The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 213
Pei Zhang Xi's arrival had actually been announced out loud by Kasim just like the other figures had come. But since all the women gathered around the campfire were in such a chaotic state, the, they did not manage to hear and were unaware of the arrival of Pei Zhang Xi's entourage which would naturally pass through where they were gathered and could easily hear what they were talking about given that they did not hold back their own voices.
Although basically most of these women did not say a word, but the fact that they were in the same place as Shen Li that was judged caused Pei Zhang Xi's fury, he said, they can't help but feel unafraid. They wring each other's hands and begin to look for excuses and defences that they will convey to save their respective fates.
Even the countable Madam Di did not say the words that demeaned Lu Jing Yu, yet feeling the domineering aura of Pei Zhang Xi made her unable to calm down and feel anxious. What if Pei Zhang Xi also counted because he was the one who spoke to Shen Li from the start? Thinking about it made Madame Di squeeze her hands behind her sleeves and quietly pray that she would not be the reason for her husband's career which was obtained with hard work and effort would just crumble. if this is really the case it is very unfair for her husband who has high dedication.
The most depressed in this matter was of course Shen Li. As he heard Pei Zhang Xi's low voice yet exuded dominance and elicited a feeling of intimidation, Shen Li felt his heart that was originally filled with spirit as he tried to praise Xian Mu Xuan in front of everyone or as he boldly argued with Madame Di just as suddenly he felt his heart it has fallen and stopped beating. He felt that his life was in big trouble.
In a still dazed condition, he subconsciously followed everyone who gave his greetings. His body had a bowing reaction as usual.
"greetings Your Highness the Crown Prince. Hail Your Majesty Crown Princess." Naturally they all gave greetings regardless of what the mood in their hearts was like.
Xian Mu Xuan had just sat down at his place which was beside Xian Zi Xuan with a narrow space as his limit. He did not know in detail what happened at the scene. But before that he also passed through the place along with Xian Zi Xuan and heard all the kind words and praise everyone had towards him, so when he found out if Pei Zhang Xi who had just come stopped there and saw from the huge change of atmosphere, he could at least guess what happened.
This must have been the stupid and naive Mistress Feng. Uh! But because he was too stupid, why think about it. A person like Shen Li could only be considered an ordinary passerby. It was different from Master Feng who had met him personally before they set out and praised himself in front of Xian Zi Xuan swiftly!
"Everybody's up." Pei Zhang Xi waved his hand and swept his eyes at everyone. Then looked at Shen Li sharply.
"So is it now that Madam Feng seems to be able to show her qualifications to interfere in the matters of the palace and judge a Crown princess?" Pei Zhang Xi loved his wife very much and would not let his wife be ruined by anyone else. He would count them right before his eyes.
Pluck up! Shen Li's knee which was only covered by three layers of cloth crashed into the uneven surface of the ground.In the forest, the ground even had more small rocks. Stomp it will only feel pain. Especially for Shen Li who since childhood lived in a luxurious and pampered residence. The resulting pain is even more painful. But even though she felt pain in her knee and could not wait to run and cry to complain to her husband, she did not even dare to show the slightest complaint.
All he had in mind was how he would save himself and the Feng family who might be dragged along with him.
"Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince. That's not what I meant. A servant is simply a woman who has no qualifications whatsoever to interfere in politics. How is it possible to have the qualifications to assess Her Highness the Crown Princess. Servants... The servant also did not mention if Her Highness the Crown Princess was inappropriate. Servant only praised Princess Shixian from the bottom of her heart." Said Shen Li carefully. He continued after he was sure of his words. "really. Right like that. Please Your Highness the Crown Prince is not mistaken for a servant."
"That's what His Majesty is. It would be of no benefit if His Majesty spoke unnecessarily with an insignificant person. Tonight is the last night and the closing of the event organized by the Emperor's Father. It would not be good if there was a problem. Especially just for trivial things, not worth getting attention." Lu Jing Yu touched Pei Zhang Xi's hand gently to stop him from speaking.
Pei Zhang Xi who loved his wife did not accept someone humiliating his beloved wife and his emotions were almost unstoppable. But his wife chose to ignore everything.
"Huh okay. There is no point in continuing to be here. After all, humans won't make calculations on wild dogs." After speaking, Pei Zhang Xi continued on his way without turning his head back followed by Lu Jing Yu and the entourage of servants and eunuchs who followed them.
Madam Di heaved a sigh of relief. However, her hope of not ruining her husband's career was fulfilled. He breathed a sigh of relief. Brushed his chest repeatedly.
Shen Li, although he finally escaped from the disaster that could attract the Feng family, yet he had to pay a heavy price. Pei Zhang Xi had just likened it to a wild dog in public. It was really very embarrassing and tore his high self-esteem apart.
"Huh! You understand what? Behold, even Her Highness the Crown Princess whom you have humbled has become your savior. If I were to feel in your current position, I would feel very ashamed and wish there was a big hole to bury myself rather than curse others." Madam Di who saw Shen Li's ugly expression could not keep quiet and immediately ridiculed him.
Shen Li was good at seeing the situation and chose not to serve Madame Di even though she was eager to tear her face apart. If not for the confrontation from him, how could he possibly have spoken such a reckless matter. But at this time, he was the center of attention and problems that he could luckyly avoid would not be impossible to appear even bigger. So he immediately turned around and left from the crowd without looking at the smug-faced Madam Di who was triumphant.
