Chapter 179 Something Happened

After leaving the alley, he saw Prince Xiao Qian standing beside the carriage.

When he saw Xinmeng coming out alone, he was neither surprised nor displeased. He just glanced at the carriage and signaled her to get on.

Xinmeng got into the car in a daze, and it took a long time before she came to her senses.

In the previous life, in order to help Xiao Yi ascend the throne, she inevitably had blood on her hands.But in this life, it was the first time for her to kill someone herself, so she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

After recovering, she felt Xiao Qian staring at the dagger in her hand, she subconsciously shrank her hand and hid the dagger in her sleeve.

"Is the Seventh Prince okay?" Xiao Qian asked.His tone was so calm that he couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood, as if he was just chatting with Xinmeng about family affairs.

"He was stabbed by a courtier." Xin Meng lowered her head, thinking that even if Xiao Yi didn't tell, Xiao Qian could find out, so she didn't intend to hide the truth.

"Miss Shen is self-defense. If the Seventh Prince wants to pursue this matter, I will definitely testify for you." Xiao Qian promised.

Xinmeng looked up at him in astonishment.He was so sure that she was defending herself, did he see it with his own eyes?She didn't know that just before she stepped out of the alley, Xiao Qian had already looked at her carefully.

The clothes are neat and not messy, but the lips are attractively red and even a little swollen.

Therefore, he knew at a glance what the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi had done to her.

And the bloody dagger made it easy for him to deduce that Xinmeng was coerced. In order not to be violated by the Seventh Prince, she stabbed Xiao Yi with the knife.

The short knife in Xinmeng's hand is small and exquisite, ornately decorated, and it is clearly tailor-made for women. Compared with the function of self-defense, it is more like a gift for flattery.

It is not easy to kill a person with such a short knife unless it is directly stabbing the heart or cutting off the main artery.Moreover, he could also guess that Xinmeng would not hit hard, and that Xiao Yi would at most suffer some physical pain, and he would definitely not have any fear of his life.

The carriage stopped slowly in front of the General's Mansion.Before getting out of the car, the prince Xiao Qian said meaningfully: "Miss Shen is frightened, she must remember to rest well, don't leave the root cause of the disease."

And handed over a paper bag: "Seeing Miss Shen's complexion is not good, I specially bought a box of rouge for Miss Shen, please accept it!"

"My daughter thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xin Meng took it respectfully, leaned over and backed out.

After entering the General's Mansion, she deliberately avoided other people and quietly returned to Fuyun Courtyard.

Usually at this time, the maids would wake up early, clean the yard, trim the flowers and plants, wipe the furniture...doing their duties step by step.But today is very strange, the courtyard is surprisingly quiet, and there is not even a servant girl in sight.

It's a pity that what happened last night and this morning exhausted Xinmeng's mind, she didn't realize how abnormal this situation was.

After entering the inner room, she hurriedly took off the blood-spattered skirt, rolled it up and threw it under the bed, and then changed into a set of clean underwear.She put the blood-stained dagger and the rouge given by the prince in the drawer under the dressing table.

As soon as she lay on the bed, Xinmeng was so tired that she fell asleep.

After this sleep, he slept until dusk.

After waking up, she lay on her back, looked at the pink and purple incense sticks, and said lazily: "Songchun, I'm thirsty, let me make some tea." For a long time, she didn't see Songchun's reply, nor did she see the fragrant tea served. .

Only then did Xinmeng realize that something was wrong, she got up, put on her embroidered shoes, fastened her skirt, and opened the door to go out.
