Zhu Xue, who had been roused by Ning Lu, came back to her senses. She touched the wound on her lips and came up with a plan. She motioned for Ning Lu to come over, as if she was going to do something unsavory.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the King and Yan Jiao, so no one noticed their small movements.

“Eh? Do you dislike it or are you shy?” The man looked at Yan Jiao’s embarrassed expression and pressed himself against her in satisfaction, pulling her into his arms.

At this moment, Ning Lu’s voice could be heard. “Miss, miss, if you’re feeling uncomfortable, you can hurt me. Don’t hurt yourself!”

The women at the table knew about Zhu Xue’s tricks, but they still looked at Zhu Xue and waited for her performance.

“Zhu Xue, what are you doing now!”

The man was originally teasing Yan Jiao, and he was quite happy to see her embarrassed and cute appearance.

Before he was done, he heard Ning Lu’s ghostly cry.

The man frowned unhappily as he was interrupted, and his pupils turned into vertical slits.

Zhu Xue’s body was stained with blood, like a wintersweet flower, and it was dotted on her light-colored clothes. It made the beautiful and charming Zhu Xue appear extremely fragile, making people have the urge to protect her.

“Zhu Xue, what are you doing?”

“Little sister Zhu Xue, you are…”

Some of the women who were close to Zhu Xue had already figured out what she was going to do. Thinking of the protection they had received from Zhu Xue in the Snake Palace all these years, they went along with Ning Lu’s words and started piping up.

The man looked at Zhu Xue’s fragile appearance and helplessly said, “Zhu Xue. ”

“Your majesty… ” Zhu Xue called out to the man weakly. The bloodstains on her body attracted his attention.

Although it was for the sake of acting, but for the sake of the realism, Zhu Xue endured the pain and ruthlessly hit herself. Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen. Although Zhu Xue was also a serpent creature and had a strong body, losing too much blood could still be life-threatening.

“Your Majesty, miss has been wronged. Otherwise, otherwise, miss would not do something that would hurt herself.” At this time, Ning Lu was like Zhu Xue’s mouth, saying what Zhu Xue wanted to express.

“Your Majesty, you have to seek justice for the young miss. You can’t let the young miss suffer in vain.” As Ning Lu said this, her eyes were still fixed on Yan Jiao. Even a fool could tell that she was trying to frame Yan Jiao.

The man was still holding Yan Jiao’s hand, and he nodded twice for signal her to continue.

“Your Majesty, before you came in, miss was slapped by miss Yan Jiao.” Ning Lu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she closed her eyes and said these words.

“Miss was introducing miss Yan Jiao to the exquisite dishes that you had specially arranged for the chef to make. Then, miss Yan Jiao insulted miss. Miss was so angry that she wanted to argue with her. Who would have thought that miss Yan Jiao would slap miss? ”

When Ning Lu said this, Zhu Xue, who was being supported by her, covered her face and cried. When she lowered her hand, one could clearly see that there was an additional red mark on her right cheek.

Eh? Did she use so much force just now? Yan Jiao looked at the conspicuous red mark on Zhu Xue’s face and thought in confusion.

“Did such a thing happen?” The man turned to Yan Jiao and asked expressionlessly.

The man’s face was handsome, but once it lost its expression, it looked particularly cold and ruthless.

“I did slap her when you first came in.” Yan Jiao did not dare to nor did she want to lie. “But that was because she wanted to hurt me first. I was just acting in self defense. ”

“Then what’s with the insults?”

“I won’t admit to this. It was Zhu Xue who ridiculed me first, but I ignored her and silently endured it because I’m just an ordinary human who can’t even truss a chicken.” Yan Jiao looked at the man with a firm gaze, and her tone was calm. “I only asked her what the meat was made of. After I had a taste, she suddenly rushed over and asked me to kneel down and apologize to her. I didn’t agree, so she came over and hit me.”

“Zhu Xue,” The man’s tone was cold, and Zhu Xue could not help but tremble.

“I didn’t. She’s just using flowery words to twist the truth!” Zhu Xue saw that the King’s face had darkened, and she loudly explained, “Your Majesty, you have to believe me.”
