Chapter 48 What is she doing!

When a person's lie is exposed, their first reaction is to refute it, and Xiao Cui is no exception. However, when she and Ye Jinshu met eyes, the words that were on the tip of her tongue could not be said.

Xiao Cui already knew who Ye Jinshu had chosen to believe. She could only look at Ye Jinshu with pleading eyes: "Princess."

Ye Jinshu did not respond. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to check the wound on Xiao Cui's body, but when she was about to touch it, her fingertips trembled, and the warmth of her palm finally fell on Xiao Cui's face.

Xiao Cui now had few exposed wounds, only a bruise on her neck and a wound on her hand that looked like it was caused by a blunt object.

And, a short, deep wound near the mouth.

Ye Jinshu looked at the wound on Xiao Cui's mouth, and his emotions surged up uncontrollably.

What is she doing! What is she doing! Huh?! What is she doing!
Damn the second lady of the Marquis of Jingkang’s Mansion. Their daughter Xiao Cui didn’t have many years left to live. It’s really abominable that they could be so cruel to a dying person.

Her poor Xiao Cui, whose biggest hobby on weekdays is gossiping, doesn’t know whether the injury to her mouth will affect her future happiness.

Her daughter Xiao Cui died early!
The more Ye Jinshu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the wound on Xiao Cui's mouth became more and more dangerous.

It was the first time Xiao Cui saw Ye Jinshu with such eyes. Normally, Ye Jinshu was very easy to talk to such close servants as them, but this time Ye Jinshu looked a little strange.

If she had to say it, it was the way Ye Jinshu looked at her that made her a little scared.

"My Lord, I'm really fine."

"No, you have something wrong." Ye Jinshu tried to impress Xiao Cui with his reliable eyes, "Tell me, is it that Jing Kang Er who did it? If you don't tell me, I will never be able to sleep in my life."

Ye Jinshu made a powerful threat. When Xiao Cui heard it, she thought that the princess was so weak just because she didn't sleep well at night. If she really couldn't sleep because of this, then she would be guilty of a heinous crime and deserved to die!
"Princess! I say! It was indeed the Second Miss of the Marquis of Jingkang Mansion. I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver the date paste cakes and bumped into the Second Miss. This is why it happened. It's all my fault."

In fact, Xiao Cui did not make any mistake. She was just caught in an unprovoked disaster by Cheng Yu who came to find Jiang Sisi to make her unhappy.

Perhaps there is another point. She is the princess's personal maid. Teaching her a lesson would be like slapping the princess in the face.

Xiao Cui clearly knew that this was Cheng Yu's way of demonstrating against Anping Palace, but she didn't want the princess to be the one to take the blame for this matter.

The Marquis Jingkang's Mansion is precious, and the emperor's sister is in charge of it.

No matter how favored the princess is in the palace, this favor comes from the emperor and empress. If she loses favor because of the second lady of the marquis's mansion, it would be a loss.

It would be better for her to suffer this injustice now, so that the princess can gain more love and favor from the emperor and empress, rather than losing the hearts of those two because of a momentary anger.

Xiao Cui has always known that her princess is simple-minded, so many times, before others try to anger the princess, she will say some disrespectful words on her behalf first, so that the princess will feel relieved, and if others pursue the matter, they will not blame the princess.

It is the same this time. It doesn’t matter if she is wronged, but the princess must be well.

Ji Yanqing easily saw what Xiao Cui was thinking at the moment. He also understood why Xiao Cui seemed to be very scheming, but what she did always put herself in danger.

It turned out to be a loyal servant.

Unfortunately, the loyal servants in the deep palace will never have a good ending.

After listening to Xiao Cui's words, Ye Jinshu had a further understanding of Ji Yanqing's ability. If she thought that Ji Yanqing could tell whether she was lying before, it was because she was too stupid.

But this time, Xiao Cui didn't say who hit her, but Ji Yanqing was able to guess who it was immediately, and then judge the truth based on Xiao Cui's answer.

Sure enough, she was right. The brain of the daughter of the first wife who killed everyone in the story was a replica of Ji Yanqing's brain!

At this moment, Ye Jinshu felt that he had become smart.

"You guys, take my sign and call the imperial physician to come and treat Xiao Cui's wound. Don't leave any scars on her face."

"You guys, take Xiao Cui to wash up and change into clean clothes."

After instructing Xiao Cui on what to do, Ye Jinshu couldn't wait any longer and decided to take his secret guards out of the palace to find trouble.

"Ji Yanqing, today the princess will send you out of the palace."

Ji Yanqing smiled, with a glittering arc at the corner of his eyes: "The princess is going out to look for the second young lady?"

"This is nonsense. She hit my people, so I have to hit hers too. This is fair. If I accidentally hurt the Second Sister while hitting her, it would be an accidental injury."

Ye Jinshu was frank and did not hesitate to tell Ji Yanqing that he was going out with the intention of beating up the second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion.

If the Marquis' Mansion tried to stop her, she would attack the entire mansion.

If you don't know whether you can survive or not, just hit the person first. Hit first and you'll feel good. Hit later and you'll lie down.

When Xiao Cui saw Ye Jinshu counting the number of secret guards from afar, she knew that something was wrong. It seemed that the princess wanted to lead the secret guards and rush out of the palace directly, but these secret guards were all the emperor and empress's men, and the princess could not completely confide in them!
Xiao Cui ignored the maid who wanted to take her to change clothes, ran back to Ye Jinshu, and knelt down directly: "Princess, I am a lowly servant, so I am injured, but the princess is a precious body, and her status is precious. Please think twice about the matter of the second lady of the Marquis's Mansion!"

Ye Jinshu listened and thought it made sense: "Then I'll think twice."

Xiao Cui did not feel relieved when she heard this, but instead had a bad feeling.

And every time she had this premonition before, it almost came true.

Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Ye Jinshu counting on his fingers and saying, "First, think about whether I am too polite to her. Second, think about whether I have given her face. Third, think about whether it is time to take action."

"I've thought about it, but I still think I have to take action."

At this moment, Xiao Cui suddenly understood what the princes had felt before.

And Ji Yanqing finally seized the opportunity to say the words he had always wanted to try: "The princess is wise."

Seeing Ye Jinshu raise his head proudly because of these words, Ji Yanqing felt the satisfaction of praising Ye Jinshu.

It turns out that making the princess happy is so interesting. He finally understands why Xiao Cui always coaxes her.

Ji Yanqing ignored Xiao Cui's murderous look at him. He had only one thought in his mind at this moment, which was to get closer to Ye Jinshu.

How can I get closer to her?

How can I make her unable to leave me?

"Princess, Yan Qing has a plan for the Second Young Miss."
