Qingyan was completely confused. She looked at Mo Yan for confirmation, only to see Mo Yan curled up in a ball, hugging her knees, and stammering, "I...I just wanted to put the pastries on the table...who would have thought that young master would knock the pastries out of my hand...Perhaps I'm just not likable...that's why the two young masters misunderstood me like that..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye looked at Mo Yan in disbelief and asked in unison, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Based on Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye's attitude towards Mo Yan when she entered the palace, Jiang Qingyan naturally believed what Mo Yan said.

She glared fiercely at Chen Yuan and Xuan Ye, and said coldly, "You two go back to your palaces and reflect on your mistakes!"

After saying that, he forced himself to stand up, bent down and put his arm around Mo Yan's shoulder, helped her up, and then they went into the main hall together.

Just before entering, Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye clearly saw Mo Yan reveal a subtle hint of smugness to them.

Before long, the others also arrived at Chaoyang Palace. Seeing Shen Yuan and Xuan Ye standing in the courtyard with frustrated expressions, Yi Luo asked in confusion, "Why are you two standing in the courtyard? Why don't you come in and eat together?"

Xuan Ye stared intently at the main hall and said in a deep voice, "I finished eating a long time ago, and I'm full of anger!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Just as Yi Luo was about to ask Shen Yuan another question, he saw that Shen Yuan had also turned and left.

He could only scratch his head speechlessly and stride into the hall.

Inside the bedchamber, Jiang Qingyan was sitting on a small couch, hissing and laughing, letting Lu Nian use precious bruise powder to massage the bruises on the back of her feet.
