The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 916 - 500: Palace Schemes, Another Incident (First Release)
Bai Mowan’s face looked extremely unsightly.
A mere Noble dared to be so dismissive towards her.
Once she truly turns the tables, she will make sure that those who look down on her and kick her when she’s down will not die a good death!
Her eyes flickered slightly.
In the courtyard, a Palace Attendant rushed over, face full of anxiety, "Mistress, something terrible has happened, Qing Yan jumped into the lake!"
Bai Mowan sneered secretly.
Just An Ning.
She wants to see how long this woman can remain arrogant.
Bai Mowan’s face instantly showed an urgent expression, and she hurried to the lakeside with the Palace Attendant.
At this moment, many people were already gathered at the lakeside, watching.
The concubines in the harem had nothing to do, and upon hearing that something big happened in the palace, they all came out to watch the spectacle.
Bai Mowan took a long time to squeeze into the crowd.
Unlike before, when she arrived, everyone automatically avoided her.
She went in and saw Qing Yan being rescued from the lake, her body trembling uncontrollably, crying continuously.
"What happened?" Bai Mowan asked.
Qing Yan, upon seeing her mistress, hurriedly crawled up from the ground and knelt in front of Bai Mowan, "Mistress, this servant doesn’t want to live, doesn’t want to live..."
"Why not live well, suddenly?" Bai Mowan asked sharply, pretending it was not part of her scheme.
At this time, An Ning also came out of Xiaoxiang Palace.
She wasn’t here to join the excitement; she wasn’t interested in the drama of the harem.
These days, many concubines in the harem tried to win her favor with various pretexts, but she turned them all away.
Indeed, gifts cannot be accepted.
Soon they will realize that it is futile to please her.
She came here because she heard a Palace Attendant report that Zhang Wenhe and Bai Mowan’s palace maid Qing Yan had a conflict, and now Qing Yan was being dramatic about wanting to die.
She came to see if she died?
Turns out she didn’t.
An Ning looked coldly at Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan naturally noticed An Ning’s arrival.
She signaled Qing Yan with her eyes.
Qing Yan immediately started crying again, "Today, I was ordered by Mistress to fetch new quilts from the inner courtyard. Just as I left Qingling Courtyard, I saw him..."
Qing Yan pointed at Zhang Wenhe standing aside.
Zhang Wenhe, now soaking wet, must have been the one who jumped into the lake to rescue Qing Yan.
Seeing Zhang Wenhe, Qing Yan started sobbing again.
"Qing Yan, speak clearly, I will definitely seek justice for you!" Bai Mowan said firmly.
Qing Yan nodded, then gathered the courage to say, "I was anxious at the time and walked quickly, having heard that past a certain hour, the inner courtyard would no longer distribute quilts. Because of my haste, I accidentally twisted my ankle and thought I would fall to the ground. Unexpectedly, he reached out to support me. I wanted to thank him, but the next moment he, he, he... hugged me tightly in his arms and humiliated me. Unable to endure the disgrace, I chose to throw myself into the lake, but he rescued me, and while rescuing me, he kept touching my body..."
Her words became increasingly shameful.
Qing Yan got up and wanted to jump into the lake again.
Bai Mowan hurriedly ordered people to stop her.
She was also furious.
She turned her head and glared at Zhang Wenhe, "Bold servant, under broad daylight, how dare you commit such despicable acts, thinking that being someone by the Empress’s side excuses you from the law?!"
An Ning’s eyes tightened.
Without a doubt, Bai Mowan could not let go of Mo Kun’s death, and now she is deliberately trying to retaliate.
It has to be acknowledged that Bai Mowan is indeed cunning.
She knows well that there should be no outside men in the harem, and Zhang Wenhe’s presence is already against the rules, but with Xiao Jinxing’s tacit permission, Bai Mowan couldn’t do anything. However, if something happened to Zhang Wenhe, especially something absolutely intolerable within the harem, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t be able to play favorites.
"And yet the concubine dares scold so brazenly and disregards rules knowing this is one of mine?!" An Ning exclaimed with momentum.
Deliberately emphasizing the word "concubine."
It was meant to provoke Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan gritted her teeth.
"I only hope the Empress can see justice for me and for my palace maid." Bai Mowan feigned respect.
"Does the Empress need a concubine to teach her how to handle matters?!" An Ning mocked coldly.
Before so many concubines, not leaving Bai Mowan any dignity.
In the past, it was she reprimanding other concubines, she was high above.
Now she was being humiliated by An Ning like this.
Bai Mowan, due to her status, dared not offend An Ning, and despite feeling wronged, although respectful on the surface, apologized, "It is my ignorance of the rules, and I ask for the Empress’s punishment."
Internally boiling with impatience to the extreme.
An Ning gave Bai Mowan a fleeting glance, about to speak when.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
A loud voice rang. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Bai Mowan’s face sank slightly.
Never stepping into the harem, Xiao Jinxing arrives promptly whenever An Ning is present and something even slightly happens!
She gritted her teeth and knelt along with all the concubines.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jinxing walked in front of everyone.
"Stand." A voice deep, resonant, and charismatic.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
All concubines rose.
As they rose, many concubines couldn’t help but steal a glance at the Emperor.
Most of the concubines who entered the palace hadn’t seen the Emperor even once.
And with one glance, all the concubines were overjoyed.
They’d long heard of the Emperor’s extraordinary air, towering like jade, and outwardly graceful.
Today, seeing him exceed their best imaginations.
Uncontainable affection, surging constantly.
Xiao Jinxing seemed to notice the concubines’ stares.
Frowned, showed displeasure.
Concubines sensing the Emperor’s unhappiness immediately withdrew their gaze.
Withdrawing their gaze, they couldn’t help but delight.
Even in anger, the Emperor still that handsome.
"All gathered here, what’s going on?" Xiao Jinxing asked, tone stern.
An Ning remained calm, bowed, and said, "Replying to the Emperor, it’s a misunderstanding."
"Your Majesty, it’s not a misunderstanding." Bai Mowan suddenly spoke.
An Ning eyed Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan directly knelt on the ground, "Please, Your Majesty, do justice for me."
"Within the harem is the Empress’s domain, it’s up to the Empress’s decision, I’m just passing through, not here to administer justice for anyone!" Xiao Jinxing remarked indifferently.
Bai Mowan gritted her teeth.
Xiao Jinxing’s favoritism towards An Ning has become so blatantly obvious!
Not caring about face anymore.
Before so many concubines, she lay kneeling on the ground, humbled like never before, yet Xiao Jinxing failed to accord her the deserved respect!
An Ning hadn’t expected this either, Xiao Jinxing would give her full authority.
Could it be that Xiao Jinxing truly held no feelings for Bai Mowan?
No time now to ponder Xiao Jinxing’s intentions, saving Zhang Wenhe is the priority!
An Ning’s gaze shifted, she asked, "Zhang Wenhe, what exactly happened just now?!"
