Chapter 1468: She Had Pushed Me!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The young crown prince consort was drowsily trailing not far behind them with a drooping head.
Following beside her, Haitang would intermittently be supporting her.
To tell the truth, she had originally thought they would be setting out at noon. Who knew that Her Majesty the Queen would call everyone together bright and early in the morning.
Qiao Mu yawned stealthily and looked up drowsily. Well this look, ha!
She happened to catch a glimpse of Yi’an glaring at her with hatred.
Crazy!
The young crown prince consort was not to be outdone and glared back at her!
This female hooligan had been trying to seduce her hubby again and again. Humph, she would give her a good and thorough lesson later!
She would let this female hooligan know why the flowers were so red1!
Mhm, she had to find a remote place and then give her a good, good lesson… eh?
Seeing that a petite foot was sneaking in front of her right under her eyes, the young crown prince consort was calm and unfazed as she directly… stepped down hard on it.
A crisp *crack* rang out, accompanied by a tragic scream.
The young sirs and noble ladies at the bottom of the stairs either turned their bodies or looked up to witness a certain woman tumbling down the stairs.
These stairs that consisted of more than a hundred steps!
This woman truly cut a sorry figure after doing this tumble down the stairs.
After finally tumbling to the bottom, she even nearly crashed into a certain young sir’s thigh.
Fortunately, that young sir stepped aside and was able to dodge in time.
Yet as a result, that woman was not able to brake during her tumble and finally crashed into the wheel of a carriage with a *bam* for a full stop.
This, however, spooked the horse into rearing onto its high legs with a neigh.
Seeing that those hooves were about to land and snap the woman’s neck, Duan Yue flicked his sleeve, hitting that horse’s leg with a pebble.
The horse flipped over in pain and crashed heavily to the ground. It landed right alongside that unlucky woman, with the both of them crying out nonstop.
Crown Prince Mo raised his phoenix eyes and glanced over in amusement.
Creasing her brows, Queen Zhao hastened down the stairs with the group of royal concubines and arrived at the carriage.
When she saw the woman who was clutching her leg in cold sweat and wailing while rolling about on the ground, Queen Zhao could not help but inquire with knitted brows, “What’s going on.”
“Sister, Sister!!” The fourth young lady of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate, Xu Mingxin, paled in shock. She ran up and reached out to help Xu Mingzhu up.
The woman who had humiliated herself by tumbling down those elevated steps was precisely the third young lady of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate, Xu Mingzhu.
“Ah, ah!!” Xu Mingzhu rolled back and forth on the ground while clutching her leg. When she saw Her Majesty the Queen walk over, she hastily scrambled up to her and wailed aggrievedly, “Will Your Majesty exercise your penetrating judgment! This subject beseeches you to take charge for her!”
However, Queen Zhao glanced at her coldly. “So it was the third young lady of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate. How could you be so careless. Someone, go summon a bone setting expert from the Royal Physician Building and treat Young Lady Xu’s leg.”
Xu Mingzhu shuddered all over, aware that Queen Zhao was warning her not to speak recklessly.
But she… she was unresigned to this!
Xu Mingzhu resolutely gritted her teeth and bawled to the high heavens, declaring, “Your Majesty, it was not that Mingzhu was not careful. Someone had pushed Mingzhu down! Someone wants Mingzhu’s life!”
Queen Zhao couldn’t help but be enraged. “You had best think it through before talking.”
This incident that happened before they had even set out was already a slight blow to Queen Zhao’s dignity. Hence, she promptly did not have a good opinion of this third young lady from the Marquis of Placation’s Estate.
Yet who knew that the third young lady had no brains.
She did not perceive Queen Zhao’s anger and even pointed with her finger, shouting, “Her, it was her! She pushed me!”
