Poison Consort Restarts to Change Fate - C8
The national banquet was held in the western part of the palace, not far from Xiao Yi’s sleeping quarters. Shen Yuanxi followed behind her and arrived at the garden within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
However, the fact that the two of them, who usually did not fight, suddenly walked together immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Regardless of whether it was Shen Yuanxi or Xiao Yi, they paid no heed to the gazes directed their way as they calmly strolled in.
Shen Yuxi swept her gaze across the crowd and then locked onto a few of the noble ladies.
Those people were the daughters of the nobles and ministers with whom he was on good terms with. They were usually on good terms with Shen Yuanyi, and did not look down on her because of the rumors that had been circulating recently.
Shen Yuxi didn’t seem affected at all by the looks being cast at her by the surrounding onlookers.
People were also like clouds. If these people believed those rumors, then it would only mean that there were only a few less people for her to befriend.
However, how could these people truly understand if the truth was that she was rumored to be so empty-handed?
Although Shen Yuanxi didn’t mind, the man beside her was clearly furious. Did they really think he couldn’t hear them?
Dammit, who gave them the guts to insult Yuan Xi so casually?
Xiao Yi’s previously gentle face suddenly turned cold as she swept her eyes over the people talking to her.
The eighth prince’s face darkened, and he was noticed by everyone.
No one noticed, however, that they had angered him, and they all assumed that he had darkened his face because of Shen Yuxi’s unbearable state.
After all, they had always been at odds with each other, and no matter what the occasion was, they could always cause a ruckus. After all, they had always been at odds with each other, and no matter what, they could always cause a ruckus.
Everyone began to speak even louder, afraid that Xiao Yi wouldn’t be able to hear them. Princess Huihe turned to Shen Yuanxi and said sarcastically, “I say, Miss Shen. This state banquet isn’t a place for vulgar people like you to come.”
As she spoke, Princess Hui He took a few steps forward and sized her up, “This princess heard that you broke the Duke of Qin’s jade cup a few days ago? “Tsk tsk, Miss Shen was even able to shatter a cup when she looked at it. This is truly …”
“Enough!” Before Princess Hui He could say anything, Xiao Yi interrupted her with a cold voice.
Xiao Yi’s cold eyes stared at her, his handsome face filled with anger. “You’re too noisy!” If you do not know the truth, then do not speak carelessly! ”
Princess Hui He glared angrily at Shen Yuxi. Her eyes reddened as she looked unhappily at Xiao Yi. “Shen Yuxi is obviously vulgar, but she doesn’t know what’s the big deal. Why are you scolding me like this?”
“Are you free to slander Yuanxi?” Xiao Yi looked coldly at Princess Hui He, a trace of coldness in her eyes.
Princess Hui He was stunned by Xiao Yi’s gaze, but what shocked her even more was what she had said.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face as he gently raised his hand. Without the slightest emotion, he said, “Princess Hui He has spoken such arrogant words, slandering Miss Shen with her staff at twenty!”
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s command, the guards at the entrance immediately headed towards Princess Hui He, their faces expressionless.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yi in horror, only to see him staring at her with that same chilling smile on his face. All of the noble ladies moved away from Xiao Yi in fear, their eyes filled with panic.
Because just now, they had also slandered Shen Yuxi!
Princess Huohe’s body went limp as she fell to the ground and stared blankly at Xiao Yi.
Suddenly, her eyes turned to Shen Yuxi, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She got up and ran towards her husband. “Shen Yuxi, you bitch!”
Shen Yuanxi cast a cold glance at her sister. She wasn’t the least bit worried about her safety; she still had Xiao Yi by her side!
As expected, before Princess Hui He could reach her, Xiao Yi viciously kicked her to the corner of the wall.
The sound of her breathing suddenly echoed throughout the entire garden. Without waiting for the noble ladies to react, two guards lifted up Princess Huihe and placed her on a bench, imprisoning her movements.
Following that, one of the guards wielded a long staff and ruthlessly struck her body.
Shen Yuxi watched the scene with a complicated expression on her face. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to stop Xiao Yi, but she understood that Xiao Yi’s decision wasn’t something that could be changed with just a few words.
Moreover, he was trying to help her vent her anger. She didn’t want to make their relationship become stagnant just for the sake of someone else.
This Princess Hui He could only deserve to be beaten.
However, the feeling of someone helping him vent his anger really deserved to die… Not bad!
The sound of the staff berating resounded through the entire garden one after another. The faces of all the noble ladies turned pale from fright. Accompanying Princess Hui He’s mournful scream was an extremely solemn atmosphere in the garden for a time.
No one dared to say another word as they carefully watched Xiao Yi’s expression. They were all afraid that he would accidentally anger this living Hades and bring trouble upon themselves. This would end badly for them.
Princess Hui He screamed miserably as blood slowly flowed out from her back due to the scolding of the staff. This made all the noble ladies’ bodies tremble.
Shen Yuxi watched the scene quietly, her thoughts drifting away. Indeed, whether it was her previous life or this one, Xiao Yi had the ability to frighten people. The bloodthirsty, brutal aura she exuded was also the result of countless battles.
After all, as the most beloved prince of the Emperor, he was going to suffer assassinations and plots that far surpassed those of other princes. His life would also be much more difficult.
Before him, there were many princes who had already grown up.
That was the reason why he was so accomplished at such a young age. His methods were overbearing, and he was ruthless …
Xiao Yi frowned as she looked coldly at the quivering ladies. With an evil grin, she coldly said, “So noisy!” Tell her to shut up for This King! ”
Princess Hui He naturally could not shut her mouth when she was caned. However, the thing that the palace did not lack was taking shortcuts. If Princess Hui He did not shut her mouth, the imperial guards would naturally have other methods to shut her up.
The guards at both sides of the hall skillfully took out a cloth and without any hesitation, they gagged Princess Hui He.
Suddenly, only the sound of sobbing could be heard in the garden.
The ladies who didn’t dare to say a word were terrified. They covered their mouths in fear that they might accidentally scream and anger Xiao Yi, causing them to be dragged down as well.
Only Shen Yuxi, who was watching the scene, smiled and pursed her lips.
