Chapter 327 Xier really can’t drink alcohol, and she still says she’s not drunk?
Wu Hao hugged Lu Sisi tightly and prepared to leave the pavilion because the fragrance here was too strong.
Chu Zixi was standing outside. When she saw Wu Hao coming out holding Lu Sisi, she immediately used a silver needle to force him to return to the pavilion.
After several confrontations, Wu Hao's consciousness gradually became blurred. Wu Hao hugged Lu Sisi tightly, trying his best to maintain the last bit of consciousness, and said: "Princess Zhaoyang, why do you keep pressing me like this?"
"This princess is pressing me step by step? How ridiculous! If she had no ill intentions, how could she be hurt?"
Wu Hao certainly knew what kind of incense was lit in the pavilion. He shook his head helplessly, trying desperately to retain the last bit of rationality, "Princess Zhaoyang, my cousin has always been willful and reckless. It is indeed her fault that she offended the princess. Please be magnanimous and let her go."
"Hmph! What qualifications do you have to preach to this princess? If your martial arts skills were not inferior to mine today, would your conspiracy have succeeded?"
Lu Sisi kept tearing her clothes, muttering, "Cousin, it's so hot... I can't stand it anymore..."
Wu Hao swallowed his saliva, "Cousin, don't move..."
"Haha, this is what it means when a man is in love and a woman is interested. In this case, I will grant your blessing. Enjoy it!"
Lu Sisi's body kept rubbing against Wu Hao. The soft touch made Wu Hao's breathing gradually become rapid. His reason was gradually overwhelmed by desire, and his eyes became blurred.
Seeing this scene, Chu Zixi walked down the rockery without looking back, and snorted in her heart: "Humph, plotting against me? Lu Sisi, you are really courting death!"
After a while, unspeakable sounds came from the pavilion, making people blush.
After Chu Zixi came down, she looked around for Xiaocui and Xiaolu, but there was no trace of them. Her eyes narrowed slightly. At this time, Yu Er suddenly appeared beside her and whispered, "Master, Xiaocui and Xiaolu are fine, they were just knocked unconscious. Yu San is watching them."
Hearing this, Chu Zixi felt relieved, but still asked, "Where are the people who knocked out Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu?"
Yu Er replied respectfully: "Don't worry, my master. They are two little eunuchs. They have been knocked unconscious by my subordinates. They are over there." As he spoke, he pointed to the bushes not far away.
Chu Zixi nodded, then whispered a few words to Yu Er, and Yu Er turned and left.
Then she walked over to Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu and patted their cheeks gently to wake them up.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu woke up slowly. After seeing Chu Zixi, they were still a little confused. Chu Zixi said a few words to them, and the two girls looked resentful.
However, at this moment, Princess Li came with a group of beautiful women in gorgeous clothes. When she looked at Chu Zixi, her eyes lit up and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Xi'er, why are you here alone? The bell for the palace banquet is about to ring, let's go to the table quickly." Princess Li walked forward quickly, took Chu Zixi's hand affectionately, and spoke with concern. Chu Zixi smiled gently and said softly, "Okay."
However, Lu Sisi's maid was panicked. Her eyes were wide open and her face was as pale as paper.
One of the maids, named Xiaocao, was usually very smart, but at this moment her voice was trembling with anxiety: "Princess Zhaoyang, where is our young lady? Isn't she with you?"
When Chu Zixi heard this, she paused slightly, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in her eyes.
She turned her head and looked at the maid coldly, her tone filled with reproach and sarcasm: "Your young lady is missing? Why don't you go look for her yourself but come to ask me?"
Xiao Cao was so scared that she almost cried, and quickly explained: "No, Princess, our lady clearly left with you..."
However, before she could finish her words, a subtle but clear sound suddenly came from behind the rockery not far away.
This sudden sound interrupted the tense and awkward conversation among the crowd, and everyone turned their eyes to the source of the sound.
"Hey, there seems to be some movement in the rockery over there?" A young lady dressed in gorgeous clothes and with exquisite makeup said softly, and then the ladies and young ladies around her also echoed and talked about it.
Chu Zixi frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind, but she quickly regained her composure and decisively ordered: "Come here, go check it out quickly."
Not long after, Yu Er hurried back and reported solemnly: "Princess, there is indeed a man and a woman hanging out in the pavilion on the rockery."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into deathly silence. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Chu Zixi in astonishment, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Chu Zixi narrowed her eyes slightly, with a sharp light flashing in them, revealing an unquestionable determination: "How dare you do such a despicable thing in the palace? It is really disrespectful. Bring those two down to this princess immediately!"
Following a chaotic sound of footsteps, Lu Sisi and Wu Hao, who should have been well-dressed and bright-looking, were now dragged in front of everyone by Yu Er with messy clothes, disheveled hair, and terrified faces.
When everyone looked closely, they couldn't help but gasp. It turned out to be Lu Sisi, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. For a moment, their contemptuous and disdainful looks pierced her like sharp swords.
Mrs. Lu stumbled over and said, "Sisi, what's going on? You are so confused!"
Lu Sisi's tears were like a flood that broke through the dam, continuously pouring out of her eyes and sliding down her pale cheeks.
She shook her head desperately, her voice trembling with despair: "Mother...it's not me, it's not me! You are wrong, it should be Princess Zhaoyang and another man..."
Before she finished speaking, Princess Li was furious and shouted, "Lu Sisi, how dare you confuse right and wrong and slander the princess here! You were fooling around with a man in the palace, and everyone saw it with their own eyes. How dare you blame Zhaoyang?"
Lu Sisi seemed to be hit on the head, and she stood there in a daze. She turned her head abruptly, and her eyes shot towards Chu Zixi like a knife, her eyes full of resentment and resentment: "It's you, you designed all this, right?"
Princess Li was furious and said, "Madam Lu, look at the good daughter you raised. How dare she do such a filthy thing in the palace and even slander Princess Zhaoyang?"
Madam Lu knelt on the ground trembling with fear, and said anxiously: "Princess Zhaoyang, Princess Li, please calm down, this may just be a misunderstanding..."
However, Princess Li refuted mercilessly: "Misunderstanding? Do you think everyone present is blind? The facts are in front of us, how can you, Madam Lu, just say it's a misunderstanding?"
At this moment, Chu Zixi stood quietly in the same place, like a fine sculpture, motionless. Her eyes were calm, staring at Lu Sisi's eyes expressionlessly.
At this moment, the air around them seemed to freeze, all eyes were focused on the two of them, and the whole scene was extremely tense and filled with gunpowder.
"Lu Sisi, you said that this princess framed you?" Chu Zixi raised the corners of her lips slightly, staring at Lu Sisi with a smile, but her eyes were as cold as ice, chilling. Her voice was clear and pleasant, unwavering, like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts. "Miss Lu, don't forget, this is in the palace, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Yu Er, go and investigate immediately, what happened!"
"Yes, sir." Yu Er replied respectfully.
Hearing Chu Zixi's words, Lu Sisi's face turned pale instantly, and she shouted in panic: "No..." There was a hint of fear and despair in her voice.
Chu Zixi looked at her teasingly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "What? Miss Lu, didn't you say that I set you up? I asked someone to investigate, why did you stop them? Is there something shameful here?" Her voice was crisp and sharp, piercing into Lu Sisi's heart like a knife.
The ladies and young ladies present were all smart people, so they could understand what was going on. They all shook their heads and looked at Lu Sisi with contempt.
At this moment, Yu Er appeared with a nimble figure and quick movements, holding two people in his hands.
Everyone looked closely and found that the two people were actually two young eunuchs! Yu Er was seen lifting the two young eunuchs as easily as lifting chickens.
She dragged the two little eunuchs in front of everyone and threw them to the ground without mercy.
With two muffled thuds, a cloud of dust rose from the ground. The two young eunuchs were knocked unconscious and trembling. Their faces were as pale as paper, bloodless, as if they had lost their breath.
Their bodies were limp and they had no power to resist, so they could only let Yu Er do whatever he wanted.
The two young eunuchs knelt on the ground with their heads buried deeply, not daring to raise them at all. Their bodies were trembling as if they would collapse at any time.
At this moment, the whole scene fell into a dead silence. Everyone watched this scene quietly, and no one dared to speak to break the silence. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.
There was complete silence all around, with only the sound of the two young eunuchs' teeth chattering being clearly audible. The whole scene was extremely solemn, and the air seemed to have frozen.
A young eunuch could no longer bear the fear in his heart, and his voice trembled like a candle in the wind: "Princess, please spare me, please spare me! All this was instigated by the maidservant beside Miss Lu. She asked us to knock out the princess's personal maidservant, and also gave us spices to light in the pavilion on the rockery. As for other things, we really don't know anything..."
As he spoke, he took out a heavy purse from his bosom with trembling hands. The purse was embroidered with intricate patterns and was obviously worth a lot of money. "This... this is also the reward given by Miss Lu's maid."
The purse fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of everyone present.
Upon hearing this, Princess Li frowned. She looked at Lu Sisi, who was sitting on the side with disheveled clothes and a haggard face, and her tone was full of questioning and anger: "Lu Sisi, how dare you be so bold as to harm Zhaoyang?"
When Lu Sisi heard the accusations from everyone, her face turned paler, and her cheeks, which were already bloodless to begin with, became even more frighteningly pale.
She opened her eyes wide, filled with despair and unwillingness, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. She wanted to defend herself, but her voice was choked with sobs. She said with endless grievance and helplessness: "Princess Li, I am innocent! I am the victim. I am the victim..."
However, before she finished her words, tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, soaking her clothes. Her body was trembling slightly, as if she was under great pain and pressure. But her weak excuses seemed so pale and powerless in the face of such ironclad facts that people could not help but feel pity for her.
At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd: "Huh? Isn't this man Lu Sisi's cousin?"
Then, more voices rang out: "Ah, so that's how it is. How shameless! You pretend to be noble on weekdays!"
"Who said it wasn't?" These words were like sharp blades, piercing into Lu Sisi's heart, making her face turn pale in an instant.
Listening to the people around her talking louder and louder, Lu Sisi finally couldn't help but burst into tears: "Shut up, all of you shut up, it's not what you said."
However, her crying did not arouse anyone's sympathy, but instead attracted more ridicule and contempt. "What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did?"
Someone sneered. "That's right, if you do something like this, you must have the courage to bear the consequences." Another person echoed.
