Princess Jiashan felt as if someone pushed her lightly from behind, causing her to fall forward.
Mo Zhaohua stood sideways in front of her, and under her push, he was about to be pushed into the lotus pond.
Suddenly, Mo Zhaohua turned sideways to face her, hugged her and pushed her forward, then threw her to the ground.
Mo Zhaohua was prepared. She deliberately did not turn her back to the lotus pond, but stood sideways so that she could control her center of gravity.
The moment she saw Princess Jiashan rushing towards her, she reached out and hugged her and took the opportunity to push her forward, shifting her center of gravity forward, preparing to fall into the water together.
But at the critical moment, she felt something hit her back hard, which helped her fall forward and press Princess Jiashan to the ground.
Rong Yue and several maids saw them fall to the ground and came over to help them. No one noticed Chu Xuanhan's disappointed expression.
"Princess, cousin, are you okay?" Rong Yue was frightened. She once fell into the water while playing when she was a child, and she didn't dare to go near the water until now.
Princess Jiashan looked a little embarrassed. "What happened just now? Who was so bold as to push me?"
The palace maids who followed her immediately knelt down and said, "We didn't do that, and we didn't see anyone push the princess."
Princess Jiashan muttered, "That's strange. I clearly felt that someone pushed me gently from behind, which caused me to pounce on my cousin."
This was certainly not her illusion. Leng Yan took advantage of her unpreparedness and attacked her back with his internal force. He deliberately restrained his strength for fear of leaving marks.
Mo Zhaohua also felt external force on her back, but it was different from what Princess Jiashan said. The force was very strong and her back was burning with pain.
It seems that the two forces did not come from the same person. The one who attacked Princess Jiashan wanted the princess to push her into the water to create an opportunity for Chu Xuanhan.
Once Chu Xuanhan goes into the water to save her, the two of them will have physical contact. For the sake of the woman's reputation, she must marry him. What a vicious mind.
But she was well prepared. Even if she was plotted against, she would let Chu Xuanhan save the princess first, and she would dive away in time and would never let Chu Xuanhan's scheme succeed.
But she didn't expect that someone would help her secretly, and that person's identity was probably related to King Yu. He was helping her.
After she figured it out, she calmed down and started to care about Princess Jiashan, "Is the princess hurt?"
Princess Jiashan shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I just almost pushed my cousin into the water."
Mo Zhaohua said: "I'm glad you're okay. I'm fine too. It's not safe here. Let's go somewhere else to play."
Rong Yue quickly agreed, "Okay, I don't like the waterside either. It scares me just by looking at it. Let's go somewhere else."
Chu Xuanhan failed and wanted to use the same trick again, but seeing that the real boss was about to leave, he couldn't force them to stay.
Princess Jiashan tilted her head and said, "It's not fun in the mansion. It's not as good as the palace. How about we go to the street?"
Mo Zhaohua's back still hurt, and he didn't want to go out. "The princess only brought two guards, I'm afraid it's not safe."
Princess Jiashan looked at Chu Xuanhan, "Isn't our Sixth Brother still here? He has asked for leave, so he should be free, right?"
Chu Xuanhan didn’t really want to accompany her in the first place, “I don’t have much time, but you can leave a few guards for my sister.”
Princess Jiashan asked expectantly, "With the protection of my brother, do you have any other worries, cousin?"
Mo Zhaohua could only bite the bullet and risk his life to accompany the princess, "No, but we just had dinner, let's take a break first."
Rong Yue had a full lunch and had long wanted to sit down and rest. "Okay, then we can talk in private for a while."
Chu Xuanhan couldn't follow them into the women's boudoir, so he could only leave two guards behind and take the only remaining Leng Yan away.
As soon as he left the Shangshu Mansion, his face darkened and he got on the carriage with the logo of Prince Qi's Mansion unhappily.
Leng Yan followed him in, lowered the curtain and knelt on his knees, "I have failed to do my job well, please punish me, Master."
Chu Xuanhan was furious when his plan failed, "What's going on? You can't even handle such a small matter?"
"Master, calm down. I was afraid of hurting the princess and leaving evidence, so I didn't dare to use force. I didn't expect Miss Mo to react so quickly."
Although Leng Yan's master is Prince Qi, the princess cannot afford to offend him. If anything goes wrong, Prince Qi might abandon him directly.
Chu Xuanhan frowned, "This woman's reaction is really quick. It seems that I have to take the initiative."
***
Royal Palace, study.
Shuying was standing in front of the desk reporting to Chu Xuanchi.
"Fortunately, that person's attack was not heavy, and my subordinates still have enough internal strength, otherwise I would not be able to stop Miss Mo."
Chu Xuanchi just frowned and listened before, but now he spoke, "Then did you hurt her?"
Shuying explained, "Master, the situation is urgent. If I had used less force, Miss Mo would have fallen into the water."
Wuying chimed in, "Prince Qi obviously intended to plot against Miss Mo's reputation, and Shuying had no choice but to do so."
Chu Xuanchi shook his head, "This king does not mean to blame you. This old man is indeed two-faced and full of tricks."
Shuying pinched her chin with interest, "This shows that Prince Qi is anxious and has no chance of winning the marriage with Miss Mo."
Wuying nodded in agreement, "Today is Miss Mo's coming-of-age ceremony. Since he is so anxious, I'm afraid he will come up with another plan."
Shuying suggested, "Master, public opinion is extremely favorable to you. Should we take the initiative and seize his advantage?"
Chu Xuanchi pondered, "It's not the right time yet. If I take the initiative to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, my father will regard her as my weakness."
Wuying was a little worried. "If Prince Qi asks for permission first, and if Concubine Liang helps, the master's chances of winning will be much smaller."
Chu Xuanchi didn't care. "There are people not only in the Sixth Prince's palace. There will be people who are more anxious than me. Just wait patiently."
Shuying's eyes sparkled with wisdom, "Master, are you referring to the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine?"
"They..." Chu Xuanchi paused, "If they can think of the Fuguogong Mansion, they will have some considerations."
The Fuguogong Mansion has three generals in its family and holds military power, holding an important position in the army of the western frontier. But Mo Zhaohua, the granddaughter, is the most favored by the Fuguogong.
However, the people in the palace that Chu Xuanchi was referring to were not Concubine Chunhui and Concubine Xian.
