Chapter 433 Dirty Tricks

In less than an hour, Chu Qinqin arrived at the Princess's residence with two personal maids. After greeting, they sat down at Yan Li's beckoning.

After the maids served tea, Yan Li raised his hand to dismiss everyone: "I will talk to Miss Chu alone, you all go wait outside."

"Yes." Tianlai Novel Network

Chu Qinqin sat opposite Yan Li with a respectful smile on her face: "Congratulations to the Princess on being named the Crown Prince. I came here wisely today and didn't have time to prepare a gift. I will definitely select one for the Princess another day-"

"Gifts are not important." Yan Li waved his hand with an indifferent expression on his face, "I don't lack anything, so you don't need to worry about it."

Chu Qinqin nodded: "Yes."

"I invited you today. Come here, I have something important to ask you. "

Chu Qinqin seemed to have guessed it long ago: "The princess wants to ask about Xuan Xuan and the second prince?"

Yan Li nodded: "Tell me the details."

"Yes." Chu Qinqin agreed, with a bit of sarcasm on her face, "Years ago, the princess went out to handle a case. I don't know who bewitched the second prince. He took advantage of the princess' absence in the imperial city and wanted to marry Xuan Xuan, the daughter of the general's mansion, to improve his situation. But General Xuan never considered marrying his daughter to the prince, so he rejected him without hesitation. "

" The second prince was unwilling to give up, so he invited several noble sons to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet at Xuan's house. There were also several noble ladies at the time, but the men and women were separated and not together at all. "

"Later, a maid shouted that her daughter had fallen into the water. At that time, Xuan Xuan was the closest, and she was the only one who had practiced martial arts since childhood and had a strong body, so she went down to save her without hesitation. Who knew that as soon as she entered the water, the maid ran away. "

"In the end, the fact became that the second prince rescued Xuan Xuan who fell into the water. What's even more ridiculous is that those noble sons gathered at the lake at some point, shouting in unison that the hero saved the beauty , let Xuan Xuan pledge herself to him. "

Yan Li lowered his eyes and thought deeply: "So, the person who fell into the water was not Xuan Xuan?"

"Xuan Xuan is so good at swimming and has practiced martial arts since she was a child. How could she fall into the water for no reason?" Chu Qinqin snorted coldly, "The person who fell into the water was not a noble lady at all, but the second prince. He arranged for the maid to shout at the lakeside in advance, and shouted when there were not many people at the lakeside, in order to let Xuan Xuan go into the water to save people. That little trick was so clumsy and ridiculous. "

The plum blossom viewing banquet was held at the Xuan family. If any distinguished guest got into trouble at the Xuan family, they would not be able to explain to others.

And Xuan Xuan practiced martial arts, could swim, and had a strong body.

There were not many people at the lakeside when the incident happened, so the rescue could not be delayed.

All of this was carefully designed.

Although it looked full of loopholes, even if she knew that she was calculated by someone, under normal circumstances, due to the rules of not touching men and women, this plot of saving people from the water has already made the woman innocent.

If it were an ordinary noblewoman, wouldn't she have obeyed obediently out of shame and anger?

However, Xuan Xuan was not an ordinary woman.

When she found herself being carried ashore by force, she knew she was being plotted against. She pretended to be frightened and hurriedly pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve for self-defense and stabbed it into Yan Chen's abdomen.

When Yan Chen let go of her hand in pain, she hurriedly ran out, shouting that someone was molesting her.

This farce soon alarmed General Xuan and Xuan Nanfeng and his son.

When they asked about the cause and effect, Yan Chen insisted that he heard someone shouting for help, so he hurriedly jumped into the lake, but he didn't expect that the person who fell into the water was the young lady of the Xuan family.

And Xuan Xuan's words were naturally the same as his. She also heard someone shouting for help, and the maid clearly said that it was her young lady who fell into the water, so she went down to save her, but she was taken advantage of by the lecher.

The lake water in winter was so cold and piercingly cold that Xuan Xuan fainted after saying a few words.

General Xuan was furious and immediately ordered people to find the maid who cried for help, but the maid had disappeared long ago. Where could they find her?

Yan Chen was injured in the abdomen and her face was very pale. She had to be taken back by the guards to treat her injuries. Before leaving, he solemnly promised: "This king will definitely be responsible for Miss Xuan."

General Xuan ignored him and asked Madam Xuan to ask the noble ladies who were enjoying the flowers with Xuan Xuan. Chu Qinqin was also there at the time.

After they said in unison that there was indeed a maid crying for help, Xuan Xuan hurriedly jumped into the lake to save her.

General Xuan and his wife understood that their daughter was being plotted against, and the person who was plotting was most likely the second prince Yan Chen.

They knew what the second prince's purpose was.

They would never accept this loss, and they would never let him get what he wanted.

Xuan Xuan said resolutely that even if she didn't marry in this life, she would never marry the second prince. If anyone dared to force her to marry, she would keep hitting the wall to death.

"That's how it is." Chu Qinqin took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Although the Xuan family is a family of military generals, they are not as calculating as the powerful ministers, but they are not stupid. How could they not understand the conspiracy?"

Yan Li's eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "Is Xuan Xuan feeling better?"

"Nothing serious." Chu Qinqin said, "She didn't stay in the lake for a long time, and her health was good to begin with. Although she had some cold air in her body, Madam Xuan ordered people to cook ginger soup for her to drive away the cold. She stayed in bed for a few days and took a few pills to recuperate and she was fine."

Yan Li hummed.

"It's true that the second prince was injured in the abdomen and lay down for a long time." Chu Qinqin said, her expression slightly calm, "After the incident, General Xuan took the initiative to go to the palace to plead guilty, saying that Xuan Xuan stabbed the second prince while she lost her mind. The emperor and the empress were shocked when they heard about this, and quickly asked about the cause and effect, and then arranged for the imperial physician to diagnose Xuan Xuan's pulse and comfort General Xuan. The matter just passed without any further investigation into Xuan Xuan's stabbing of the prince. "

Yan Li's expression was indifferent: "What tricks have the Emperor and the Queen not seen in their lives? This mere trick is indeed ridiculously clumsy."

As long as you understand the cause and effect, what else is there that you don’t understand?

We were enjoying the flower appreciation, but suddenly someone fell into the water. The maid who called for help disappeared afterwards, which means that this matter was a conspiracy.

What she said was that the young lady fell into the water. After Xuan Xuan jumped in to save people, she was picked up by a man. This incident sounded like a plan.

What's more, Yan Chen originally wanted to marry Xuan Xuan. Isn't this obvious?

In a panic, Xuan Xuan thought she had met a bad guy and accidentally stabbed the prince - whether it was an accidental stabbing or a deliberate stabbing, it doesn't matter.

As General Xuan, so what if Xuan Xuan deliberately stabbed the prince?

Can he still punish General Xuan?

Yan Chen calculated the situation first and deserved to be stabbed.

"Although the second prince suffered a loss, Xuan Xuan's reputation was damaged and he suffered a lot of rumors." Chu Qinqin's expression was slightly cold, "Those young princes have been urging Xuan Xuan to marry the second prince, saying that they already have If she doesn't marry the second prince through a skin-to-skin relationship, no other man will be willing to marry her in the future. Some people say that Xuan Xuan deliberately fell into the water and threw herself into his arms. The second prince was willing to marry her, but she was trying to get her and put on airs. In short, she had all sorts of unpleasant things to say. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Qinqin's face gradually turned ugly: "What's even more chilling is that some noble women in the imperial capital are also gossiping. I really don't understand why we, the same women, can't work together to resist those bad and dirty men, but instead want to Are you making things difficult for yourself?”
