C114 Part3

....

At the Side Hall of the Palace, Murong Ci asked Zhaohua to sit down, let her drink a cup of tea, and comforted her gently.

Murong Chang calmed down a bit, but sobbing and tears welled up from time to time, and her beautiful eyes were red and swollen like walnuts.

Yuan Xiu knelt down again to accept her punishment,

"This servant didn't take good care of the Princess and is guilty.

I will accept any kind of punishment without complaints."

"You really deserve to be punished, but now the Princess Sister still needs your care, so I'm going to ask you again."

Murong Ci asked with cold eyes,

"What exactly happened?"

"These past few days, everyone in the Palace was preparing for the marriage between the Princess and the Consort Husband.

Today, the Consort Husband came to visit the Princess.

The Princess thought that since he was her future husband, she had to welcome him properly, so she asked the Palace staff to send in fresh melons and pastries to entertain him.

The Consort Husband was quite polite and courteous.

He talked very happily with the Princess, but no one expected that he was like that..."

Yuan Xiu said indignantly,

"I suddenly felt sick in her lower abdomen, so I went to the hut in a hurry, leaving the Hall for a few minutes.

When I came back, I heard tragic screams from the Hall and rushed in immediately..."

"What did you see?"

Murong Ci asked coldly.

"I saw Young Master Gong sitting on the ground and bleeding a lot, and the floor was stained with a pool of blood.

The Princess was also sitting on the ground, the same as Your Highness has witnessed when you came in, panicked and terrified, and her whole body trembled."

Yuan Xiu replied.

"Prince Brother, you have to avenge this Princess..."

Murong Chang choked and shivered in terror.

Her frightened and hurt appearance really made Murong Ci feel pity.

"What did he do to you?"

Murong Ci frowned.

"He...he was terrible...

Seeing that he was very demeanor and insightful, I talked to him for a bit...

When I was eating melons and fruits, I accidentally dropped it on my clothes and went to the Sleeping Hall to change my clothes...

Unexpectedly, he followed in and peeked... at me while I was getting changed, then he rushed over and hugged me..."

Murong Chang said hoarsely, with tears in her eyes, too thick to dissolve her fear and panic, hugging her own body and trembling intermittently, as she said,

"Somehow, he carried me to the bed...

It was useless to resist, he was very strong...

He was like a beast pressing this Princess down and he tore my clothes fiercely...Boo hoo..."

Murong Ci held her in her arms and couldn't bear to let her recall the humiliating scene again.

For her, those memories hurt again.

Yuan Xiu was furious and with a murderous face,

"Your Royal Highness, this servant is going to kill the beast!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

Murong Ci hurriedly stopped.

"But the Princess..."

she said angrily.

"Prince Brother, this Princess couldn't push him away no matter how much I struggled.

He was very powerful, and he covered my mouth to prevent me from calling out for help..."

Murong Chang choked and said, with her little face fully covered by tears of pain and fear,

"He was like a beast...biting this Princess' neck and shoulders.

I was so scared that I grabbed the dagger from the pillow...and threatened him not to come.

Not only was he not afraid, but he also took away the dagger...

Then, I don't know how it happened, I didn't know what to do.

And...somehow, this Princess swiped hard and the next moment he started to bleed a lot..."

Her whole body trembled so badly that she couldn't control it at all, and it was like the kind of fear that comes from the soul.

Yuan Xiu explained:

"Your Royal Highness, that was the dagger that is usually placed by the bed when the Princess goes to bed every night.

Because the Princess is timid and afraid of assassins at night, she put a dagger by her pillow to defend herself."

Suddenly Murong Chang raised her head and looked at Murong Ci, asking in a panic:

"Prince Brother, this Princess injured him...

Will they file a lawsuit against the Royal Family, and will the Emperor Father punish this Princess for it?"
