Chapter 1432: Concubine Xuan is not qualified, so am I qualified?
Could it be that this utterly audacious lunatic who committed such a shameful act in the palace was actually His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?!
Ruoji reacted very quickly. The moment the princess curiously looked over, he pulled her into his arms, covered her eyes tightly with his hands, and coaxed her in a low voice, "Princess, don't look at this."
Baharguli, who was standing beside the eldest princess, had a face as pale as paper, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction of the pavilion, filled with horror and disbelief.
Your Majesty...
How could the prince, who was like a god in her mind, do such a shameful thing with someone here?
These people must have seen it wrong, that is definitely not the prince!
Princess Yun'an was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her carefully drawn eyebrows were almost distorted.
Today, she was determined to find a dignified and virtuous lady from a noble family to be the wife of her starling, but she didn't expect to come across such a dirty thing.
If that man was really a mynah bird... she couldn't even imagine it!
no, I can not.
A person as upright and honest as Myna would never do such a thing.
Both Baharguli and Princess Yun'an still had a last glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that the man being dragged out was not Prince Jin.
However, this last glimmer of hope was completely shattered when the guards forcibly dragged the man and woman out of the pavilion and pinned them down in front of everyone...
The man's hair was askew, and the collar of his princely attire was disheveled, revealing his undergarment. His gentle, handsome face was now flushed, his eyes unfocused.
If it wasn't Prince Jin Nangong Xuanche, then who else could it be...
The palace maid next to him, with disheveled clothes, disheveled hair and shaking like a sieve, was Bingqiao from Yongshou Palace.
"It's really His Royal Highness Prince Jin!"
"God..."
"This... this is outrageous!"
"I recognize this maid. She's Bingqiao, who works for the Imperial Concubine. She was just delivering ice to her. How come she's with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"
"..."
Suddenly, there was an uncontrollable cry of surprise from the crowd.
The ladies and young ladies who had previously maintained a calm appearance could no longer hold back, and whispers quickly spread.
Everyone looked at Prince Jin and Bing Qiao with eyes filled with incredible shock, contempt, and a hint of hidden excitement...
The royal lotus viewing banquet turned into such a shocking scandal!
When Shen Zhinian's gaze fell on the face of the palace maid who was pressed to the ground and trembling, his heart was also shocked.
Ice chocolate?
It turned out to be someone from her Yongshou Palace!
Did Bingqiao have the intention of getting close to you when she came to give you ice just now?
Or had she been secretly communicating with the King of Jin even earlier?
Or... is there some hidden secret behind this that I haven't noticed yet?
Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Zhinian's mind, making her eyes even colder.
At the same time, the last bit of hope in Baharguli and Princess Yun'an's hearts also completely disappeared...
Baharguli bit her lower lip so hard that she could almost taste the blood.
She could never accept that the prince, who was so noble in her heart, would lower himself to do such a shameful thing with a humble palace maid in broad daylight!
This is even more painful to her than killing her!
Princess Yun'an felt dizzy before her eyes, and her face felt burning, as if she had been slapped countless times in public...
The virtuous eighth sister-in-law she had hoped for turned into a bubble in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by such a scandal that brought shame to the royal family!
Just as the whole place was in uproar and everyone was thinking different things, the evil heat in Prince Jin's body, who was held down by the guards, finally receded like a tide, and his mind suddenly became clear.
He saw clearly his disheveled appearance, the crowd of people around him, and their gazes, some of them shocked, some contemptuous, and some inquiring...
Finally, Prince Jin met Shen Zhinian's cold eyes.
King Jin was no fool, he immediately realized that he had been tricked!
Unlike when he deliberately joined the Shen family, this time, he was really being plotted against!
And it happened in public, in front of the Imperial Concubine...
Prince Jin's heart instantly surged with rage, shame, and a hint of embarrassment that he himself was unwilling to admit...
How could he, the Prince of Jin, Nangong Xuanche, actually fall for such a despicable trick?!
Especially... in front of the Imperial Concubine...
This realization made his chest feel uncomfortable...
Princess Yun'an shook off the hand of the maid beside her, staggered forward two steps, pointed her slender jade finger at Bingqiao, who was shaking on the ground, and said in a voice filled with extreme anger: "Myna has always been well-behaved and polite. How could he do such a ridiculous thing for no reason!"
Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were like poison as she fiercely glanced at Bing Qiao and then turned to Shen Zhinian.
"This lowly servant is from Yongshou Palace. She must have resorted to some despicable and despicable trick to deliberately seduce and ruin my reputation!"
Princess Yun'an even thought that perhaps the Imperial Noble Consort had instigated this. What deep hatred did Bage have against her? She actually wanted to destroy Bage!
But her remaining rationality told Princess Yun'an that she could not bear the consequences of accusing the deputy queen without any evidence.
Princess Yun'an took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and shouted to Shen Zhinian, "Royal Consort, you are in charge of the six palaces, and now your maid has the audacity to seduce the prince in broad daylight and commit such a shameful act!"
"Shouldn't you give an explanation to Myna, the royal family, and everyone present here?!"
She deliberately emphasized the accusations of "someone from Yongshou Palace" and "seducing the prince", and her eyes were fixed on Shen Zhinian's face, trying to find a trace of guilt or flaw in him.
These words not only pointed the finger at the lax rules of Yongshou Palace, but also placed Prince Jin in the position of victim. Furthermore, they placed the entire burden of handling the matter on Shen Zhinian's shoulders.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Zhinian, waiting for her response.
Before Shen Zhinian could say anything, Concubine Xuan, standing beside her, was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She stepped forward and said, "Princess Yun'an, you are wrong!"
"The matter hasn't been fully investigated yet. How can you insist that Bingqiao seduced you? How do you know if someone else is using their status to intimidate and coerce you?"
Her eyes swept over the shivering Bingqiao on the ground, and with a bit of sympathy as a fellow woman, she said, "A girl's innocence is so important. If Bingqiao was really forced, wouldn't your words drive her to death?!"
Princess Yun'an was filled with anger and had no place to vent it. Seeing that Concubine Xuan dared to refute her in public, she immediately turned her spearhead on her and shouted at her: "Who the hell do you think you are!"
"You are just an ordinary concubine, and you are not qualified to give me orders? You have no right to speak here!"
Shen Zhinian's icy voice suddenly rang out, and with a strong sense of oppression in her eyes, she looked at Princess Yun'an: "If Concubine Xuan doesn't qualify, then do I have the qualifications?!"
She walked forward slowly, her whole body dignified, and her tone seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force: "Yun An, this is the imperial palace, not a place where you can make noise and speak without restraint!"
