An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 176 The Hidden Facts (Part Three)



Chapter 176 The Hidden Facts (Part Three)

The servant was quite weak. He coughed for a long time before answering, "Your Majesty, Mister Wen

has admired Princess Hua Jing since he was young. Aware of his position, Mister Wen never dared to

tell Her Highness. Today, Mister Wen saw Princess Hua Jing in the garden and found that she was

upset. He also noticed that Her Highness had hurt her hand with the rose thorn. Mister Wen was

worried, so he followed Her Highness. Fearing that he might damage Her Highness's reputation, Mister

Wen stopped at the gate. As he hesitated, he heard the Princess scream. So Mister Wen rushed in to

see what had happened. What he saw was beyond his expectation. He saw......"

The servant coughed again and spit some blood. After a while, he continued. "Mister Wen saw

Princess Hua Jing and the third Prince of the State of Yelang together. They were both lying on the

ground. And the Prince had already... already lifted up Her Highness's dress. He had even taken off her

underpants...... Mister Wen has admired the Princess for a long time. He thought the Prince of the

State of Yelang was forcing Her Highness. So he rushed to protect her. The Prince of the State of

Yelang is good at Kung Fu. He took out a dagger and swung it towards Mister Wen. I quickly covered

Mister Wen with my body. I was stabbed by the Prince. But Mister Wen couldn't let go. He pulled out

the dagger and swung it towards the Prince of the State of Yelang. The Prince wasn't expecting that, so

he was unprepared. That is how Mister Wen stabbed the Prince."

Hearing the servant's words, Hua Jing lost all her strength. She trembled and glared at the servant with

a murderous look. If allowed, she would definitely kill the servant and cut him into pieces. But there

were so many people present. So Hua Jing didn't dare to do anything. She could only stay where she

was and feel humiliated by how everyone was looking at her.

The servant was still talking. "Princess Hua Jing saw them fighting. She was scared, so she screamed.

The scream was loud enough to bring guards to the garden. So the third Prince of the State of Yelang

told his servants to dump me in a remote place where no one could find me. The last thing I remember

was seeing Princess Hua Jing and Mister Wen talking. But I don't know what Princess Hua Jing told

him. I only remember being throwing off the rockery. I held my breath to fool the Prince's guards. They

thought I was dead, so they left. Then I heard someone talking about sentencing Mister Wen to death

because he stabbed the Prince of the State of Yelang......" The servant's voice became softer and

softer. The imperial physician walked to him and took out a bag of herbal medicine to press on the

servant's wound.

After the servant finished his report, everyone knew what had really happened. They all looked at

Emperor Ning and wondered what he would say. The Emperor looked calm, but his eyes were filled

with flames of fury, as if he was about to blow up because of his anger.

"Your Majesty! I've just found this dress in a garden of the west area. And I've asked the servants there.

They testified that Princess Hua Jing had been there." A soldier ran in the garden with a peachy red

dress in his hand. Peach flowers blossomed on the hemline of the dress. The dress looked exactly like

what the witnesses had described.

Emperor Ning whacked the arm of his chair. Everyone was shocked by his action. They quickly knelt

and said, "Your Majesty, please don't lose your temper."

"Guards, bring the third Prince of the State of Yelang here. I will question him. How dare he assault the

Princess of the State of Ning? Don't think we are vulnerable!"

The Emperor's voice was loaded with anger. And he was repressing his feelings.

"Your Majesty, I am He Numo from the State of Yelang. And I'm questioning your decision. Princess

Hua Jing was found by Prince Qingsu several months ago in the woods. Our Prince wasn't aware of

her identity at that time, so he made her his intimate partner. And, according to your Princess, the

father of the child that was aborted several days ago was our Prince."

A voice with dissatisfaction rang up. Everyone was surprised by the person who was talking. 'Damn it.

Why did he bring it up here? Now we all know the secret of the Royals. If the Emperor wants to make

trouble, we can't get away.'

But they also had their own thoughts about the news shared by He Numo. They remembered that NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

several months ago, Princess Hua Jing really had been to the border. But it was said that she went

there to look for her husband who had been missing. And many of them had complimented the

Princess for her brave behavior. And they had also heard the rumor about Princess Hua Jing from

several days ago. It was said that the Princess had a miscarriage during the hunting game. She had

been pregnant for three to four months. When they first heard the rumor, they gossiped and thought it

was natural for a widowed woman to have an affair. In this case, the widowed woman was the

Princess. She was in such a high position that she could have more than one lover if she wanted.

While the people were sympathetic to her circumstances, they did feel that it was improper for her to

get pregnant.

But they didn't expect that the child belonged to the third Prince of the State of Yelang. Three months

ago, the State of Ning was at war with the State of Yelang. In that case, Princess Hua Jing committed

the crime of treason. No wonder she had tried so hard to bury the truth.

"How dare you interrupt me? Guards! Take He Numo out. Flog him with the rod fifty times." Emperor

Ning was irritated by the man.

Everyone else lowered their heads to avoid the Emperor's wrath. But seeing the Emperor's reaction,

they felt more convinced that He Numo had spoken the truth.

Just as He Numo was about to be dragged out, the third Prince of the State of Yelang stepped into the

garden. Since he had recently been stabbed, he looked unwell. His waist was heavily gauzed. Blood

was seeping from the gauze. But Prince Qingsu wasn't too weak to walk. He just walked more slowly

than usual.

Hearing Emperor Ning order the flogging of his trusted minister, Prince Qingsu didn't overreact. He just

raised his eyebrow and said, "Your Majesty is right. You should punish He Numo. Princess Hua Jing's

reputation cannot be damaged by such smear."
