The eyebrows on her little face were slightly wrinkled, and the worry in her eyes was palpable.
If they hadn't really seen Xi Ying appear alone in the Forest of Wanhe, the Zhao brothers who saw Murong Xiyu's performance would probably have thought that Murong Xiyu really didn't do anything.
"I told you." Xi Ying dodged Murong Xiyu's hand that was about to put her arm around her, "It's you."
"And His Royal Highness, they can also testify for me. They all saw that it was you who beat me." Xi Ying brought the topic to Zhao Yifan and others.
Prime Minister Murong's eyes fell on Zhao Yifan, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, this kind of thing is not a joke..."
"I'm not kidding." Zhao Yifan stared at Xi Ying expressionlessly and said word by word: "We did see the Fourth Miss whipping Murong Yuan and having several slaves throw her into the Forest of Wanhe."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Murong Xiyu trembled with fright and quickly knelt down towards Zhao Yifan.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know if Xiyu has offended His Highness the Crown Prince in any way.
If His Highness the Crown Prince feels that Xiyu has not done well in any way, Xiyu can change it.
But Your Highness the Crown Prince, you must not make such remarks..."
"So, you think this prince is lying?" Zhao Yifan snorted coldly, full of momentum.
At the same time, he glanced at Xi Ying with his peripheral vision.
His momentum not only pressed towards Murong Xiyu who was kneeling on the ground, but also leaked some pressure towards Xi Ying.
Murong Xiyu was so overwhelmed by this momentum that she fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
But what about Xi Ying
Nothing happened!
Not only did he not, but he also watched Murong Xiyu's performance with great interest.
Zhao Yifan's eyebrows twitched, and his thoughts became more determined.
This Murong Yuan is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface.
"This is the Prime Minister's family matter. Let the Prime Minister handle it himself." After saying that, Zhao Yifan left the Prime Minister's Mansion with the other three people.
"This..." Prime Minister Murong glanced at Murong Xiyu who was lying on the ground, and then at Xi Ying who still had tears in her eyes.
"Yuan'er, you go back to your room and rest first. A doctor will come to see you soon." He first arranged for Xi Ying.
Then he said to Murong Xiyu: "Xiyu, how could you do such a thing? Fortunately, your sister is fine. I will punish you by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, without eating or drinking, and chanting sutras for your sister." Chant the Buddha’s name!”
This penalty is really very low.
After all, Xi Ying almost died.
But Xi Ying didn't put forward any opinions at all.
She could roughly guess that the heroine should be Murong Xiyu.
In this case, it is normal for Murong Xiyu to only receive such a small amount of punishment due to the protagonist's aura of protection.
"Then daddy, I'm going back to my room first. I need to get the doctor over quickly!" Xi Ying waved to Prime Minister Murong and left.
Prime Minister Murong looked at Murong Xiyu who was still lying on the ground and sighed heavily.
"Son, I know you are envious of your sister's engagement with the Crown Prince, but haven't I already told you
The emperor is already considering breaking off the engagement. Sooner or later, this marriage will fall on you.
But now that you have done such a thing, and His Highness has seen it, what do you think your impression in His Highness's mind has become? "
"Dad... my daughter realizes her mistake..." Murong Xiyu sobbed.
She raised her head, her beautiful face covered with tears, "I also ask dad to help his daughter fulfill her wish."
