The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 707: Sorry

Imperial Concubine Meng’s sudden rage frightened everyone, especially Dong Xiyun. Her heart sank, and her little face turned pale!

What… did the imperial concubine just say?!

She asked her to go back and cultivate her character?!

“Please calm down, Your Highness. I was ignorant. I didn’t know that those two had committed such a big crime. If I knew, I wouldn’t have said such reckless things!” Dong Xiyun reacted very quickly. She remained kneeling and quickly said.

Her voice was a little shaky, and she sounded very pitiful.

The few young ladies who pleaded with her also reacted and quickly said, “Your Highness, we didn’t know the truth. Young Lady Xie didn’t tell us that those two gardeners were s-so terrifying.”

After saying this, they remembered what the imperial concubine said!

Human bones… as fertilizer?!

So those charming flowers outside actually had the ashes of dead people in the soil?!

Those two damned things!

These young ladies were regretful now. They had really been muddle-headed. They had actually followed Young Lady Dong to plead for those people!

Now, the Empress and the imperial concubine must have thought that they were fools who could not distinguish right from wrong!

However, it was also because this Young Lady Xie… was a little too much. She clearly knew why she had to punish those two, yet she did not tell them…

Xie Qiao was not in a hurry either. She said slowly, “Just now, when I returned to the palace, a few young ladies already criticized me. I wanted to explain, but halfway through my words, I was intercepted by Young Lady Dong. I…”

Xie Qiao looked innocent and pitiful. “Your Majesty, I wanted to tell them the truth several times, but they… didn’t listen. They said that I was vicious and cold-hearted, but I didn’t have a chance to refute them. They insisted on asking for mercy… I really can’t say anything. I feel very wronged.”

Xie Qiao’s eyes were watery and helpless.

She even looked sad.

Compared to Dong Xiyun’s pitiful look, Xie Qiao’s acting was better.

Everyone could not help but recall the scene just now.

Dong Xiyun’s body stiffened. She thought about it and recalled.

Xie Qiao seemed to have… wanted to say something indeed, but she did not take it to heart at that time and stopped her. If that was the case, did Xie Qiao want to say that the two gardeners had done evil things?

Dong Xiyun suddenly felt as if she had swallowed bird poop.

“Your Highness, I can testify that Young Lady Xie really wanted to explain, but Young Lady Dong didn’t give her a chance. Young Lady Xie was wrongfully accused of being a cold-blooded person. She’s truly innocent.” Fang Muxue immediately stood up and defended Xie Qiao.

The few young ladies who were close with Xie Qiao also defended her.

The Empress and Imperial Concubine Meng knew this very well.

There were people in the imperial court who used the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince as sparring partners. They were always quarreling with each other. As the fiancee of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, it was inevitable that they would fight against each other.

They had thought earlier that Dong Xiyun was just too popular. They were worried that the Princess Consort would feel a little uncomfortable.

However, they did not expect that it was not Xie Qiao who felt uncomfortable. It was actually Dong Xiyun.

Anyone with eyes could see that Dong Xiyun was unwilling to accept this matter. She kept finding fault with her, and her words were laced with sarcasm!

Imperial Concubine Meng looked at this dissatisfied future daughter-in-law and felt a little stifled.

Dong Xiyun knew that she had lost now. If she continued to speak ill of Xie Qiao, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Meng would only have a worse impression of her.

Immediately, her eyes reddened as she said, “I know my mistake! It’s all my fault today. I used to know a good friend. That good friend was a student of the Orchid Courtyard who went to the same class with Young Lady Xie. She said many bad things about Young Lady Xie in front of me. I was blinded and thought that Young Lady Xie was a heartless person. I didn’t expect… Young Lady Xie, it’s all my fault. That good friend of mine… she made some mistakes before. She was arrested and sent to prison. I was actually foolish enough to be influenced by her words… I’m sorry!”
