Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 503

503 I’ll Help You (4)

This was the mansion of the people of the State of Qin. Princess Ming An’s servants had long brought over a cloak to cover her wet body. However, Shen Miao was still wet-through. The cloak was already drenched and almost stuck to her body. Huangfu Hao stared at Shen Miao intently, making her feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, Prince Rui chuckled and suddenly took off his black cloak. He threw it on Shen Miao and covered her tightly. This action stunned the people around him. Ever since Prince Rui came to the capital, he had been alone. He was not on good terms with Ming Qi’s royal family and did not deliberately befriend the people from the State of Qin. However, strangely enough, he actually helped Shen Miao out.

Huangfu Hao looked at Shen Miao in deep thought, while Princess Ming An bit her lip enviously.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu helped Shen Miao stand up. Princess Ming An couldn’t help but say, “You were the one who pushed me into the water. If not you, why would I fall into the water? Did my servants push me?”

!!
Shen Miao smiled. Although her hair was all wet, her calm expression was much more dignified and presentable than Princess Ming An’s angry expression. She said, “My maid has already explained for me. I fell into the water first. How could I have pushed you into the water? Perhaps you accidentally slipped.”

Princess Ming An said angrily, “If I slipped, how could I fall into the middle of the pond?”

“Well, that’s even more strange.” Shen Miao said indifferently, “I’m not a strong man. Do you think I can push you that far?”

A chuckle suddenly sounded. Everyone looked at Prince Rui who had his lips curled up. However, although he was smiling, they could not see his expression under the mask.

Princess Ming An gritted her teeth and looked at Prince Rui. “Your Highness, you’re not from Ming Qi or the State of Qin. Please be the judge and see who is lying.”

When Huangfu Hao wanted to stop Princess Ming An, it was too late. Huangfu Hao was furious. Princess Ming An was arrogant, willful, and brainless. Although he knew that Princess Ming An was dealing with Shen Miao today, he did not expect her to use such a stupid method. If Shen Miao went back and complained about it to her father, Princess Ming An would be in trouble. Coincidentally, Prince Rui suddenly came to visit today and saw this chaotic scene. Huangfu Hao wanted to strangle Princess Ming An to death.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Princess Ming An looked up at Prince Rui with hope. Huangfu Hao looked a little embarrassed, while Prince Rui said with a smile. “Why should I care about these trivial matters between you?”

Princess Ming An was stunned. Shen Miao rolled her eyes.

“Your place is quite lively.” It was hard to tell if Prince Rui was being sarcastic or not, but his calm tone suddenly made Huangfu Hao a little unhappy. He glanced at Shen Miao, who was wearing Prince Rui’s cloak, and suddenly smiled. “It was just a misunderstanding today. I just didn’t expect Miss Shen to fall into the water today. I apologize to Miss Shen on behalf of my sister. I hope Miss Shen won’t take it to heart.”

“Brother Crown Prince!” Princess Ming An did not expect Huangfu Hao to give in to Shen Miao. She was anxious and shouted unhappily. However, she was glared at by Huangfu Hao and did not dare to say anything else. She only looked at Shen Miao with jealousy and hatred.

Shen Miao looked at Huangfu Hao and said indifferently, “Since His Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, I don’t dare to disobey.” Her forgiving words sounded unwilling and forced, making Princess Ming An angry again. Huangfu Hao was also stunned and looked at Shen Miao meaningfully.
