Chapter 259 Two Slaps

Emperor Yangan was confused: "What on earth is going on?"

"That day I came to Dongyuan on the order of my father. Unfortunately, there was a flood in the Yellow River. It was a tense moment and it was not appropriate for me to come to disturb the emperor. But to show my sincerity to Dongyuan, I, Rakshasa, also wanted to To do something for the emperor, at this moment I met Princess Wei..."

When he said this, Ye Beichen's eyes obviously stayed on Xu Ruqing for a while, so short that almost no one noticed.

Su Yichen saw everything, and the face behind the mask couldn't help but become gloomy.

"At that time, Princess Wei was worried about the flood. I had a great conversation with her and we hit it off, and we exchanged disaster relief strategies. However, I felt ashamed that my academic skills were not as good as those of the princess. She came up with all the ideas alone. I I am only responsible for organizing and copying.”

"Afterwards, I gave the copied disaster relief strategy and drawings to the concubine, hoping that she would hand them to the princess on my behalf. Unexpectedly, the concubine also came up with a disaster relief strategy. Her maid accidentally put the two pieces of paper in the wrong place. , mistakenly gave his share to the princess, and the princess's share was dedicated to the emperor."

After saying that, Ye Beichen glanced at Xu Ruqing again, the meaning conveyed in his eyes was self-evident.

"Princess Wei, is what the second prince Rakshasa said true?"

Xu Ruqing lowered his eyes and nodded immediately: "Back to the emperor, what the second prince said is true. It is true."

Emperor Yan Qian's eyes were full of exploration and hesitation.

The reversal came too suddenly. Let's not talk about the relationship between Rakshasa and Gaochang. According to his observations at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last time, Xu Ruqing, King Wei and that night owl seemed to know each other, and now they are also related to Rakshasa's two. The prince was also related, which made him have to think more.

Emperor Yan Qian saw through it but did not tell him, but he was extremely disappointed with Chu Yu in his heart. "I see. If you hadn't told the truth in time, I would have thought that something as obscene as stealing would have happened in Prince Wei's house, which has always been strict in rules."

"How could it be possible? His Royal Highness the King of Wei is brave and good at fighting. He is Dongyuan's patron saint with great military exploits. His spouse should also be of good character and know etiquette, justice and shame. There is no way he would make such a joke."

"Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up now, from now on, Princess Wei and Concubine Chu will jointly supervise the construction. If there is any discrepancy, I will only ask you two."

Although Xu Ruqing is extremely reluctant to work with Chu Yu, it is not appropriate to continue arguing now. No matter what is right or wrong in the end, it will always be the shame of the Wei Palace.

Her purpose today is to regain the sovereignty of the construction. The drawings that Chu Yu stole were full of flaws. If the construction was carried out according to the original plan, something might go wrong, so Xu Ruqing did not pursue it further: "I obey the decree."

"Chu Yu will do his best to assist the prince and the princess to jointly deal with the flood disaster and share the emperor's worries."

Emperor Yangan tiredly announced his resignation.

When they were almost gone, Ye Beichen came to Xu Ruqing's side and bowed like a gentleman: "Thank you very much, Princess Wei, for your generosity. This prince will definitely repay you in the future."

Xu Ruqing nodded and said nothing more.

She habitually came behind Su Yichen to push the wheelchair, but she didn't push it.

Just when she was wondering if the wheel was stuck, she heard the man's deep and resentful voice: "We hit it off immediately and had a great conversation..."

Xu Ruqing suddenly felt something was wrong.

"I didn't know that the princess was so free. I just didn't notice her for a moment and met another man."

For some reason, Xu Ruqing felt guilty after being stared at: "No way, he and I just met by chance..."

"You hit it off and are very happy when we meet by chance? Why don't you see the princess treating me like this..." Suddenly Su Yichen's eyes narrowed dangerously: "I finally understand, you are very happy with other men, and I am the same everywhere. To contradict, to sing the opposite, right?”

"Why are the words so ugly, and you believe other people's lies?" "Then tell me, how did you meet Na Ye Beichen?"

"This... it's a long story. Anyway, he and I are not what you think." Xu Ruqing avoided Su Yichen's gaze. She didn't know where to start talking about her acquaintance with Ye Beichen.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Su Yichen got angry and stopped asking.

Xu Ruqing tried to push it, but the wheelchair still didn't move at all.

Su Yichen snorted arrogantly, then tilted his head slightly: "Xuan Ming."

Xuan Ming understood, stepped forward and took the wheelchair from Xu Ruqing's hand, nodded to her, and then the master and servant left.

Xu Ruqing stared at the departing figure with wide eyes.

Hey, what a stingy man!

Xu Ruqing let out a deep breath and had no choice but to go back alone.

I didn't expect that as soon as I walked out of the hall, I met Chu Yu who was also going back to his house.

As soon as Chu Yu saw Xu Ruqing, she was like a mouse and a cat. She deliberately avoided Xu Ruqing's gaze, but she was stopped by Xu Ruqing before she had gone far.

"You, why are you stopping me..."

"Snapped!"

Before Chu Yu could finish her words, a firm slap fell on her face.

Chu Yu covered half of his red and swollen face, eyes full of disbelief: "How dare you hit me!"

"Pah!" As soon as Chu Yu finished speaking, Xu Ruqing raised her hand and slapped her again.

"Whether I dare or not, does Concubine Chu know it now?"

It can be said that Xu Ruqing used enough force in this slap. Clear fingerprints quickly appeared on both sides of Chu Yu's cheeks after being slapped to the ground, and a trace of bright red oozed from the corners of her mouth.

She raised her head and looked up at Xu Ruqing, her eyes filled with unabashed hatred: "Why can you get everything I want without any effort? I just want the prince to look at me more. I have What's wrong."

"It seems that not only do you have no regrets, but you also know that you have committed the crime and are obsessed with it. You are wrong in not caring about yourself and putting the lives of the people aside for your own selfish desires. You are even more wrong in not being self-aware and treating people who shouldn't be considered. You have thoughts that you shouldn't have." Xu Ruqing's eyes were cold, showing a domineering attitude of self-pity and self-anger: "You should be lucky, if I hadn't been willing to betray the second prince Rakshasa today to save face, otherwise you would have suffered more than just one slap. So simple.”

Chu Yu was so angry that she covered her face with one hand, and the waves in her chest rose and fell violently.

Xu Ruqing came to Chu Yu and knelt down in front of her, holding her slightly pink chin with one hand: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you'd better keep your tail between your legs, this is Dongyuan, not you far away Thousands of miles away in Gaochang, Beichen will protect you today, but I can't say for sure in the future."

Xu Ruqing shook off Chu Yu's chin. Her eyes were still cold and indifferent. She stopped looking at Chu Yu and left.

Chu Yu got up from the ground not long after Xu Ruqing left. These two slaps made her dizzy, and even her walking steps seemed unsteady.

The palace maids who came and went covered their mouths and whispered. Seeing this, Chu Yu quickly left the palace with a look of embarrassment.
