Chapter 203 is over! The Xie family is finished!
The Empress looked at her for a long time and said, "This is a matter of great importance, concerning a woman's reputation. We cannot let it go like this."
The most important question is whether it was the General's Mansion or the Ministry of Personnel who managed to plant spies in the Crown Prince's residence.
The Empress was naturally furious.
These people are incredibly audacious. They haven't even entered the Crown Prince's harem yet, and they've already caused so much trouble. If they were to marry into the Crown Prince's household, who knows how many more problems they would create.
The Empress felt utterly exhausted.
She originally just wanted to see what kind of character Xie Jiaojiao from the Xie family was, and then find a reason to make the Crown Prince take her as his concubine.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jiaojiao didn't get to see much of the Xie family, but the other two members of the Xie family caused quite a bit of trouble.
Especially Xie Mingzhu.
"Where is Xie Xing?" The Empress looked at Madam Xie, Xie Yuhe, and the others.
"How can you determine that Luo Mingyue did it based on just a few words?"
"What about her?"
Where is Xie Xingren?
No one ever walks along and suddenly disappears from sight.
Madam Xie was extremely anxious. She said, "It's such a short distance. Where could my daughter, who is so big, possibly run off to?"
"Your Majesty, please have someone search this residence."
The Empress glanced at Luo Cheng'an.
Luo Cheng'an looked somewhat impatient. "She always has something on her mind."
Just as they were about to send someone to find Xie Xing, Xie Xing arrived dressed in a different outfit.
She was originally wearing a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), but now she wore a more elegant light blue long dress. Her hair was casually tied up with a hairpin, while the rest of her black hair was draped down her back, making her look slender and petite.
Her expression was still somewhat unpleasant, and her normally pale pink lips appeared exceptionally delicate and luscious tonight, rosy and glossy.
As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Xing.
She was originally dressed smartly, and although she was pretty and delicate, her outfit always gave people the impression of a young girl who hadn't grown up yet. But now she looked gentle and graceful, which was a pleasant surprise.
Even the Crown Prince, who had always disliked her, couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
After realizing what had happened, Luo Cheng'an's face showed a hint of annoyance, and he asked in a deep voice, "Xie Xing, where have you been? The Empress and I summoned you, and you still had time to change your clothes?"
Xie Xing also looked frustrated.
She first bowed towards the Empress and the Crown Prince before explaining, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am truly wronged. I was just following behind my maid when someone kicked me halfway there, causing me to fall into the water."
"Fortunately, I can swim and got up on my own. Otherwise, after tonight, Your Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince would only see my cold corpse."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The Empress was incredulous: "You were walking along when someone kicked you and you fell into the water?"
Xie Xing raised her head, her clear and bright eyes looking at the Empress with utmost sincerity: "Yes! Your Majesty! Although every word I said is true."
"I am truly unlucky, and I do not know if there are any villains who want to harm me."
As he spoke, Xie Xing gritted his teeth.
Damn it! That madman Luo Hanfeng!
[I didn't scold you enough just now.]
【No way, why are you arresting me just because he was drugged?!】
I'm so angry!
Xie Xing's anger remained unabated.
The system crashed even further: [Wait, is this male lead crazy? Are you really that charming? Why is he fixated on you?!]
Now look what happened, they even kissed!
They kissed!
The system started screaming, crawling in the shadows, crawling backwards in the shadows, jumping up and down, and the whole system was completely collapsing.
Xie Xing also felt very wronged.
She felt she was innocent in this matter.
"I did all the tasks you asked me to do diligently!" Xie Xing thought, feeling even more aggrieved. "I clearly did exactly what you said."
The popping sound from the system abruptly stopped.
It's just a system, so of course it doesn't understand complex human emotions.
Thinking about it this way, Xie Xing's ruthlessness wasn't strong enough.
[Your harsh touch is like a kitten tickling an itch; he won't hate you, he'll just feel good!]
You should have just cursed and humiliated him like you did before, and then ruthlessly trampled his dignity underfoot. That way, he'll hate you.
Xie Xing asked, seemingly skeptical: "Really?"
Speaking of this, the system perked up again.
Yes! I'll go and make a plan for you right away!
After saying that, it fell silent.
Its silence was a real hardship for the two Xie brothers who were eavesdropping on its thoughts.
Their pupils widened in shock.
What? They kissed?
Who kissed whom?
Luo Hanfeng Traditional Chinese Medicine?!
Wasn't Xie Xing always with them? How did Luo Hanfeng get drugged?!
What exactly is going on?
Could you please explain this to them?
The two of them almost desperately restrained themselves from shaking Xie Xing, trying to get her to explain the whole story.
Especially Xie Yuhe.
He felt so uncomfortable that it felt like ants were crawling all over his body.
Unlike Xie Yuze, Xie Yuhe witnessed Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng's entanglement firsthand, and Luo Hanfeng even knew Xie Mingzhu's identity as a princess from the previous dynasty...
and many more.
The identity of a princess from the previous dynasty?
Xie Yuhe was stunned by the sudden intimacy between Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng, and for a moment he did not think about the consequences of Luo Hanfeng knowing Xie Mingzhu's identity as a princess of the previous dynasty.
The shocks that followed came one after another, almost numbing Xie Yuhe with astonishment.
He forgot about this most important thing.
Now that he remembered it, Xie Yuhe felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was like a stone statue, petrifying and crumbling inch by inch.
Finished!
Finished!
It's all over!
The Xie family is truly doomed!
Xie Yuhe was almost laughing in his grief.
Xie Mingzhu alone was able to instantly bring down the once prosperous Xie family to the point of being executed along with the entire clan.
Xie Yuhe dared not imagine who else besides them knew Xie Mingzhu's true identity.
Now, Xie Mingzhu's identity as a princess of the former dynasty is known to Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng...
No one else needs to know anymore.
The Xie family is doomed.
No wonder Father wanted to form an alliance with Junlan Jin.
That was incredibly prescient.
One second, they saw Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng deeply in love; the next second, they heard Luo Hanfeng, under the influence of drugs, seemingly making inappropriate advances towards Xie Xing.
Xie Yuhe was completely dazed.
No one could know the turmoil in the Xie brothers' hearts. At that moment, everyone was captivated by what Xie Xing was saying.
Luo Mingyue sneered, "What Sister Xing'er said is quite interesting."
"In such a vast Crown Prince's residence, who could suddenly rush out and kick Sister Xing'er into the pond?"
"That sounds absurd."
Xie Xing tilted her head and looked at Luo Mingyue with a smile: "Sister Mingyue, what are you saying? Someone can drug my sister for no reason, so why can't someone want me to fall into the water and drown for no reason?"
"It's quite a coincidence that at today's garden party, my Xie family's daughter was the one who kept getting ambushed. I'm afraid it's targeting my General's Mansion, isn't it?"
