The two of them had just walked out of the room when they saw wangfei Xuan walking leisurely over. When they saw the two of them, their expressions were calm and grave.
"Princess Consort Xuan, why have you come?" Shang Yiqing went up to her and warmly held her hand, "I should have gone out to meet you. How could I have let you come all the way here?"
Princess Xuan smiled faintly and shifted her gaze to Xiao Tianyi. She said, "I've come to look for Lady Ying Ying. There are some things I wish to tell her."
Although she knew that she was innocent after what had happened yesterday, she still felt a bit guilty when facing Princess Xuan. She didn't dare look directly into her eyes, but only forced a smile, "Since Princess Xuan is looking for me, then let's find a place to talk."
Princess Xuan nodded. "Alright."
Her intuition told Shang Yiqing that wangfei must have found out something, because she saw that wangfei's expression when looking at Ying Ying was quite different.
"How about this, let's go to the garden and sit there and chat and admire the flowers, how great that would be."
"No need, let's talk in the room. There are some things I don't want others to hear." Princess Xuan had changed from her usual gentle attitude and her tone was a bit cold.
"Alright, let's go back to the room and talk."
Princess Xuan glanced coldly at Ying Ying before she could settle down. She suddenly spoke up, "You still have some looks left. No wonder my prince likes you."
"It's not like that …" Ying Ying hurriedly tried to defend herself.
Princess Xuan sneered, "How can it not be like this? I saw with my own eyes that King Xuan was waiting for you in front of the Xiao manor's entrance, and then you guys came to the Rong manor together.
Ying Ying couldn't help but explain, "It's like this. Yesterday, King Xuan sent me home. His horse's hooves were injured along the way, so my brother lent it to him." "Don't misunderstand!"
Princess Xuan sighed as she shook her head, "I don't want to misunderstand either. I can see all of this clearly. Teach me how to calm my heart down."
"Princess Consort Xuan, you're thinking too much. Although Ying Ying isn't married yet, she definitely won't like King Xuan." Shang Yiqing saw that the situation was not looking good and quickly advised.
"There's no need for you to say too much, Consort Rong. I know best what sort of temperament my prince has." After Princess Xuan finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Ying Ying, "If you hadn't lent your horse to my prince, I wouldn't have discovered that the prince was fond of you. Last night, when the prince returned, he still had the scent of another woman on him.
"I …" Ying Ying stammered, unable to speak. Whenever she thought of the events that happened last night, she would feel extremely embarrassed.
"Am I right?" "Even if my prince hadn't taken a fancy to her, I'm afraid she would've taken a fancy to my prince long ago."
Hearing Princess Xuan's words, Shang Yiqing's fighting spirit was roused. She said unhappily, "Princess Xuan, please don't wrongly accuse a good person before this matter is made clear."
Princess Xuan laughed mockingly. "I'm afraid both of us are responsible for this if a slap on the face is too heavy."
"How can you say that?" Shang Yiqing looked even more furious than Ying Ying.
"Am I wrong?" Princess Xuan pursed her lips and continued, "When the prince returned yesterday, he sighed deeply and didn't sleep all night. If it wasn't for you, who else could it be?"
Ying Ying couldn't even utter a word when she heard Princess Xuan's words. She was so angry that her cheeks turned red, and even her neck started to turn red.
Seeing this, Shang Yiqing was anxious and was about to say something when she heard Princess Consort Xuan say, "Actually, you don't have to stealthily grope around and do shady things. It's not like there weren't any princes who stayed at the brothel, it's all fair and square and never hid anything from me …"
How could Princess Xuan Ying speak of Ying like a brothel girl? No matter what had happened last night, she believed that Ying Ying would never do anything shameful, and furthermore, she clearly knew that the only person whom Ying Ying liked was Fang Zinan. This was an irrevocable fact that no one could change!
"A girl doesn't want to find someone to marry, but is willing to hook up with a married man. What a floating woman …" The more Wangfei spoke, the more unpleasant her words became.
Shang Yiqing felt her heart clogging up as she felt an uncontrollable anger build up in her chest. She shouted angrily, "Enough!"
This was an infuriated shout. It was eight degrees higher than usual, sharp and piercing. It startled not only Princess Xuan, but Ying Ying as well.
Princess Xuan looked at Shang Yiqing in shock and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm very angry right now!" Shang Yiqing stood up abruptly and glared at Princess Xuan in exasperation. "What you said just now was too unpleasant to listen to!"
"Are my words unpleasant to hear? I think what she did was even more shameful! " Princess Xuan was not surprised by Shang Yiqing's demeanor; instead, she faced him head-on.
"What evidence do you have to prove what you saw? Wasn't it today that he saw King Xuan bringing a horse to the Xiao manor? Did you see them together, or what? "
Princess Xuan was rendered speechless by her question. She paused and then lowered her voice as well, "Even if it didn't happen, it doesn't mean that she and my prince aren't having an affair?"
Shang Yiqing smirked, "Do you think your master loves everyone and has seen flowers blooming? Don't think that just because you're a girl you're willing to get involved with your prince! Why didn't you cause trouble with your prince when he went to the brothel? But now, you've come to my house to bully people! Such a thing is not allowed to happen here! "
Princess Xuan's face alternated between red and white as she spoke. She was dazed for a moment before speaking, "The reason my prince went up to the brothel was because he had the favor of a woman. Even if he had gone to the brothel, he would still tell me!"
"What is this?" My Prince doesn't even go to such a beautiful place! You don't have to say that in front of me! " Shang Yiqing's words were merciless, leaving a wangfei Xuan gaping in shock.
Shang Yiqing spat out those words before looking at Ying Ying who was on the verge of tears. Unable to bear it any longer, she turned to Ying Ying and said, "Ying Ying, don't cry. It's not your fault. Why are you crying? "Answer me honestly now, have you ever done the unsightly thing that wangfei Xuan says?"
"No!" I, Xiao Tian Ying, swear to the heavens that I have never done anything like this before! "
Shang Yiqing turned to look at Princess Xuan once more. "Did you hear that? It's impossible for Ying Ying to do such a thing!"
"You two are friends, of course you'll protect her. Even if she does something dishonorable, would you still speak of it in front of me?"
